Podgodz 291: Used Cars (1980) Recorded 06 June 2018 Further thoughts on Solo   Are you ready to see Betty Thomas’s tits?   So, a personal movie for me.   Yes, the 70s were a shitty and dark time. Those dark times continued on until the 80s.   A nice cinematic opening on a used car lot as a man rolls back the odometer of a car and we meet our star, Kurt Russell.   Credits montage of shady dealings, all very well told without a word of dialogue.   The back story, the Fuchs brothers seem to hate each other, they have car dealerships across from each other.   Hello 80s racism, the sleazy Mexican car supplier that just mentions he has 254 cars available.   Other salesman doesn’t Read More →
