The Old Guard – Cinema Eclectica Podcast 264

Archaeon 22/07/2020

A tale of two action movies on this week’s Eclectica. On the one hand, you have the huge Netflix-funded star vehicle The Old Guard, starring Charlize Theron and Chiwetel Ejiofor. On the other, you have the smaller, foreign-language judo film Throw Down, directed by Johnnie To and released on Blu-Ray by Eureka Masters of Cinema.

Still, other than that, we’ve also got a fun Question of the Week about villains you want to recast. This podcast may not be suitable for Jesse Eisenberg.
