Crash (1996) - After Hours Cinema

About this episode

The episode discusses the controversial film 'Crash' by David Cronenberg, exploring its themes and the hosts' reactions to it.

Tonight, on After Hours Cinema: From the desk of Pete: "Pete has gained a reputation for enjoying films of...um..well...a certain quality. He loves to test his co-hosts with movies filled with blood, beasts and a bounty of boobs but ever since AHCRAP officially hit the airwaves, Anna has slam dunked on Pete picks. This week, Anna not only doubles down on the perverted-ness, but also has the audacity to give him a 'People's Elbow' with legendary director David Cronenberg. 1996's Crash is quite literally like watching an automobile accident; you can't look away, you hope everything turns out ok and when it doesn't, you feel bad about watching. The conversation we have is wild and hilarious with a few stingers that certainly turn into a cross-show running gag."
