Beverly Hills. Century City. Everything's so nice and pretty, but the ever acute Alex Cox turns his lens to the gritty underbelly of LA's punk scene. Special guest Dawn Garcia takes us on a tour of California counter-culture at the end of the century.
Which is a more quintessential LA flick: Keanu Reeve's Speed or Emlio Estevez's Repo Man? Has Harry Dean Stanton been abducted by aliens? Will we all get vaporized by the neutron bomb?
You can stream Repo Man on Amazon Video. And you can watch next episode's selection, Seven Samurai, on Kanopy. Go get your free library card and dry your FilmStruck tears.
Make sure to check out Erin Larson's Letterboxd page cataloging all of our votes throughout the history of Better Than Speed.
Good night, and good luck.
