HE012 Vision Quest

Team Hate Expectations lives up to their name again, as Lizzy, Nate, and special guest, Jeff Emery, weigh in on Vision Quest, the Terry Davis novel (1979) and the Harold Becker film (1985) adapted from it. In this episode our lunatic crew chases the story all over the mat, trying to grapple with a book that eschews conflict for verisimilitude, and with a movie that scores no points in reversing that completely. Listen to this podcast to find out why Lizzy apologizes to the entire city of Spokane, why Jeff tries to corrupt his young son, and why Nate talks way too much. Actually, you may never pin down the last answer. We just hope his rambling doesn't give you cauliflower ears.
