They keep referring to the locations as Brooklyn, this movie was filmed mostly in Astoria, Queens…you see Queensbridge housing and Astoria pool under the triboro bridge

If you wanna see Woody Strode more in his prime as a lead, playing a buffalo soldier check out Sergeant Rutledge. It was on Criterion for a while but you probably gotta rent it now

I accidentally fast-forwarded, and when I recovered Gabrus was talking about his toenail polish for the second time recently (what was the other? Shadow Wolves? H&M?). Sent me into a very weird deja vu spiral.

Lustig has a thing for prison shower rape scenes; the most notorious is likely the one in Maniac Cop. Another highly recommended Forster vehicle from around the same era is Walking the Edge (1985), co-starring Nancy Kwan and... Joe Spinell! Forster is a down on his luck LA cab driver, Kwan is a desperate woman hellbent on revenge. Spinell is the heavy of course. Lots of great seedy LA locations you rarely see on film.

Harris was on Pete Holmes you made it weird podcast. Think about that ep a lot. He almost joined scientology to try get clean.

does anyone else get Thomas Jane vibes from Vigilante-era Robert Forster?

Love this movie. Saw it at the New Bev with Lustig in person sharing stories a mile a minute. Amazing time.

David A Prior's Rapid Fire 1989 is also worth mentioning. Joe Spinell's final role and a dude with a secret government machine gun fucking things up on a Navy Ship. It's pure trash in all the right ways.

Check out Alligator 1980. Robert Forster's charm is at full power and elevates the movie from total waste of time to only slight waste of time. The man never phoned it in once. Gopher shows up too.

I saw a screening of Batman Mask of Phantasm this weekend, it rocked. Also, Bechdal Cast did an hour long episode devoted to the Nicole Kidman AMC film. Pretty fun episode. I need to get to an AMC and see this thing.

Whelp, I'm a conservative now, this movie did it.
