Car RayRob Presents...

It's time for Ray's crack on SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM and he's on a slump of one, but he thinks he can get things back on track by recommending the 2017 historical drama, A TAXI DRIVER starring podcast favorite Song Kang-ho (PARASITE, JOINT SECURITY AREA)! The movie centers on Mr. Kim, a Seoul based taxi driver who lies his way into the employ of Jürgen Hinzpeter, a German journalist (played by the great Thomas Kretschmann) who has come to Korea to cover the Qwangju Uprising in 1980. When Mr. Kim doesn't fully understand the danger he finds himself in, he must forge a team with Jürgen to not only cover the horrors the government is trying to hide, but to return home to his daughter who is desperately waiting for him.  As mentioned, Rob is a big fan of Song Kang-ho and this recommendation could be a lay-up for him, but you're going to have to tune in to find out if it is!  THEME SONG: Music and Lyrics: Jeremy Catarelli INTERMISSION: Music: Jay You Voice: Jeremy Catarelli  

It's a brand-new month here at CAR RAYROB which means it's time for Rob's pick on SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM! He's on a hot streak with two films in a row that Ray has loved, and he thinks he may have another on deck by recommending Martin Scorsese's 1985 dark comedy, AFTER HOURS! This won't be an easy layup for Ray because he is very hit and miss on Martin Scorsese, but AFTER HOURS is so far outside of his bailiwick that it just might work for Ray!  AFTER HOURS stars Griffin Dunne (AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, STRAIGHT TALK) as an uptown New York yuppie who goes down to SoHo in pursuit of a girl only to find himself out of his element, in an awkward situation and desperately trying to get home! With an all-star supporting cast including Rosanna Arquette (CRASH, PULP FICTION), Linda Fiorentino (MEN IN BLACK, DOGMA), John Heard (HOME ALONE, CHILLY SCENES OF WINTER), Teri Garr (ONE FROM THE HEART, MR. MOM) and Catherine O'Hera (HOME ALONE, SCHITT'S CREEK), AFTER HOURS is a darkly comedic fever dream for anyone who feels trapped in world that's not meant for them. Will this departure from Scorsese's schtick be enough to lure Ray into his world? Or will he still feel the trappings that make Scorsese so hit or miss for him?

It's once again time for another Kid's Edition episode of SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM with our favorite in-studio guest, Mr. KittyKaiju! Ray and Rob kicked off the Summer for him by recommending 1989's BATMAN, so to up the ante, they've decided to go just two years later and show him the movie that set the tone for action films for a decade, James Cameron's 1991 sci-fi action epic TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY!  This was an absolute staple of both Ray and Rob's childhood and Rob recently showed him THE TERMINATOR just to get to this moment. So, tune in as Mr. KittyKaiju watches John and Sarah Conner as they join forces with the T-800 in an attempt to keep John out of the hands of the T-1000 and stop Skynet in its tracks to save the world! Will Mr KittyKaiju connect with this movie the way Ray and Rob did at his age?

Long time listeners know that Ray loves a good doc. Well, he also loves a good biopic, too! In the hopes of keeping his streak alive, Ray has decided to with this classic genre by recommending to Rob Andrew Dominick's (THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD) 2000 biographical drama CHOPPER! Starring Eric Bana (BLACK HAWK DOWN, HULK) as Marc "Chopper" Read, a larger-than-life Australian convict who discovers fame after writing his biography while in prison. His exploits become the thing of popular culture, but there's only one problem, can you actually trust anything he says?  Ray admits that this CHOPPER is not necessarily the type of movie he would normally enjoy, but a powerhouse performance by Eric Bana anchors this unconventionally paced biopic and makes it one of his favorites. Will Bana's performance and Andrew Dominik's directing prowess be enough to win over Rob?

Rob is kicking off August on SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM in the hopes of continuing his newfound streak with a 90s cult classic he thinks will tickle Ray's film fancy. Alexa Proyas' (THE CROW, I,ROBOT) 1998 sci-fi noir, DARK CITY! The film centers on John Murdoch (played brilliantly by Rufus Sewell), a man who wakes up in a hotel room with a dead body and no memory of how he got there, or if he perpetrated the killing. While desperately attempting to solve the mystery and clear his name, he finds himself in the crosshairs of a group of strange men who are seemingly behind a larger conspiracy that threatens to upend the world as John knows it. With a stellar supporting cast including Jennifer Connelly (REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, LABYRINTH), William Hurt (ALTERED STATES, THE BIG CHILL) and Keifer Sutherland (THE LOST BOYS, 24), DARK CITY is an underappreciated classic that felt ahead of its time. So much so, that the smash hit THE MATRIX, released the following year, has been accused of ripping it off!  Will the originality of the story and effects make this a memorable experience for Ray? Or will the films that followed make this a forgettable film in the dust bin of history?
