Episode 270: Among the Willows, Sorry, Charlie, You Can’t Run Forever, Lackadaisy: Ingenue, Samurai Cop

In this episode Mike, Rich and Steve check out three new releases:

 

AMONG THE WILLOWS (Miracle Media) is a western in which two old guys must put aside their own feud in order to hunt down a gang of killers...

SORRY, CHARLIE (Miracle Media) is another film in which an actor spends most of the running time on her own, talking to people on a phone. Can this film do enough to stand out from the rest? Check out our review!

YOU CAN'T RUN FOREVER (Signature Entertainment) finds the always excellent J K Simmons as a psychotic killer hunting down a traumatised teen...

 

Our Short Shot is LACKADAISY: INGENUE - this is the latest animated short about a gang of bootleggers in the  Prohibition era. We covered a lengthier cartoon featuring these characters back in episode 229 and most certainly recommend you check them out!

Our DTV Throwback is SAMURAI COP - a film which defies expectation. Its been lampooned before (There is a RiffTrax version out there) and friend of the show Rob Hill has recently made a 40 minute documentary on it. Please note that the version we've linked to, on Youtube, is edited for nudity - there are full versions available to rent. We urge you to watch the film, then check out Rob's documentary, HERE.
