The Warriors: How Gangs, Deprivation, and Mythology Combine to Create a 70s Masterpiece
This week on the Lore Axe we take a look at one of the late 70s most beloved cult classics: The Warriors.
Based on the 1965 book by Sol Yurick and inspired by Xenophon's Anabasis, is this campy action movie a poorly acted send-up of violence and gang culture, or a centrepiece of late 70s cinema and a looking glass through which to view urban life in New York City?
We'll get into all that and more as we come out to play and try not to get wrecked. Who are the Warriors? Listen and find out.
