As a special endcap to this season of Movie Mindset, Will, Hesse & Chris interview the director of Repo Man, Sid & Nancy, Walker and many others, the great Alex Cox. They discuss the Los Angeles of Repo Man, his visual style, his approach to making “political” films, and various genres, writers, and actors he admires. And of course, we get to the bottom of who killed JFK.

Alex is currently crowdfunding what may be his last movie, “My Last Movie” on Kickstarter. Please consider kicking in and becoming one of the dead souls:

This is so goddamn sweet. Thank you thank you THANK UUUU

Andy Cameron

Few movies have affected me as much as Walker

Carter

Did I hear a cushbomb chuckle in the beginning?

Isaac Suárez

Great interview. Chapo kills it, yet again. Also, I love the idea of Peckinpah sending Nixon anti war telegrams. Beautiful. I was not familiar with Alex Cox before this series, but I definitely have to watch his movies after this- and check out his book. What a refreshingly awesome director interview.

Simon

I love how Cox represents punks. Understanding of what makes it interesting with absolutely no romanticism. I thought that really came across in Repo Man and Sid and Nancy.

chapotraphouse

I'd really call WALKER a must-see for Chapo fans. If you listen to this show you would almost certainly enjoy that movie.

Thom

god damn that ruled

Hot Rod

Walker rules. Featuring Joe Strummer as a gunslinger, baking in the sun

Neil Evans

Literally watched Walker for the first time last night. Repo man has been my favorite movie since I saw it 15 years ago. Incredible timing

Neil Evans

Hesse says there’s a through line but fumbled it, the through line is sarcasm

CHRIS: CRITERION HAS A VERY POPULAR RELEASE OF WALKER

chapotraphouse

I've ordered it! I just had needed a way to see it between when our episode dropped and when Cox's people got him in touch and we got the recording scheduled like 72 hours later and for THAT there's no (official) streaming solution.

Gabe

I feel like that was Chris, but I want to be wrong...

Chris T

Dead Souls is amazing!

Chris T

I just ordered it too! Will be my first viewing

Gabe

This guy rocks

J.W.

So cool. Cox rules.

DP

Wow Alex Cox rules that was fantastic

will michel

this was awesome, thank you movie mindset

Patrick Schneider

Think Cox means the Georgian film Repentance (87) when he is talking about the movie "about Stalin," not "Remembrance"

Jeremy Farmer

Alex was my screenwriting professor in college, he fuckin rules! Coolest dude, so open and free with his knowledge and time.

bruce

Possible coolest guy ever??

Cox mentioned Lyndsay Anderson as an inspiration and it reminded me of Anderson's 1968 film 'If...' staring a young Malcolm McDowell, it's a pretty interesting film and worth watching to get a Rosetta stone of the elite boarding schools that produce people like David Cameron and Boris Johnson.

Marcus Wrightus

Otto's tighty whities in Repo Man were part of my sexual awakening

MKatieUltra

He's so warm and funny, just delightful

philfinn

I'm old enough to remember Moviedrome. Would love a Lindsay Anderson double on MM one day, If/O Lucky Man.

d.a.walker

Very nice to have my Warren Oates opinion validated, and by such a high authority!

Eon Gattignolo

scagged-out, scabby assed sid and nancy, snogging in a filthy alley while some tenement dweller throws garbage on them from the kitchen window is one of the most cinematically beautiful kisses ever put to film.

Eon Gattignolo

masters who are generous with their expertise and encouraging mastery in others are true saints and servants of humanity

Tim U.

I thought Straight to Hell was unwatchable when I was 19, but as maybe the world's only Repo Chick liker I want to give it another shot. Killer soundtrack album, though. Pogues doing the Fantasia demon song > *

The Children of Jack Acid

Movies like Trainspotting and the under-appreciated Spun prove that there is just no way to depict drug addiction that doesn't look romantic (even when a guy has to search through his own shit in a toilet to find a suppository). But Alex Cox's Sid & Nancy leans into that romanticism hard from both sides, the latter half of the movie basically taking place in one squalid room as two sick people love each other through the medium of heroin. It's beautiful in its disgustingness. I watched the movie as a kid in the early 90s and TOTALLY wound up becoming a drug addict. I would sue Alex if the film wasn't just so good. And Repo Man, too!

hamburglar

Big props, hope you pull more interviews like this

Colin C.

What an amazing guest. Sharp, funny, and he even did some homework by listening to the previous ep. Seems like an all around great guy. Did you guys ever imagine you’d have a chance to talk to a favorite director like this? Must be really rewarding.

PIPPA TANDY

Can we have a Shelley Duvall Movie Mindset please?

inspectah mossadegh

Would love to see you guys review Oliver Stones "Salvador" . Think it'd be a really interesting show for the obvious historical reasons but the idea that James Woods is the lead I think would put a pretty interesting spin on the convo

I’m watching The Player (Robert Altman) and thinking “do we all owe Vincent D’Onofrio an apology?”

My wife surprised me with a movie night at a local theater where they put on el patrullero. An absolutely stunning movie that made me want to watch the rest of Cox's work.
