from The 80s Movie Podcast · host Edward Havens

On this episode of The 80s Movie Podcast, we continue The Orphans series exploring one-off distribution company films. We take a look at Union City, Head-On, and Wired to Kill, three films that reflect the experimental and genre-driven side of standalone distribution releases from the 1980s. We discuss how each film was shaped by its production context and how they collectively reflect a broader pattern in distribution-driven film history. The Orphans series is an ongoing exploration of one-off distribution company films as part of The 80s Movie Podcast.

This episode continues an irregular series that takes a look back at a minor cinematic phenomenon that happened more often in the 1980s than in any other decade: the one-time-only distribution company, including the 1980 movie Union City, which featured the film debut of Blondie lead singer Deborah Harry.
