Episode 145 - Thunder Crap

Thanks to Eli for pointing us in the direction of a series of films that had somehow flow under our collective radars...we are focusing on the "Thunder Warrior" series, starring Trash himself, mister Mark Gregory!  Borrowing liberally from movies like Billy Jack, First Blood, Cool Hand Luke, and lots of others, the "plots" focus on lead-character "Thunder" who is a descendant from a great warrior chief who is trying to right various wrongs for his tribe and for himself. He runs up against tons of racist cops, sheriffs, and townspeople over the course of the 3 films. We start off with "Thunder" from 1983, proceed to "Thunder 2" from 1987 and wrap things up with "Thunder 3" from 1988. The quality starts fairly high with the first and then just slides downward with the next two, but still, they are entertaining diversions with lots of goofy fun and more than a few cringe-worthy moments that will either start you laughing or make you gasp in disbelief...totally worth your time!  Thanks again Eli!We also do our normal rambling with personal stories and asides, so brace yourself for some meandering discussions.Send us your thoughts on the show and recommendations for future episodes to [email protected] or [email protected].
