See
Hear is ready to start the new year with a musical sci-fi road film….but
nothing like Hope / Crosby / Lamour films.
Bernard,
Tim and Maurice are once again joined by Mike White of The Projection Booth to
talk about Cory Mcabee’s feature film debut from 2001, The American Astronaut.
It’s all too easy to describe this film as a mashup of styles (usually starting
with “David Lynch meets….”). The truth is Cory Mcabee has come up with
something unique while acknowledging films he obviously loves. The narrative
covers Sam Curtis – delivery man for hire who has to make a series of trades
before he can collect a reward. All the while he has a nemesis chasing him
around the universe waiting to forgive him…so he can kill him….. and people
burst into song. Sounds straightforward? It ain’t, and yet it is. The story is
very accessible, but the devil is in the details.
The
crew had a fun time with this film and we thank Mike requesting it be covered
and joining us to discuss it.
