It is with much regret that we come to the end of the journey that has been The Film '89 Podcast, as tonight's episode marks for the guys a peak of sorts, a culmination of the last 7 years which has all led to the film we're covering on this monumental episode. Steve, Neil and Skye are joined by a returning co-host who hasn't been on Film '89 since Episode 40, way back in November 2019, when he and Steve reviewed The Irishman, it's our good friend, Tony Sower. Tony joins us to discuss his all-time favorite film, a film that we've been threatening to cover on the podcast for the longest time. If the name of this podcast takes influence from the ‘80s and nostalgia for movies we grew up with, then this film in a way typifies that era. And if the 1980s will be remembered for particular types of film, then the high concept action film is surely one of those types, born out of a decade where excess was celebrated. That film is the 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger action classic, Commando. Some frankly hyperbolic opinions are going to be put forth on tonight's episode, opinions as big as the Austrian Oak himself. Commando sees Arnie, after the fantasy heroics of Conan The Barbarian and the sci-fi horror of The Terminator, playing a more grounded, contemporary role as retired Army Commando, John Matrix. Yet there's ultimately nothing grounded when it comes to Commando, a film that takes over the top machismo to hitherto unseen levels in a film that may be the action film distilled to its purest form. We hope you've enjoyed The Film '89 Podcast, we'd love to carry on, but after a peak like Commando, there's nowhere to go but down, and we always intended to go out on a high. Adios.

Lester, esta cinta de acción pura y dura nos presenta a Arnold Schwarzenegger en el papel de John Matrix, un exsoldado de fuerzas especiales cuya hija es secuestrada por un grupo de mercenarios. Sin más opción que desatar el caos, Matrix inicia una misión de rescate donde las explosiones, las frases lapidarias y el músculo son los protagonistas.

¡Prepárate para un episodio lleno de acción, explosiones y frases épicas! En este nuevo episodio de Remake a los 80 nos sumergimos en una de las películas más icónicas del cine de acción de los años 80: "Comando" (1985). Esta película tiene de todo: músculos, villanos malvados, rescates imposibles y, por supuesto, el inmortal Arnold Schwarzenegger en su papel de John Matrix, un sospechoso que mide como 1,90 de puro músculo... es un GIGANTEE el hijo de puta... un hombre que no necesita ayuda… pero que igual la da cuando se trata de salvar a su hija. Comenzamos el episodio hablando de cómo surgió la idea detrás de "Comando", desde sus primeros borradores hasta el guion final que se convertiría en una máquina de acción imparable. Y es que no podía ser de otra forma, si tienes a un tipo como Arnold en el papel principal, lo menos que puedes hacer es darle un guion cargado de acción y diálogos memorables como: "Volveré" (sí, sabemos que es una frase de "Terminator", pero "Comando" la hizo aún más épica). Nos metemos en la producción, donde descubrimos algunos detalles curiosos sobre cómo se rodaron esas escenas llenas de disparos, explosiones y el infaltable enfrentamiento cuerpo a cuerpo, mientras John Matrix lanza una tras otra de sus líneas más inolvidables: "Suelta un poco de vapor, Bennett", ¿quién no la recuerda? También hablamos sobre los efectos especiales de la época, que aunque no eran tan sofisticados como los de hoy, lograron crear momentos que siguen grabados en la memoria de todos los fanáticos del cine de acción. Pero no todo es acción, también damos un vistazo al increíble elenco que hizo posible esta película, desde Arnold en el papel de héroe hasta Vernon Wells, quien interpretó al villano Bennett, un tipo que parece estar siempre a punto de explotar (y no solo por su ropa de cuero). Además, discutimos cómo el cine de acción de los 80 cambió la industria, con un estilo característico que marcó a toda una generación, ¿quién puede olvidar los imponentes músculos de los héroes, las explosiones por doquier y la música sintetizada que acompaña cada enfrentamiento? Es todo un estilo, y "Comando" es un claro ejemplo. Y claro, no podemos dejar de mencionar las curiosidades que rondan a "Comando": desde el entrenamiento de Schwarzenegger para ponerse aún más grande, hasta anécdotas sobre las locaciones donde se grabaron esas escenas tan explosivas. Al final, es un viaje nostálgico a una época donde las películas de acción no necesitaban de CGI, solo de un buen guion, una dosis de testosterona y mucha, pero mucha adrenalina. Así que acompáñanos en este episodio para recordar "Comando" en todo su esplendor junto a Óscar, el "General Cabrera", nuestro millenial "Bennet" García y el más fornido y duro de los videoclubseros" John Paul "Matrix-Molina". Como diría John Matrix: "Nosotros desayunamos boinas verdes y ahora tenemos hambre". ¡¡Sigue escuchando y prepárate para la mejor dosis de cine de acción ochentero que puedas imaginar TIO MIERDAAA!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- RECUERDA QUE PUEDES APOYARNOS A TRAVÉS DEL SISTEMA DE SUSCRIPCIÓN DE FANS ➡️https://www.ivoox.com/support/248910 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Escúchanos también en www.remakealos80.com Recuerda suscribirte a nuestro canal de YouTube para estar al día de nuestros directos https://www.youtube.com/@remakealos80 Síguenos en Instagram y Twitter @Remakealos80 y búscanos en Telegram, te dejamos el enlace a nuestro grupo de para que compartas tus opiniones e interactúes con nosotros: https://t.me/joinchat/GXsRJYMd3wQVBG2v

