Badlands (1973)

On this episode of the podcast Phillip is joined for the first time by Kevin Westbrook to talk all about Terrance Malick's debut film Badlands. Phillip starts the show by reading the general information about the film with some trivia sprinkled in. It's then time for Listener Opinions from Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Some reviews we talked about are linked here: Dave Kolonich = https://letterboxd.com/trunkshotcinema/film/badlands/reviews/ and Conor Colfer = https://boxd.it/5cDGzt. Then Phillip and Kevin discuss the film and tell some behind the scenes stories. It's a great conversation. They then answer the question of whether they noticed anything in it that Quentin Tarantino might have liked or used in a film. It's then time to individually rate the movie. Finally they answer whether they would buy this movie, rent it, or find it for free. Phillip then gives his Phil's Film Favorite of the Week; Love Lies Bleeding (2024). Kevin shares that he liked the movie Ratcatcher (1999). Phillip then promotes next week's show where he will be joined for the first time by Kristin Battestella, to discuss House of Dark Shadows from 1970. So join us then. Thanks for listening.
