Episode 44: Subway (1985)

This episode is about Subway (1985). I hadn’t seen it since the early 90s and what struck me most was how completely wrong my memory of it had been. I’d remembered a tense action thriller, but what I found instead was pure 80s style — eccentric characters, great music, strange energy and a film that feels more like a long music video than a conventional story. Sometimes pure distraction is exactly what you need.
