Southland Tales (2006)

We're finally talking about Southland Tales, the first-ever Dwayne
Johnson (not "The Rock") movie, and we're joined by Resident
Historian Mike Manzi! After trying to parse the dense and
complicated narrative in this movie, we talk about the critical
reaction to the film as well as why this doesn't feel like a
bomb/spectacular failure. Mike talks about the graphic novel
accompaniments for this movie, we all explore the prescience of
this movie, and Joey shares the wild backstory of Freddie Prinze,
Jr. (and his ties to this movie). What kind of filmmaker could make
a movie like this? We discuss. We also heap praise on Sarah
Michelle Gellar and wonder: does Francis Ford Coppola love this
movie? Email us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠family@cageclub.me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our Patreon
