From KCRW, Santa Monica and KCRW.com, this is The Treatment.

I'm Elvis Mitchell. Welcome to the treatment, which you can also hear in KCRW.com.

If you always thought the world needed a cross between a relationship comedy and gone in 60

seconds, then hit and run is the movie for you.

It's co-director, writer, and it's star.

Dax Sheppard is saying across me, Dax, thanks so much for being here.

Elvis, thank you for having me.

And I love that description of the movie.

But it really is that.

Yeah. you for having me and I love that description of the movie but it really is that I don't know if you want to like as a night job also do do log lines because that was that blows away

anything I've seen written for the movie how do you describe the movie I say an action comedy

with a shockingly sincere love story underneath of it see I think I just made that up in front

me that's that's what I'm saying today.

But it really is that, because I'm guessing we're kind of from the same neck of the woods,

and there's a certain kind of exploitation picture based on, you know, horsepower that you

probably saw a lot of music here.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, I saw smoking the bandit upwards of 150

times before I graduated high school. I mean, I've never, I don't know any movie inside

and out as much as that movie. That was, you know, something my brother and I pretended we were

snowman and the bandit on the big wheels. Like, it was, it's in my DNA that movie.

Like, Hal Needham was my father figure.

The guy you wanted to be?
