Double Feature
Big Wednesday
Essential SoCal cinema! Director/co-writer John Milius pulls stories from his own sandy youth to explore men, myth, and surf culture through the lives of three California beach buddies (Jan-Michael Vincent, William Katt, Gary Busey – all perfectly cast). Set between 1962 – 1974, Big Wednesday chronicles lives in transition, from Gods riding the waves to mortals on the sidelines, with relationships, destiny and the doom of Vietnam in the background.
