This week Mike, Rich and Steve tackle five new releases - as usual, click the link to watch the trailer for each film...

We kick off with THE BRICKLAYER (Sky), the latest thriller in which a man with an innocuous profession turns out to be a bad-ass retired agent!

Hot on the heels of Warblade, which we covered in episode 257, comes FORTUNES OF WAR (101 Films), another WW2 movie about a disparate group of soldiers up against a superior Nazi force. 

HEAD COUNT (Blue Finch Film Releasing) is a quirky thriller in which an escaped convict finds himself at the mercy of his own revolver and must backtrack through his memory to work out how many bullets remain...

COLD MEAT (Signature Entertainment) is a survival horror movie involving people trapped in a snow blizzard...

Finally, spritely assassin Ian McShane finds himself in Fuerteventura waiting for details about his last target, in AMERICAN STAR (Vertigo Releasing).

Our Short Shot is THE COURT JESTER, starring Pauly Shore as Richard Simmons. This is from the team behind The Samurai and the Cowboy so you know its gonna be good! Click the link to see the whole short.

We wrap things as usual with our DTV Throwback - this week its my choice, of PYEWACKET, in which a teen bites off more than she can chew when she summons an evil spirit in a moment of anger. You can find this available to stream on Amazon and other platforms.
