On this week’s episode of Someone Else’s Movie, I’m joined by writer-director Ian Harnarine, who spent a decade expanding his 2011 short film Doubles with Slight Pepper into a very satisfying feature film, Doubles, that makes its VOD debut today after its festival and theatrical runs. It’s a story of a father and a son separated by oceans both literal and emotional, and the long road to reconciliation. It’s good!

And Ian chose a film entirely unlike his own: The Harder They Come, Perry Henzell’s reggae-inflected cult classic starring Jimmy Cliff as a musician-turned-outlaw racing through Kingston for revenge on the shady promoters and dirty cops who derailed a promising career. It’s got a body count, and you can dance to it. There’s really no downside.

So crank the sound and get subscribed at all the usual spots — Apple, Spotify, YouTube Podcasts —or download it directly from the web and play it while you lie in wait for those greedy fat cats who done you wrong. It’ll pass the time.

And when you’re done, catch up to the latest editions of Shiny Things! Last week I wrote about VVS’ new release of Josh Margolin’s Thelma and the Shout! Studios 4K special edition of the animated classic (?) The Last Unicorn, which is both very special and not quite as special as it might have been. What am I talking about? Only one way to find out.
