April Showers roll on, and this week Henrique and David are heading to Rock Island, Illinois for a rainy, emotionally charged journey into organized crime and father-son bonds. We’re diving deep into Sam Mendes’ 2002 neo-noir masterpiece Road to Perdition—a film soaked in atmosphere, grief, and some of the most stunning cinematography in modern cinema.
Set in 1930s Illinois, Road to Perdition tells the story of a mob enforcer whose son witnesses a murder, launching them on a road trip fueled by vengeance, protection, and ultimately, redemption.
Starring Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, and Tyler Hoechlin, with Oscar-winning cinematography by Conrad L. Hall, this film blends brutal violence with heartbreaking beauty—and we’re unpacking it all. 🎙️ In This Episode:
- Was this really the kind of role we’d expect from Tom Hanks?
- Why Conrad L. Hall’s cinematography makes this film unforgettable
- Paul Newman’s unforgettable performance and final feature role
- Seriously… when are they actually on the “road to Perdition”?
- Did David buy too many movies at Cinema Wasteland?
- How much cash should you really take on vacation?
- Could Hocus Pocus be a future DYEM pick?
- Henrique and David share early reactions to Death of a Unicorn
