Now this is a wicked fun episode. Will Johnson of Cinephile Hissy Fit joins the pod to geek out on Joe D'Amato's 1980's Italian post-apocalyptic cult classic Endgame: Bronx Lotta Finale! The film is a wild pastiche. It begins as a battle royale TV game-show and morphs into a story of a gruff antihero named Shannon (Al Cliver) leading a telepathic mutant (Moira Chen), an oracle-child archetype, and their troupe to safety. Filled with ninjas, blind assassin monks, radiological wastelands, and gratuitous nudity, Endgame is the cinematic equivalent of a 13-year-old boy's wet dream. Chatting about everything from Italian exploitation cinema, to the evolution of the NFL QB, to the artistic pulse & pragmatism that drives second-tier/low-budget movies, to Will's all time sports movie favorites (Any Given Sunday, White Man Can't Jump, He Got Game), this is an episode for sports fanatics and cinephiles alike!
Enjoy!
