Welcome to the season premiere of Cinedicate. This season we are taking a trip to the Grindhouse Theater to take a peek into the exotic world of independent film. This week, I am accompanied by fellow podcaster Hector from Re:Shoot to watch the 2011 film, Drive Angry.

Listen to us make fun of Nicolas Cage as an off-brand, White-Trash version, of Ghostrider as he breaks out of Hell to seek revenge on a doomsday cult for killing his family. All while joining forces with the southern belle, Amber Heard as they evade law enforcement and a demon simply known as The Accountant. We are definitely making this film sound a lot cooler than it really is. Join us as we redeem our tickets to the Grindhouse.
