A.I. EP. 107: “I’ll Take Pleasure In Guttin’ You Boy” - The Rock 25th Anniversary Episode

25 years ago there was a hostage takeover during a tour of Alcatraz and the only people who could help were Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery. It’s a perfect scenario for a super entertaining film and we were so excited to do an episode on The Rock.

Our good buddy Benny Elledge came back on the pod fresh after his leading role feature film debut in Kringle Time, which can be seen at www.brooklynfilmfestival.org. He brought along a friend of his, who is now a friend of ours, Adam “Renegade” Wilson. We had such a good time talking to these two about this memorable action flick.

We end this episode with an Imitation Game and our Patrons can hear us draft our Top 5 Favorite Hostage Films.

Enjoy The Rock!
