'Brawl In Cell Block 99' [2017] - Wackoe, CE Garcia, and Gabe "The Calilobo."

C.E. Garcia Month kicks off with "Brawl in Cell Block 99," starring Vince Vaughn in an against-type performance as a former boxer whose attempt to provide for his family sends him down a path that leads straight into the depths of hell. We'll discuss director S. Craig Zahler's uncompromising style, the film's deliberate pacing, its shocking violence, and why this modern grindhouse throwback has become a cult favorite.

Along the way, the conversation takes an unexpected detour into the current state of Hollywood, and how the surprise box-office success of 'Obsession' and 'Backrooms' says about modern audiences, and the lessons to be learned by the industry. From prison brawls to box-office trends, this episode has it all, whether you want it to or not.
