SAHARA (w/ Frank and Geoff)


Listen Later

“Kill the goat! Oil the women!” Our HOT January spills over into February where we…don’t have a theme. "F#@k It February"?

Today we cover Golan’s dream swing at the desert epic with 1984’s SAHARA. A film that looks great but maybe suffered from “too many cooks” syndrome. Starring young starlet (and infamously exploited) Brooke Shields and a handful of white actors in brownface.

We discuss: Jonathan Rhys Davies remains typecast, actors getting buried in the sand while covered in REAL beetles and scorpions (Jackass style), Brooke Shields’ Mom being EXTREMELY hands-on with her special Producer title, wild tone shifts, elastic geography and what speed should the roaring ’20s be represented at?

Plus, Geoff reveals the SHOCKING secret behind the inspiration behind one of his band's names.
