Episode 104
A rock & roll fable! This week, Peaches and Michael are ruled by the music in celebration of 1984’s STREETS OF FIRE! In addition to discussing this deliciously dystopian vision of a 50’s style future, our hosts delve into the unmitigated power of filmmaker Walter Hill for curating a cult vibe. Joining the conversation is multi-faceted artist extraordinaire Ric Ray, whose love of this movie runs so deep, he even occasionally styles himself in its image. Then, fashion icon and costume design superstar Ruby Vixen stops by to discuss this classic’s impact on a generation of queer femmes. From sledgehammer fights to Stevie Nicks, this episode has it all! Go!
