The Crit Club spent this week trying to ward away dread with the 1981 Hong Kong martial arts, action, comedy/horror movie Dreadnaught. This physical masterpiece tells the story of two warring schools, a sheepish launderer, and, why not, a murderous, face-painted psychopath. Directed by the legendary Yuen Woo-ping, Dreadnaught is a full on, nonstop, slapstick bonanza. Did we find it as watchable as the film certainly thinks it is? Listen to find out!

And join us next week, where Angela is picking the original 1957 western 3:10 to Yuma. All aboard!
