Episode 67: That Time Jeff Bridges Posted Ass ("8 Million Ways to Die," 1986)

Proletarian Contrarian

Lewis and Nick jump back to the 80's for a post-mortem on Hal Ashby's final film, the neon-soaked neo-noir "8 Million Ways to Die" (1986). What begins as an awkward genre piece ends up as one of the more singular movies ever featured on the podcast. From a bizarre shootout in an empty warehouse to a nuanced depiction of alcoholism to Andy Garcia's rat tail, this flick does it all.
