Wasteland Appreciation Month - ”Blood Of Heroes”

We've fallen behind on editing these Wasteland episodes so we're extending the Appreciation Month topic into the first couple weeks of December as well. So, we hope you don't mind a few more trips heading out into the Dystopian fueled nightmares of the Apocalypse. It's a month long celebration of all things Post-Apocalyptic so you can expect marauders, scavengers, mutants and mayhem, cool car chases, fights over water and fuel, and battles of epic proportions. Coming up next in the dystopian and action mayhem in our 6th episode is a rather obscure sports themed flick with 1989's "THE BLOOD OF HEROES" from writer/director David Webb Peoples (writer of Blade Runner, Leviathan, Ladyhawke, and the Oscar winning Unforgiven). This feature tells of a future where the majority of technology and people have been wiped out and the remaining inhabitants and their sole entertainment is a sport called Jugging...a violent game played with the skull of a dog. The main lead played by the late Rutger Hauer, with the supporting cast portrayed by Joan Chen, Vincent D'Onofrio, Delroy Lindo, and Hugh Keays-Byrne. We foloow our core group as they travel the wastelands from game to game, leading to one of the only few cities where they long to play in the official league. Our deep dive discussion on this grueling flick is headed off by the duo of Cameron Scott with friend and frequent collaborator Gary Hill (Cinema Beef / The Last Call At Torchy's Podcast). Join them and buckle in because it's going to be a wild ride!    "I don't like brutality. I like heroics. I like the blood of heroes."
