Hosts Josh and Jamie discuss partially-autobiographical prison dramas about the cruel, dehumanizing conditions of chain gangs in the American South with a double feature of Mervyn LeRoy's bleak, pre-code, Depression-era crime saga I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG (1932) starring Paul Muni and Stuart Rosenberg's New Hollywood character study/hangout movie COOL HAND LUKE (1967) starring Paul Newman.
See you all in a week's time where we'll be back with a special guest talking about more prison/ex-con cinema: STRAIGHT TIME (1978) and RAISING ARIZONA (1987). Keep it sleazy!
