GOIN' COMMANDO

Better late than never,

It's officially

***Content warning: this episode contains discussions about sexual assault and pedophilia.*** On this episode of the show the boys watched two different cuts of Luc Besson's 1994 action thriller THE PROFESSIONAL: the theatrical cut released in America, as well as the extended cut that adds a considerable amount of time and depth to the story. Bryne and James compare the two cuts, explore the unique, uncomfortable relationship between Leon and Mathilda, give praise to the kings Gary Oldman and Danny Aiello, and wonder aloud how an adult man could love milk so much. We also talk about Besson's sordid history as a sexual abuser of women, and in particular his marriage to a teenage girl in the '90s and how it seems as though he wrote this movie about his own life. Plus, Bryne has a hectic day and he and James both tell stories about being bested by bartenders.

It's long past time we cover the work of the master on GOIN' COMMANDO and that gets rectified this week when we dive into the 1985 classic Hong Kong action movie POLICE STORY starring Jackie Chan, who also wrote, directed and yeah, did his own damn stunts. James tries to medically diagnose Chan as we wonder aloud what would drive a man to suffer for his art to this degree. We talk about the chaotic opening scene in the shanty town, the frantic shopping mall end that yielded the most broken glass in movie history. We pay respect to Chan's immense talent, his comedic timing, his intensity, and his versatility. We also talk about shoplifting stuff from the mall, getting kicked in the balls, Scientology (again), and James tells a great story about standing up to a bully. Fun episode.

FOLKS!!! We told you we'd be back to discuss the best sequel ever made after diving deep into 1984's THE TERMINATOR a couple weeks back and here it is. The boys don their best pleather jackets and sunglasses to talk about what it was like being a kid when Arnold and the Terminator character were engulfing all other pop culture around them. We discuss the big tonal differences between the two movies, highlight character growth and give props to Robert Patrick for one of the most terrifying performances in movie history. James did his homework for this one and comes out swinging with many tidbits of trivia about T2 you may or may not have known. We wonder aloud whether Arnold was already a star before T2 or if T2 made him a star. We give props to regional accents. We hope aloud that The Rock does not run for President. We talk about walkup music for baseball players. We check in on Michael Biehn and Edward Furlong. And more!

It's a big week on GOIN' COMMANDO as the boys tackle one of the most influential movies of the 1980s, James Cameron's THE TERMINATOR. The show begins with a prepared essay from Bryne about the movie, which then dovetails into our usual bullshit, sidebars, and sidebars to sidebars. We discuss OJ Simpson of all people potentially being in the running to play the Terminator, we draw parallels between this movie and the slashers that came before it and influenced it, we pour one out for Michael Biehn, we dissect the movie's practical effects, and really, we try to hone in on how this little $6 million movie ended up catching lightning in a bottle and launching a franchise.

Folks, on this week's episode we go back—waaaaaaay back—to 1981 to help celebrate the 40th anniversary of the John Carpenter classic ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK starring Kurt Russell in the now-iconic role of Snake Plissken. Snake is the most nihilistic, misanthropic action hero in movie history, but he has to save the President from Manhattan—now a maximum-security prison—or his neck will explode. Cool! We discuss everything that made this movie so influential, ruminate on its supporting cast and wonder if GCW Champion Nick Gage could beat Slag in a deathmatch. Plus, we talk about porn parodies, wonder if the Presidential Escape Egg is real, Bryne defends New Jersey against an army of imaginary foes from flyover states, which leads James to reveal his desire to do DMT in the Pine Barrens and hopefully not run into any Czechoslovakian interior decorators while under the influence. Bada bing.

We told you we'd be back! After a small sabbatical Bryne and James return to discuss the 1993 political thriller IN THE LINE OF FIRE starring Clint Eastwood and John Malkovich. Malkovich was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role, which is worth noting since this is probably the only movie we will ever do for this show in which someone acting in it was nominated for an Oscar. He's great, obviously, a slimy, sadistic assassin who—get this—is trying to KILL THE PRESIDENT with only a doddering old Secret Service agent in his way. We get into the nitty gritty of age gaps between romantic leads in movies, Bryne tells a Clint Eastwood-related story about getting trolled on twitter, we dissect Danzig's thoughts on cancel culture, lay down the best etiquette for peeing in public, and do our best (?) Jack Nicholson and Christopher Walken impressions. Plus, Bryne tells a story about his new mug.

