Blood In Blood Out (1993)
Blood In Blood Out Quote: “Vatos Locos forever, ese!” – Miklo Velka
“Blood In Blood Out” didn’t just open our eyes to an undiscovered crime epic, this 1993 drama changed the way Gene talks, the way Big D watches film, and the way Ash plots her stabbings.
Whether you first saw this love letter to East Los Angeles on DVD or through a mayonnaise-smeared YouTube screen, “Blood In Blood Out” hit you hard with its graphic violence, unexpected laughs, promising cast, and surprise sexuality. The action wasn’t exactly “Heat,” but it sure was fun to watch. And who could forget those plot twists spanning a three-hour runtime? It was like The Chicano Godfather.
In this episode, the Shat Crew discusses who would last longest in prison, how far family obligations go, and whether Damian Chapa ruined the movie or was the only man alive who could play Miklo Velka.”
