Episode 68: Crossroads - 1986

This week Bob had us revisit the 1986 romance / drama Crossroads. Directed by Walter Hill and written by John Fusco. Crossroads is an exemplary showcase of southern blues that would make a fantastic family film but was unfortunately hidden inside a rated R release that most fans of Ralph Macchio from The Karate Kid weren't allowed to see in theaters. This marks the last round robin style host picked episode. Starting today it will be up to you, the listener to choose from 3 films on Twitter @Moviesagainst or through email [email protected] or instagram @Moviesagainst.
