Ep. 94 - To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)

Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally the unexplained.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve turn to back the clock to 1985 and examine the morally gray crime thriller To Live and Die in L.A. brought to you by the inimitable William Friedkin and which stars WTP favorites William Petersen and Willem "The Hog" Dafoe.

Join us as we discuss how this film inspired Steve's dad to join the treasury division of the secret service, one of the raddest car chase sequences of all time, revenge, and the gracefully synchronized movements of William Petersen who makes a strong argument to contest the "Hips" title from our reigning champion and patron saint, Bill "Hips" Paxton.

The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, we're playing for blood, remember?

Ditch the codpiece, we're going in dry.

Let's wax this counterfeit porpoise.
