Episode 345: Walter Hill, Meta Blues, Bombs And A Shower

Things get weird on the show this week with a vast array of new Blu-rays to talk about. Peter Sobczynski joins Erik Childress again to talk perfect films for the holiday by Bob Clark and Michael Haneke? Things get meta with both Kevin Smith and Nicolas Cage. New Tarantino in 4K and Walter Hill as well gives Peter an opportunity to talk about how he first encountered Roger Ebert. Erik gets to discuss his connection to Dawson’s Creek and you also get a pair of cult comedy classics and a pair of box office bombs in 4K; one of which Peter goes to bat for. Nick Nolte pops up a couple of times, Jack Lemmon wins an Oscar, a family tries to survive a nuclear holocaust and we go from a 50 foot woman to a 12 year old Brooke Shields living in a brothel.
