FFF Ep. #85 - The 3 R's of the 80's: Repo Man, River's Edge, Robocop

Those who ignore film history are doomed to the purgatory of a soulless, CGI-laden Marvel-verse. This week on Fabulous Film & Friends Gino and his crack team of cinéastes head back to the future for a deep dive into three unique offerings from the 1980’s: Alex Cox’s sardonic Repo Man (1984); River’s Edge (1986), Tim Hunter’s grim tale of alienation and moral vacancy; and Paul Verhoeven’s wickedly satirical Robocop (1987). Apart from the three R’s connection is there a common thread that holds these flicks together? Do they ably capture that decade’s zeitgeist without succumbing to triviality? Who would win in a fight between Emilio Estevez, Keanu Reeves, and Peter Weller? Tune in to the latest episode of FFF and find out.
