Welcome to Highbrow Lowbrow. The show where our podcast hosts Steve Powell and Dan Slattery pit high art against low culture.
In this episode, we go down the rabbit hole and examine high-stress/high-octane movies set over the course of twenty-four hours. Steve examines Martin Scorsese's After Hours, the film in which Griffin Dunne's potential one-night stand turns into one night in Hell. And asks the question - is this the most underrated Scorsese film?
Dan analyses Crank, in which Jason Statham keeps the British end up (and his testosterone) on the streets of LA after being poisoned by a Beijing cocktail. Is it a perfect recipe of action and comedy?
As always, dear listener, the final decision is up to you.
Beware, spoilers ahead. Enjoy the show....
