Description

Another month means another theme on the old Watchcast, and this month's was voted on by our patrons! They chose "Some Guys Are Coming to Kill Us", and to kick things off we've turned to a familiar and favorite director in John Carpenter and his '70s exploitation classic, Assault on Precinct 13!
