169: A24 Retrospective - Spring Breakers

We continue our series going through the entire catalog of A24's films. On this episode, 2012's Spring Breakers, directed by Harmony Korine is on the docket. The film had some stunt casting bringing in teen starlets Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson putting them in bikinis and watching them act like bad girls opposite James Franco doing a riff on the rapper Riff Raff and the directors wife Rachel Korine who rounds out the quartet of young women. 

Our double bill pairings include Taxi Driver (Dakota's pick) and Wild Things (Rachel's pick). 

If you haven't heard our deep dive into the origins of A24, listen to episode 108: A History of A24 Films and our last episode in this series 159: A24 Retrospective - The Green Knight.
