  • Summary

  • April is John's birthday month, and this year, we're highlighting his adolescent penchant for juvenile delinquency with a couple of cult favorites. First up is Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of S.E. Hinton's novel, Rumble Fish, starring Matt Dillon and Mickey Rourke. Conceived of as an art film for kids and an antidote to Coppola's previous Hinton adaption of The Outsiders, Rumble Fish brings together existential philosophy, German Expressionist film, and a percussion-forward score from Stewart Copeland of The Police to tell the story of Rusty James and The Motorcycle Boy. We discuss parallels with Shakespeare and Christianity, themes of freedom and time, the use of color in a mostly black and white film, and many other topics. Channel your inner street tough and punch play (right in the face) to hear all about this amazing film!
