Degenerates Andy S and Brandon Bombay hop on their bikes to talk about a film that is emblematic of the podcast's ethos: 'Red Rocket.' Andy opens up with a story about a few friends who threw on military fatigues as a gag, and wound up being given free drinks by patriotic bar patrons. Then the guys discuss a film close to their hearts, which is centered around the ultimate portrayal of recidivism. A compelling starring role from Simon Rex is nearly overshadowed by the bevy of supporting role non-actors who helped bring grit and realism to the film. Anchored by veritas, but elevated by gorgeous shots accomplished on a minimal budget, it is one of Sean Baker's defining movies. We deliver a great episode about a wonderful movie and that ain't no lie, baby, bye bye bye.
