One of my favorite movies.

I love how this movie feels like every actor went with a first and only take. Also the most dingy, bizarre, and sweat-heavy I've ever seen LA depicted on film. And somehow... It was GREAT!

I discovered this movie in the 90s because of a song by the Aquabats! I kinda hoped the pod would open with the Mr Humphreys assault in homage
