A podcast about connections - in film and in life.

Role Credits is a show about making connections in film. Erin & Mandy of Armbar Studios choose a subject - actor, crew member, grand concept - and follow a selection of films involving said subject. Along the way they hope to entertain and shine a light on the historical context behind the films they cover and what it means to the subject of each "arc", as well as review the movies as they come.

Joel Schumacher, Part 3: Falling Down (1993)

08-25-2024

What do Governor Tim Walz, Sir Mix-A-Lot, and Electric Six have in common? The answer may surprise you! Our Joel Schumacher arc continues as we dissect his oft-misunderstood thriller classic Falling Down, a story of two disillusioned men and one hot day. We break down the rumors surrounding the picture's production and the two cultural events that perfectly date the movie, have a chat about how critics incorrectly saw William Foster as the hero or as someone to root for, and affirm that this movie truly understood the 90s in ways many other movies didn't by virtue of daring to be brown, brown, brown. It's a shockingly-salient social commentary that risks its message being lost by people who don't want to hear it. | Intro & Outro Music - "Wardrobe MalfunKtion" produced by Danya Vodovoz - https://danyavodovoz.bandcamp.com/track/wardrobe-malfunktion - Royalty-Free Music.
