Shot Caller is absurdly rewatchable. I have no idea why but it's amazing.

Love Bill and CR!! Hadn't even heard of Shot Caller, but immediately watched the movie so I could really enjoy the pod. Thanks for the exposure to movies I haven't heard of, or would never normally want to see!

Doesn't shy away from the anything: the violence, the threat of sexual assault, the racial politics, the after effects of the people around him.

Solid episode. The Triple Frontier plug at the end was perfect. That film needs to be in the mix for a rewatchable. Super underrated and missed by many. Easily one of Affleck’s best roles.

Felon w/ Stephen Dorf and Val Kilmer is pretty good for a low budget flick if you can find it. If you like Vince Vaughn, Dragged across Concrete and Arkansas are both really good

Never been to prison, But I’ve had friends that had. I can say this, Shotcaller is the best prison movie I’ve seen!!!! And My friends also say the same. They say the politics are close but the same. The movie based in CA, I’m From TX and my people did time in Tx, Huntsville. I just had a friend pass away back in February. He told me before he passed, while he was in the pen, he got in a fight, whooped the dudes ass, Mexican, BUT he kneed the dude in the face after he beat him and dude accepted defeat. He told me Not to do that if I ever go, Because he had to handle business afterwards because he did dude dirty. I never knew that. I thought it was Do whatever to survive, But before he passed he spit game to me. It’s not all about that, There’s politics, There’s a time to do things, and a time to wait and retaliate. Issacs laws, there’s an equal and opposite reaction to every action taken. Maybe not today, maybe not next month or even next year! BUT, Karma will come back around, And it’ll bite ya

I loved "Ein Prophet" called "A prophet" which was earlier (a bit better) and Shot Caller instantly reminded me on that one when I saw it first a few years ago. If you do not know A prophet, I think it is a french film, just watch it. Recommended! ...and by the way I like Shot Caller

Was waiting for this one - love this movie! How about Animal Factory for the prison movie HOF pyramid. Always felt similar to OZ in approach...also based on the book by Edward Bunker, who went from lifer to novelist to Mr. Blue in Reservoir Dogs. An American legend.

Would love to hear you guys thoughts on Edwards James Olmos' great but brutal entry into the genre, American Me (1992.) Supposedly the Mexican Mafia put a fatwa on Olmos and he had to pay them $1million to call it off.

FINALLY doing shot caller I bought this on Amazon Prime on a whim after hearing about it on a pod and it was pretty incredible. Especially since I am a young professional who was stupid enough to get a DUI when I was younger :/ Easily could’ve killed someone and ended up in prison. Although I’m pretty sure I would just get sexually assaulted and not become a gang leader lol

Bill's guesses at blood alcohol content are way, way off. A 180 lb man can have three drinks in one hour and be below a 0.08 BAC. Three drinks in three hours is basically dead sober. You burn off a drink every hour. For a 180lb man to blow a 0.10 BAC he would have to have at least seven drinks in three hour, more like eight or nine. This is assuming you're drinking the standard 12 oz beer, 5 oz wine, and 1.5 oz 80 proof hard liquor cocktail or shot.
