We kick off our Jean-Claude Van Damme four episode focus with a film that Caleb remembers as being good, but… is very bad. Cyborg is possibly the worst film we have ever covered on this show actually. Enjoy Alex and special guest Brandon Baptiste as we trudge through a nonsensical plot, discuss Bloodsport far too much, and how this movie actually made a ton of money.Got Something to say?

C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!You thought we were going to keep talking about awful things that are kind of objectively bad, huh? Not this time! Killer Instinct released in 1994 in arcades, and home consoles (SNES) in 1995. Sure, there were a lot of other fighting games at the time. Sure, Alex mentions Mortal Kombat 300 times during this episode. But why not - you can't talk fighting games in the 90s without Mortal Kombat's specter looming overhead.Anyway, we talk about the characters, the production history, the sound design, and probably something completely off-topic, I have no idea.

Akira - the 1988 film largely responsible for the success of anime in the west.

If you haven't seen this film PLEASE DO THAT NOW.
One of film's most well regarded directors attempted to take on one of Science Fictions most complicated series of novels in the mid 1980s and it... didn't go as well as it could have. Don't fear.
