The Cult Section

Repo Man (1984)

Welcome to The Cult Section (with Seth & Seth)! Join the Seths and producer Sonic this week on our premiere episode, focusing on one of our favorite cult films of all time, Alex Cox's 1984 cinematic debut "Repo Man," starring Emilio Estevez (in his breakout role) and Harry Dean Stanton. This totemic anthem to the dark underbelly of the American Dream, set against the seemingly contemporarily-apocalyptic backdrop of Cold War-era Los Angeles, the film is chock full of quotable lines, abstract political commentary, conspiracies, obtuse federal agencies, unique characters, and doses of masculinity both toxic and touching. In each installment, we'll be examining a film we love, one we've stumbled across, or one recommended by an occasional guest - or one recommended by YOU, the viewer / listener! So come on in to our very own Video Store of the Mind, and and help us build out its most glorious shelf, The Cult Section!
