425: The Chase [1994] Movie Discussion

The A-plot of The Chase is a weird romance happening during a car chase between a criminal and his hostage. The B-plot is a chaotically comical satire of the absurd world of television news starring various rock stars and porn actors. Guess which plot we liked best. We can’t help but keep taking weird side roads in our journey with The Chase and talk about so many other films, but we do get to discuss some of the important questions: how do we keep watching films with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers in, how do we stop looking at Henry Rollins’ neck and why is dancing to the Village People always our favourate thing in a movie?
