From Dusk Till Dawn (1996): Grindhouse Glory and the Legend of Sex Machine

This week, Richard and Angeles roll into the desert with From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)—the grindhouse bloodbath that starts as a crime thriller and swerves hard into vampire carnage halfway through. It’s George Clooney with a neck tattoo, Quentin Tarantino being feral, and Salma Hayek absolutely owning the screen.

We go scene by scene through this genre-bending classic, from hostage standoffs to tequila-drenched chaos at the Titty Twister. If you ever wondered what would happen if Pulp Fiction and Evil Dead II had a sweaty, sleazy baby—this is it.
