The Warriors (1979)
from Alcohollywood
CAN YOU DIG IT, listeners? This week, returning guest Julia of Mercy Street Theatre Company bops with us as we watch Walter Hill's 1979 cult gang thriller The Warriors! A pulpy, disco-tinged Greek epic about a beleaguered street gang from Coney Island lost on the wrong side of town after being framed for killing a prominent gang leader, the movie's long on style and short on complexity. We found quite a bit to talk about, from apocalypse theories to the unfortunate Director's Cut. Throw on your tight blue jeans and brown leather vest, 'cause we're ready to play-ee-ay with our custom cocktail and drinking game!
