    More on THE WARRIORS (1979):
    "The Warriors" (1979) is a gritty action thriller directed by Walter Hill, set in a dystopian version of New York City. The film follows the story of a Coney Island gang known as the Warriors, wrongly accused of killing a rival gang leader during a citywide meeting. With a target on their backs, the Warriors must fight their way back to their home turf, navigating through hostile gang territories and evading the police.
    The movie portrays a nightlong odyssey filled with intense gang clashes, showcasing the raw, urban landscape of 1970s New York. As the Warriors journey across the city, they encounter vivid and colorful gangs, each with their own distinct style and attitude. Through their struggles and alliances formed along the way, the characters in the film confront themes of loyalty, survival, and the harsh realities of their environment.
    "The Warriors" captivates audiences with its dynamic action sequences, memorable dialogue, and a pulsating soundtrack that enhances the tension and energy of the film. Despite initial controversy upon its release, the movie has since achieved cult status, celebrated for its iconic portrayal of gang culture and its stylish depiction of a city in turmoil. As the Warriors fight to prove their innocence and make it back to Coney Island, the audience is taken on a thrilling and unforgettable journey through the seedy underbelly of New York City.
    More on MOIST FURY (2011; Partially taken from the SRS Cinema release summary):
    It's "Death Wish" meets "Savage Streets" meets "Monty Python" in this over the top 80's-style, post-apocalyptic, girl-gang, time-travel revenge comedy by cult film guru CHRIS SEAVER! When their best fighter, Dewback, is killed, the Queafs must exact bloody vengeance! In the middle of their war, a lone nomad warrior comes into the picture & begrudgingly helps the girls on their quest for revenge. Set in a post-apocalyptic 1989 and filled to the brim with cheesy acting, bad production value, and horrible 80's metal, this throwback to exploitation of the past is sure to get your blood pumping and your funny bone moist with fury!

    The choice entry locked and loaded is EP 104: "THE BATMAN" (2022) - A BRUTAL REVIEW!
    Did writer/director MATT REEVES believe in his project, or did he just see a rerun of SAW while listening to somebody's sad-girl cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit? Nate thinks the latter! Why did Nate choose to revisit this movie that, as is tattooed above his navel, he really did not like?
    BECAUSE IT’S THE FILM THAT UNHINGED HIM!
    Once again, "The Batman Knocks Twice" on this week's episode of CULT AND CLASSIC FILMS Podcast! Listen wherever you get your podcasts and at https://cultandclassicfilms.com/, and watch at Youtube.com/@cultandclassicfilms!

    A Garbage Positive Review of THE BATMAN (2022) as Presented to Us by AI:
    In 2022, director Matt Reeves presented audiences with a fresh and dark take on the iconic superhero in "The Batman." This film dives deep into the complex psyche of Bruce Wayne, portrayed by Robert Pattinson, as he navigates both his identity as Batman and his personal demons. Set in Gotham City, which is plagued by corruption and criminality, Batman finds himself facing off against a mysterious serial killer known as the Riddler, played brilliantly by Paul Dano. The Riddler's cryptic messages challenge Batman both intellectually and emotionally, pushing him to his limits as he races against time to unravel the criminal's twisted motives.
    The gritty and atmospheric tone of "The Batman" sets it apart from previous interpretations of the caped crusader, offering a noir-inspired visual aesthetic that immerses the audience in a bleak and dangerous world. The stellar performances by the cast, including Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman and Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Jim Gordon, further elevate the film and add layers of depth to the narrative. As Batman delves deeper into the Riddler's plot, he uncovers long-buried secrets that force him to confront the blurred lines between justice and vengeance, ultimately challenging his moral code and pushing him to redefine his role as the Dark Knight.
    Overall, "The Batman" captivates viewers with its gripping storytelling, stunning cinematography, and intense action sequences. Through its exploration of Batman's internal struggles and external battles, the film offers a nuanced and compelling portrayal of one of the most beloved superheroes in pop culture. With its blend of psychological depth, thrilling suspense, and dynamic character dynamics, "The Batman" stands out as a modern classic that redefines the superhero genre and leaves a lasting impact on audiences long after the credits roll.

A Grisly Good Time!

I love this podcast! I found it through an episode about Janice.Click (I was name dropped hehe) and found myself enjoying the array of co-hosts and Nick Wycoff’s persona! They pick great films and the two film format keeps it engaging and fun!

Hey movie fans

This podcast covers a wide array of films. Usually the kind that didn't get the attention they deserve and may have passed you by. You'll enjoy a concise and humorous breakdown of each movie along with their history and behind the scenes facts of what might be some of your new favorites.

For film lovers!

New to movies? Seen them all? This podcast hits all those buttons and then some. Each episode provides not only background (which is great for context) but also analyzes the films, warts and all. Plus, it’s funny to boot and helps creates a to-do list of films you’ve likely never heard of or at least haven’t though of in years.
