Flock of Seagals is changing things up.
We've done 12 episodes of FoS that we're immensely proud of, that we did without the knowledge of the recent allegations against Steven Seagal. In light of these new accusations, and learning the full breadth of what they encompass, we've decided we're not gonna give him any more publicity, however small it might have been.
However, we're keeping our RSS feed and our name for the time being, and we are still going to do what we do best on this podcast: seek out the most ill conceived and puzzlingly shot films we can find and give them the critical analysis they never deserved. Steven Seagal was our shorthand for that, but from here on out, we will be seeking out shining examples of movies where directors, actors, producers, lighting techs, audio mixers, editors, caterers et al all decided to "just show up", give it 50% and be home by 5.
And by god does 2016's The Assignment fit the bill on that account. Directed by Walter Hill (director of The Warriors, producer on all the Alien films), The Assignment sees Michelle Rodriguez as Frank, a male hitman who has his gender reassigned against his will by Sigourney Weaver as revenge for assassinating Weaver's brother. The film features about 20 minutes of Michelle Rodriguez as a 110 pound male with a generous endowment, Sigourney quoting Poe to Shalhoub and not one, but two characters using flashbacks as framing devices. It’s also the grittiest Toronto has ever looked.
We hope you'll come with us through this change, as we're really excited about making more great podcasts about bad movies, not bad people.
