About this episode
The episode features an interview with John Harrison discussing his book and the film THE WARRIORS.
To celebrate the release of John Harrison’s incredible new book, CREATURES OF THE SCREEN, we take a look at one of the best examples of KISSPLOITATION – Walter Hill’s THE WARRIORS (1979). Together we veer off into KISS, Alice Cooper and Twisted Sister, and decide which of the film’s street gangs is the best, and why it’s definitely not The Hi-Hats. You have been warned.
