I Eat Movies #20: In No Sense - Rich Kids (1979) / Kenny & Company (1976)

Exchanging adults for adolescents, Mike and Dino explore the suburbs and cityscapes of youth in I Eat Movies #20: In No Sense - Rich Kids (1979) / Kenny & Company (1976). Produced by Robert Altman and, in a rare move, headlined by its young newcomers, Rich Kids finds two friends bonding over the shattered realities of their broken homes. Naturalistic and as humorous as it can be heavy, cohosts Dino and Mike rave about Terry Kiser's groovy man cave, the flawlessness of John Lithgow and some very questionable pizza. Later, Don Coscarelli's most personal film rushes over us with waves of nostalgia that recalls simpler times. Dreamlike, sweet and funny as hell, Mike also paints a frightening (and in retrospect, hilarious) portrait of a ding-donging nightmare come true from his younger years. A parent's permission isn't required for listening but, maybe do it anyways for old time sake's as you tune into I Eat Movies #20: In No Sense - Rich Kids (1979) / Kenny & Company (1976). And no, this was not recorded in Westport!
