28 - Dragged Across Concrete (2018)

from Dead Format

Fun time is over as Ben brings the boys back into their element with S Craig Zahler's brutal, nasty crooked cop heist nightmare "Dragged Across Concrete". Tim is left utterly confused as to what this movie is and we get into the bizarre hardboiled cop meta-satire and we talk Mel Gibson, the myth of Zahler as right-wing auteur, how the movie uses it's cheapness to it's advantage and wonder is this like the Synder Cut of DTV sleaze? The answer might surprise you. Also discussed: Blood Meridian, All About Lilly Chou-Chou, Little Fish, Obsession, Hereditary, Shortbus and an emergency review of Elliott Tuttle's "Blue Film"^. We will back next week talking Gregg Araki's harrowing 2004 drama "Mysterious Skin". Thanks as always to Disco and Eric. Letterboxed: DeadFormatPod Bluesky: DeadFormatPod ^ First act spoilers along with a cw for child sex abuse in the "Blue Film" talk, timestamp to skip is 9:00-18:00.
