This week we welcome Dan Epstein onto the episode to discuss Walter Hill's cult action classic, The Warriors. And as Dan is a connoisseur of all things 70s, pop-culture and baseball, he relays to us a plethora of interesting anecdotes, such as Dock Ellis' no-hitter, NY in the 70s, his love of The Warriors and much more!
