The boys are back with another episode before Tim left in the first place. This week we are talking one of the coolest to ever do it, Jean-Pierre Melville and his brutally personal mangum opus "Army of Shadows". We dive into another tortured production, talk about the near semi-autobiographical nature of the French Resistance capering, how Le Wokeism kept this movie from most of the world for over 40 years and talk about why every director you think has made cool movies since the 70s probably was influenced by Melville to some extent. Also discussed: Brawl in Cell Block 99, Sometimes I Think About Dying, Paris 13th District plus we both saw Return to Silent Hill and boy does it suck major ass! Ben will return next week with a tag team of special guests to talk Darren Aronofsky's 2008 masterpice "The Wrestler".
Thanks to Disco for the show art and to Eric for the theme music.
