4. TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA (1985), with Liam Dunn

Today we explore the late William Friedkin's 1985 dark and dazzling neo-noir, To Live and Die in LA, which stars William L. Peterson, Willem Dafoe and John Pankow, features stunning cinematography by Robby Müller and a killer soundtrack by British new wave band, Wang Chung. 

My special guest is writer and filmmaker Liam Dunn, who is also co-host of Sci-Frights, the upcoming film discussion podcast from the interzone where horror meets sci-fi.

He is currently the co-programmer of the community cinema project the Distorted Frame Film Club in London, which conducts regular screenings of films which celebrate the unique qualities, flaws and possibilities of the digital camera. Their next event will be a screening of the 2007 film [REC] on Tuesday 29 October at The Castle Cinema, Clapton / @thecastlecinema
