Rutger Hauer Appreciation Month - ”Split Second”

from Cinema Degeneration · host Cinema Degeneration

We here at Cinema Degeneration have declared May 2022 "Rutger Hauer Appreciation Month!" Twice a week we'll be releasing a show diving into a different film from Mr. Hauer's catalog of 175 film and television roles all throughout the month of May. The late Rutger Hauer, who unfortunately passed away in 2019, was a consummate professional thespian, writer, director, and devoted environmentalist, amongst many many other things. He graced the silver screen in many amazing shockers and brilliant films, normally playing heavies and villains and was known for his intense yet subtle performances. His amazing talent truly knew no bounds. For our 5th episode we bring you a review and deep dive discussion on the absolute bonkers insane science fiction/horror/buddy cop flick extravaganza with the 1992 "SPLIT SECOND" which also stars Kim Cattrall, Neil Duncan and Michael J. Pollard.  This film is set in the flooded city of London in a futuristic and dystopian future of 2008, where our anti-hero and cop Harley Stone (Hauer) chases what could be an inhuman serial killer across the city. Join our hosts Cameron Scott (Cinema Degeneration CEO) and two very familiar co-hosts no stranger to Cinema Degeneration including Eric Phillips and Korey Dawson as the three of them talk about one of their favorite Rutger Hauer films.   "Are you telling me there's something running around loose in the city, ripping out people's hearts and eating them so he can take their souls back to hell?"

I also talk about true crime. If you love horror, cult classics, creepy shows, and the occasional random deep dive into something strange, you’re in the right place. Nothing here is super scripted or overly serious. It’s more like sitting around with friends after a late-night movie, breaking down what worked, what didn’t, and the moments that made you pause the screen and go, “Wait… what just happened?”Some episodes we’ll be reviewing movies.Some we’ll be talking about TV episodes.And sometimes we’ll just go down a rabbit hole about the weird history behind something we watched.So if you like late-night movie talk, dark stories, and conversations that feel a little unfiltered Explicit Strangers on a Podcast Grim Weed & The Conductor Attention passengers. Ride along with two perfect strangers as they criss cross movie land, stopping to explore cinema classics and not-so-classics. Can the strangers find common ground through film and form a friendship? Will their opinions vary as widely as the miles between them or can they meet in the middle and connect over a movie and some laughs? Can they manage to stay on topic? They’re just two average Joe’s from different parts of the U.S. that decided to prove the power of cinema. It’s a good time for all in the movie car as the strangers discuss trivia, history, impacts and influences of films you may or may not have heard of. All aboard! Hosted by: The Conductor and Grim Weed Explicit