In this episode, I'm going Commando. The 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic bullets and bodies action extravaganza, that is! I'm going retro this week since there's nothing good enough at the theaters to review for my beloved movie maniacs and fellow freedom-fueled film fanatics. Commando is about ex-Special Forces soldier John Matrix trying to save his daughter after she's kidnapped to force him to assassinate a president. Matrix escapes the baddies tasked with escorting him to the country to kill the president, and the action blows up from there. He's joined by Rae Dawn Chong, as Cindy, who involuntarily at first, becomes his valuable ally. Will he get his daughter, played by Alyssa Milano, back in time? Of course he will! Commando also stars the late great Bill Paxton in a small role, Dan Hedaya, Vernon Wells, David Patrick Kelly, James Olson, Bill Duke, Drew Snyder, Sharon Wyatt, Michael DeLano and Bob Minor. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

Arnold has many great action flicks over his career but in the 80's one of them stands out among them all and that is Commando. I think there are more one liners in this movie then most of his put together. It has a great cast in it and the action is spot on as only Arnold can bring it. The Stallone/ Arnold rivalry was big in the 80's and I believe this was Arnold's version or answer to Rambo. Who do you think made the better character?? Arnold as John Matrix or Stallone as John Rambo? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/retrolife4you/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/retrolife4you/support

We all had our favorite action stars in the 80's and the yall did their version of war movies it seemed and some focused on Vietnam. We had Chuck Norris doing Braddock, Arnold Schwarzenegger doing John Matrix in Commando but then we had the one unique one man army that Stallone did known as John Rambo. Overall he did five Rambo movies but we will talk the first three mostly. In the first he was fighting for himself, in the 2nd installment he goes back into action for his country to help locate American POW's in Vietnam, and in the 3rd one he is back in action to help rescue his friend and mentor Colonel Sam Trautmen. He feels no pain, has no weakness, and for me, he is the greatest Character that Stallone did in the 80's! Don't hate me Rocky fans!!!!! I love Rocky as well but Rambo is just a bad man!

Of course this derails into conversations about Commando's opening scene, Commando's steel drum soundtrack, and Commando's goofs, like when Matrix's head flies off in that one shot and the filmmakers just pretend it never happened.

He is the co-owner and vice president of business development at Rockwell Time, a lifestyle company specializing in watches, sunglasses, and apparel. This episode is chock-full of laughs while they just shoot the shit, talking about old movies and video games, Johnny's time as a guinea pig doing crazy stunts on Nitro Circus' TV Series - Thrillbillies, and Man vs Youtube. They also chat about Johnny's experiences on television via shows like The Rockwell Chronicles, 3.2 Percent and The Ultimate Combat Experience. Johnny talks about his early life and how he'd often fight his younger brother, but turn and around and beat up any person who'd mess with that same brother. He also tells a funny encounter he had with someone who claimed to be Karl Malone's personal trainer & he discusses his friendship with former NBA All-Star, Olympic Gold Medalist Deron Williams.

