Nightcrawler (2014) | Spending Too Much Time with Dealers


Listen Later

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay have their police scanners on so they can be on the scene to talk 'Nightcrawler.' Andy finds the first lead by recalling a time when he was too chummy with a dealer, which similar to the characters in the movie, resulted in finding himself in increasingly more dangerous situations. Then the fellas discuss one of the best movies of the 2010s. A film featuring a transformative performance from Jake Gyllenhaal, who trades in his Hollywood charm for sociopathic smarm as Lou Bloom. It was a turn that made the mainstream take notice, even though it somehow went unrecognized at the Oscars. If Gyllenhaal was the lead actor, then Los Angeles may be the real star, as the gorgeous cinematography is a love letter to the City of Angels. The gripping crime thriller also features the late great Bill Paxton in sleazy god mode. After listening to this episode you may need a bandaid, but remember, "If it bleeds, it leads."
