About this episode

The episode features an interview with Dallas Sonnier discussing the rise of right wing exploitation films and his work in the genre.

Hello all. * I wrote a piece for Compact magazine about Citizen Vigilante and the rise of the Right Wing exploitation film. Includes list of these films, many of which produced by Dallas Sonnier. A non-exhaustive list of basedsploitation films would include Bone Tomahawk (2015), Brawl in Cell Block 99 (2017), Dragged Across Concrete (2018), Run. Hide. Fight. (2020), Sound of Freedo m (2023), Nefarious (2023), and Muzzle (2023). Run. Hide. Fight. Infidels , a sequel to Run. Hide. Fight. coming this fall, will almost certainly make the list. * We had Dallas Sonnier himself on the MAMA podcast (see above) for an interview about his new film Run.Hide.Fight: Infidels . Powerful trailer: Many talk about RW art not being funded, but Dallas Sonnier is proof that it does, if it’s good enough.
