Guns Akimbo has been a meme for so long that it’s been pretty easy to forget that it’s an actual film that exists and that will be happening to (some of) our eyes in just a couple of months time, but having only popped up at Fantastic Fest last year to some bemused reviews, this upcoming potential eyesore is sure to be catnip to those of us who find ourselves ferociously defending the likes of Shoot ‘Em Up and Nerve in polite company....
