Doug Liman's Go (1999)

This week, we revisit an underseen/little-discussed comedy from 1999, Doug Liman's Go. In the 1990s cinema was overwhelmed by the influence, financial, and critical success of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction; any number of copycats and knock-offs would flood theaters. Probably, the very best, would be Liman's three-story, intersecting narrative of young adults, struggling with financial problems, bad choices, casual drug use and sales, and (comid) violence. As always, your WatchThis hosts springboard from Liman's film into a dialogue regarding our memories of the 1990s, the evolution of narrative style, the power and influence of pop-art, and the slow move into the 2000s. It's a fun talk regarding a film that deserves more attention. Take a listen as we reflect on this exciting, inventive, and fun postcard from 1999. With an early 90s "who's who" cast, including: Katie Holmes, Timothy Olyphant, Scott Wolf, Jay Mohr, William Fichtner, Melissa McCarthy (very early), Desmond Askew, Taye Diggs, and (a wonderful ) Sarah Polley.
