Falling Down (1993)
Show notes
"I am not a vigilante. I am just trying to get home to my little girl's birthday party and if everyone will just stay out of my way, nobody will get hurt." This week we revisit Joel Schumacher's 1993 dark comedy / thriller Falling Down and find out whether it has gotten more or less controversial over the years. Is D-Fens a relatable anti-hero or just an entitled asshole? Is Prendergast's character arc satisfying or weirdly regressive? Does this movie feel out of place in Joel Schumacher's filmography? Should fast food restaurants just serve breakfast all day long? Go past the point of no return... this week's episode of Film Junk is not economically viable.
