Our month of requests wraps up with one from our mutual pal Andy Hendrickson, it's Julien Temple's Bullet from 1996. The film stars Mickey Rourke as the titular Bullet, an ex-con back on the streets and reunited with his dysfunctional family. Or is the movie really about Bullet's brother, Ruby, played by Adrien Brody?

Chris Stachiw and Father Malone join Mike to discuss the film while co-screenwriter (the inspiration for Ruby) spills the beans about the making of Bullet.
