As The Shawshank Redemption turns 30, Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode explore life behind bars as seen on screen, investigating how film and TV have shaped our ideas about the prison system. Why do prisons make such good settings for cinema? Ellen investigates the relationship between prison exploitation and prison reform, talking to director S Craig Zahler about his ultra-violent 2017 film Brawl In Cell Block 99 and the movies that inspired it, from Birdman of Alcatraz to Riot in Cell Block 11. And she speaks to Dr Kalima Young about the impact of Netflix's hit series about a women's prison, Orange Is The New Black. Meanwhile, Mark talks to writer and broadcast Richard Weight about the enduring relevance of the classic British sitcom Porridge. And he speaks to 'the daddy' of prison dramas - Ray Winstone - about the impact of his breakout role as a borstal boy in the controversial, banned TV play Scum.Producer: Jane Long A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4

Ben & Rob finish their trilogy of contemporary grindhouse with S Craig Zahler's final movie ‘Dragged Across Concrete'. Starring famously disgraced racist Mel Gibson alongside Vince Vaughn as two suspended cops stealing money from a heist that's not yet happened. Universally ignored upon it's release by both festivals and wider audiences, ‘Dragged Across Concrete' lost almost all of its budget yet ended up briefly being the most streamed film on Netflix. Zahler's grimly dark eye as director delighted us in his previous outings (Bone Tomahawk, Brawl In Cellblock 99) but has he gone too far with his latest grindhouse genre-piece? Has Ben finally found a exploitation cinema series that Rob loves 100% of? And is there hope for Mel Gibson's career after an unforgivable string of disgusting anti-semitism, racism and misogyny? No, and we don't even consider for a second there could be. No film is good enough for us to forgive Mel Gibson. PLUS!

The amazing Jeff Solomon, actor, writer, extraordinaire and dear friend, comes on to talk about a real puzzle of a movie: Dragged Across Concrete. This 2018 S Craig Zahler film... we just don't know what to make of it! A compelling Mamet-esque crime film? A racist vehicle for Mel Gibson? Some looney tunes style violence passed off as realistic? Unclear! But it did get us talking! Tangents include shoplifting, being a good kid, and discussions of when film is commentating on something versus when a film is simply repeating racist tropes.
This week on Remainders we discuss the 2018 crime thriller Dragged Across Concrete. From director S. Craig Zahler (Bone Tomahawk, Brawl in Cell Block 99), Dragged stars Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn as two cops caught committing police brutality who turn to robbing criminals out of desperation. Filled with his trademark violence and considerable runtime, Dragged is a movie that further cements Zahler as one of the best working directors today.Other topics include the passing of Paul Reubens, Rodriguez and William Friedkin, Jon Hamm and his jump from drama to comedy, the Meg 2 and how bad shark movies can get, A24's Talk to Me, violence in film, Peter Jackson commentaries, the best time of the day to watch grindhouse movies, and the perennial favorite Cool as Ice.Songs of the WeekLove Must Have Passed Me By, by Bobby VeeDen minsta av segrar, by 1900I'll Slip Away, by RodriguezRemainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

Live from Golgotha it is the PNAC boys. We celebrate Easter the only way we know how, by dipping into Mel Gibson's deranged Bush era snuff film The Passion of Christ. Plus this time around we are also talking S Craig Zahler, Terri Schiavo, Left Behind along with holding Mel accountable for some frankly unbelievably antisemitic content. In 2 weeks we have returning champion/sexual chess master PD joining us to talk Zach Snyder's Watchmen and Ben is so ready to be yelled at.
This is a rare treat for the 5th Wall - Jarod has picked a movie that neither Mike or Clay has ever seen before! Bone Tomahawk premiered at Fantastic Fest in 2015 and had a very (VERY) limited release. As you can imagine, it has garnered cult status for those who have seen it. Bone Tomahawk is a western first and foremost, but it shares the "wilderness horror" genre with another podcast favorite (The Witch). Bone Tomahawk was directed by S Craig Zahler and stars Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox and Richard Jenkins.
Friend of the show and co-host of the Rare Candy podcast Glen Rockney joins the boys to discuss the career of who we think is the best American filmmaker to emerge in the 2010s, S. Craig Zahler. Discussing all three of his films — Bone Tomahawk, Brawl in Cell Block 99, and Dragged Across Concrete — the trio pinpoints the artistically interesting formal qualities that have separated Zahler from his contemporaries as one of the emerging film artists to celebrate: extreme length, genre subversion, hyperviolence, dialog, and more. They also try and parse Zahler's unique ideological viewpoint that seems to cross a Marxian critique of political economy with dissident right and conservative analysis of the lost values in American life. The career of Mel Gibson is also given the once-over. We also briefly discuss the low energy cancellation of Dom Fernow.

On the 58th episode of Piecing It Together, Chad Clinton Freeman is back again to talk about S Craig Zahler's controversial Dragged Across Concrete. Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn star as a couple of racist cops who lose their job after being filmed using excessive force during an arrest. To provide for their families they hatch a plan to rob drug dealers and things go wrong, fast. Puzzle pieces include Trespass, The Dark Knight, The Nice Guys and Training Day.
This week’s episode of Truth & Movies is double hard-boiled, as Michael Leader, Sophie Monks Kaufman and Adam Woodward inspect S Craig Zahler’s button-pushing slowburn procedural, Dragged Across Concrete, and, in Film Club, Don Siegel’s classic cop thriller from 1971, Dirty Harry. Sandwiched in between is an altogether less serious film, Neil Jordan’s New York psychodrama Greta, in which Isabelle Huppert stalks an unsuspecting Chloë Grace Moretz.

In the latest episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, Simon looks at a pair of films that found their own way around the American movie system. Drew Barrymore was in her 20s when she launched her own production company - but she was determined it wouldn't be a vanity operation. Never Been Kissed was its first movie. Writer-director S Craig Zahler, meanwhile, went outside the traditional Hollywood distribution system - and helped rebuild Vince Vaughn's career - with Brawl In Cell Block 99. Stories of both are discussed in this episode. Find Simon on Twitter at @simonbrew, and the podcast can be found at @filmstoriespod. You can find the Film Stories website here.

This episode of Justice & Doom Movie reviews, Now Streaming: BRAWL ON CELL BLOCK 99. A former boxer (Vaughn) loses his job as an auto mechanic, and his troubled marriage to wife is about to expire. At this crossroads in his life, he feels that he has no better option than to work as a drug courier. He soon finds himself in a gunfight between police officers and his own ruthless allies. When the smoke clears, Bradley is badly hurt and thrown in prison, where his enemies force him to commit acts of violence that turn the place into a savage battleground. BRAWL IN CELL BLOCK 99 is new from Writer/Director S Craig Zahler (BONE TOMAHAWK). It stars Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter), Don Johnson, and Marc Blucas. Some have hailed this film as Vince Vaughn's TAKEN, maybe so but BRALW IN CELL BLOCK 99 is far superior film. S Craig Zahler is a master at weaving strong character development into shocking violence and horror. This film will surprise you with how gory it gets. It's a bit of a slow build but Vaughn's performance keeps you engaged. It's truly a career defining role for Vaughn, the one we wished he gave us in True Detective Season 2. For Vaughn's performance, the story and character development and for pulling no punches, we give this film much Justice. 8.5 For more movie reviews visit www.thehmcnetwork.com
