All '90s Action, All The Time!

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.

Host Scott is joined by special guest and friend of the show Darryl Edge (Cage/Rage and Getting Dafoe You) to dive into one of the most obscure films we have covered on the pod "No Contest."Over the course of the episode we get into what we think of Shannon Tweed as an action star, just how closely the film sticks to the Die Hard formula (even by the standards of your average Die Hard knock-off) and the greatness of "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.

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 of the episode we talk about whether Harrison Ford is the best Jack Ryan (he is), how cool Willem Dafoe is here (very) and whether this really an action film at all (undecided but it is a damn fine film none the same).

Join your regular hosts Scott and Craig, along with their special guest director/producer Michael Peterson (Knuckleball) as they deep dive into the cult film "Judgement Night." A critical and box office bomb in its day but a movie that has picked up a solid following over the last 30 years. Over the course of the episode we discuss the films all-star cast, how this film taps into the middle class paranoia's of it's day and, of course, the films classic soundtrack.

Here at All '90s Action, All the Time sometimes we like to explore more obscure fare as well as the stone cold 90s action classics, which is exactly what we are doing today as we look at the forgotten buddy comedy "Gunmen." Granted, this selection was mainly inspired by co-host Craig Draheim's desire to cover a Christopher Lambert film but it was still a fun one to tackle. Over the course of the episode we discuss the greatness of Lambert's laugh, the OTT-ness of Patrick Stewarts acting and the peak early 90s coolness of Mario Van Peebles. Plus, we get into Dennis Leary being Dennis Leary, whether the movie deserved the critical derision it received at the time and we discover that there is more than one Doctor Dre!

Well with a brand new Super Mario Bros. coming out soon we thought it would be a perfect to go back and rewatch the original film. A movie which many may not remember as the first video game to movie adaptation. Many may also not remember at all and if they do they probably don't have great memories. But did it deserve the critical savaging it got at the time and the lasting horrid reputation it has?

Finally Craig is back!

Join us as we finish off our All '90s Bond season! This time on our whistle-stop tour of the Brosnan era (minus Die Another Day) we are looking at a somewhat maligned entry in the Bond franchise 1999's "The World is Not Enough." And this time Craig is back to his regular co-hosting duties! That is not all as we also have a great special guest in the form of film critic Adam Thornton (Thorny Reviews & The Wee Review). Over the course of the episode we discuss whether the film deserves its ropey reputation, the movie's noted departure in tone and how it provides a dry run for many elements that would be perfected in the Craig era. Plus, we get into whether this is Brosnan's best acting appearance as Bond, the daftness of Christmas Jones and the poignancy of Desmond Llewelyn's final scene in a Bond film.

Join us as we continue our All '90s Bond mini-season. This time on our whistle-stop tour of the Brosnan era (minus Die Another Day) we are looking at the oft-slighted but actually in our opinion (or well Scotts really) one of the most underrated Bond adventures "Tomorrow Never Dies." Sadly, due to being busy with super-villiany Craig could join in the fun for this one but your regular host Scott once again called on the assistance of Namely '90s Brandon Schwitter to delve into this one. Over the course the episode we debate Elliot Carver's (Jonathan Pryce) villain credentials, Bond's spying ability in this adventure and if Richard Stamper (Gotz Otto) is an under-utilised henchmen. Plus we get into how Teri Hatcher has less screen-time than you remember, it's great action set-pieces and the greatness of Michelle Yeoh.

In this show we look at what many consider to be one of the best Bonds "Goldeneye." Joining your regular hosts Scott and Craig we have a very special guest in the form of Namely 90s co-host Brandon Schwitter.

We're back! So we were not sure if we would return but we thought there were still some action movies we had to cover and how could we resist celebrating the 25th anniversary of Con Air! Joining your regular hosts Scott and Craig we have a very special guest in the form of Namely 90s co-host Brandon Schwitter. Over the course of the episode we talk about the greatness of John Malkovich's film-stealing performance, how we collectively forgot Dave Chappelle is in the film and how Cameron Poe is a superhero.

