We're kicking off #JuneBOOM with a cap gun as we bravely tackle 1985’s STAND ALONE, a movie that dares to ask: what if DEATH WISH had a smaller budget, barely any action, and Charles Durning hanging around a diner for 90 minutes?

STAND ALONE stars Charles Durning as Louis Thibadeau (a name you will hear repeated too many times in this film) as a former WW2 veteran who won't back down from violent drug dealers that look to take over his neighborhood. If your definition of "not backing down" is willingly putting yourself in harm's way with little-to-no plan, then STAND ALONE is right up your alley. Along the way, we meet Louis's longtime friend and attorney, Cathryn, played by Pam Grier, and Detective Isgrow, a well-meaning but otherwise lazy cop played by fan-favorite, James Keach from LOVE LETTERS.

We are joined for this episode by Ryan Verrill, host of The Disc Connected podcast and the Executive Director of Someone’s Favorite Productions Podcast Network. Together, we try to make sense of Cathryn's (Pam Grier) fashion choices, Mrs. Whitehead's (Lu Leonard) solo neighborhood watch program and Durning’s impressive refusal to run under any circumstances. We also get into hard hitting discussions about proper home wiring, the proper way to break into a house in Los Angeles and the glory days of the Toyota Tercel which was a pretty sweet car if we're being honest.

Finally, we introduce a new podcast, The Map-Cast, where we talk about locations of things in the world. Coming soon.
