Movie Meltdown - Episode 182
A year in the making... we present you - the Paris, Texas episode!
With a “live” intro from the Kentucky Theater during Harry Dean
Stanton Fest... we feature our interview with
Hunter Carson
co-star of this week's movie. We sit down and talk with Hunter
about the very first time he met Harry Dean Stanton. Plus playing
the original Bud Bundy! All that plus weird Facebook connections
and the magic of Harry Dean Stanton, before we roll into our full
group discussion of our Sofa Theater feature: "Paris, Texas".
Directed by Wim Wenders and written by Sam Shepard (with Kit
Carson), this movie is considered a classic by many. But how will
it stand up when the Meltdown Gang revisits it??
And as our show represents the diversity of life on Earth, we also
discuss... absurdist tick, Alexander Payne, being fascinated with
the boom guy, an experienced character actor in a pivotal role,
couples trying to set each other on fire, going down in a hail of
bullets for The Kentucky, Peter Sellers, road movies, the Voyager
gold record, True West, parental selfishness, Edvard Munch’s Home
Alone, Mr. North, Lost in Translation, working with Wim, a German
Rolling Stone, conversations on acting, Wings of Desire, what a
beautiful woman Klaus Kinski would have been, charades is a game,
Dean Stockwell is David Bowie, fairy tale theater, working with
everybody from Alfred Hitchcock to David Lynch, 180 IMDB credits,
the madman on the bridge, selling a lemon and a lime, Wise Blood,
pouring water on your head, and introducing...
Radical.
“You are so angry with Sam Shepard.”
