TMBDOS! Episode 371: "Straight to Hell" & "Walker" (1987).
Lee is joined by Daeron Wilson to talk about two films from 1987 that seemingly destroyed Alex Cox's mainstream credibility. First up it's the crazed, surreal, punk rock spaghetti western parody "Straight to Hell"; then they turn their attention to a bio picture unlike any other: "Walker". Were these movies the pieces of garbage most critics seemed to think they were back then, or was Alex Cox just WAY ahead of his time. Hint: it was the latter. The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently. So bring your gang into our dusty little town, have a few drinks, a few laughs, and maybe you'll join us in a bit of innocent imperialism.
