We continue Burt Reynolds Month with an entry into Reynold's rather large catalog of cop films that stands out since Reynolds himself directing it: Sharky's Machine. Starring Reynolds and a cavalcade of fantastic character actors, Reynolds plays the titular Sharky, a disgraced cop who stumbles upon a political conspiracy. With some strange choices, both style, and substance, it's more than just a cop film, for both the good and bad. Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallager, screenwriter Richard Hatem, and The Projection Booth's Mike White join Chris to talk about the film, the cast, and its strange sense of style.
