Episode 23 - Angels of the City

🌃💥 HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD. NEON. DANGER. HARPOONS. AND A SONG THAT WON'T QUIT. 💥🌃 This week The PM Entertainment Podcast heads to the mean, neon-soaked streets of late 80s Hollywood for Angels of the City (1989) — a gloriously sleazy, energetic early PM Entertainment gem in which two college girls, dressed as street walkers for a sorority initiation, find themselves kidnapped, shot at and chased by actual pimps. And that's just where the trouble starts.Directed by, written by, starring and with the title song written and produced by Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs - AKA Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington from Welcome Back Kotter - who returns as the inept and not very heroic Detective Jon Chance. Angels of the City is early PM firing on all cylinders: car chases, shotgun blasts, people being thrown through glass, Interestingly placed Coor's Beer Lights, Checkov's random harpoon and one of the ear wormiest title tracks in the history of straight-to-video cinema. Produced by PM legends Joseph Merhi and Richard Pepin, this is PM Entertainment killing it before they even knew how good they were going to get.Joining me to dig into PM's Dante's Inferno of sorority comedies, are two of the finest authorities on direct-to-video and VHS cinema around — Moe Von Helvete and Matt Poirier, the Direct-to-Video Connoisseur himself.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pm-entertainment-podcast--6551188/support.Like what you hear? Share the episode, rate and review the show, like, comment, follow etc. on social media: Instagram | Facebook or email us at [email protected] and tell us directly!!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pm-entertainment-podcast--6551188/support.
