Contains Cinema's Greatest Scenes of Gluttony - Roadside Prophets, Pop Screen 164

Back to the '90s, and a time when a movie could just be, y'know, anything you wanted. The co-writer of Sid & Nancy, Abbe Wool, went to test this theory with this wilfully inconsequential road movie in which a member of X (John Doe) and a member of The Beastie Boys (Adam "Ad-Rock" Horowitz) set off to scatter the ashes of a friend of the former musician. It's really the excuse for an eclectic set of cameos, and we mean eclectic - everyone from David Carradine to Timothy Leary, Arlo Guthrie to Flea. But what if there was something deeply profound beneath the surface? Well, we don't quite go that far, but debuting co-host Rob Spencer from Caliber 9 From Outer Space makes a good account of this as a movie of its moment. Joining him to pick over Roadside Prophets's cameos, connections and subtexts is Graham, and their conversation is as free-ranging as the movie: Patty Hearst, cinema's greatest scenes of gluttony, the wonder of Fatma Mohamed and Neil Kinnock's election broadcasts are all under consideration.
