BucketCast: Episode 8


On today's BucketCast, Michael "Retrospectives" Lester and I discuss the movies of David Carradine (1936-2009).

We focus on Boxcar Bertha and Death Race 2000, both made at the beginning of Carradine's long and (mostly) successful film career. His characters in these films are two of his most iconic.

There's also some talk of Kill Bill and "Kung Fu", as I promised when teasing the show.

Hope you enjoy this special episode, and we love your questions and comments. Send them to webmaster@bucketreviews.com or message the Twitter handle "bucketreviews". One note: do not e-mail us because Michael accidentally said "Roger Shaw" rather than "Robert Shaw" -- he was still marinating on our discussion of Roger Corman and the correction is duly noted.

And, if you haven't already, please subscribe to the BucketCast on iTunes. And rate it 5-stars. I'm sure Carradine would have wanted you to. Oh, yes, I went there.
