This week, Cult Film in Review is tackling their own private film review with the Gus Van Sant indie drama, My Own Private Idaho. In this episode, the guys discuss whether a character has to be relatable and likable to be interesting to audiences. Later, Mike explains why he desperately tried to avoid this film for years. Now that Chris has forced him to watch it, does he regret waiting so long? Also, we talk about the glory days of indie filmmaking – the 90s! Where does this film stand along with later “indie darlings” like Reservoir Dogs, Clerks, and El Mariachi? Has this film managed to carve out a legacy all its own? Finally, Mike gives a little literature lesson on Shakespeare for the rest of the guys and Cody talks about his love of real stories “ripped from the headlines.”
