About this listen


This week, we review Rebel Without a Cause (1955), Nicholas Ray’s groundbreaking teen drama that helped define a generation. James Dean stars as the iconic Jim Stark, a troubled teenager grappling with identity, alienation, and the search for belonging in a world that doesn’t seem to understand him. With Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo rounding out a powerful cast, this emotionally charged film delves into the volatile mix of youth rebellion, fragile masculinity, and the yearning for connection.

Is teenage angst a cry for help or just the sound of growing up too fast? Listen on to find out!

Movie 445 on Metacritic’s all time movie list.
