GBW #48: My Posse's Gettin' Bigger (The Untouchables / Gangster Squad / Young Guns)

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more! This week, Ryan and Chris look at three pieces of historical pulp fiction with a cartoonish tone about rounding up a posse to take down the corrupt in power. We start with Brian De Palma's hugely entertaining 1987 crime flick "The Untouchables" (fresh off a new 4K UHD transfer), then come down hard on 2013's "Gangster Squad" (virtually the same plot as "The Untouchables" just that the names, places, and locations have changed and the fun vacuumed out of it) before finishing with 1988's Brat-Pack Western oddity (though popular at the time), "Young Guns." You can find this and future episodes on our website thegoodbadwhat.com. You can subscribe to our show on Apple Podcasts, Anchor.fm, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, Google Podcasts, and more!
