Discussion: Flesh + Blood and Blind Fury
As much as we appreciate these movies, this is the first episode Rob and Jordan feel it is necessary to issue a content warning for. We don't go into graphic detail, but FLESH + BLOOD itself contains graphic depictions of rape and sexual assault and so, naturally, our discussion must grapple with that reality. Spoiler alert, we still recommend the movie with massive caveats. Thankfully, BLIND FURY is much less potentially triggering, so consider it and our discussion of it your reward for making it through the first half of the episode. We hope you do take the time to listen if you can, because despite their problems, Rutger Hauer absolutely shines in both movies. And don't worry, we guarantee the next pairing will be much, much less harrowing! You can also listen to the Forgotten Film Pod and all CineEFFeries on iTunes, Stitcher, and most pod-catchers near you.
