SHOWNOTES: Greetings, Collateral Cinema fans! Today, we turn to our cohost Frankie Avila to choose our featured film, and let's just say he threw us a curveball: Ilya Naishuller's groundbreaking first-person action/sci-fi flick Hardcore Henry. This one was a bit challenging, folks; host Beau Maddox found the movie a bit boring near the end, yet Frankie made his case for the daring stuntwork, innovative directing/cinematography, and the sheer originality of it all. Join us, as we unpack everything there is to see in this crazy Russian-American production!

Note: due to technical difficulties, we were unable to include any movie clips or music from this film. We will have our full production back in time for our 4/20 episode featuring How High.
