## Resource

What does it mean to die? What does it mean to truly live… on a road trip across Spain with Terence Stamp, John Hurt, and Tim Roth in a giant white Mercedes Benz? Director Stephen Frears grabbles with these enduring questions in his sun-soaked take-down of the neo noir. Ten Years after snitching on his compatriots, a criminal in hiding is rousted from his dreamy Spanish village life by two hit men sent to exact retribution. But he seems oddly cool about it all. What gives? *Come support the podcast and get yourself or someone you love a random gift at our merch store . T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, stickers, and more!
