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 tackle two films set in prisons featuring an allegorical Jesus Christ character and a supporting role from the late Harry Dean Stanton. Specific enough? 1967's Cool Hand Luke. 1999's The Green Mile. Rambling commentary about the state of America's Prison Industrial Complex and a rant against the death penalty.

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm taking a look at two made-for-TV adaptions of two of Stephen King's most celebrated (and longest) novels: 1990's IT and 1994's The Stand. And if you want more Stephen King goodness featuring yours truly, check out the latest episode of Throwdown Thursday where we discuss The Loser's Club and Pennywise and the TWoRP Aside I recorded where I am joined by Stephanie Wiley to discuss the 2017 version of IT.

So much Stephen King. So little time...
