Goin' Down the Road (#6)


Listen Later

It's time for some Maritime shine as the guys break down the classic 1970 rags-to-rags (?) story about two Nova Scotians traveling to Toronto for the promise of better work - Goin' Down the Road. How authentically Maritime is this movie? Did director Donald Shebib use authentic transients and war veterans for key scenes? Does Jayne Eastwood make a seemingly thankless role worth something just based on her facial reactions alone? Does the movie have an anti-Capitalist stance? Plus: IF ANYONE HAS THE SEQUEL, PLEASE TELL US.

 

Next week: the guys discuss #5 on the list - Leolo.
