FFR 207: Hollywood in the 1980s with special guests Walter Chaw

In our Hollywood by the Decade series, we’ve been exploring film history by watching and discussing landmark films from the beginnings of cinema up through the 1980s with new expert guests for each decade. In this final episode, we’re joined by two special guests: prolific writer and film critic Walter Chaw, and long-lost co-host Dr. Ebony Adams. We dive into what was happening in the 1980s politically and cinematically, discussing Walter’s picks: 1988’s MIRACLE MILE directed by Steve De Jarnatt, and Kathryn Bigalow’s 1987 vampire western NEAR DARK.Links Mentioned:Ebony didn’t mention this link, but she meant to, because Near Dark made her think of it, so she wanted to share - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X3RiliFsHw&feature=youtu.be Find Walter:https://www.filmfreakcentral.nethttps://twitter.com/mangiottoBook preorders - https://mzsworldstore.com/products/pre-order-a-walter-hill-film-hardcover-signedVoir on Netflix - Walter Chaw episode on 48 HoursFind Ebony:twitter.com/ebonyasterWomen in Film - wif.orgFind Us:Join our PatreonOur WebsiteSubscribe to FFR on Apple PodcastsSubscribe to our Star Trek PodcastTwitterInstagramtwitch.tv/femfreq (every Thursday at 6:30pm PT)
