Episode 20 - Midnight Warrior

📺🔥 RATINGS. RISK. REGRET. 🔥📺 For Episode 20, The PM Entertainment Podcast dives into Midnight Warrior (1989), a gloriously late-80s PM fever dream where heroism is just another commodity, danger is good for business, montages are mandatory, and a dreamy synth anthem literally sings the movie’s title at you until it embeds itself in your brain forever. Starring Kevin Bernhardt as embattled news cameraman Nick Branca, in a pleather duster coat, Midnight Warrior exists in a world of rival gangs of news crews, ratings-obsessed, sleazy executives, awkwardly staged sex scenes, BIG hair, exploding cars, exploding helicopters, and some genuinely gorgeous night photography of Los Angeles - glowing like a neon warning sign. Directed by the M of PM, Joseph Merhi and written by Charles T. Kanganis, Midnight Warrior is early PM figuring out its voice: media exploitation, moral compromise, and the uncomfortable realization that the camera never blinks, even when it probably should. It's cynical, stylish, sleazy, and weirdly prophetic. Joining us once again are the dream team of Chris Kacvinsky from https://www.bulletproofaction.com/ and Matt Poirier, the Direct-to-Video Connoisseur, (https://dtvconnoisseur.blogspot.com/) and we get stuck in on discussing: - PM Entertainment’s darker, grittier early period - Bernie Angel’s scenery chewing, sleazy, all-too-believable news hound - Lilly Melgar’s very eager, girl next door performance as Angelina Mantucci - PM talking Italian - and a potentially better way to end the film that involves a lot more spaghetti 🎧 Available now wherever you get your podcasts Lights on.
