"This is how the world ends, not with a whimper but with a bang."
What does The Rock, Sarah Michelle Gellar, two Sean William Scotts, Justin Timberlake and enough SNL cast members to be a full episode create?
Richard Kelly's Southland Tales.
We're joined by the delightful Johnny Crawford, Vice-President of the Film Society to guide us through this labyrinthine plot and immerse us in the then-future 2008 Venice Beach realness.
A huge flop with it's premiere at Cannes in 2006, Southland Tales has been undergoing a reappraisal lately. Is it a masterful black comedy, a ruthless satire of the Bush era, a surreal Lynchian adventure or a weirdly prescient tale of the Trump era, or is it just trash.
Johnny, Cass, Matt and James open the bag to try to discern if Southland Tales has got soul.
