Palmer's Pick-Up

Running time: N/A

Set during the Christmas season in 1999, Palmer's Pick-Up introduces us to Bruce (Robert Carradine) and Pearl (Richard Hillman), two down and outers in LA trying to make a go of their package delivery business. On Christmas Eve, they get a deal too good to be true: $12k to deliver a crate to Florida. The only stipulations are that they NOT open the crate, and it must be delivered before midnight on New Year's Eve. During their journey from California to Florida, they encounter the entire cross section of strange people in America, including psycho ex-cons, a wacko radio evangelist, a nymphomaniac trucker lady, a 3-legged humanoid, and a mysterious androgynous mob boss who follows them in a high-tech surveillance RV. In addition, Bruce is obsessed with the disappearance of Dick Cash (Morton Downey, Jr.), America's #1 talk show host, and Pearl suffers from hallucinations and strange visions of the future. It all comes to a head in Florida when events of Earth (and universe) collide in shattering proportions.
