Miracle Mile (1988)

Sit back, relax, and find love at the La Brea Tar Pits for Miracle Mile, a 1988 film written and, after being passed around Hollywood for a decade, also directed by Steve De Jarnatt.

In this episode of the Nuclear Movie Club, NukeTalk cohosts Rebecka Green and Scott Strgacich discuss Miracle Mile‘s tumultuous pre-production history, the film’s startling tonal shifts, whether a nuclear movie can—or should—have a happy ending, and how Anthony Edwards’ character is an all-time “simp” in cinema.

PS: If the start of this episode’s audio sounds a bit different to you, one of the microphones jumped around during recording. After the first question, the audio clears up. Thanks for understanding.
