Episode 101: Kill List + Hit List
Description
The past is gone. The future is not yet here. There is only ever this moment. We're all about lists this week, as James T Williams drops in to discuss Kill List (2011), directed by Ben Wheatley and Hit List (1989), directed by William Lustig. We dive deep into the exciting statement on horrific cinema psychedelia that was Wheatley's debut feature, and contrast it with Lustig's far more conventional crime procedural - which was not without existential problems of its own.
We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for Kill List by skipping ahead to the 1:18:37 mark, and for Hit List by skipping ahead to 2:12:07 .
