"Turn the right corner in Sin City, and you can find anything..."

On this episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE NOUGHTIES (or 00s if you're into the whole brevity thing), Devon Elson revisits the old days, the bad days, the all or nothing days. 2005 that is where the dark and miserable Basin City houses three anti-heroes capable of great violence with the will to fight against the overwhelming corruption. It's an all star cast all hanging out on a greenscreen, it's Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's Sin City!

His special guest this week is Mark Adams! A wrestling commentator, celebrant, and podcaster at Shipwrecked & Comatose, It's Reel to Me Damnit, and ChuckyVision... yes, Mark's my co-host over on my other show!

Together they traverse through the grit and grime of this explosive noir tale to praise the A-list actors, tackle all the controversial R-rated subject matter, Robert Rodriguez's cheap, fast, and beautiful direction, and find any opportunity to take pot shots at the disappointing sequel!
