This week the podcast takes it to the streets, the Savage Streets that is, because we’re reviewing this 1984 action revenge tale! In this episode, we discuss the career of Linda Blair beyond The Exorcist Franchise. How did she make the transition from child star, to scream queen, to action sex symbol? Later, we discuss the finer points between a street gang and a party crew. Also, who’s story is this really? The tough as nails heroine, Brenda, or the cowardly, peer-pressured dope, Vince? Does this cookie-cutter revenge flick challenge viewers to sympathize with the young and sinful, or is it just a cheap, misguided way to fill an hour and a half? Finally, what’s the fate of Brenda after the smoke clears? We give our theories.
