Holy Fist

      This week two classics of their genres. Two films from lands outside of Hollywood. Two titans whose shadows cast long over the valley of film and solidified their creators as masters. Two films with endless monologues about nothing pretending to be insightful...

     One of the most famous Mexican films ever produced. Headed by a massively multi-hyphenate, writer-director-composer-editor-set designer-costume designer-star, Alejandro Jodorowsky. All the esoteric you can handle and a heaping helping of exploding frogs. Can he lead the worst people on Earth to the enlightenment waiting atop The Holy Mountain?
     What happens when a TV series based on a manga takes all the violence they can't show on broadcast and rearranges it for theatrical distribution to get their gore on? Possibly the best post-apocalyptic action film to not feature anyone named Max or Carradine. When Ken is left for dead after being betrayed by his best friend and all the others he called brothers, he goes on a quest to clean the wastes and rescue his kidnapped lover, Julia. The legend, the myth, the seventh goriest film we have watched... Fist of the North Star.
     All that AND Dave finally breaks, Tyler reveals his secret plans, and Kevin finally pops that balloon. Join us, won't you?
