Episode 96: The Challenge (1982)
from Cinema Oblivia · host cinemaoblivia
The Challenge, directed by John Frankenheimer and starring Scott Glenn, is not the greatest film in the world. It was certainly not the greatest film to come out in 1982, but it's about a giant white dipshit living in Japan and making an ass of himself. And as a giant white dipshit who lives in Japan who routinely makes an ass of himself, I felt seen. Although I've killed far less people than Scott Glenn does in this movie (at least, so far). Fellow American in Japan Diamond Feit joins me to talk about this very silly film.
