Cinema Beef Burnt Ends : Cockfighter (1974)

Cinema Beef is back to give you a morsel of the chicken persuasion. Cameron and Gary discuss Monte Hellman’s controversial tale of one man’s passion for the fowl in Cockfighter from 1974. Warren Oates stars as Frank who is a mute who’s only motivation is his next hustle and this brutal sport that pits rooster vs. rooster. We will discuss this great character study with an unfortunate penchant for animal cruelty. If you are sensitive about this subject, we apologize ahead of time. The beef is back!
