Episode 64 - Death Proof
from The AndyPlex Hosted by Andy Maiorano
Joining The Plex to discuss the 2007 double bill "Grindhouse" is producer, actor, and content creator Anton "Ace" Bassey. In this episode - this cinephile duo rev their engines to discuss Tarantino's "Death Proof." Kurt Russell plays the sinister "Stuntman Mike," a relic of yesteryear who has turned his stunt car into a killing machine. Stuntman Mike has operated with impunity thus far, targeting and killing young women. But he has met his match! "Grindhouse" is a love letter to the exploitative films of the 70s and 80s, usually choc full of violence and sex. Rough around the edges, and often beat up film prints, these films inspired an entire generation of filmmakers. Ace and Andy saw this when it arrived in 2007 and it shaped their cinephilia to come. What is about these films that are so fun? What lessons does "Death Proof" offer? Why at nearly 20 is "Grindhouse" a classic in its own right?
