Thematic Content is a series about the themes that define film history—across eras, genres, and filmmakers—even mediums.
Episode #02 continues this inaugural season's exploration of a "Los Angeles Horror of Manners" with a vivid look at polarizing 80s neo-noir, 8 MILLION WAYS TO DIE, starring Jeff Bridges and Andy Garcia. Arguing in favor of the film’s many virtues, along with host Jim Penola, is esteemed guest, Philip Gawthorne – a prolific screenwriter (Underwater, Modern Life Is Rubbish), podcaster (Die Hard on a Blank), and all-around cinephile.
Throughout the episode, Jim and Phil investigate the film's portrayal of permissible conduct in a world of crime, the way our mistakes inform that lifestyle, and the iterative nature of self-actualization.