In this onscreen persona-defining movie, Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Col. John Matrix, a highly-trained military special-ops expert whose unit was disbanded and now live under secret identities in retirement.  Matrix spends his days as a single father taking care of his spirited young daughter, Jenny (Alyssa Milano), to whom he has promised not to go out on any more special missions.  However, John’s hand is forced when Jenny is abducted by a displaced South American dictator (Dan Hedaya) of a banana republic named Val Verde who wants his old gig back, planning to use her for ransom as John puts out an assassination on the current leader.  Thinking that Jenny will be killed even if he fulfills the demands, Matrix sets about dismantling the small army the dictator has around him, with the help of an airline attendant named Cindy (Rae Dawn Chong), in the hope that he can rescue his daughter before she is offed. Mark L. Lester directs this humorously over-the-top actioner from a Steven E. de Souza script.

From 2003 to 2011, the action world mourned. The King—Conan, John Matrix, the T-800—had officially relinquished his crown. The fabled Terminator had transitioned to Governator. Instead of hunting down Sarah Connor with no remorse or reservations, he was balancing budgets and removing soda pop from school vending machines. In the halls of my house, those were dark days. A cinema landscape sans-the hulking presence of Arnold Schwarzenegger was not one I wanted to experience. But then, he returned. His term was up; it was time to come home—to return to the industry that had made him such an American Dream success story. His big comeback vehicle: The Last Stand, a homage to old school westerns that featured Arnold as a grizzled sheriff who’d do anything to protect his turf. On paper, it looked like a can’t miss equation. Arnold, an escaped cartel boss, a showdown with longs odds in the middle of a desert town, and bullets by the dozen: What’s not to love? Sadly, though, things had changed in his years as a public servant. The action movies of yore had given way to a new breed of spectacle. Super Heroes were the champions of the day. *Movies rife with computer generated effects lorded over those that brought a more grounded, gritty feel. The once iconic, muscle-bound everyman couldn't hold a candle to the fantastical feats of those with powers that defied imagination. Thus, with Arnold set to appear in his first starring role in 10 years (since Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines), the chips had been stacked against him, and it was an obstacle he could not overcome. Despite having historically survived shootouts and throwdowns where the odds were almost never in his favor, he could not best the shifting dynamics of the box office. The Last Stand, decently reviewed and a hell of a good time at the theater, was a bomb. My heart still weeps. Regardless, it’s a film I recommend with enthusiasm, so sit back, grab a beer, and enjoy as I, the Thunderous Wizard (@WriterTLK), and the Irate Lover take you to the sleepy streets of Sommerton Junction, a place where you best not mess with the sheriff! As always be sure to check our Twitter (@HopsandBOFlops) for notes from the show—trailers, factoids, and other fun links.  *This is a theme we also explored when Jurassic Park devoured Last Action Hero at the box office. Listen to that episode.

It's time to LET OFF SOME STEAM as we look at one of the finest examples of the 80s action movie genre. Arnie's on a mission to rescue his kidnapped daughter, while Neil and Dan are on a mission to constantly over-think every situation in the film. Amongst all of the crazy one-liners, explosions and deaths, we study John Matrix's mission, his requirement-gathering skills, and bemoan his poor password security. On the other side of the fence, we look at villain Bennett's seeming love for his nemesis, discover the interesting real-life circumstances which led to some odd costuming, and we unleash our terrible Australian accents. There are plenty of distractions along the way, as we draw repeated comparisons to the Bond franchise, get into knots over whether it's "Matrixes" or "Matrices", debate whether a rocket launcher is better than a door handle, analyse the weird musical adjectives of Creem magazine, make plans for a Christmas double-header episode, and give shouts-out to our mums.

