Today we are talking about one of our favorites Hit and Run, written and directed by Dax Shepard. This 2012 film follows Annie and Yul as he tries to get her to a job interview while avoiding the law. As per usual we discuss the cinematography, writing, sets, casting, costuming. Join us for some Dax and Kristen fun. Also discussed, why carrier pigeons are a good alternative to social media.
Yul Perrkins a.k.a. Charles Bronson: “I don’t have a job. I don’t have any friends. You don’t love me anymore. So my word is really all I have going for me.”
Annie Bean: “I don’t not love you. I’m just terrified that I don’t know you.”

Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- The handling of the gay community and it’s allies
- Dax writing in a “Show, Don’t Tell style”
- How the painted yellow road lines make good leading lines
- Road dust makes good exterior fog
- How the cars inform the characters
- Our favorite features: the driving review, smoochies, Head Trauma and The Numbers
