The Warriors (1979) – a testosterone-soaked urban male fantasy

On this week’s episode of BFGE, Sarah & Emma celebrate their annual trip to Coney Island by watching Walter Hill’s 1979 hyper-masculine New York City fairy tale, the Warriors. The film centers on a fictitious NYC street gang who must travel 30 miles from the the Bronx to their home turf on Coney Island, fighting off a bunch of kooky rivals gangs along the way, after they are framed for the murder of a charismatic gang leader. 

• The ladies discuss the best and worst gangs and all their adorable little gang aesthetics.
• Emma tells the tale of Balto, a noble dog that did NOT save New York City.
• Sarah discusses the critical reception to the film when it was released in 1979.
• Emma regrets asking Sarah for a sexy and cool gang nickname, while Sarah doubts Emma’s commitment to co-hosting the podcast.
