The Senate’s 4th annual Hot, Sweaty & Weird summer series continues with a countercultural hit, ready-made to feed your hunger for cult sci-fi and oddball satire! 

It's a film that combines punk rock attitude, car repossession, and extraterrestrial activity in the trunk of a 1964 Chevy Malibu.

Which means it can only be Alex Cox’s incomparable black comedy Repo Man, starring Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton. Released without much hope or support by Universal, this critically lauded film was initially little seen. But thanks to an eccentric tone and killer soundtrack, it soon garnered a devoted fan base through video rentals and television reruns. 

 

So cut off your sleeves, tell that crappy job to shove it, and get to the Senate for this quirky and pulpy takedown of the Reagan era through the lens of Atomic Age science fiction!
