Rutger Hauer Appreciation Month - ”Hobo With A Shotgun”

We here at Cinema Degeneration have declared May 2022 "Rutger Hauer Appreciation Month!" Twice a week we'll be releasing a show diving into a different film from Mr. Hauer's catalog of 175 film and television roles all throughout the month of May. The late Rutger Hauer, who unfortunately passed away in 2019, was a consummate professional thespian, writer, director, and devoted environmentalist, amongst many many other things. He graced the silver screen in many amazing shockers and brilliant films, normally playing heavies and villains and was known for his intense yet subtle performances. His amazing talent truly knew no bounds. For our 4th episode we bring you a review and deep dive discussion on the crazy Hauer exploitation extravaganza with the 2011 "HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN" from genre director Jason Eisener.  Starting out life as a fake trailer that won the Grindhouse trailer competition, Hobo With A Shotgun bloomed into the crazy feature film it is today. Hauer portrays the titular Hobo character that rolls into an urban setting of chaos and goes about bringing justice to the unfortunate citizens with his trusty pump action shotgun one shell at a time. Join our hosts Cameron Scott (Cinema Degeneration CEO) and his usual Grindhouse Pizzeria co-host Tom Komisar and special effects artist Deryk Wehrley as the three of them talk about one of their favorite Rutger Hauer films. "Put the knife away, kid, or I'll use it to cut welfare checks from your rotten skin."
