Episode notes

A lot has changed since the release of Joel Schumacher's Falling Down in 1993. And while the sociopolitical atmosphere may be different than it was 28 years ago, good filmmaking remains a constant across the decades. So, how does this tense, LA-based drama hold up in an era that is in many ways much different from the one in which it was created?

On our latest deep-dive episode, we pick Falling Down apart and discuss what works about this film, what doesn't, and how the film has aged since it was originally released.
