Episode 85: Black Moon Waning ("Black Moon Rising," 1986)

Proletarian Contrarian

Carpenter Month hits its first true speed bump, which goes by the name of "Black Moon Rising" (1986). Only tangentially related to Carpenter himself (who received a story credit), this awkward heist film has a smattering of clever sequences, but never really coheres into a solid story. With this in mind, listen along as Nick attempts to regale Lewis with anecdotes from his teenage years when he would climb on top of local arcade buildings for the thrill of it.
