The ReconCinemation team is back and they're getting controversial with a look back at Dennis Hopper's COLORS! Jon, David & Brent take a deep dive into many racial tones of the 1988 film. From incredible performances by Sean Penn & Robert Duvall to Dennis Hopper's return to the Director's chair to gang violence in LA in the mid-80s to the many familiar faces in the cast (Don Cheadle! Mario Lopez!) and more! Plus, our early memories of the film, Penn's volatile lifestyle at the time (and why Jon used to be afraid of him), where this falls in Duvall's career and how this story, told from a white, pro-police, anti-gang perspective holds up in 2021.
Two cops. Two gangs. Three Podcasters. One hell of a war... it's COLORS!

When there's a killer on the loose and buddy cops are required, only the two of the baddest podcasters in the biz can get to the bottom of it. This week, Jon & David explore the undervalued SHOOT TO KILL! From a look back at Sidney Poitier's legendary career to his break from acting and return to it in this film, to Tom Berenger's hot streak in the 80s to where this film falls in the buddy cop sub-genre to the racial undertones (or lack thereof) in the film, it's all covered here! Plus Clancy Brown, Kirstie Alley, a particularly shocking scene, early memories & how the film holds up today!
A ruthless killer. One hostage. Two men following them into the mountains. And two podcast hosts who may have to... SHOOT TO KILL!
