Throttle is Joe Hill and Stephen King's homage to Richard Matheson's Duel, but with some Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad thrown in for good measure. What happens when a biker gang is attacked on the open road by a killer truck driver? That's the question in front of this tale about a heavily dysfunctional father and son have to try to survive this ordeal which they may or may not have unknowingly instigated.
Director Natasha Kermani (Abraham's Boys, The Dreadful) is our guest this week and she picked a very interesting title to discuss: Stephen King's collaboration with his son Joe Hill titled Throttle. Kermani is no stranger to the work of Joe Hill, having adapted his story Abraham's Boys last year, and has some keen insights into both father and son's work, especially how both authors wrote about those very specific roles.
Kermani's latest film, The Dreadful, starring Game of Thrones's Sophie Turner and Kit Harington, alongside Mrs. Carmody herself, Marcia Gay Harden, releases in a theater near you February 20th.
