Episode 147 - Badlands (1973)

Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott, who this week is joined by Paul to chat about delinquents, dog killers and deranged dustmen. It's back to 1973 for a look at Badlands starring Sissy Spacek, Martin Sheen and Warren Oates….directed by Terrence Malick. "He wanted to die with me and I dreamed of being lost forever in his arms." A young couple goes on a Midwest crime spree in Terrence Malick's hypnotically assured debut feature, based on the 1950s Starkweather-Fugate murders. Fancying himself a rebel like James Dean, twentysomething Kit (Martin Sheen) takes off with teen baton-twirler Holly (Sissy Spacek) after shooting her father (Warren Oates) when he tries to split the pair up. Once bounty hunters discover their riverside hiding place, Kit and Holly head toward Saskatchewan, leaving dead bodies in their wake.
