Straight to Hell

“On a Criterion kick and having fun with Alex Cox's filmography! If you like the stylings of Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez as well as Repo Man, this is a batty good time! Three beloved rock stars, Courtney Love and late artists Joe Strummer (The Clash) and Shane MacGowan (The Pogues), put on killer performances. Even Jim Jarmusch gets in on the fun!”

“Like anyone into movies in the late 1980s and early 1990s, I've seen OG cult classic Repo Man multiple times. Somehow I had never heard of this bonkers spaghetti western send-up from the same director—in which a group of inept criminals hides out in a desert town that turns out to be full of coffee-obsessed cowboy killers—until @Spines, Flicks, and Wax rec'd it today (thank you to her), and I literally fired it up on the Criterion Channel two minutes later. The cast of this thing includes, I kid you not, Joe Strummer, Courtney Love, Shane McGowan from the Pogues, Jim Jarmusch, Dennis Hopper, Grace Jones, and Elvis Costello.”

“So much better than it seems from the outside”
