Fanacek | Through the Shattered Lens

It has been a while since the “This Week in Charles Bronson” podcast has dropped a new episode focused on a specific Charles Bronson film. That ends today as our episode on the excellent 1973 badass cop film THE STONE KILLER is here for your listening pleasure. Join me and our host Eric Todd, along with special guests “Fanacek” (who hosts one of my very favorite pop culture podcasts) and on-line film critic Robert Baum, as we discuss the film from many different facets. You never know what rabbit holes we’ll go down, what theories we’ll share, or which crazy directions the conversation may head. We’re just fans of Charles Bronson, movies and TV shows, and we love to share that with each other and all of you.

One of the best things about THE STONE KILLER is its incredible cast. Besides Charles Bronson, we get the opportunity to dive off into the careers of cast members like Three’s Company alums John Ritter and Norman Fell, Oscar winner Martin Balsam, the Incredible Hulk‘s nosy reporter Jack Colvin, Papa Walton, and even B-movie queen Roberta Collins. Plus, many more!

So, if you have a little time on your hands, and you think it might be fun to listen to some extremely cool folks (or maybe movie nerds depending on your way of thinking) talking about Charles Bronson’s THE STONE KILLER, I’ve linked to the YouTube version below. It’s also available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!

I don’t know how many of you enjoy listening to podcasts, but I joined a Facebook group back in 2021 focused on the actor Charles Bronson. The group is called the “This Week in Charles Bronson: Podcast.” We focus on Bronson, but the page is really just a springboard for all kinds of pop culture discussions. Well, one of the things we do is periodically produce podcasts focused on Bronson’s movies, the actors who are in them, the directors, the stunt people… you name it, we discuss it. I’ve been lucky enough to meet actors and actresses who’ve worked with Bronson, authors who write about Bronson, and most importantly, people just like me all over the world who love Charles Bronson. It’s been such a fun experience in my life.

Today, I’m sharing just a snippet from one of our podcasts where we discuss the excellent opening sequence of Bronson’s 1972 action classic, THE MECHANIC! If you like what you hear, listen to the full episode and our back catalogue of episodes on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc. Heck, we’d love you to join our Facebook page and get involved. That’s all I did! Before you know it, you could be part of the show! Enjoy my friends!
