187 - F.I.S.T. (1978) w/ Evan Tuohy (Straight Up 003)

Disenfranchised

“What are we??”

We’re breaking formats the way that Johnny Kovak breaks down corporate corruption in the latest episode of Straight Up, the show where we basically let Tucker do whatever he wants! And this quarter, he’s chosen this 1978 Norman Jewison film featuring Sly as an upstart union leader who may or may not be Jimmy Hoffa! And we’re joined by musician and union organizer Evan Tuohy to talk Stallone’s star power, Jewison’s legend status, and devolve into a discussion on Eddie Murphy!
