Chris and Mike dive into a listener request, 1990: The Bronx Warriors - one of many Italian post-apocalyptic grindhouse action films made in the 1980's as a response to movies like The Road Warrior and Escape From New York. What sets Bronx Warriors apart from the rest is it's bizarre fascination of mixing a post-apocalyptic setting with a West-Side-Story-esque gangs; complete with painted faces, matching outfits, and choreographed dance routines. This film is also the last one filmed before Vic Morrow's unfortunate demise.