Watch along with Jimmy and me as we hark back to 1985 with our mullets and parachute pants and feast our eyes on Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime fighting bad guys and rescuing damsels and also being rescued by damsels. We try to figure out who the real commando is. We count how many times "John Matrix" should have died (5). We laud the roles given to the female characters, even if they're ludicrous and superfluous. We wax poetic about '80s character actors and their credits. We applaud the ticking clock (a beeping watch) and the conspicuous lack of cell phones. And we duck and cover when all hell breaks loose at Harold Lloyd's Victor Maitland's Arius's house. (Beverly Hills Cop was not filmed at the Lloyd mansion, but Young Lady Chatterley II was, and I highly recommend it for the scenery.) I identify all the cars. Jimmy becomes confused by a sex position he's never seen (he didn't see Young Lady Chatterley II). I reveal my secret weakness (low-oxygen environments). Jimmy casts Schwarzenegger and Stallone as Holmes and Watson (and immediately disavows it). I reveal why I washed out of commando school (poor sense of smell). Jimmy repeatedly points out who's not being nice (almost everyone). I insult the Scottish people by comparing them to the Amish (send your angry cards and letters to Tysto c/o Donald Trump, White House, America). And Jimmy insults the Scottish people by claiming Scotland has less history than the US (send your angry cards and letters to Jimmy B c/o Donald Trump, White House, America).

Hi everyone! After a holiday hiatus, Cinemastalgia is back to take you through the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, Commando: Terms of Enrampagement. Released in 1985, this movie, starring the Governator, was directed by Mark L. Lester, and also features the talents of Rae Dawn Chong, Alyssa Milano, Vernon Wells, Bill Duke, and David Patrick Kelly. Join Dave and Warwick on an odyssey of so many Arnold one-liners, the main character probably being a genetically-engineered super-soldier, and the complete silliness of a covert operative being named John Matrix... just... what?... Matrix? Is that even a name?

John Matrix, en tidligere elitesoldat, er reelt set gået på pension. Men da medlemmer af hans gamle gruppe bliver dræbt en efter en, er Matrix nødt til, for sidst gang, at gå i aktion. Desuden truer terrorister hans datter på livet, og den går ikke når man har med en proffesionel morder at gøre. Hør med mens vi vælter os i Arnold one-liners, store muskler og masser af fede våben.

Our good movie friend Tucker stops by to discuss one of the greatest/stupidest action movies of all time. Be prepared for ridiculous (hilarious) Arnold impressions. Commando is so iconic and such a staple in "men with guns" movies that it's hard to avoid and impossible to dislike. It's level of over-the-top is unequaled that for the next 15 years in film, every action attempts to be Commando but none have come close. It's the model, but at the same time it's SOOOOO stupid. So the plot...John Matrix must confront a fat man in a yarn shirt who isn't the main villain to rescue his daughter who probably is just really bored. Along the way there is an incredible amount of ridiculousness but SOOO much awesomeness as well as Arnold tears through a ludicrous amount of bad guys. It's very easy to understand Matrix's motivations but every other character really doesn't have any. Why is Cindy so involved? What could Bennett possibly have to gain? How does Dan Hedaya's guy possible expect to take over a country while he's just hanging out at home off the coast of California? None of it makes any sense. The violence...wow. It's at a 10 and none of it is anything but laughable. The end 15 minutes is the fastest death count until 2008's Rambo but does not bear the same brutality or gravity as Rambo. Its pretty much rolling on the floor laughing with tears streaming down your face levels of gravity. So none. Then there's Bennett. Vernon Welles (no offense) is one of the worst casts ever. He's pudgy, he's not very action-packed, he's got this crappy accent that isn't quite clear or necessary and then there's the character. Bennett is madly in love with John Matrix and very horny for him. His lust is supposed to be being mad with revenge but its clear that Bennett wants to have some alone time with Matrix involving a bear skin rug and a fire. Hilarious. Commando was written by a 12 year old, directed by one of the best stinker directors in history (Mark L. Lester), Schwaz is at his most Schwazy, so many one-liners and so many dead guys killed in horrific ways that it is an absolute must see/revisit/once once a year film forever.

