    On this episode, Mike White looks back at one of my favourite flicks from the mid-80's with interviews with both the director and star of the film. Both interviews are fantastic and despite Mike White's warning about the sound quality of the Rutger Hauer segment (who talks to him from the set of a movie), I didn't think there was anything wrong with it! If you're a fan of The Hitcher (if you're not, I pity you!), you're gonna wanna check this out for sure.
