This week, Blake and Joe dig into George Armitage’s second feature film, Hit Man (1972), as we continue our exploration into the filmographies of the cast and crew that make up Grosse Pointe Blank. Joe and Blake dig into this blaxploitation flick discussing the inherent problems of the genre and the film’s adaptation of the 1970 novel by Ted Lewis originally entitled Jack’s Return Home. We also talk about the nature of misogyny, the white gaze, the ethics of filming animals, and so much more! We hope you enjoy it. And, remember, this podcast is us…breathing.
