Talk Without Rhythm Podcast

Join El Goro, part-time luchador and full-time cinephile, as he delves into the broad grassy spaces and massed granite tarns of cinema. Each episode, El Goro discusses two movies tied together by some kind of theme. Action, sci-fi, horror, high-brow, low-brow: it's all fair game.

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I have two films as selected by TWoRP Elite Patron Jae! Jae's picks typify the 90s style of bombastic, yet subversive, sci-fi offerings with 1993's Demolition Man and 1995's Tank Girl. And as we've proven time. And time. And time again - when Jae and I get together the conversation can take some wild turns.

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm continuing on my month of AniMayTion with two series that exist solidly in the sweet spot of what I like in anime. Representing the unhinged, adult-oriented, anything goes era of 80s and 90s anime, we have 1992's Bastard!! And standing tall as a hilarious send-up of action anime cliches (while still delivering a HELL of an incredible action wallop) we have 2015's One-Punch Man. Joining me in the conversation is my old cohort on the Sons of Metal Podcast, The Son of Odin!

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I have a Yakuza double-feature lined up thanks to the request of TWoRP Legionnaire Jay Spear. Jay wanted me to discuss the classic 1973 Kinji Fukasaku film Battles Without Honor and Humanity so I opted to pair it up with the demented 2013 Sion Sono flick Why Don't You Play in Hell? 

Two very different takes on the Yakuza, to be sure, but two damn fine films regardless.