So this had been planned as a two-parter titled "Those Pesky Kids!" (the other movie we were going to cover was 1997's Masterminds) but instead will provide us with our final episode before we go on indefinite hiatus. More on that in a minute but first some details on the episode. For this last hurrah we pulled in an excellent guest in the form of fellow podcaster and Coppola family expert Petros Patsilivas to talk about a film that both him, our regular host Scott Murphy and we would guess any 90s raised martial art enthusiast have a lot of nostalgia for 3 Ninjas! Over the course of the episode Petros and Scott talked about scenery chewing villains, obvious stunt double work and the greatness of Victor Wong. Plus, they get into how this movie manages to pack in EVERY early 90s cliche, try to make sense of the villain Snyder's operation and how this film was popular enough to spawn three sequels. Lastly, Craig and I would just like to thank everyone who checked out our little podcast that allowed us to revisit some childhood action favourites and some movies we never want to watch again! It has been a blast. Hopefully we can record specials in the future. So, keep subscribed as you just never know when we will be back!

Welcome back to Chanuary! As this month we celebrate all things Jackie Chan! In our second (and final) edition of Chanuary your regular hosts Scott and Craig look at 1997's "Mr Nice Guy." Listen as the pair talk phoney Italians, incoherent plotting and Sammo Hung's women problem. Plus, we talk about YouTube subtitling issues (it subtitles the English but not the brief Mandarin parts!), cinema's most convoluted director's cameo and unsurprisingly we delve into the jaw-dropping stunt work common to Chan's Hong Kong output. Elsewhere Scott and Craig look back upon the pod and select some favourite moments before we put it on indefinite hiatus after the next episode!

It's Chanuary! Yes, for the month of January we are going to be covering two films from Jackie Chan's 90s filmography. First up we look at the 1992 classic Supercop! Listen as regular host Scott Murphy alongside guests "A Ghost Waits" director Adam Stovall and film critic and podcaster supremo Drew McWeeny (The Last 80s Newsletter) breakdown the awe-inspiring stunts of both Chan and Michelle Yeoh. We also talk about the dynamite chemistry between Yeoh and Chan, how much Hollywood stole from Chan films and just how ridiculously entertaining this film is!

Your mission if you choose to except it is to check out our latest episode diving into the 1996 De Palma classic "Mission Impossible" (before the episode self destructs!) Join your regular hosts Scott and Craig along with special guest Adam Stovall ("A Ghost Waits") as they breakdown the film's most iconic action setpieces, discuss the interesting history of the script (some of which was written on set) and the negative response from the original TV cast. Plus, the trio talk about where this stacks up in the franchise, how M:I compares to other spy franchises and the peculiar joy of Tom Cruise running. Elsewhere in the episode you will hear us talk about movie hacking, come up with our own low budget M:I knockoff (titled Disavowed) and Adam has a fun Jon Voight tale.

It is our grand Kilmer finale! And to round out the season your regular hosts Scott and Craig look at 1997 spy movie flop "The Saint" alongside the £1 Movie Podcast host Wayne Saunders. Over the course of the episode our intrepid trio discover "The Saint" is way bigger franchise than they thought it was, puzzle over the curious lack of action in the film and are curious as to how the finished product is so well so-so given all the talent involved. It ain't all bad though as the trio enjoy Val's many wacky personas, Rade Šerbedžija and Nikolaev's scenery-chewing villains and all things Elizabeth Shue. Elsewhere, we get into the movie's ridiculous accents (most of which come from Val), silly seduction techniques and its hilarious portrayal of the British police.

In the penultimate edition of our short Val Kilmer journey we look at the 1996 action-adventure "The Ghost and The Darkness." Over the course of the episode Scott, Craig and regular special guest Caleb Knutson (can we still call him a special guest at this point? He is basically just part of the show, right?) talk about the true story the film is based on, how this was a passion project for Kilmer and how, for once, it wasn't him giving the director headaches (that would be Michael Douglas!). Plus we get into the movies dodgy effects, even dodgier politics and dodgier still accents. Elsewhere in the episode, the gang get into common silly action tropes, white saviour narratives and there is some brief wrestling chat (amazingly instigated by Craig!). Plus, Scott comes up with the Ken Loach cut of the film and poorly explains a Scots term much to the bemusement of his co-hosts.

