Dark City - Say Hello To My Little Film Ep. 315

Rob is kicking off August on SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM in the hopes of continuing his newfound streak with a 90s cult classic he thinks will tickle Ray’s film fancy. Alexa Proyas’ (THE CROW, I,ROBOT) 1998 sci-fi noir, DARK CITY! The film centers on John Murdoch (played brilliantly by Rufus Sewell), a man who wakes up in a hotel room with a dead body and no memory of how he got there, or if he perpetrated the killing. While desperately attempting to solve the mystery and clear his name, he finds himself in the crosshairs of a group of strange men who are seemingly behind a larger conspiracy that threatens to upend the world as John knows it. With a stellar supporting cast including Jennifer Connelly (REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, LABYRINTH), William Hurt (ALTERED STATES, THE BIG CHILL) and Keifer Sutherland (THE LOST BOYS, 24), DARK CITY is an underappreciated classic that felt ahead of its time. So much so, that the smash hit THE MATRIX, released the following year, has been accused of ripping it off! Will the originality of the story and effects make this a memorable experience for Ray? Or will the films that followed make this a forgettable film in the dust bin of history? Tune in this week to find out!
