@@DavysFlicks Yeah. For no apparent reason, Stanton's character is kind of a dick. I was hoping Otto or someone would stand up to him and be like..."why do you have to be such a prick?" Regardless, a funny character and Stanton is great as that dick.
What a fascinating discussion . I started to sample the interview for 5 minutes at first but ended up watching the whole thing in one go. Well done Davy!!!
Fantastic interview Davy, for those of us of a certain age Alex via MovieDrome was our gateway to some incredible movies we could only read about and opened up the idea of films being political. Still recall the initial screening of The Big Silence and Face to Face. An absolute legend that I could listen to for hours
Yep, he's impossibly influential. And, FWIW, my family grew up with a picture of James Connolly on the mantlepiece. If there's any better Scots-Irishman (except...me), I don't know of them.
"He was a pair of glasses in that (JFK)" 🤣 thoroughly enjoying hearing you both (interviewer new to me) speak. So happy to hear Lonely are Brave get a mention. One of my favourite Westerns. Thanks for making & sharing!
Thanks! We said 30 mins before hand but after Alex said he was happy to keep going as we really got into the weeds and I knew the films he was referencing.
Alex is exactly right, Hollywood is like a cancer to filmmaking around the world. This is why our industry in the UK is in massive recession is because of Hollywood! We should have a thriving film industry like France, but because there is and was so much corruption. I'm glad they mentioned the Film Council, who were an utter disgrace. Love your films Alex and I hope this is not your last movie!
Good Work, Great Interview.... I had to break away halfway through to play my part in getting rid of the tories... otherwise i would have completed it in one go (which is unusual for me) Cheers
On bluray it is - but there's a lovely BFI DVD twofer with that and Three Businessmen that you may have more luck with, it's out of print but you may find it on Amazon, EBay etc. Commentaries on both releases from Alex, and exclusive extras.
What a scoop Davy, a really great interview and most enjoyable. Thank you to you both, I’m a fan. Let’s hope it’s not Alex’s last movie. And Davy, have you heard or do you have a copy of ‘’The King of Elflands Daughter’’? As Christopher Lee narrates/sings on the album.
I do, I have all the Lee on disc I can get - even his Chirstmas CD! Thanks very much, Alex was very gracious to come on and we had a great chat before and after. Lovely guy.
Would love to see Alex Cox direct a biopic about Eugene Debs. It's long overdue and he's the perfect guy for the job. There's a great story there that few know and it's certainly relevant to the current political climate.
He recently got a great compliment from Roger Deakins - who looks back more fondly at "Sid & Nancy" than at first. Paul Thomas Anderson's current film in production is said to be "Repo Man" influenced. Deakins said Cox's wild unpredictable approach is what's missing from current films.
Which is true, certainly of Hollywood. Deakins to reflect on such old work for him is paying a hell of a compliment there. Easily the best living cinematographer.
@@DavysFlicks That's great you got in contact with him. Worked with his cast members over my film crew years and always asked about him. Felt connected to his work even when I rented a new release VHS of Repo Man when I was 12.

Moviedrome with Alex Cox on BBC2 was a must watch for me. Thank you Alex 👍
Holy shit Davy this was a freaking nice surprise. Absolutely loved this interview 👍 👍
Thanks Si - this was a biggie for me!
@@DavysFlicks Great charm & warmth your a natural interviewer buddy 👍👍👍
"Repo Man". One of my favorite films of all-time.
"Look at those assholes, ordinary fucking people. I hate 'em."

A pleasure, thanks for staying with us!

A brilliant interview, thanks Davy for being your good self and thank you Alex for all the great work over the years.
Our pleasure!
great interview. never a dull moment.
Thanks! We said 30 mins before hand but after Alex said he was happy to keep going as we really got into the weeds and I knew the films he was referencing.
@@DavysFlicks yeah you were on the level
This was great. Thank you Davey & Alex
Pleasure my man!
Fantastic and interesting discussion. Top quality listening.
Much appreciated!
that was amazing - many thanks to both of you.x
Our pleasure!

Glad you enjoyed it! And you've more to enjoy later - both on the vid AND when the results come in!!
So nice to see the channel grow to this point. And I hope he's only the first of many great guests.
Thanks so much - here's hoping!
Excellent interview -well informed and great responses from Alex. Like so many I too was raised in the Cox film school Moviedrome in the early 90s
Thanks very much, was a pleasure. We only planned 30mins but when movie geeks get going...
So many boxes ticked!!! Moviedrome, Joe Strummer, Dostoyevsky, Spaghetti Westerns and the demise of the f**king Tories ✔✔✔✔
A pleasure to do so...especially rejoicing in the departure of the Tories!
@philipbolton7265 hear hear! Dancing my way to the polling station smiling after this opener!
Exquisite interview. Mr Cox is such a great interviewee and Mr Gallagher is a wonderful interviewer. Two thumbs up from me 👍👍
PLEASE CONSIDER SUBBING. *MONACLE*
I love Alex, his films are a touchstone for my generation.
I still want to watch Highway Patrolman - seems unfindable in the UK
On bluray it is - but there's a lovely BFI DVD twofer with that and Three Businessmen that you may have more luck with, it's out of print but you may find it on Amazon, EBay etc. Commentaries on both releases from Alex, and exclusive extras.
This is great - had never come across the channel until this. And the political stuff at the beginning is spot on.
Thanks very much! Welcome!
Best of luck on the project Alex. It better not be your last movie.

@@DavysFlicks I should have known you have it all. I’m also pleased you do.

Eugene Debs could sure write, @jadsongaylor2232.
It'd be great. Debs, like many, has been wiped from the history books by those who wouldn't want people reading Howard Zinn.
@@DavysFlicks You're well informed, Davey.
Well done