It's the most chaotic episode in the long, storied history of GOIN' COMMANDO as Bryne and James convene in person again—this time, with 100% more tequila shots. The boys sit a respectable distance from each other and discuss the 1990 action sci-fi thriller I COME IN PEACE, starring Dolph Lundgren as tough Houston cop Jack Caine. Caine is investigating a series of drug-related murders, as well as a group of white-collar dealers literally named The White Boys, but what he *doesn't* know is...there are aliens there, also. We dive into everything that makes this movie a fun watch, but we also discuss fighting Tom Cruise, Scientology, Bagel Boss, the Expendables franchise, Bryne's first post-vaccine movie theater experience, and a lot more. There are some sidebars here, is what we're saying. Sidebars to sidebars, even. Cheers y'all. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

It's a big milestone for the boys as they record IN PERSON for the first time ever! What better way to do that than by discussing the 1996 Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson action comedy THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT!!! Bryne and James also discuss COVID vaccine side effects, Mr. Skin, Roger Ebert, scrambled porn, Bryne ordering porn on PPV as a teenager and his dad's reaction, Brian Cox, the bloated CIA budget, Hollywood's ageism toward older actresses and a lot more. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

POINT BREAK turns 30 in a couple months and what better way to celebrate an absolute classic than to riff on it! On this episode we talk about everything that turns this movie into something uniquely sublime: Patrick Swayze's legendary, intoxicating turn as Bodhi; Keanu Reeves' still-green take on Johnny Utah; Gary Busey's all-time role as Agent Pappas; and Kathryn Bigelow's ingenious direction and writing that elevated this movie to a classic that's still talked about today. Plus Bryne makes a case for this being the most Saggittarius-centric movie of all time. We also talk about the point of view of this movie and how its platonic love story between the two leads and how that may have hurt its chances with the heterosexual male of 1991. The skydiving scenes, the iconic foot chase, the robberies. THE SURFING MONTAGES. It's all here. Ride with us.

Folks, it was only a matter of time until we broached the subject of Hollywood's favorite conservative not named Kelsey Grammar, Kirk Cameron, James Woods or Scott Baio. It's roundhouse kick artist and noted dweeb Chuck Norris and one of his most successful movies, 1986's THE DELTA FORCE. This is a chaotic episode: We dive into the world in which this movie was made, where Reagan ruled, America was conducting covert operations around the world, and yuppies were rebelling against their hippy parents by working at hedge funds, driving sports cars, snorting cocaine, and cheering on Gordon Gekko without understanding the context of his character. Norris was a star for these times and these people and we wonder aloud if movies like THE DELTA FORCE served as a sort of propaganda that is ardently pro-American, pro-military and anti-Palestine. We address Robert Forster doing brownface. We award an honorary Oscar to the motorcycle with the rocket launchers on it. We salute Lee Marvin's eyebrows and talk about our own body hair. We reference the Walker Texas Ranger lever. We talk about how the action portions of this movie feel like a fake action movie within another movie's universe. We do a round of YouTube Comment Theatre. And so much more!

On this episode we dive deep into a movie that's been largely lost to time, 1991's STONE COLD, starring ex-NFL linebacker Brian Bosworth in his movie debut as a tough cop who goes undercover to infiltrate a white supremacist biker gang led by Chains Cooper, played by the King, Lance Henriksen. STONE COLD bombed upon its release and arguably derailed the movie career of the Boz before it could even leave the station, and, watching this thing it's kind of easy to see why. It's a derivative, disjointed, bloody mess with a wooden performance from Bosworth, but Henriksen is great. We talk about his scene-stealing ability, the movie's incoherence, and the fact that the bad guy kind of wins in the end anyway. We also put a price on drinking the smoothie he feeds his pet lizard. Plus, we get into the genesis of "The Boz" as a character, James has a fun NyQuil story, and a lot more. STONE COLD isn't on any streaming services but some brave soul did upload it to YouTube, if you want to watch it for free (which is exactly how much you should pay for it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN-pRNfp8cA Plus you can now support the show on Patreon! 3 bucks a month gets you access to all our bonus content.

