Lee and Daniel are joined this week by returning guests Wick and Robby to talk about the 1970s car chase film that defined the genre, "Vanishing Point" (1971), directed by Richard C. Sarafian. The hosts talk about its impact on chase movies, and how decidedly different it is from a lot of the ones that followed, bringing up the amazing stunt work and deeper themes it touches upon. Lee and Wick also talk about recent watches. Hitch a ride with us, we're stomping the gas pedal to the floor and heading for oblivion on our own damn terms!
