99CR 14: Angel
Manage episode 426483575 series 3526515
This week, Bryan and Dave get real sleazy with it and take a good long look at Angel, from 1984. Starring Donna Wilkes and a cast of wild character actors, including Susan Tyrrell in her second appearance on their podcast, Angel sets out to be a grimy exploitation movie that casts the seedy underbelly of the Hollywood Boulevard nightlife against the hard neon glow of the Los Angeles dream factory but it's a movie so in love with its oddball weirdo characters that it seems to struggle against the mandate to deliver violence, nudity, and cheap thrills, choosing instead to be a vehicle which provides its cast with all the scenery that they care to chew on. Make no mistake. Angel is garbage but it's remarkably lovable garbage that everyone should see.
