#180 - Dark City: Director's Cut (1998)

Published: June 11, 2023, 5:24 a.m.

Down to Watch is a 90s throwback podcast this week with the cult classic Dark City! Dan and Raul meet a collection of young Kiefers' and Connellys' darting around dark alleys in what looks at first to be an amnesia-based whodunit noir but quickly reveals the sci-fi mind trip it was hiding under its hat like a translucent alien bug. The themes of individualism and free will aren't the only things this movie has in common with The Matrix, and the guys discuss how the two films share sets, storylines, and more. So does the indie look allow this fan favorite to remain evergreen, or do the dated effects and odd acting choices fail to hold up to our memories? Only one way to find out, and it's not a needle to the dome!
