In this episode, I talk with film journalist and host of the podcast ‘McFly’s Movie House’ Marta Djordjevic about four iconic movies involving lovers on the run: Bonnie and Clyde, Badlands, Wild at Heart, and True Romance. What makes these movies similar and what sets them apart? How do each accomplish telling a story of doomed (or redemptive) love? What do themes of crime, passion, anti-authority, and self-revelation reveal about these kinds of stories and why we return to them again and again?
