On this week's show, we begin our look at a few movies of the legendary Nicolas Cage. First up, 1996's The Rock starring Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery, Ed Harris, and William Forsythe.  From director Michael Bay, this movie is the first time Nicolas Cage steps into the role of action movie hero, and whom better to learn from than the original 007, Sean Connery. This movie big has chases, play of many varieties (namely gun and word), big action sequences, and an iconic location.  Be sure to let us know what you think of the movie, and the podcast. Thanks and enjoy!

On this week's show, we watched 1997's Alien: Resurrection starring Sigourney Weaver, Winona Ryder, Ron Perlman, Brad Dourif, and Raymond Cruz.  From director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, this next installment to the Alien franchise features an entirely new version of Ripley, a lot of aliens, interstellar mercenaries, a bumbling military, and some mad scientists. Toss in a dash of pretty solid FX, plot inconstancies, a few chuckles, and cringey dialog, and you've got the makings of a big budget, cult classic.  Be sure to let us know what you think of the movie, and the podcast. Thanks and enjoy!

On this week's show, we watched 1992's Alien 3 starring Sigourney Weaver, Charles Dance, Charles S. Dutton, Paul McGann, and Lance Henriksen.  From director David Fincher, this third installment of the Alien franchise starts immediately following the events of Aliens (1986), where the survivors of LV-426 were headed back to Earth via the Colonial Marine spaceship, The USS Sulaco. Somehow, the Xenomorph queen made it onboard and laid 3 eggs before meeting her doom at the end of the previous film. Following a facehugger attack, our heroes (who are still in hypersleep) are jettisoned to a nearby planetoid; former maximum-security prison facility, Fury-161. After the escape pod crashes and its survivors are recovered, calamity ensues and it's once again up to Ellen Ripley to save everyone; even though it may cost her everything.  This is one of those movies with a production hellish enough that it might be more entertaining than the film itself.  Be sure to let us know what you think of the movie, and the podcast. Thanks and enjoy!

On this week's show, we watched 1986's Aliens starring Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Paul Reiser, Lance Henriksen, Carrie Henn, and Bill Paxton.  From director James Cameron, this next installment to the Alien franchise is quite a tonal shift from the first movie. While the first is a sci-fi horror classic, the second is arguably one of the greatest sci-fi action movies ever.  This movie sees the return of both the hero and monster(s) from the first, a group of intergalactic badass soldiers, great cinematography, an unforgettable soundtrack, vehicles that would make the Dark Knight swoon, a couple of laughs, a few scares, and a wildly intense and unrelenting climax. Be sure to let us know what you think of the movie, and the podcast. Thanks and enjoy!

On this week's show, we watched 1979's Alien starring Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, John Hurt, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, Yaphet Kotto, and Ian Holm.  From director Ridley Scott, this blockbuster is arguably the greatest sci-fi horror movie of all-time. It features a fantastically talented cast, great cinematography, unforgettable scares, a couple of the most iconic movie monsters to date, and an unexpectedly badass hero.  Be sure to let us know what you think of the movie, and the podcast. Thanks and enjoy!

On this week's show, we watched 1987's Predator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Kevin Peter Hall, Elpidia Carrillo, and Jesse Ventura.  This blockbuster features a cast that's a veritable who's who of 80s action movie tough guys, big guns, bigger muscles, a giant alien capable of slaughtering everything it sees with its bare hands or super cool tech, practical FX from a true industry legend, great cinematography, amazing one-liners, and Arnold at the near pinnacle of his game. In short, it's a wildly fun movie. Be sure to let us know what you think of the movie, and the podcast. Thanks and enjoy!

On this week's show, an unplanned dive back into the films of The Canon Group with a look at 1985's The Adventures of Hercules starring Lou Ferrigno.  This cult classic is a confusing quagmire of oiled muscles, a muddled plot, bad dialogue, and adorably cheesy FX. To be fair, Lou Ferrigno is arguably the best live action version we've seen of the the god, and there are many things in the movie to enjoy. However the comparisons to the more beloved Clash of the Titans (1981) are inescapable.  Plus, our favorite movies from 2023, and the ones we're most looking forward to 2024. Be sure to let us know what you think of the movie, and the podcast. Thanks and enjoy!

On this week's show, a review of the 2022's Violent Night starring David Harbour, John Leguizamo, Beverly D'Angelo, and Alex Hassell. This one is a blend of a few holiday movies including Die Hard, Home Alone, and Miracle on 34th Street. And with an added dash of John Wickian hyper-violence, this holiday action comedy was a very entertaining viewing experience.  How about you? Did you see it? What did you think? Be sure to let us know. And if you like what you hear, please subscribe, and maybe leave a rating. Thanks and enjoy!

On this week's show, a review of the 1988's Scrooged directed by Richard Donner, and starring Bill Murray, Karen Allen, Alfre Woodard, Carol Kane, and Bobcat Goldthwait. Thanks in part to Murray's ability (or lack thereof), Donner's directing, their egos, and on-set clashes between the pair during production, this darkly comedic and horror tinged take on the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol, has gone on to become a, somewhat divisive, holiday classic. But first, what TV shows have great holiday themed episodes? We want to hear from you! If you like what you hear, please subscribe. Enjoy!

