Ep 156: Keeping Track featuring Jessica Young

Jessica Young joins us for a #VIDtober deep cut as we discuss the espionage/thriller/romantic comedy, 1986's KEEPING TRACK.  This movie stars Margo Kidder (SUPERMAN, THE AMITYVILLE HORROR) as Claire, a lady banker thrust into a world of genetically modified computer chips and government conspiracies when all she really wants to do is sell trains.  You know, as all bankers do.  Claire is forced to partner up with Hawkins, an overworked reporter from Action News.  Hawkins, played by Michael Sarrazin (THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY?), is the kind of reporter who finds the craziest stories.  They're so crazy that nobody believes him.  So, it should come as no surprise that Claire and Hawkins find themselves in the most unbelievable of situations.  We do our best to make sense of the plot in KEEPING TRACK.  That said, you shouldn't feel bad for not, well, keeping track.  Jessica helps us decipher the nuances of her native Canada where KEEPING track was shot.  We discuss the benefits of living above a bar/restaurant, differences between US and Canadian trains (although, we're not sure there is any difference) and the proper way disguise yourself when the CIA, FBI, RCMP, and the Canadian Government all want you dead. We introduce a new element to the podcast, "Point Counterpoint".  We're still working out the kinks.  While there is no "lube talk" in this episode, some of the hosts have a visceral response to needing to read "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud" in grade school.  Enjoy.For all the shows in Someone’s Favorite Productions Podcast Network, head here: https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/.
