On this episode, we’re going to start a miniseries on the 1980s films from director Susan Seidelman.

Crimewave
On this episode, we’re going to tackle a movie from the early 1980s that, if made today with the same pedigree, would cause movie geeks and cinephiles to lose their freaking minds over.

We’re talking about the 1986 Sam Raimi/Coen Brothers collaboration, Crimewave.
