Ep 294: "The Hitcher" Revisited

"My mother told me never to do this." When are we going to listen to our moms, people? The 1986 cult classic, The Hitcher, not only put the fear of hitchhikers in us, but also the fear of cops, German Shepherds, and even french fries. Rutger Hauer and C. Thomas Howell share the front seat of this dark thrillride with more than one gross-out moment. But now, decades of defeated horror villains later, what's left to be afraid of? Is there any suspense to be had when you can just drive away? And are the cops in this movie more vicious than the hitchhiker? The Old Roommates thumb through it all with their middle-aged lens on high alert. Join them for a ... side-splitting conversation.