Well you nearly didn't get this episode as part of the original recording was lost. Which is a real shame as it is probably one of our best (but then you only have our word for that). Thankfully with a bit of last minute scrambling together we managed to re-record it with our favourite YouTuber Caleb Knutson. Unfortunately 1/2 of the regular host team Craig could not make it this time around. Anyway onto to the re-recorded episode where Scott and Caleb talk about wrestling, fast food franchises, 80s cartoons. And, oh yeah, also get round to talking about Batman Forever in all its campy glory. Throughout the episode we delve into its wacky tonal shifts, dodgy CGI and glorious neon production design. As well as which we tackle the vital questions such as where does Val's Batman rank? Is Jim Carrey a good Riddler? (the answer is hell yes!) and what is with that anatomically correct suit? Plus we talk extensively about the Schumacher Cut and whether it will ever see the light of day?

Wait, from the writers of "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" you say? Oh f--- Anyway come join Scott and Craig as they continue their Val Kilmer season and examine this (rightfully) forgotten Kim Basinger vehicle that Val really does try his darndest to make this semi-entertaining in a valiantly futile effort. Much like the "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" episode Scott and Craig once again try to figure out why are these gags so bad? Is this Terence Stamp's worst performance? Who is this movie for exactly? And why have we put ourselves through this? Elsewhere in the episode Scott and Craig come up with their own based on side characters. Well you know we have got to amuse ourselves somehow!

Welcome back for Season 4! This time we are tackling the 90s films of Val Kilmer. One of the 90s less obvious action stare but also one of the most interesting. Join us as Scott and Craig open the season with Thunderheart (1992). A film that maybe Kilmer's most underrated 90s film and, in fact, may just be his most underrated film generally. Listen as Scott and Craig try to work out how this flick kind of got lost in the 90s shuffle, how the film despite its vintage largely avoids the obvious "magic Indian" tropes and just how great Kilmer and Graham Greene are as a buddy duo.

Well before we go off for a couple of weeks we have a bonus episode for you! As always the bonus episode is connected to the main season. How is Disney's Three Musketeers connected to 90s Kurt Russell movies you say? Well, glad you asked so this episode connections are a) Rebecca De Mornay starred alongside Russell in "Backdraft" and b) Oliver Platt starred alongside him in "Executive Decision." This is special episode too as our special guest Caleb Knutson completes what we are calling the "Caleb trilogy" as Caleb was previously on both the "Backdraft" and " Executive Decision" episodes. Over the course of the episode you will hear regular host Scott and Caleb talk about the greatness of Tim Curry, the blandness of Chris O'Donnell and how this might be the horniest family movie ever made. Plus, they get how this film wants to be "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves," how this is the most American telling of the Musketeers tale and how you have almost certainly seen more Stephen Herek movies than you think you have.

To round off our Kurt Russell awards we hand out our '90s Russell Awards! Listen as regular hosts Scott and Craig talk about the best and worst of Russell's '90s work as well as discussing whether, despite his legendary status, he is somewhat underappreciated. Plus, just have a whole lot of fun reflecting on what has been our most consistently entertaining season to date. That is most consistently set of films we have looked at, we will leave up to you to decide how consistently entertaining (or not) we are!

In our Kurt Russell season finale our regular hosts Scott and Craig look at the 1998 box-office bomb that is "Soldier." Over the course of the episode you will hear us talk about the films troubled production, Russell's crazy 18 month training regime in preparation for the role and how that was immediately derailed by a broken ankle. Elsewhere, we get into how the movie has developed a cult following since its release, how tonally weird the movie is and try to make the case that while this isn't a good film, it is better than critics of the time made it out to be. Plus, we deep dive into one of the cheesiest music montage's put on film as well as the usual tangents and nonsense you have come to expect from the pod!

In this episode we have the great pleasure of chatting to Jonathan Mostow, the director of this week's featured film "Breakdown." Over the course of the episode, regular co-host Scott talks Jonathan about the films early development, how they accomplished the films stunts and if he was at all nervous about directing Kurt Russell in his debut feature. Elsewhere in the episode, we talk about the new restoration of the film, the reason why suspense scripts are particularly difficult to sell in Hollywood and his thoughts on the current action movie landscape. You can buy the brand new director approved Blu Ray restoration of "Breakdown" here "All '90s Action, All The Time" is produced by Scott Murphy, Kyle Hintz and Craig Draheim. Music by Elyssa Vulpes.

