Cult Of Muscle!!!!!!!!

This week we've got a heapin' helpin' of manly revenge from two separate decades and two separate continents. First we kick things off with the stoic stylings of one Henry Silva in Umberto Lenzi's Manhunt in the City and then we bebop our way on into the 80s with Gary Busey taking on William Smith in Eye of the Tiger. So velcro on your favorite rat pelts and dish yourself up a cold plate of VENGEANCE!!!   e-mail: cultofmuscle@gmail.com tumblr: cultofmuscle.tumblr.com Facebook: facebook.com/groups/cultofmuscle Merch: redbubble.com/people/cultofmuscle/shop   Liftage: 0:00:0 - 0:41:00 Manhunt in the City: 0:42:00 - 1:15:00 Eye of the Tiger: 1:16:00 - 1:55:00 Feedback: 1:55:00 - END      

We is back with a real boondoggle of an episode that could have only happened with the help of Jeremy Piven and the fine nation of South Africa.  This week we struggle with Skype, Google, hyperactive grown men, and indecipherable horror with reviews of The Stick and Smokin Aces.  It had to be like this.   E-Mail: culrofmuscle@gmail.com tumblr: cultofmuscle.tumblr.com Facebook: Facebook.com/groups/cultofmuscle Merch: Redbubble.com/people/cultofmuscle/shop   Liftage: 0:00:0 - 1:07:35 The Stick: 1:09:30 - 1:28:35 Smokin Aces: 1:29:55 - 2:00:55 Feedback: 2:00:55 - END

(NOTE: CD-R's a fool and forgot to fade the intro music this week. He apologizes profusely for the abrasive and obnoxious music playing over the opening minutes of the show. WHATTA LAME!)  The Cult is back with another episode and this week we dive headlong into a couple of hard boiled crime flicks 30 years apart. We kick things off with a look at the Bobby Duvall Parker adaptation, The Outfit (1973) and then find out how long a Chinaman's name is in David Mamet's Heist (2001).
