Episode 32 - By Any Other Name


Episode 32 of the podcast shows us being too clever for our own good. Two films, both about hitmen, both with the word "mechanic" in the title, and both starring two legendary tough guys.  Surely they must both be excellent, right?  Listen in and find out just how wrong we were as we talk about 1977's Satanic Mechanic starring Lee Van Cleef ( more commonly known as The Perfect Killer ) and 1972's The Mechanic starring the amazing Charles Bronson and directed by show-favorite Michael Winner.  The storylines from these two films are very similar but the quality is worlds-apart.  We had a great time talking about both though.  Please let us know what you thought of the show by sending email to flickersfrom@yahoo.com  or flickersfrom@gmail.com or, if you'd prefer, leave a message over at our Facebook page.
