We're back for our final episode of 2022 where we talk a little too much about Avatar 2 in our episode covering Die Hard with a Vengeance, AKA Die Hard 3: Lost in New York.

Jack Ryan makes his cinematic debut with the, uh, decidedly slower-paced Soviet nuclear sub "thriller" The Hunt for Red October, with Alec Baldwin as Jack Ryan and Sean Connery as a Soviet nuclear sub commander. Is this only a movie you should watch with your dad? Maybe. Would you like to hear Sean Connery attempt to speak Russian? Definitely.

Podcasters, let's get podcastin'. We're talking FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, the 1996 vampire schlockfest directed by Robert Rodriguez from a Quentin Tarantino script. Oriana has a fondness for this one because of George Clooney. Sorry.

Do you like swashbuckling? Anticolonialism? Incredible horse-acting? Martin Campbell's The Mask of Zorro has all of these things, plus incredible chemistry between Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones and Anthony Hopkins as a big Wife Guy.

Pierce Brosnan's first outing as 007! He's good! Sean Bean is good! Famke Janssen... kind of feels like she's playing a sex clown. Do you prefer your 90s action moves shaken, or stirred?

Is Titanic an action movie?? Isn't this just a chick flick...for GIRLS??? We debate this, discuss the merits of Celine Dion, and once again mock people betting against the absolute GOAT James Cameron in this two-VHS edition of Mission Recall.

The first rule of our episode about Fight Club: go ahead and talk about our Fight Club episode. Tell all your friends!

Our most political episode yet as we ship out to Klendathu to discuss space fascism, asking if we're the baddies, and reminding everyone that Killmonger was right. Would you like to know more?

In this episode, we discuss Tim Burton predicting internet commenters, Lisa Marie Presley causing conflicting feelings, and why Tim Burton should've reached out to Roland Emmerich for some pointers. That's right, it's Mars Attacks, the alien invasion movie that probably gave you nightmares as a kid.

In this episode we clock the T-Rex at 32 MPH and test the fences for weaknesses as we explore Jurassic Park and the series of diminishing returns, er, rather, sequels.

Terminator 2: a movie so good it has sustained a 30 year mini-industry of subpar to outright terrible sequels. Steve and Oriana dive deep on all things Terminator, James Cameron, and weird body standards for modern male actors

In this episode, we're taking the red pill (in a cool way, not a lame incel way) as we jack into The Matrix. This is a special episode because we not only explore the first film, but we dive into its two sequels in preparation for the imminent release of The Matrix Resurrections! After this episode we'll be taking a little holiday sabbatical, so we'll see you in 2022. Thanks for listening!

Pop quiz hot shot! You're listening to a podcast. The hosts are talking about the 1994 action classic Speed. They're saying you should watch it again if you haven't seen it in a while. What do you do? WHAT do you do?

In this very special episode we both experience Blade for the first time, and then imagine a world where superhero movies are all as good as Blade and make ourselves very sad.

We didn't kill our WIFE! In this episode we explore the start of Harrison Ford's transformation from swaggering rogue to grumpy dad. Also, did you know Tommy Lee Jones wasn't a well-known star before this movie? AND that he won an Oscar for this role??

For our Halloween special we visit a new dimension of mediocrity as Steve returns to a childhood favorite and Oriana experiences Evil Sam Neill for the first time. Both leave pretty disappointed

We enjoy a big glass of sugar in water as we rewatch this all-time classic, and then realize that the Bug had some good points as we watch the 2019 reboot

In full transparency, we actually wanted to watch Men In Black for this episode, but it disappeared from HBO Max so we called an audible and chose the Harrison Ford classic, Air Force One. Does it soar or crash and burn? Tune in to find out!

In our inaugural episode, your hosts Oriana Schwindt and Stephen Parkhurst discuss "The Mummy," directed by Stephen Sommers and starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. We explore how the film holds up so well after two decades, and why the doomed "Dark Universe" reboot in 2017 failed so spectacularly.
