EPISODE SYNOPSIS:
You may have heard that this episode is good...it’s THE
BEST.Don and Friend take the Q-Train
all the way to Coney Island to talk about one
of the quintessential cult movies from the 1970s with Walter Hill’s seminal
classic THE WARRIORS (review starting at 38:00)!Never content to merely talk about the
baseball bat and high-hat wielding gangs of New York City, our podcasting tough guys also
cover plenty of manly topics like: Frasier, House, The Inbetweeners 2, Roger
Ebert, Wet Hot American Summer, and the works of Greg Rucka (Lazarus and
Stumptown).So grab your spray paint and
prepare for a great time as Don, Friend, Cleon, Swan, Fox, Vermin, Cochise,
Snow, Cowboy, Ajax,
and Rembrandt share mic time for a great time with a great movie.
It's our first double feature extravaganza on the show! Don and Friend are paying tribute to the summers of their childhood by enjoying too much junk food while sitting in sleeping bags and listening to a movie through a tinny speaker while it's projected on a gigantic screen. Those of us who grew up in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s can remember the sheer excitement that came from taking a trip to the local Drive In to enjoy one Grade-A movie and a Grade-D later showing, the place where Star Wars and Battle Beyond the Stars could be seen for one low price (and even less if you snuck friends inside the trunk of the car). The Drive-In, a place where you could sit on the hood of the car, roof of the van, or on a lawn chair swatting mosquitoes while watching Burt Reynolds drive a Trans-Am and Chuck Norris karate kick some punks. Enjoy a 90-minute trip down memory lane as our summer gift to you!
EPISODE SYNOPSIS: The cooler is stocked with snacks and drinks and the station
wagon is parked at the prime spot at the local Drive-In Theatre.Come along as Don and Friend spend some time
reminiscing about visits to the classic outdoors theatres and some of the
classic movies they enjoyed.Then once
the sun sets turn on that window speaker as we enjoy our summer double feature
of two horror movies: The Babadook (starting at 21:30) and Wolfcop (at
53:30)!It’s a fun evening out with your
two friendly neighborhood podcasters as the conversation covers: The Shining,
H.O.T.S., Infra-Man, Bruce Lee, magic tricks, Tim Thomerson, The Blues
Brothers, Charles Band, concession stand hot dogs, Grease 2, and plenty of
Intermission memories!What better way
can you think of to spend an hour-plus of a summer evening than listening to us
through a lousy speaker while sweating in your car!Let’s all go to the Drive-In!
UPDATE!

Don and Friend bravely dive head-first into the crime-filled
streets of Hell’s Kitchen to give a complete review and synopsis to the entire
first season of Marvel’s DAREDEVIL (a Netflix exclusive series).How do these lifelong comic book fans feel
about the blind-superhero’s initial thirteen episodes?Do the fights and set pieces hold our
attention?The answer is YES!The show is a winner and you’d be well
informed to go watch it before listening to this in depth special episode
