Ep# 16 - A Heroic Trio of Female Prisoner Scorpions

Podcasts
Written By Jenna Ipcar

After being subjected to Jerry Lewis movies, Carlo challenges Jenna to watch some of his favorite action and exploitation films from Hong Kong and Japan. Specifically, they talk about The Heroic Trio (1993), Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion (1972) and Female Prisoner Scorpion: Jailhouse 41 (1972). All three feature kickass women saving the day and getting some sweet, sweet revenge on evil men. They also fit perfectly into the live-action cartoon style that both Jenna and Carlo appreciate.

A new episode of Notes From the Back Row will be released every other week.
