Milk Punch
When Buddy and Carl’s prized automobile—a mint 1972 Delta 88 that somehow catches every yellow light—is stolen by a couple of slackers taking it for a joyride, they take off in ice-cold pursuit. As the two duos circle the streets casually playing cat-and-mouse and shooting the breeze, these amiable misadventures are set to a wall-to-wall soundtrack of underground bangers including a track by Killdozer, a live concert by the Blue Meanies, and a countrified cover of a Shellac deep cut.
