Highbrow Lowbrow: After Hours vs Crank

In the latest episode of Highbrow Lowbrow we go down the rabbit hole and look at two movies where the leading characters are plunged into a surreal nightmarish world where the conventional rules of society no longer apply.

I talk about my favourite Martin Scorsese film After Hours, in which Griffin Dunne’s potentially romantic assignation descends into a Hellish night trapped in SoHo. My podcast co-host Dan Slattery discusses Crank, in which Jason Statham has to maintain his testosterone after being poisoned by a Beijing cocktail.

You can listen here, and let us know what you think of our choices.
