Episode 69: Killer Cars

from Slums of Film History · host Slate Donaldson

Automobiles have long been symbols for personal freedom. They took us places where we couldn’t otherwise travel. It’s this freedom to go anywhere and do anything that made us feel that behind the wheel we were in complete control of our own destiny. But what happens when we lose that control? What if someone or something takes that symbol of American individualism and transforms it into a harbinger of death and mayhem? Today we’ll look at the films where vehicles get a mind of their own and go on a path of destruction and discuss how those movies subvert and exploit America's love affair with the automobile. Come ride shotgun with us today as we take a joyride in some Killer Cars!
