Episode 157 - Hammer (1972)

Cooper and Nolan are hitting the nail on the head this week when they cover HAMMER!

This early Blaxploitation movie about a boxer who gets mixed up with the mob features many of the elements that would become staples of the genre, from flashy fashion choices to bizarre nightclub performances to the funky soundtrack. But it also features some genuinely good acting and a surprisingly nuanced take on early 70s social politics.

You'd think that might cause the guys to take things more seriously than they normally do, but they still end up on tangents about soaking, hitting guys to death in the face, and what life was REALLY like in the 70s.

All that plus a beer chug bet makes for a lot to look forward to; this episode (featuring a beer from Mascot Brewery) is ready to step into the ring!
