To honor one of the best character actors of the Grindhouse Era, the recently passed John Saxon, my lab monkey and I view the thriller The Glove...and come across their first ‘bait-and-switch.’ Watch us try to figure out why this relatively bloodless, flatly directed character study about a former baseball player turned bounty hunter got promoted as a brutal thriller with a vague blaxploitation angle! Marvel as we discuss Rosey Grier, meat-slapping fights, the gorgeousness of Joanna Cassidy and, since we were not so keen on the film, a forty minute talk about the Monkees, the role of novelty in heavy metal music, ‘new’ country and Bad Religion!Put on your funky hat and join us here.
