🎙️ EPISODE 544: 08.31.22 This Italian "inspires by true events" crime thriller had my BPM raging in the final act. It's been awhile since I found myself so viscerally rooting for a protagonist to win, but that's where I was during the epic multi-part sequence of Marcello (the "dogman") vs. Simone (the ruthless town bully/thug). In hindsight this movie poster on the left sort of gives things away, doesn't it? Anyway, don't look at the movie poster. Even though I'm pretty sure you already did. Shit, probably shouldn't have even mentioned the movie poster. Now you're studying it. Ah well, too bad my delete button is broken on this keyboard. There's only moving forward. I'm sorry. This is a HIGH 9, and one of the best films of 2018, no doubt.
