As The Bikeriders rolls into theaters, viewers will be transported back into the 1960s and 1970s, particularly via biker culture and the fictional club, the Chicago Vandals. The film’s ensemble includes Austin Butler as Benny, a lover of motorcycles who joins up with Tom Hardy’s Johnny, who starts the Vandals. Jodie Comer plays Kathy, who immediately falls for Benny one night at a bar. Damon Herriman plays Johnny’s righthand man Brucie, and other staples of the crew include Beau Knapp’s Wahoo, Karl Glusman’s Corky, Boyd Holbrook’s Cal and Michael Shannon’s Zipco. Norman Reedus later joins up, and the story wouldn’t exist without Mike Faist’s rendition of Danny Lyon, a photographer who put together the book titled The Bikeriders which inspired Jeff Nichols’ film.

(This is the first in an occasional series in which I remember some of the best double features I’ve been lucky enough to see projected in a theater.)
The New Beverly Cinema, the oldest surviving revival theater in Los Angeles, has this week dished up a time-capsule glimpse into America’s popular obsession with Cb, or citizen’s band, radio and the largely mythological outlaw trucker culture through which it crackled. If you’re of a certain age (mine), and you ever cruised around town or down the highway jabbering to friends and strangers on an open channel frequency (I did—my handle was The Godfather!), given the opportunity I don’t see how you could possibly resist the chance to see the ultimate trucker-cb action-comedy pairing, Hal Needham’s Smokey and the Bandit and Sam Peckinpah’s Convoy.
