They can Lock Up your body, but not your mind

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas get transferred to Gateway Prison, where they witness the evil warden subjecting a fellow inmate to some hard time because he previously broke out of another prison under his watch, which resulted in him being forced to run this horrible prison... or something...

It's the penultimate episode of the BREAKING THE LAW, BREAKING THE LAW arc, and we are looking at the forgotten Sylvester Stallone prison film, LOCK UP (1989), also starring Donald Sutherland, Tom Sizemore, Sonny Landham, Frank McRae and a cameo from Danny Trejo. It's kind of like Rocky but set in prison, and not nearly as good.

Join us, as we talk the silly plot, a random football scene, building cars and more Sly Stallone bombs, as we near the end of our prison sentence. It's actually a pretty fun film, that was lost in the shuffle of the late-80s, where Sly also released another more successful film that had some prison sequences with Tango & Cash. Don't sleep on it for a good laugh...

"Your body has to be here, but your mind can be anywhere."
