#38: RUNAWAY TRAIN (1985)


Listen Later

This week on the show we were totally floored by Andrei Konchalovsky's 1985 thriller RUNAWAY TRAIN starring Jon Voight, Eric Roberts, and Rebecca De Mornay. It's the first (and possibly last) movie we've done for the show in which actors—in this case both Roberts and Voight—were actually nominated for Academy Awards for their performances. In between the white-knuckle scenes on said runaway train, which are some of the most stunningly intense we've ever seen, there's a quiet character drama happening that's well-directed and brilliantly acted. Like James said on the show, "this is highbrow shit." We did our best to dissect what makes it so great.


Of course, we also talked about the logistics of jerking off in the shower, the pains of gift wrapping, tips for good gift giving, we did some 5th grade physics re: train collisions, we talked about lava lamps and man caves and obviously, of course, Steven Seagal.
