Episode 19 - Riot

🎄🔥 A VERY MERHI CHRISTMAS 🔥🎄For our Christmas episode, The PM Entertainment Podcast dives headfirst into Riot (1996) — a Yuletide action spectacular where Gary Daniels roundhouse kicks his way through idiot children who don't know how to cook a pizza and have terrible taste in wall art, civil unrest, and unusually agressive amateur sports teams, through a Los Angeles riot zone that is suspiciously the New York backlot at Paramount Studios, lit only by burning cars and twinkly Christmas lights that turn out to have a suspiciously high voltage - it's a slamming seasonal smashfest like only PM could deliver.Teaming up with Sugar Ray Leonard, and backed by B Movie, character actor, legend Charles Napier, the Britkicker himself has to deal with multiple mad gangs, the IRA and an insane amount of rocket launcher chaos, all under the watchful eye of relentless investigative reporter Harry Johansen. The result is a breathless, nonstop display of stunt carnage and dodgy accents orchestrated by Spiro Razatos and Director, Joseph Merhi. Peace on Earth was never an option.Joining us for the breakdown are Chris Kacvinsky from Bulletproof Action and Matt Poirier the Direct-to-Video Connoisseur, whose new novel Mark in Sales is available NOW on Amazon:https://amzn.to/3Y9NrFT buy it today!Together, we dig into why Riot remains one of PM’s most ambitious action outings, idiot pizza box burning children, the film’s massive stunt work, and imagine many a Harry Johansen, collective PM Universe, spin-off.And that’s not all — this episode is packed with interviews, including:🎤 William Applegate Jr., the screenwriter🎤 Kenneth Tigar, reflecting on his role as Harry Johansen, PM’s most fearless on-screen reporter and L.A.
