Shownotes Transcript

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and William Thrasher discuss Death Wish 4: The Crackdown. Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) is blackmailed by Nathan White (John P. Ryan) into bumping off drug dealers.

The streamlined plot launches the viewer from one action sequence to another with aplomb. J. Lee Thompson manages to show off an impressive sense of scale during a gang warfare shootout. Gail Morgan Hickman's screenplay has a few novel twists even as the story has to end on a now familiar beat of Paul Kersey walking off by his lonesome.

Mat reads a nice email from a fan of the show. Thrasher likes the vintage Weird Al Yankovic mockumentary The Compleat Al. Mat felt The Dark Half movie directed by George Romero is nothing special aside from a few good surreal touches here and there.