In our penultimate edition of Kurt Russell season Scott and Craig, along with special guest "A Ghost Waits" director Adam Stovall, dissect 1997's "Breakdown." Which might be most beginning to end the most fat-free movie we have covered on the podcast so far. Over the course of the episode you will hear the three of them talk about just how perfect Kurt was for this role, just how terrifying J.T. Walsh is in this film (in one of his last film appearances) and are generally baffled at the lack of things to make fun. The latter being something that is very rare around these parts! Don't worry there is still all the usual fun and nonsense as Craig, Scott and Adam get into the weird acting amibitions of Billy (Jack Noseworthy), how law enforcement is always the worst in these films and how Rex Linn is one of the most typecast actors in 90s action. Plus, Scott and Craig find out that while the podcast might be important but definitely not as important as dogsitting as Adam has dash off before the finale. Like the show?

Well with Kyle still missing in action and Craig taking a week off it looked like Scott may have to talk about a film on his own (perish the thought!). However, that eventuality was narrowly avoided thanks to a last minute save from one half of the "Namely 90s" podcast Brandon Schwitter appearing in his "All '90s Action, All the Time!" pod debut to talk about this not so classic Carpenter/Russell collaboration "Escape From LA." Over the course of the episode you will hear Brandon and Scott talk about how the film mirror's the original, the wacky tone of the movie and just how badass Russell is as Snake Plissken. Plus, the pair get into the historically awful CGI in the film, some of the others things that haven't aged well and how, despite all of its flaws, it remains a very fun watch. Like the show?

Caleb is back! Yes, YouTuber and friend of the show Caleb Knutson returns to talk about another one of his childhood favourite Kurt Russell flicks. Which is surprising as this movie is one that there is little nostalgia out there for. Not that it is bad movie. No, as Caleb and your regular hosts Scott and Craig discuss, it is actually a rather good film. It is just that it may be the most middle of the road action of the movie of the '90s. A film that positively screams THREE STARS. Something that we all discuss at length. Elsewhere in the episode the trio discuss THAT Seagal bit (the one bit that everyone remembers), how Kurt doesn't quite convince as a nerd (although he is still cool!), and debate just how the terrorists in the film get all those guns on a plane (we know it is the '90s but jeez!). Plus, we get into Steven Seagal's being a jerk to John Leguizamo on-set, how Russell excels in a ensemble piece and why this film would very much not be made now.

In the third stop on their Kurt Russell journey, Craig and Scott explore the 1994 sci-fi blockbuster "Stargate." Over the course the episode they discuss how this film has probably the biggest legacy of any they film they have covered so far and just how random that legacy truly is. Also, they discuss the trilogy that never was, how the movie is structured in a odd way and get into how baffling it is that this film made it into Roger Ebert's all-time "Most Hated" list (Sure it ain't no Independence Day but it is a solid Emmerich/Devlin effort!). Elsewhere in the episode, there is also all the usual tangents and nonsense that if you are a regular listener you have surely come to expect from the show!

"I'm Your Huckleberry" - Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer) Join us as we continue our '90s Kurt Russell journey with the 1993 cult classic that is "Tombstone." Probably one of Kurt Russell's most iconic films. And to tackle such an iconic movie we need some back up and that is why, alongside regular hosts Scott Murphy and Craig Draheim, we enlisted host of the £1 Movie Podcast and Western enthusiast Wayne Saunders. Over the course of the episode we talk about the films troubled production and how Kurt Russell ended up taking more of a backseat in this one than was originally intended. The trio also talk about just how legendary Val Kilmer's performance as Doc Holliday is, how Michael Biehn as Johnny Ringo is almost as good and just how crazily stacked the cast for this movie really is. Elsewhere in the episode, the three talk about how all of Sam Elliot's power is in his moustache, try to figure out who the real villain of the movie is and how the movie under-serves Bill Paxton. Also, there is all the usual tangents and nonsense not related to the movie that you will have become so accustomed to now.

