This week on Alcohollywood, recurring guest Derek joins us from the basement to talk Satanic panic movies with Race with the Devil! This 1975 Peter Fonda-Warren Oates road thriller follows these two easy riders along a two-lane blacktop to evil, as they (and their girlfriends) must use the incredible powers of their RV to hold off an increasingly encroaching horde of Satanists who catch them spying on their latest sacrifice.
A gonzo combination of the ‘devil’s cult’ and road movie genres of the 1970s, the film certainly elicited varying reactions from us, including: Why do our protagonists have to steal library books? Is everyone in Texas a Satanist? Why does everyone immediately let their guard down as soon as the immediate danger is over? Should there have been more snakes? Learn the answers to these questions and more in our episode, along with our custom cocktail and drinking rules!
NOTE: We didn't have time to work out the kinks of our new setup before recording this one, so this is still the same room-mic setup we've had for awhile. Stay tuned next week, though, since our sound should be totally changing!
