Episode 107 - Miracle Mile (1988)

Broadcast on:
28 Jul 2023

We’re back in Los Angeles for Steve De Jarnatt’s apocalyptic thriller with Anthony Edwards as a musician who accidentally finds out that nuclear war has broken out, leading to mass panic through the city, and Mare Winningham as the girl he's only just met but now wants to save from nuclear annihilation.

We also get a chance to talk to musician George Korein of George Korein and the Spleen, who wrote a song about Miracle Mile called “Drowning in a Helicopter” on his album Denouemort. Check out George’s music at https://georgekorein.bandcamp.com
