"A repo man spends his life getting into tense situations."
-- Bud, Repo Man
It is happening again...My co-host with the most Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Ghostwood: The Twin Peaks Podcast! This time, we continue our retrospective of Twin Peaks Actors in Other Films by discussing Repo Man, the 1984 science fiction dark comedy film directed by Alex Cox, starring Harry Dean Stanton as Bud, Emilio Estevez as Otto Maddox, Tracey Walter as Miller, and Fox Harris as J. Frank Parnell!
LET'S ROCK!
In this episode, Xan and I discuss things like Xan's favorite Harry Dean Stanton movie, Alex Cox's Sid & Nancy, confusion with the movie Repo Men, Xan's spiffy copy of the Repo Man Criterion Collection blu-ray release, Mike Nesmith from the Monkees, the best Bronson Pinchot movie, the cameo appearance by the Circle Jerks, Zander Schloss joining the Circle Jerks after they appeared in Repo Man, the album A Tribute to Repo Man, running down the Repo Man soundtrack, Agent Rogersz' Michael Jackson glove, Dennis Hopper being considered for the role of Bud, the planned alternate ending to the film, all of the repo men being named after beers, how the 1964 Chevy Malibu glowed, the Rodriguez brothers being modelled on the underground comic The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, the photo of aliens actually being water-filled condoms in grass shirts, Bud basing his Repo Code on Isaac Asimov's First Law of Robotics, Fox Harris not being able to drive a car, the satire of L. Ron Hubbard's Dianetics, Muhammad Ali being offered a role in the movie's finale, Otto being a suburban punk, Bud showing Otto the ropes as a repo man, the $20,000 bounty on a crappy 1964 Chevy Malibu, the United Fruitcake Outlet, Lite having the complete opposite of Bud's code, Leila being upset that Otto dumped her after she tortured him, our mutual friend Jeremy Hocker, Kristy Swanson becoming a horrible person, Xan discussing Titanic with Billy Zane and David Warner on Gold Standard, and more!