Unlucky number 13 and it's a doozy! On this episode of the pod the boys dive into what Bryne refers to as a "dollar menu Lethal Weapon," 1989's TANGO & CASH starring Sylvester Stallone as a highly serious Beverly Hills cop (no, not *that* one) and Kurt Russell as his loose cannon counterpart. There's a lot to like here, primarily the chemistry between the two leads, but there's also a lot of tonally odd things in this movie that make it feel disjointed and like two very different movies sandwiched together. Bryne and James discuss that, as well as Cash's boot gun, Cash in drag, Teri Hatcher's, ahem, appeal, Stallone taking himself entirely too seriously while also taking over the direction of this movie, Jack Palance's turn as Perret and why he's not the main villian of the movie, and a lot more. Plus we fantasy cast a new Ocean's Eleven with '80s action stars that we promise will be TOTALLY different from the Expendables franchise.

It's the movie that made Patrick Swayze an action star, and honestly probably kept basic cable afloat in the 1990s. ROAD HOUSE! On this episode, the boys go nipple to nipple and dive deep into what makes this movie, uh, not necessarily that good, but infinitely rewatchable despite its glaring flaws. It's got sex appeal from Swayze and Sam Elliott, the weirdest one-liners in action movie history (which is really saying something), an unbelievable antagonist, (MacGruber voice) throat rips, and bar fights. So many goddamn bar fights. Justice for Keith David. Plus, Bryne tells James about his bikepacking aspirations and regales us with his past as a scrawny "security" guy at a nightclub where fights broke out all the time. This is also The One With The Dump Truck Full Of Cum.

After covering PREDATOR last week, at James' behest, we're doing its sequel immediately after—plus releasing the episode a week early. You're welcome! 1990's PREDATOR 2 couldn't be any more different from its predecessor: the cast, the setting, the tone, really the only constant is the Predator itself. We dive into all those contrasts, as well as the cast, including Danny Glover as loose cannon cop Mike Harrigan, Gary Busey's turn as the steely Agent Keys, and Bill Paxton (RIP King) as Jerry Lambert. We talk about the movie's urban setting (along with its broad stereotypes) and how we wish this would've set the Predator franchise going forward by just dropping into new cities with new casts. Key scenes are on the table, including the subway fight, Harrigan's meeting with King Willie, the slaughterhouse stuff and Mike's showdown with the Predator aboard the spaceship which yielded at least one big Easter egg. Plus, we lament Hollywood's inability (or maybe indifference) in creating a new generation of action stars.

It's the big 1-0! What a milestone for our dumb little show. To mark it we return to the king, Arnold Schwarzenegger, for the first time since our inaugural episode with one of his career-defining roles, 1987's PREDATOR directed by John McTiernan. This is a movie that James knows like the back of his hand it shows (Bryne, not so much, and in fact Bryne appears to be confused about the Predator's existence and motivations. Classic overthinker). James tells a very sweet story about his history with PREDATOR that in a way, put him on a path we're currently continuing with this very show. The boys discuss their favorite one-liners in the movie, the sheer testosterone permeating through the screen, Shane Black's backstory with the movie, the horror aspects of the film, plot holes, and how Jean Claude Van Damme of all people was originally cast to play the Predator, of all people. Plus we dive into Sonny Landham's porn career, and James alludes to a huge personal problem. Adulthood!!!

Continuing the trend set the other week with NIKITA, for this episode the boys sat down and watched a foreign action movie they'd never seen before. Better late than never: John Woo's HARD BOILED is a stone cold classic which took Hong Kong action to dizzying heights and probably set some kind of unofficial record for bullets spent and bodies slain. This movie is bonkers; creative, kinetic, and artistic in a way that a lot of action movies simply are not. It obviously influenced dozens of movies that came after it. We talk about all of that, plus acknowledge the suspension of disbelief that must happen in order to watch a couple dudes fire 1,000 rounds without ever re-loading; Mad Dog's character development and what makes him unique among action movie bad guys; Alan's ambiguity; every extremely cool thing Chow Yun-Fat does; plus we discuss Conor McGregor's new watch, Matthew Lesko, and how Bryne is ready to fight Jake From State Farm.

