668. Escape From Alcatraz (1979)

*The Warlock is in The Grand Wizard’s Palace holding a Mega Pint of Dr. Pepper*

W: Welcome to my father’s palace for another edition of Warlock’s Movie Realm. Tonight we will be watching a movie he personally recommended. The 1979 drama ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ. Its pretty much based on a true story of how someone actually escaped from The Rock.

*Warlock takes his seat on the couch*

W: Clint Eastwood movies usually deliver so we’ll see how this goes. So grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ.
