Episode 131: Shoot to Kill (1988)

In this episode, we head back to basics with a late 80s flick. Jason's pick serves up a surprisingly underrated genre blender worthy of our show's title. It's a crime film. It's a thriller. Then it swerves into a pretty epic wilderness survival adventure. All that and more! So join us as we check out Roger Spottiswoode's Shoot to Kill from 1988. But before all that, we dish on our latest viewings as Jason polishes off some recent TV shows and Dustin casts a wide net and ultimately weighs in on the hyped up new cut of the 2nd X-Files film. And stick around till the end as we chat about some recent (and mostly depressing) film news. And so much more!
