In this episode of the show we are continuing our chats about Walter Hill in the 80s by digging into Streets of Fire. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us try to make sense of what this movie is and what it attempts to do, how it tries to function as a heightened musical set outside of time but somehow informed by western iconography and whether it all comes together in the end. We talk about Michael Paré as a miscast stoic outlaw, Willem Dafoe’s ridiculous costuming choices, the iconography and pre-comic book aesthetic doing a lot of the heavy lifting for the movie and much more!