Full episode coming next Monday, 2/15! Follow the show on instagram and twitter: @goincommandopod Email the show: goincommandopod@gmail.com

This episode of the pod marks a few milestones: It's our first dissection of a foreign action film, with a female lead, that neither of us had seen before. But watching NIKITA, it's clear how much it has stylistically influenced modern action/spy/thriller cinema. We talk about that with regards to its direction, cinematography and acting, as well as how it differs from more masculine American fare by being basically a tragic love story about loneliness more than anything else. We also discuss Nikita's relationships with Bob and Marco, and her transformation from a feral street punk to a trained assassin who develops love and emotions in a way that puts her at odds with her new life in an interestingly cloudy way not usually touched on in action movies. We also discuss way-too-big firearms, Jean Reno's character and what his motivations may or may not be, watching things with subtitles or closed captioning, why TV commercials are so loud now, and more. This was a fun (and different) one for sure!

Bryne and James assemble on their day off from the podcasting mines to discuss SOME KIND OF HEAVEN, the new documentary that tells three stories from The Villages, central Florida's massive, master-planned retirement community. Having grown up in Central Florida, the boys have a unique perspective on the setting, its people, and the state as a whole. We get into that, as well as people thinking of Florida as a meme, the parallels between The Villages and Disney World, The Villages' made-up history, the War on Drugs, Reggie's eccentricities, Dennis' sad sleaziness, Barbara's somewhat redemptive narrative and much, much more. We also apologize for the choppy audio--not sure what happened there and we appreciate you dealing with it!

It was bound to happen. As we traverse the mean streets of '80s and '90s action stars, you have your Arnolds, your Van Dammes, your Stallones. And then you have the other guys. One of those guys is Steven Seagal, unfortunately. On this episode of the pod the boys dive into Seagal's first movie, ABOVE THE LAW, which as James astutely points out, set the blueprint for literally every single movie he would ever do after this. There's a lot happening, here: an overstuffed plot full of baddie CIA agents running drugs, awkward churchy family stuff, Seagal's character being probably the worst most corrupt cop in history, at least in a vacuum, and more. We get to as much of it as we can stand. Speaking of standing, we also talk about how weird Seagal looks while running, and well, doing just about everything else. We also give our due praise to the queen, Pam Grier. Of course. Plus, tales of Bryne's dentist visit and James' barium soak and subsequent poop stuff. Fun!!!

It's a big milestone on the pod: the first truly bad movie. as James and Bryne dive into 1986's COBRA, starring Sylvester Stallone as Marion Cobretti, a tough cop whose dour demeanor is just as off-putting as his pizza eating habits. We discuss all the other weird food things in COBRA, too--gummy bears? Check. Hospital cake? Check. Eating an apple with leather gloves on? CHECK!!! We also talk about Stallone going from almost doing BEVERLY HILLS COP to rewriting the script with none of the humor left in for COBRA; Stallone being inspired by Bruce Springsteen when creating COBRA; the way the message of this movie and other things like PUNISHER are misconstrued by stupid cops who just want to beat up people; the car chase and how Stallone sold his Mercury used in the movie to a guy who then tried to set a land speed record while driving it; plus, we talk about the COVID vaccine; phones tracking us; jacking off (sorry, mom); our favorite movie theater experiences; ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD (two 36 year old white guys gushing over Tarantino? WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT!); and Bryne finally tells the story of his colonoscopy. Can't believe it took six episodes to get to that.

It's part two of our Christmas chronicles and we saved the best for last: DIE HARD! The 1988 blockbuster put Bruce Willis on the map, was Alan Rickman's first movie ever, and, after nearly ten years of muscled-up bloody madness, redefined what action movies can be. We dive into all of that, plus key scenes featuring classic 1980s Guys like William Atherton and Paul Gleason, Jan de Bont's cinematography, and the genesis (or at least modern popularization) of the everyman action hero. And yes, James has a convincing argument for why this is a Christmas movie too. We also discuss the trailer for Wild Mountain Thyme and the idea of Christopher Walken doing an Irish accent, which leads into a discussion on English actors doing American accents for movies and how long it took for Bryne to realize that Christian Bale wasn't American. Plus, we *finally* officially rule on spoilers and how long people have until a spoiler is no longer a spoiler. Spoiler alert: it's probably shorter than you think. We also talk about Hallmark original movies and who we'd play in them, and why parents should give their children reasons when they say "no" to stuff.

