Great Directors! Bad Movies? O.C. & Stiggs and Convoy

In this episode of *Film Swap*, genre film guru Richard Doyle returns to the show as we deep dive into two cult classics by legendary film directors that have a reputation for being downright awful: Robert Altman’s *O.C. and Stiggs* (1987) and Sam Peckinpah’s *Convoy* (1978). Are these the director's worst turkeys or misunderstood diamonds in the rough?

We explore Altman’s satirical take on the teen comedy genre, starring Daniel Jenkins and Neill Barry as two mischievous outsiders wreaking havoc in suburban Arizona. Then, we hit the road with Peckinpah’s high-octane trucker action-comedy drama, featuring Kris Kristofferson, Ali MacGraw, and Ernest Borgnine in a rebellious battle against corrupt law enforcement. How do these two wildly different films compare? Tune in as we discuss their themes, directorial styles, and cult status in cinematic history.
