This week on Filmsack, we get punk’d into doing some REPO, MAN not cool… not cool at all… here, have some white labeled beer for your floor… now pardon us as we slam dance our way to the want ads of movies over on Netflix because we WANT nah need. a Sci-Fi/Action film from 1984 discussing the hot topics of the day such as consumerism, scientology, drugs, rebellion, crime, drugs, conspiracies and don’t forget the drugged up aliens in the trunk!! Also, Don’t do drugs.

Anywho, a lot of people don’t realize what’s really going on. They see life as a bunch of unconnected incidents and things. Like Otto parts… Hey, I see what you did there. I don’t like it… but I see it. People don’t understand there’s this, like, lattice of coincidence lying over everything. Like thinking about a plate of shrimp and then a chevy malibu shows up with a trunk full of radioactive alien sausages and then you fly off into space.  Why yes… yes I did eat a lot of acid, back in the hippie days? Spoiler!

C’mon Randy… let’s go do crimes… like get sushi and not pay… oh..  a plate of shrimp. What was I saying?

BRIEF

“Repo Man” follows the story of Otto (Emilio Estevez), a disaffected punk rocker who reluctantly takes a job with a seasoned repossession agent, Bud (Harry Dean Stanton). As Otto gets deeper into the world of repossession, he discovers a web of intrigue involving a mysterious Chevy Malibu that everyone from government agents to UFO enthusiasts wants to get their hands on. The film is a satirical take on consumerism, pop culture, and the punk scene of the 1980s.

• Miller : A lot o’ people don’t realize what’s really going on. They view life as a bunch o’ unconnected incidents ‘n things.

Suddenly someone’ll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o’ shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin’ for one, either. It’s all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
