  • Book Vs. Movie: The WarriorsSpecial Interview With Screenwriter & Author Rob RyderPlus, a Replay of our 2020 ep! The Margos revisit a special episode dedicated to the cult classic film *The Warriors*, based on Sol Yurick's book. Directed by Walter Hill and released in 1979, the movie was a hit but faced backlash due to real-life gang violence, leading studios to halt its promotion. It became a staple of 1980s television and is now considered a modern classic for its comic book sensibility in depicting urban decay. Yurick wrote the original story in 1965, inspired by his experiences with teenagers while working for New York City's welfare department after college. This episode includes an interview with screenwriter and author Rob Ryder, who contributed to the film and wrote *Purple Fury: Rumbling With the Warriors*.
