Episode 10: To Live And Die In L.A (1985)

Cody Ramone joins Devon And Doug in a discussion about William Friedkin's 1985 crime thriller.

Show notes

Cody Ramone returns to talk about a film of his choosing, To Live And Die In L.A starring Willem Defoe, William Peterson, John Pankow and John Turturro. This is a really fun episode in which Doug gets to once again gush about cinematographer, Robby Muller, while trying to rework the lyrics to “Greased Lighting” to better fit some random Transformers scenario. Also, listening to Devon recanting a family conversation about William Peterson’s full frontal nude scene is straight up Xanadu.

You should know that this film is not currently streaming anywhere. We had to score it ourselves by means that are usually reserved for that alley way behind the check cashing place. You know the one. Also, it should be pointed out, that if this episode fails at anything, it is the inexcusable lack of gush where Willem Defoe’s performance is concerned. If you’ve never seen the film you should - but either way know that when director William Friedkin discovered the range of his lead antagonist, he frantically scribbled out brand new scenes that weren’t in the script just so Defoe had more to do.

A couple of more notes here.

Next week, we’re doing Amelie. Yup.
