Podcaster and longtime New Yorker Elana Levin is here to talk about the 1979 semi-sci fi classic street gang film, The Warriors. NYC geography as plot element, the importance of branding to street warfare, the real New York versus the mythical/cinematic New York, and what people miss about costuming (not just in this film, but in comics too). We also talked about the idea of a Warriors comic, and Elana wants me to add Ronald Wimberly as a candidate for writer/artist, which I totally agree with. New INTO IT art by Lauren Moran.
