Written By Craig Schroeder

We continue our series examining the films of S. Craig Zahler and their increasingly bizarre depiction of a violent, conservative "uptopia/dystopia". This week we watched BRAWL IN CELL BLOCK 99, Zahler's attempt at a prison exploitation flick starring Vince Vaughn, Don Johnson, and Udo Kier. Also:

  • We celebrate the death of Henry Kissinger, one of history's greatest villains.

  • Upcoming movies we're geeked for: THE IRON CLAW, THE SWEET EAST, POOR THINGS, and FERRARI.

  • The Daily Wire has released an anti-trans comedy called LADY BALLERS (or based JUWANNA MAN)

  • What makes an exploitation film?
