Episode 20: Blokesploitation

Top lads Ben and Danny embrace new technology with their first long-distance podcast episode to chat with the pre-eminent scholar of all things Blokesploitation (plus cineboi) Alfie Martin. Alongside exploring what exactly makes such a morally repugnant and largely naff subgenre tick, we also attempt to identify who exactly these films are made for, and if their appeal is even more timely in an era where is seems that now more than ever, men are desperately searching for role models in the darkest places. Plus plenty of analysis of films such as Green Street, Football Factory and the work of Blokesploitation titan Nick Love. Grab a carling and put those bruised knuckles on ice. It's a belter.
