Blood In Blood Out (Episode 75) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky

Director Taylor Hackford's (An Officer And A Gentleman, Dolores Clairborne) first cut of his Chicano epic Blood In Blood Out was nearly five hours long but distributor Disney, already skittish about the box office prospects of a hard hitting drama about Mexican gang culture with no stars, forced him to cut it down to three.  Disney also insisted on a title change.  Blood In Blood Out refers to the Chicano gang motto of death being the only way in and out of a gang.  Disney, fearing violence at movie theaters, changed the title to the safer Bound By Honor.   Dan and Vicky discuss Blood In Blood Out, their second film with a primarily Latin cast behind The Mambo Kings from episode 73.  Also on deck are lots of recently seen including selections from the Film Society of Lincoln Center's Scary Movie Festival, Crazy Rich Asians, Red Christmas, Maps of the Stars, 1982's The Thing, and Vicky's first viewing of 2001.   And don't miss talk of Vicky's further Funikijam adventures and Dan's first experience with a YouTube Live broadcast.   Celebrate our diamond 75th show, Hot Date: Blood In Blood Out, and leave us some feedback on our social media accounts.
