Coke Noir: 8 Million Ways to Die & 52 Pick-Up

We're kicking off month 3 of Auteur Misfires with a pair of 1986 coke-noirs from two of the most iconic directors of the 20th century. First up, it's Hal Ashby's unlikely swan song, "8 Million Ways to Die" starring Jeff Bridges, Rosanna Arquette and a ponytailed Andy Garcia in Scarface mode. After that, it's John Frankenheimer's adaptation of Elmore Leonard's "52 Pick-Up" featuring Roy Scheider, Ann-Margaret and an all-timer villain performance from John Glover . Why did Ashby's career decline so rapidly in the 80's? Was Frankenheimer one our most underrated filmmakers? What the fuck was going on in Ann-Margaret's career? Why is Roy Scheider rarely mentioned in the echelon of great 70's actors? Is this cinema's first and last snow cone showdown? Find out right now on this very scummy edition of Rotten Rewind.
