In this episode, we kick off the new year with a series of freestyle picks. We still need a bit of time to chart our course without Michael on board and so we’ve decided to hit some films we have wanted to discuss but have never quite had the chance to place them in any prior topics. First up, Jason takes us back to the 80s for Steve De Jarnatt’s apocalyptic Miracle Mile from 1988. Dustin finds himself impressed with the level of charisma spread out across each performance in the film. Jason takes some time to highlight and detail the many wonderful character actors present among the cast. Before all that, we’ve got a whirlwind round up of Vestron’s Silent Night, Deadly Night boxset. And so much more!
