For this Friday Movie Night, first up is To Live and Die in L.A. (1985), concerning a cop who goes on a rampage after revenge after a criminal kills his partner. But what if, like, the cop was also bad? Whoa. This is one of the best-regarded films of director William Friedkin (The French Connection, The Exorcist, Sorcerer), and a features a highly-acclaimed turn from Willem Dafoe, so let’s check it out. After that, since we got Bonged last Friday, this time, we’re gonna get Parked, with the latest Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, The Handmaiden) film, Decision to Leave (2022). What happens when a man investigates a murder and starts woogin’ for the murderer? Sounds like Korean Basic Instinct to me, but hey, it’s received rave reviews everywhere, and has a very high Letterboxd score, so we’re watching it.

We’ll start at 9PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies

Be there, comrades!
