    The Film Class Zeros are wandering into town with a guitar case filled with… Movies? This episode's subject is Desperado, the 1995 action hit by Robert Rodriguez. It's a flick with lots going on: Big, bombastic shoot-outs, Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek trying to out sexy each other, and Danny Trejo being the baddest dude in a whole town of bad dudes.

    We revisit this trope-tastic mid-eighties Stallone-powered shoot-em-up and try to decide if it's an earnest attempt at a serious crime drama or an action film parody. Either way, we get Shao Kahn and Sledgehammer in the same movie! Melons get wrecked, matches get chewed, and Sgt. Gonzalez isn't real.

    Boogie-woogie! We take a look at the 1992 Whoopi Goldberg comedy about a Reno lounge singer placed in witness protection amongst a convent of nuns who can't sing.

See you in the Bronx!