"You go, we go!" - Stephen McCafferty (Kurt Russell) And we're back again! This time around on Season 3 we breakdown the '90s films of Kurt Russell (an action star who is both iconic and yet still , we think, oddly underappreciated.) Kicking off the season Scott and Special Guest Caleb Knutson (check out his YouTube Channel Caleb Watches Movies) look at the 1991 Ron Howard *ahem* "classic" "Backdraft." Ok, ok so we admit this movie is daft as a brush, has way too many subplots and a number of characters who have no right to been there. On saying that, do we think this movie is an enjoyable ride? Hell yeah, we do! Listen as Caleb talks about the special place this film has in his heart and Scott talk about how he assumed he had misremembered from his childhood viewings that fire is presented as a sentient villain (because that is silly right?) and his amusement that he had actually remembered that correctly! Elsewhere in the episode, Caleb and Scott talk about how Donald Sutherland steals the film, how Kurt Russell and William Baldwin actually make really convincing brothers and get into just how wild and woolly the script for this film. Plus, they get into how Ron Howard might be one of the most middle of the road directors in cinematic history, whether or not Scott Glen is actually a vampire and how surprised they were to find out that this movie had a sequel....in 2019!

"No questions. No answers. That's the business we're in. You just accept it and move on. Maybe that's lesson number three." - Vincent (Jean Reno) As always we end the season with a film that connects in some way to the main season but does not feature the action star we are covering. For Season 2 it is "Ronin" which stars Robert De Niro who co-starred alongside Stallone in "Copland." Over the course of the episode regular co-hosts Craig and Scott try to unravel the movie's incredibly convoluted plot, breakdown what might be the greatest single car chase in cinema (no exaggeration, if you have not seen it do yourself a favour and do that now) and discuss how as good as this film is how it has the potential to be even better. Plus, we talk how this turned out to be John Frankenheimer's last great work, just how insane some of the stunts and have a good laugh at some of the ropey Irish accents. Elsewhere in the episode the pair talk about how the film's central metaphor of the movie doesn't really, the films laissez-faire attitude to spycraft and how the film's alternative title could be "Reasons Undisclosed." Also, we talk about how the character of Deirdre (Natascha McElhone) stands out from many supporting female characters in '90s action movies.

Welcome to the first of two bonus episodes! This one was not actually planned but we could not fit the end of season awards into the Season finale so here we are. Join us as Craig and Scott reflect on the crazy highs and lows that was the '90s Stallone experience and hand out award in the following categories: Best Stallone One -Liner Best End Credit Song Best Action Set Pieces Worst Villain Best Villain Worst Stallone Performance Best Stallone Performance Worst Film Best Film Now you can probably guess what films hog the best and worst categories but there is definitely some curve-ball wins that we don't think you will see coming, so tune in for that! Also, this is an episode were we would love your feedback on what you think the winners should have been (if you disagree with us that is). On top of that we would love to hear your thoughts on '90s Stallone and how well (or not) you thought we covered it.

"Two kind of people in this world: pinball people and video game people. You, Freddy, you're pinball people" - Figgis (Ray Liotta) It is our Season 2 finale! And we end the season by tackling the film that many think features Stallone's greatest performance. That's right we are talking "Copland"! Also, this time around it is not just Craig and Scott as they are joined by "A Ghost Waits" director Adam Stovall. Over the course of the episode the trio debate whether this truly is Stallone's greatest performance, defends its inclusion in the season despite it not really being an action movie and talk about how while it is a very good film "Copland" falls shorts of being the crime masterpiece it wants to be. Elsewhere in the episode, we talk about how we rate the filmography of James Mangold generally, as well as about just how crazy stacked the cast of this film is and lavish praise on Ray Liotta twitchy, frazzled, coked-up (the character not him) performance in the movie. Not to mention we attempt to pitch our 10 part Copland mini-series which fill outs all the dangling plot threads in the movie (of which, there is way more than we remembered there being). Plus, most importantly, we talk about how this film connects to the 1993 Disney classic "Cool Runnings." "All '90s Action, All The Time" is produced by Scott Murphy, Kyle Hintz and Craig Draheim.
