    This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome! In this episode, Steve returns and together with Pete they discuss the 1986 Stallone movie, Cobra. Steve has never seen this film before, but Pete is a veteran, having now seen it three times. The film was adapted from a novel and the screenplay written by Stallone. There are quite a few familiar faces in this film, including Brigitte Nielson, in an early role, Andrew Robinson, and Brian Thompson, the man who has been in practically every SFF film and TV show from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, to Alien Nation, to Star Trek, to The Terminator, to Charmed to The X-Files.

In this episode, we do something different, both hosts went to the cinema and saw a modern movie, John Wick. Steve and Pete saw the 2015 film in different locations in the UK so they spend the whole of this episode trying to recall parts of the film while they discuss the plot. The film has a big cast of well known stars including Keanu Reeves, Bridget Moynahan, Willem Defoe, Adrienne Palicki, Daniel Bernhardt, Alfie Allen, Lance Reddick, Clarke Peters and the always brilliant Ian McShane, Lovejoy himself. There are lots of great little moments and small scenes from well known actors such as John Leguizamo and former WWE wrestler, Kevin Nash, which transform this film from what could have been a straight to DVD action film. The cast, the tight script and the remarkable action scenes make it a very interesting film to discuss. At the end of the episode we discuss the plans for a sequel which has already been announced. We also talk about our next choice of film as we step away from the trilogies for a while.

    This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome! In this episode, part three of our trilogy devoted to Kurt Russell, we talk about the 1989 film, Tango and Cash. This film has two big stars in leading roles, Sly Stallone and Russell, with Stallone playing almost against type as he is the suade, rich, well-dressed and well-spoken Ray Tango, vs Gabriel Cash, played by Kurt Russell who is rough, smelly, lives in a crappy apartment and yet is an equally good cop in LA. This episode could almost have been called Bags of Misery as we total up an impressive number of actors who have since passed away. The film also stars, Jack Palance, as the main shadowy, suspicious bad guy as he chews the scenery. There is also a very young Teri Hatcher, a To Wong Fu moment in the film and as the film progresses we start to realise that Pete watched a different version to Steve. At the end of the episode we announce what we're doing next, which is a change from the norm as we're coming up to date and doing something very new, something still at the cinema.

    This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome! In this episode, part two of our trilogy devoted to Kurt Russell, we talk about another John Carpenter film, the action classic from 1981, Escape from New York. Russell plays the legendary character, Snake Pliskin, who became a cult figure and eventually Russell reunited with Carpenter for the sequel. In this film Carpenter has again not only directed the film but given it his own unique stamp, scoring the music as well. There is also a long list of very famous names in this film from Ernest Borgnine to Harry Dean Stanton, Adrienne Barbeau to Donald Pleasence playing the President of the United States. At the end of the episode we announce what the third film in our Russellology is going to be. Also mentioned in the podcast this episode was Archie vs. Predator comic. More info is available here.
