Episode 40: Cop Land
Manage episode 361975904 series 2813904
This week on Remainders we watch the 1997 drama Cop Land. James Mangold’s urban western was Sylvester Stallone’s return to drama after a slew of over-the-top 90s action bombs. Giving one of the best performances of his career, it helps that the rest of the cast is a list of all-time greats, including De Niro, Keitel, and Liotta. A tale of justice and grit, this sleeper hit is almost a hidden gem these days and should not be missed. Don’t blowwww it!
Other topics include Mangold’s upcoming Indiana Jones movie, thoughts on the new Cage flick Renfield, theater experiences good and bad, Joe Dante favorites and Key and Peele’s incredible Gremlins 2 sketch, Dee Dee Ramone’s novel, the new Evil Dead, South Park and Spielberg, and the final push to get Warren Zevon inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
