It’s bonus episode time.

In today’s Special Features episode Felicia is joined once again by the great Joey Gantner to discuss the world ending in the 80s, in Steve De Jarnatt’s Miracle Mile (1988).

We chat about why LA makes a great backdrop for so many memorable films, and why this story is even more relevant in today’s climate.

Send us your thoughts on the film and let us know by sending us a message on any of our social platforms or by email: seeingfacesinmovies@gmail.com
