Bonus Episode: Cloak & Dagger (1984) (feat. Erik Childress)

Bonus episodes will be ending soon! We'll be back to our regularly scheduled program in a matter of days for sure. Instead of making this a Patreon exclusive, I decided to share this with everyone since it is a special one. Once again, I’m joined by Chicago film critic Erik Childress of the Movie Madness podcast as well as co-host of The Friendship Dilemma to record a full-length feature commentary track of yet another film from 1984. The first one we did together was for another film my dad and I bonded over, THE LAST STARFIGHTER. This time, thanks to a glorious 4K release from Vinegar Syndrome, we decided to finally follow-up with another commentary for CLOAK & DAGGER. It’s a movie that means a lot to me. Join us on Davy’s journey through espionage and intrigue - a nostalgia-fueled trip through our childhoods covering everything from Atari games to our appreciation for both Dabney Coleman and Henry Thomas as a great father/son pairing that surprisingly gets very moving thanks to Tom Holland’s ingenious script and Richard Franklin’s assured, subtle direction. Huge thanks to my dad for making sure I saw this at a young age as well as my Aunt Jean who somehow got a VHS bootleg copy that I wore out when I was a kid.
