From the outskirts of Tokyo to the slums of early 80's Madrid, there is no existential horror like just being TEEN. Bob McCully drops in to discuss Typhoon Club (1985) directed by Shinji Sōmai and Navajeros (1980) directed by Eloy de la Iglesia. From an arthouse take on messed-up coming-of age narratives, to the gritty world of Spanish quinque films, get ready for crime, sex, drugs, suicide, murder and a whole classroom full of ennui.
We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for Typhoon Club by skipping ahead to the 1:10:17 mark, and for Navajeros by skipping ahead to 1:50:21.
