Last Call At Torchy’s #1 : Hard Times 1975

Author: LegionPodcasts.com July 1, 2021 Duration: 1:03:10
Hey, Legionaires and other ruffians! Come one and come quick like the star of the first subject of a brand new thing. This is Last Call At Torchy’s. It is a show in which Lee Russell (They MUST Be Destroyed On Sight!) Cameron Scott (Cineme Degeneration) and Gary Hill (Cinema Beef/Two Drink Minimum Commentaries/Blood From The Core) cover the catalog of a real Renaissance man of cinema, Mr. Walter Hill. For our first outing, we lace up our gloves with some heavy hitters including Charles Bronson, Strother Martin and James Coburn for Hard Times 1975. It tells the story of Chaney who is a traveler who packs a whallop who ends up in depression-era New Orleans. Along with his hustlers Poe and Speed, he punches his way to the top of the underground fighting game in The Big Easy.

Grab a stool and settle in at The Butcher Shop, where the conversation is always fresh and the cuts are deep. Host Gary is joined by regulars Iris Walters, Suzanne Cappelletti, and Jamie Sammons to break down a pair of films connected by a common theme, genre, or sometimes just a wonderfully bizarre coincidence. This isn't a dry critical analysis, though you'll certainly get sharp insights. Instead, think of it as overhearing a lively, sometimes chaotic debate among friends who love movies, from blockbuster TV adaptations to obscure cult classics. The real meat of this podcast is the camaraderie and the good-natured ribbing that flies back and forth as they dissect what works, what doesn't, and why a particular performance leaves them in stitches. You'll hear genuine laughter, passionate disagreements, and the kind of tangents that only happen when people are truly enjoying a conversation. Whether the films are comedies, dramas, or something entirely unclassifiable, the discussion is always approachable and engaging. For anyone who enjoys film but often finds the most memorable part is talking about it afterwards with friends, this podcast captures that exact feeling. Each episode feels like you've pulled up a chair at the table, ready for a double feature followed by a conversation that's as entertaining as the movies themselves.
