If there ever were a film that represents the punk movement of the 1980's it is Alex Cox's Repo Man (1984)! It is irreverent, it is anti-establishment, and it is really weird! Otto (Emilio Estevez) a young punk music fan falls into the tense life a car repossessor. When a mysterious 1964 Chevy Malibu comes up with a large reward, Otto is drawn into a world full of conspiracies, men in black, aliens and an array of crazy characters. Repo Man is glorious chaos captured on film. It co-stars Harry Dean Stanton, Tracey Walter, Olivia Barash and Sy Richardson.

It's more 1980s; it's more sci-fi, but with some punk rockers, a latino militant rebel group, Harry Dean Stanton, and lots of generic groceries! Yup, it's time for Lee and Daniel to check out Alex Cox's Repo Man from 1984. Lee starts off fairly intoxicated and just gets worse, but the conversation is as fun as hell. Listener comments and what the hosts have listened to are also covered.

Harry Dean Stanton has nearly 200 imdb credits to his name, stretching all the way back to 1954. He's given countless amazing performances and worked with everyone, from Alfred Hitchcock to Joss Whedon, but he's never won an award that's worth a damn. Vidiots aims to fix this, by awarding him with the first ever Harry Dean Stanton Award, on October 23rd, in L.A. In preparation, we're going to dedicate several episodes over the next two months to the varied and impressive filmography of one of Hollywood's most enduring and endearing fixtures, Mr. Harry Dean Stanton! First up, two from 1984: Wim Wender's PARIS, TEXAS and Alex Cox's REPO MAN. Vidiots Executive Director Maggie Mackay joins us to discuss these two incredible films and give the lowdown on the upcoming #HDSAward tribute ceremony. Subscribe on iTunes!