It's a tentpole of the action genre, a movie that spawned a thousand imitators. Some of its lines are *still* a big part of the lexicon (you know, the one about being too old for this shit, etc.). And yes--it's a Christmas movie. On this episode of the pod we dissect key scenes in 1987's LETHAL WEAPON while considering alternate universes in which Bruce Willis plays Riggs and Bob Hoskins plays Murtaugh, plus the chemistry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover and how their performances and differences skyrocketed the buddy cop action movie as an art form and launched a decade-long franchise. We also discuss how Riggs' character arc mirrors that of many characters in Christmas movies, facial hair, Onlyfans, Gary Busey, whether it's weird or not for your entire family to run into the bathroom while you're in the tub, Warner Bros.' decision to stream their 2021 releases on HBO Max, and how badly we want to see movies in theaters again someday. We also dive into Mel Gibson's very public, very hateful meltdown in the 2000s, his efforts to apologize and rehabilitate his image, which led us into a discussion on cancel culture as a whole that hopefully won't get *us* canceled.

The pod makes its first foray into martial arts movies with 1988's BLOODSPORT. It's the movie that made Jean-Claude Van Damme a household name despite its many shortcomings: an overly simple plot, wooden acting and unearned relationships. James and Bryne slow-motion roundhouse kick all of those topics, plus we discuss our own scars, superficial and emotional; astrology (our birthdays are coming up BTW); JCVD's butt and his seeming willingness to engage in BDSM-adjacent movie scenes, how Frank Dux' final fight with Chong Li is like a pro wrestling storyline, and more! We also discuss the real Frank Dux, a pathological liar when you could still get away with that sort of thing pre-Internet. Now the only guys who seem to get away with it are the clowns in Washington, am I right everyone.

With Sir Sean Connery passing away on Oct. 31, James and Bryne take a look back at two of his greatest roles. First, his final turn as James Bond in 1983's NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN--he was older, wetter, but wiser (and still a "panty dropper" in James' words). We discuss the film's non-canonical nature, whether or not we've ever had urine thrown in our faces, the dark web, an underwater fight scene with a shark, James Bond suddenly being a gamer, Fatima Blush's INSISTENCE on the world knowing that she fucks good, an exploding pen, XT7Bs and more. Then, we tackle THE ROCK (1996), which sees Connery playing an old, grizzled veteran soldier and escape artist alongside an FBI chemical weapons expert played by Nicolas Cage. We discuss Michael Bae (Bay), Nic Cage coming into his own as, well, Nic Cage, how a baby doll could shoot gas everywhere, Ed Harris' turn as General Hummel and why his motives weren't as black and white as they seem to be for antagonists in other action movies, James' medical background and what would really happen if you were exposed to VX gas, throwing grenades back at people who threw them at you first, rental cars and how you're supposed to drive them, why the parking meters in San Francisco took pennies, and MORE!

For the inaugural episode of GOIN' COMMANDO co-hosts Bryne and James tackle the inspiration for the show's name: the 1985 action thriller COMMANDO starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's the movie that cemented Arnold as a bankable action star. It has a bad plot, bad acting, a completely unbelievable antagonist and probably the most unintentionally comedic one-liners the genre has ever seen. We discuss all of that, as well as the movie's creative cursing, cursing in front of children, extreme close-ups of Arnold's wet muscles, scenes that just seemed shoehorned in to establish that Arnold was a big strong man, Bryne's confusion as to why the bad guys were driving a beaten-up Chrysler minivan, Henriques being dead tired, Sully's suits, egregious continuity errors, Cindy's fourth-wall breaking, Cooke being cooked and eaten for breakfast, brownface, Bennett's outfit and posture, the sheer insanity of the movie's kills in the last twenty minutes, James' childhood crush on Alyssa Milano, and much, much more.
