Grindhouse Pizzeria - ”White Lightning”

On Episode 31 of our show "Grindhouse Pizzeria" which is dedicated to all things encompassing various Grindhouse, Drive-In, and Exploitation genres; we will be reviewing and dissecting a first of its kind here at GP with the gritty moonshine run/car chase flick with 1973's "WHITE LIGHTNING". Directed by Joseph Sargent (Jaws: The Revenge) and starring the ONE and the ONLY Burt Reynolds at Gator McKlusky. Rounding out this killer cast is Bo Hopkins, Diane, Ladd, Ned Beatty, Jennifer Billingsley, Matt Clark, John Steadman, R.G. Armstrong, and many more. This movie, which spawned an equally solid sequel "GATOR", is a revenge tale about moonsine runners versus a corrupt sheriff. There's plenty of crooked cops, moonshine, fast cars, and car crashes. Burt is here doing what he does best...looking cool and driving fast. Our discussion is headed off by our regular hosts Tom Komisar and Cameron Scott! Join the two of them as they take a deep dive dissection of this loose and fast exploitation effort!  Come on in at the Grindhouse Pizzeria, pull up a chair, and grab yourself a slice!
