Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Psycho Drive-In podcast, where hosts Paul McCoy and John Meredith dive into a vibrant discussion about the 2020 film, Dinner in America. Directed by Adam Riemeyer, this movie has evolved from a box office bust into an unexpected cult classic. With its punk rock aesthetic and compelling story of misfits connecting, the film strikes a unique balance between edgy and heartwarming.
Paul and John explore the film's themes, dissecting characters like Simon, the renegade punk rocker, and Patty, his enthusiastic "music girlfriend," as they journey through America's decaying Midwestern suburbs. Despite the movie’s rough start, it emerges as an unconventional love story that resonates deeply with its audience.
The hosts also reflect on other indie cinema gems, including Todd Solondz's Welcome to the Dollhouse and the rebellious SFW, drawing parallels between these films and the cultural critiques they embody.
In a segment called "What Else You Got?", Paul and John share their current media picks, from Quentin Tarantino’s cinematic insights in Cinema Speculation to thought-provoking TV series like Severance and Daredevil.
Join us for a conversation that celebrates the quirky, the challenging, and the overlooked gems of indie film and pop culture.
