Episode 63: Walken on Sunshine - Christopher Walken in the '80s

The Brattle Film Podcast - A podcast by The Brattle Theater, Ian Brownell, Ivy Moylan, Ned Hinkle, Alissa Darsa

Categories:

Diving deep into the ‘80s filmography of one of our favorite actors, we discuss the unique performance style of Christopher Walken; his sense of humor, sense of menace, skills as a dancer, the many commercial failures he made as a leading man during this decade, and why we think all his '80s movies are all worthy of revisiting. Along the way, we get into many cultural aspects of the decade: Madonna power ballads, the Roger Moore era of James Bond, Golan-Globus fairly tale musicals, pre-CGI special effects, actors who say "yes" to every role, and real-life alien abductions.
