Welcome back to Retro Blood! In Episode 138, we kick off our "Bad Cop 1980s Month" with the return of J.A. Allison to the podcast. Join the boys as they dive into the cult classic Maniac Cop, featuring the dynamic duo of Tom Atkins and Bruce Campbell.

We begin with our signature history segment, exploring the world of pro wrestling and metal music around the release date of May 13, 1988. Discover what was happening at a WWF house show and dive into the iconic metal album Operation: Mindcrime by Queensrÿche.

Next, we delve into the film's background, discussing director Larry Cohen and the various filming locations for Maniac Cop. Learn about Tom Atkins' role and Bruce Campbell's thoughts on working on this project. We also share behind-the-scenes details about the production.

In our full movie review, we unpack the film's plot, including Jack Forrest being accused of being the killer cop, Tom Atkins' character McCrae getting thrown from a window, and the terrifyingly disfigured cop, Matt Cordell.
