This week in RetroNots, we're going to the happiest place on Earth!

Coney Island!

Welcome to RetroNots! We are here and we are talking about the Warriors! This is a Patreon request episode. Thank you very much to Alan Berry who requested this topic.

And it's um, at first glance you're kind of like the Warriors, that was a movie, right? Yes, it was a movie. It continues to be a movie.

It's a, it's a, let's say, cult popular movie, but I think it had a lot of influence in the sphere of video games.

And of course it was a video game, but we'll get to that topic. Let's talk to our guests because we've got three wonderful people here joining me.

Oh, I'm Diamond Fight, by the way. Hello. And let's start with a previous guest who's been in Japan, who's here in Japan with me.

We're not with you, but I've been to Pan. Hi, this, this is James Eldon and I can dig it. Yes.

And how about we have two guests joining us from the state of California?

Yeah, this is true. I'm Michael Reparis.

Long time retro, not solicitors might know me from years ago. I was on a few episodes with Bob and Jeremy, but I run a show called Vigigame Apocalypse that you can find at Vigigameapocalypse.com.

And I'm Diana Goodman from 30, 2010, where we look at movies and TV and music 30 years ago, 20 years ago, and 10 years ago we started too early to talk about the Warriors. And that's not fair.

Oh, no. Yeah. Well, that's part of why I built in like we do a classic corner of things that are like more than 30 years ago, entirely so I could just cover stuff that I like.

Always always worthwhile because yes, thanks. So thank you very much, Michael and Diana and James. Thank you so much because this is, you know, it's a move about gangs. We got to get we got to get a gang here to talk about the gang movie, right?

I can't just do this one myself. So I guess the first thing we should always do in a topic like this is just share our personal histories with the Warriors because I think everyone here might have been alive when the movie opened, but certainly far too young to see. No, not your James to two young.

I will all fly about five months.

Okay.

But in any case, we were all too young to see it in the theaters. So I'm very curious how we all discovered. Let's start. Let's start with you, Michael.

Yeah, I guess I could would have been old enough to see it in theaters, but I would have been like the crying baby that and people wonder why their parents bring them there in the first place.
