Geek and the Cop

The boys take down John Carpenter's ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13. This one is a mean jam but all kinds of cool and totally unique in Carpenter's filmography. Speaking of which, we also talk about the director's Top 5 films of all-time. Press play and listen to Detective Andy talk about what AoP13 gets right, and what it gets wrong.(spoiler: it's a lot of wrong, like, the wrongiest we've done.)

And Dredd? Yeah, he ain't buyin'. So report for duty and press play. WARNING: We also talk about Stallone's DREDD, but to make up for that we also talk JOHN WICK, THE RAID, and GI JOE (?).
