CW: THE WARRIORS contains violence against women, including threats of sexual violence. Our conversation will briefly touch on these elements. When Harry saw the Wonder Wheel come OUT TO PLA-Eee-AAAY on screen at the Trylon's "Up All Night" movie marathon back in November, he hooted and hollered from the back row. The quintessential midnight movie, THE WARRIORS (1979) is a love letter to a vision of grimy, apocalyptic late '70s New York, a thrilling "single destination" action movie, and surprisingly nuanced, heartfelt, and heartbreaking portrayal of an underclass poised against a hostile world. By portraying the mythologized gangs of New York on their own terms, THE WARRIORS may just be the rare kind of movie that can make its righteous point without preaching. These are the armies of the night, and they're good… real good. Follow us at @trylovepodcast on Twitter and email us at trylovepodcast@gmail.com to get in touch!
