This week we're diving deeply and darkly into the DTV realm and fishing up a couple of classier than usual gems with legitimate people involved. We kick things off with a discussion of the subtly anger fueled Neo-Noir, Sweet Virginia (2017), featuring a sad, bearded bull riding Jonny Bernthal. Then we head out to Baltic region and fish ourselves up some Polish gangsters in the undercover-snitch/prison crime drama, The Informer (2019), featuring Robocop, Gone Girl, Shoot 'Em Up, Marilyn Monroe and Common!

Sometimes you go into a movie with hopes and dreams of the magnificently magical treasure box that's about to hopefully be revealed before your eye meats. You see the cast, the plot synopsis and the vintage and you just know you're in for something truly special. And other times you end up with the Brent Huff penned and directed stinkbag, The Bad Pack (1997) starring Robert Davi in a big dumb leather jacket and Confederate soldier cap. Luckily, there are yet other times when you don't have any expectations at all and you end up with something really kinda special. Such is the case with Don Johnson in his cinematic debut, as an unhinged cop on the edge, chasing Neo Nazis across the American heartland in Dead Bang (1989)!

Real movie fans buy a lot of movies. The REALEST movie fans buy movies they've never even seen. The even REALER REALEST movie fans buy movies they've never seen and often don't watch them for years... Even decades. This week we help to assuage this weighty, watchlist affliction by assisting Jake in ensuring his well earned money has been spent wisely by watching two bangers from his back catalogue. We kick things off with a discussion about a snow suit and social commentary infused, Exploitation/Docu-Drama from Canucklehead land, Gina (1975). Then we throw on our crispiest pair of tighty whities and descened into a nightmare world of gay panic and hairy thighs in the Giallo inspired weirdness of Hanging Heart (1989).
