Dirty Gigs: Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974)
Oooh! We got a grimy one for ya today. We dive right into the dirt with famed auteur Sam Peckinpah’s minor (but still fascinating) work: Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia. Warren Oates leads a quirky cast populated by Mexican sex workers and suspiciously corporate hitmen in this tale of sexual jealousy, work, and morality and we just have a ball talking about it! Topics include: the hosts views on violent cinema, the strange life of “the world’s most interesting man” and Peckinpah’s friendship with Pauline Kael.
