Like we said last week, there are casual fans, and there are dedicated fans. The dedicated ones don’t just stop at one chance to watch or talk about the thing or individual they love. They go for more. Our source of Sylvester Stallone fandom is back on the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast sponsored by the Ruminations Radio Network.

For their 87th episode, two grizzled film critics, two mad-bomber dads, and two disco-dancing school teachers Will Johnson and Don Shanahan welcome back Lauren Knight of L.A. Knight Consulting for a back-to-back Sylvester Stallone love fest. Last time, it was new Sly for Samaritan. This time, they dig back to 1981’s Nighthawks where a Stallone beard and Rutger Hauer, in his American debut, steal the show. Listen to wear this terrorist thriller ranks for our gathered talkers. Come for the shared challenge and tirade and stay for the mutual love and respect for the fun movies encapsulate.
