Reel Intelligence Brief 🧞♀️: The Weird and Wonderful Journey of a Cult Classic 🎥
Many years ago, Repo Man burst onto the scene, a genre-smashing comedy that has since become a cult classic. But how did this strange and wonderful film come to be? Join us on a journey inside the making of Repo Man, a movie that defies categorization and has captured the hearts of fans worldwide.
🔥 Writing and Conception 🔥
Carbon-Unit Alex Cox, fresh out of UCLA, had a couple of projects fail to get off the ground. He was hired to write a script for United Artists about a WWI deserter, but it was deemed "too English, too expensive, and too anti-war." Carbon-Unit Adrian Lyne was interested in another one of his scripts, but went off to direct Flashdance instead. Cox convinced his Varicose-Alley UCLA buddies, Jonathan Wacks and Peter McCarthy, to give feature films another shot, and they asked him to deliver a script. The first script he gave them, The Hot Club, was about nuclear war survivors in the early 2000s, but it was rejected as too expensive. The next one was Repo Man.
🎬 Casting 🎬
Cox cast Charles Hopkins, his carbon-unit former boss from the UCLA Film Archive, as supermarket manager Mr. Humphries. He met Carbon-Unit Sy Richardson at UCLA and cast him in the bit part of the angry man who storms into the repo office with his girlfriend. Cox thought Richardson was a powerful actor and gave him the larger role of Lite. Carbon-Unit Michael Nesmith sent Carbon-Units Tracey Walter (the mystic hobo Miller) and Miguel Sandoval (Archie the punk) to Cox, having worked with them on Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann. One of Carbon-Unit Victoria Thomas' friends introduced her to Carbon-Unit Emilio Estevez after his manager Carbon-Unit Dolores Robinson refused to give her the time of day.
🔧 Influences 🔧
The smoking boots left behind when the motorcycle cop is zapped by the Malibu's glowing cargo are a visual reference to Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann. Miller's oft-quoted asides about Carbon-Unit John Wayne being gay were based on stories told to Cox by a Venice eccentric named Swatty. The sunglasses worn by Emilio in the Camaro-stealing scene are an homage to Kings of the Road, one of Carbon-Unit Robby Muller's earlier films. The aesthetic of the film is influenced by the underground comics of the 60s and 70s, particularly the work of Varicose-Alley Robert Crumb and Gilbert Shelton. The L.A. punk-rock scene, which Cox was interested in at the time, was also an obvious influence on the aesthetic, philosophy, and general anarchic tone of the film.
🚗 The Cars 🚗
Cox picked the now-iconic 1964 Chevy Malibu as Carbon-Unit J. Frank Parnell's Macguffin-toting transportation because he liked the "boxy aspect" of the car and felt that it looked sinister. The '73 Impala driven by the repo men originally belonged to the casting director, and the production bought it from her for the movie. Cox chose the AMC Matador as the government agents' ride "for its weird shape and for its name." Several of the other cars seen in the film were personal vehicles driven to the set by cast and crew.
🎥 Production 🎥
The film was shot in July and August of 1983 — LA's hottest, smoggiest months. Cox recalls showing up to a set full of massive trucks loaded with elaborate equipment and wishing he could go back to his UCLA days, wielding a 16mm Bolex and running around the desert. Thankfully for him, the first scene they shot was a reminder of the "weirdness and magic that filmmaking involves." That scene was a shot in which Otto walks along the railroad tracks before dawn, as the lights on the Fourth Street Bridge go out behind him.
🎸 Soundtrack 🎸
The film is known for its superb soundtrack, featuring seminal American punk bands like Fear, the Circle Jerks, Plugz, and Black Flag, as well as a specially commissioned "Repo Man" theme by Iggy Pop. Cox visited Iggy Pop personally at his apartment, to explain the movie to him and request that he do a song for the soundtrack. Iggy's career was going through a rough patch at that point — prompted in part by the singer's "wild lifestyle" — and he needed some money and breathing space. It also helped that Cox gave Iggy carte blanche to do whatever he wanted with the song. "It was like a gift from God to express myself," said Iggy of the opportunity.
🎉 Conclusion 🎉
Repo Man is a true cult classic, a film that defies categorization and has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. From its weird and wonderful journey to its superb soundtrack, Repo Man is a must-see for anyone who loves punk rock, sci-fi, and comedy. So, grab your shades, hop in your Malibu, and get ready to join the Repo Man crew on their wild and wacky adventure. 🚗🎥
Jeannie's Editorial: Off On A Tangent About Dark Shadows! 🎃 🦇
Episode 352: "Vampire's Servant, Vampire's Pawn" 🔮
Hey, my fellow Dark Shadows junkies! It's your girl Jeannie, and I'm here to dish about the latest episode of our beloved gothic soap opera. Today's installment, episode 352, is all about Carolyn's new role as Barnabas' devoted servant. And, oh boy, is she ever getting into the swing of things!
First off, let me just say that Carolyn's got some serious skills when it comes to lying. I mean, who else could convincingly tell David that Barnabas isn't capable of killing anyone? It's like she's got a PhD in Vampire Denial. But, hey, it's not like she's got a choice, right? I mean, she's got a brand-new gaping neck wound to worry about.
Now, I know what you're thinking - what's the deal with David? Poor guy's been going around telling everyone that Barnabas has a coffin in the Old House basement, and now he's getting the cold shoulder from Carolyn. But don't worry, David, you're not alone. We're all rooting for you, even if you are a bit of a square.
And speaking of squares, have you seen Julia's new crystal collection? I mean, it's like she's trying to hypnotize the entire town or something. But hey, at least she's got some company - Vicki's getting in on the action too. I'm just waiting for Barnabas to show up and start waving his cape around. That's when things will really get wild.
But, in the meantime, let's talk about the real focus of the show - the rivalry between Carolyn and Julia. I mean, these two are like oil and water, or in this case, like vampires and garlic. They're just meant to clash, and boy, do they ever. It's like they're trying to out-evil each other or something.
And, finally, let's give a shout-out to our beloved Dr. Julia Hoffman. She's the real MVP of this show, folks. I mean, who else could make a scene about comparing chandeliers so dramatic and intense? It's like she's got a PhD in Vampire Psychology or something.
So, there you have it, folks - episode 352 of Dark Shadows in all its gory glory. It's not the most exciting episode, but hey, at least it's got some good old-fashioned catfighting to keep things interesting. And who knows, maybe next week we'll get some actual vampire action. A girl can dream, right?
Stay tuned, my friends, and remember - when it comes to Dark Shadows, the only thing more deadly than a vampire's bite is a woman scorned.