On this week's show, a review of the cult classic that almost ruined Christmas in 1984, Silent Night, Deadly Night. This holiday horror slasher is confounding amalgam of standard 80s horror movie tropes such as a largely unknown cast, hyperviolence, bad acting, worse dialog, nudity, "plot" holes, and more violence which is then followed by more nudity. This movie was not an easy watch. And while almost none of it works, this film surprisingly spawned several sequels over the next two decades, including a failed remake attempt in the early 2000s.  If you like what you hear, please subscribe. Enjoy!

On this week's show, it's a live review of 1980's Friday the 13th. The little horror movie that started as a ripoff of another iconic slasher film, but ended up launching a film franchise of its own.  But you might be asking yourself, "What is a live review?". Well, we watched a movie, while recording what we think of it as we go. And so dear friends, that means you will be able to watch this cult classic right along with us. (It may help to follow the instructions given in the podcast, and below) If you don't already own this movie, it's currently available to stream on HBO Max. Apologies to those whom are unable to join us, we'll be back very soon with a regular show.  Podcast Sync: When the Paramount logo switches to blue and white, hit play on the podcast (Live Review Starts - 06:13). Be sure to subscribe. Enjoy!

On this week's show, a review of the cult classic that is 1997's Starship Troopers starring Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Neil Patrick Harris, and Michael Ironside. From director Paul Verhoeven, this surprisingly nuanced and action-packed sci-fi satire truly has something for almost everyone. An intergalactic military kicking ass, drama, giant aliens, fisticuffs, romance, spaceships, nudity (so much nudity), and more.  Plus, we've got another movie you can watch with us, and it's perfect for the season.  If you like what you hear, please subscribe. Enjoy!

On this week's show, the Summer of Sly continues with a look at 1989's Tango and Cash starring Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Terri Hatcher, and Jack Palance. This action-packed, buddy cop comedy contains nearly every trope of the 80s box office blockbuster: high speed chases, explosions, fisticuffs, damsel in distress, heroes who don't play by the rules, shadowy big bad, nudity, and more. Plus, a look at who else was up for one of the leads in this movie, and just how different (yet equally entertaining) it could've been.  If you like what you hear, please subscribe. Enjoy!

On this week's show, the Summer of Sly continues with a look at 1976's Rocky starring Sylvester Stallone,   Carl Weathers, Talia Shire, Burgess Meredith, and Burt Young. While not their first movie roles, this was the "big one" for many among this fantastic cast; most notably Stallone. As both writer and star, this drama disguised as a boxing movie made Stallone an overnight success, and is arguably the pinnacle of his monstrously successful 60 year career in show business. The results of which are several Academy Award nominations (an adjacent "W"), and a box office gross of several billion dollars. Plus, saying good-bye to the legend that was Paul Reubens.  Please subscribe. Enjoy!

On this week's show, we watched 1985's Commando starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rae Dawn Chong, and Vernon Wells. Arguably, it's one of Arnold's best movies, and for good reason. While the plot of the movie is thin, it's heavy on explosions, big guns, bigger muscles, a comic book-level villain, giant dudes beating the hell out of each other, and some of Schwarzenegger's greatest one-liners. In short, it's a wildly fun movie. If you like what you hear, be sure to subscribe. Enjoy!

On this week's show, the Summer of Sly continues with a look at 1993's Cliffhanger starring Sylvester Stallone, Michael Rooker, and John Lithgow. For a box office blockbuster about a mid-air heist gone wrong turned cat and mouse action thriller set in the Rocky Mountains, it's quite boring at times. And outright bad at others. Plus, thoughts on Star Wars Rebels and more.  If you like what you hear, please subscribe. Enjoy!

On this week's show, we take a look at 1986's Cobra starring Sylvester Stallone, Brigitte Nielsen, and Brian Thompson. This high octane and often confounding cult classic was produced by the Cannon group, and a few of their signature tropes appear in the movie: over the top action, super tough and muscly star, pretty damsel in need of rescue, and a muddled plot. Plus, the backstory of how the movie was made is almost as interesting as the movie itself, including a rather weird connection to Beverly Hills Cop.  If you like what you hear, please subscribe. Enjoy!

On this week's show, it's all Star Wars. From live action to animated, we meander throughout the vast amount of interconnected tales from a galaxy far, far away. Particular highlights being the third season finale of The Mandalorian, Rebels, and Jedi: Survivor.  As always, if you like what you hear, be sure to subscribe. Enjoy!

On this week's show, from the decade that arguably defined the action movie genre, we take a look at 1993's Demolition Man starring Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, Sandra Bullock, and quite a few other famous faces. Boasting a very good cast, hard hitting action, and despite Rob Schneider, some genuinely funny moments, this film is easily one of Stallone's most entertaining movies.  As always, if you like what you hear, be sure to subscribe. Enjoy!
