Hosts Scott and Craig take a look at the Robert Rodriguez action classic "Desperado."
Over the course the episode we talk about what a blast this bare bones actioner still is, how in Rodriguez films the "Rule of Cool" is always paramount and how Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek are one of the most beautiful pairings ever put on screen.
Plus, we get into whether this film is a remake or sequel, Tarantino's acting chops and how the El Mariachi character evolves over the course of the Mexico trilogy.

Host Scott is joined by special guest Craig Cohen to deep dive into the cyberpunk oddity that is Johnny Mnemonic!
Over the course of the episode we talk about the behind the scenes creative fight between director and studio, the films fascinating production design and whether the film deserves to be the punchline it became? We also get in how Keanu's performance is better than perceived, the weirdness of Dolph Lundgren's performance and how hilariously antiquated some of the movie's technological predictions seem. Oh yeah, we also of course talk about the dolphin.

Host Scott is joined by special guest Liam H Dempsey to deep dive (pun very much intended) into Tony Scott's submarine classic "Crimson Tide."
Over the course of the episode we talk about whether this is Tony Scott's best movie, whether it is the best submarine movie ever and how the film seems even better now than it did back in the 90s. Plus, we get into the messy business of how the script got completed (and Tarantino's weird contribution to it), how the navy were not a fan of this production and, of course, we talk extensively about the heavyweight act-off between the late, great Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington.

Host Scott is joined by special returning guest film director Adam Stovall ("A Ghost Awaits") to talk about the JCVD Die Hard knock-off "Sudden Death."
Over the course of the episode Adam and Craig express their multiple disgruntlements while Scott tries in vain to defend it as not just a fun movie, but a good one. However, their is one thing that they can all agree on and that is the greatness of Powers Boothe in the film. Plus, we dive way more into Ice Hockey history than anyone was expecting for a brief period.

Host Scott is joined by special returning guest Adam Thornton (Films That Time Forgot) to talk about the biggest action movie of 1995 "Die Hard with a Vengeance".
Over the course of the episode we talk about the great chemistry between Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson, Jeremy Irons epic turn as the the villain of the piece and how this didn't start life as a Die Hard film at all. Plus, we talk about both this place in the Die Hard franchise and its place in 90s action cinema (Hint: It ranks highly in both).

Host Scott is joined by special guest Scott Kraushaar & Steve Smith (Dropping A Bruce and The Men of Action Podcast. Also because Scott is a podcasting maniac he also hosts The Church of Tarantino and Kill/Marry/Smash/Eat) to chat about an obscure East meets West Christopher Lambert action thriller " The Hunted."
Over the course of the episode we talk about how the film avoids many of the pitfalls of the "Japanes panic" action films of the late 80s/early 90s while simultaneously falling over into the white saviour trap. We debate whether Christopher Lambert is the best lead for the film, talk about how wasted Joan Chen is and dissect the films one truly excellent action sequence set on a Bullet Train.

Host Scott is joined by special guest Nathaniel Metcalfe (The JCAS Presents: Nick and Nat Control The Airwaves and The JCAS Present-Nick & Nat Consume and Obey) to dissect one of the most iconic actioners of 1995, Bad Boys!
Over the course of the episode we talk about the divisiveness of Michael Bay, how he feels like he is doing Tony Scott impersonation here and the early shoots of what come to be known as Bayhem. Plus, we get into the insane chemistry of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, 90s actions love of a colour and how we both agree (even if we are in the minority) that Bad Boys II is the worst entry in the franchise.

We once again kick off our new season with our 4th Annual Edition of Chanuary and, if that was not good enough, we also have an extra special guest in the form of one of our favourite movie reviewers Outlaw Vern .
Over the course of the episode we break down the typically insane Chan action on display, discuss how this differs a bit from Chan's usual stuff and debate why this ended up being the one that broke him big in the west.

Hosts Scott and Craig share a love for action comedies and thought it would be fun to cover one they have never seen before. Enter Stephen Chow one of true comedy action masters and one of his early Hong Kong hits "Love on Delivery"
Over of the course of the episode we talk about how we might be stretching the definition of action movie here (this film is way more of a comedy), how the "Garfield" fight scene might be one of the funniest things and ponder why this struggled to make an impression in the West at the time.

Hosts Scott and Craig tackle one of the best action films of not only 1994 but the '90s in general. Over the course of the episode we dive into the epic overacting of Oldman, the coolness of Reno and just how impressive Portman's performance is, given her age at the time.
Elsewhere, we tackle the controversies of the film (involving Mathilda and Leons relationship) and the director (both his controversial marriage with Maïwenn and later SA allegations made against him).

Over the course the episode we talk about what giddy fun this film is, how stacked the cast is and just how charming Mel was in the the 90s (and how that makes all his later controversies all the more dispiriting than they already were).
