Just watched THE WRAITH (1986) on Criterion Channel and…uh…the most famous part of the chase sequence in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is a straight steal from this movie.

That country song is exactly why having a #1 song anymore doesn't mean diddlyshit. It takes ZERO interaction to stream a song. ZERO. A number one song back prior to streaming meant you actually had to go seek that song out at the record store and BUY it. Yes, I'm old. I'll die on this hill.

I'm pretty sure when people find out you're Rick Pildes, the follow up question is "And what do you do?" or "Am I supposed to know who you are?"
When people find out that you’re Rick Pildes, are they like, “What’s going on with the election? Is this going to get stolen?”

Pildes: Yes, of course, I’m getting lots of those questions.