ORIGINAL AIRDATE: November 3rd, 1985 --- On this week's show, we'll "bond" with treacherous casino owner Catlin [SPECIAL GUEST: Vernon Wells!] MISSION: When sixty million dollars disappears on its way to feeding starving African children, MacGyver is brought on to track it down. The search lands Mac in an island casino right out of one of James Bond's far-fetched capers. This week's highlights include: SPECIAL GUEST: VERNON WELLS! The insanely talented Vernon Wells did us the great honor of sharing his time with our program this week. He was such an asset to the series that he was invited back to play a second role in MacGyver's third season, evidently at RDA's insistence. Mr. Wells has had a long and prolific career, but he is perhaps best known for the roles of Wez in George Miller's The Road Warrior and Bennett in Mark L. Lester's Commando. More recently he enjoyed a 38 episode run as the main villain of Power Rangers Time Force, and he's certainly not showing any sign that he is slowing. Keep an eye out for the several upcoming projects he mentioned during our chat: - "The Promise" (which Wells will be directing himself!) - "Less Than Human" - 2013's "Throwback" (and the upcoming follow-up "Starspawn") - "Western X" (a web series) - "Tom Hennessy" - "After The Harvest" Editor's Note: When this episode was recorded, MacGyver's houseboat was still up for sale (with a mere $36K asking price) but is unfortunately off the market as of January 12th, 2015. Schwarzenegger as John Matrix with some kind words about today's guest. And here's more footage from that awesome episode ending stunt. Acoustic Resonance (Physics) Resonance occurs when a string, tube, or glass is vibrated at a specific frequency.  The result of which is sound.  Rubbing your fingers across the surface of a wine glass, for example, sticks and slips so quickly as you move your finger around the rim, that the once at the right frequency, the vibration of the glass produces sound that can be manipulated by add fluids to the glass which absorb the energy of the vibration.

Turtle Soup: The Ongoing Journey of The TMNT, From the Beginning.

      Hello. For the general well being of my sanity (and the general well being of you, our valued listener), I feel I must share with you one of the scariest, most terrifyingly uncanny things I have witnessed during my run on Turtle Soup. While reviewing the Playmates "Wacky Action Figures" from 1990 on Episode 52, it was my task to handle the review of one "Creepy Crawlin' Splinter". Immediately upon pulling up the image of our teen's furry father I was profoundly shocked by what I witnessed:      For those familiar with horrible 80's action movies, the terror may already being sinking into your brain and heart as it did mine that fateful Friday evening. I had watched Commando just earlier that day, as it is one of my favorite of the genre. This made the feeling of nauseous shock even worse, for it felt that I had just left the world of John Matrix and his evil counterpart Bennet. Yet, when I saw this dreadful figure all my withering mind could see was:             It was Bennet. In rat form. Staring at me through time; invading the sanctity of my journey. Try as I might, my brain could not turn from the sickening thought. Bennet?      Did they actually design, sculpt, and release a figure of Master Splinter modeled after you, Bennet?!       I mean, Commando came out in 1985. It's been 5 years, Bennet. Is THAT the breadth of your cultural impact? 5 years later and they make this?!      Commando was no slouch at the box office, Bennet, I understand that. $57 million gross on an R-rated action flick. Easily five times your budget. Made a lot of dudes happy. But Creepy Crawlin' Splinter?! Why?!      All due respect, sir, but you're a pretty rough dude in Commando. You collude with terrorists and kidnap your ex-war buddie's little girl. She's in your care for an hour and she already has a bloody lip and sits weeping softly in the corner while you sharpen your knife. What did you do to her, man? LIKE, WHY THE HELL IS SHE CRYING THAT MUCH, BENNET?!      My eyes, heavy with dread, slowly make their way to Creepy Crawlin' Splinter's accessories. Tail Mace... okay. Sewer Searchlight and Radar... useful, I guess. Rat Lantern... I could see Splinter actually using that. Ninja Knife... NINJA KNIFE?! Since when the hell has Splinter EVER used a knife. EVER?! Oh, that's right. NOT UNTIL HE WAS MODELED AFTER YOU, BENNET! AND WE KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT KNIVES, DUDE! HELL, YOU ALL BUT CREAMED YOUR RIDICULOUS, DIRTY, BLACK CARGO PANTS WHEN JOHN OFFERED UP A LITTLE KNIFE ACTION!      I MEAN, DID THE CONVERSATION SOUND LIKE "MORNIN', RALPH. EVER SEEN COMMANDO? NICE! I LOVE COMMANDO AS WELL! ANYWAYS, BACK TO WORK DESIGNING CONCEPTS FOR CREEPY CRAWLIN' SPLINTER... WAIT, I GOT A FUCKING AWESOME IDEA! LET'S MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE FUCKING BENNET! YEAH, THE GUY WHO HAS A HARD-ON FOR KNIVES AND BEATING / MOLESTING LITTLE GIRLS! IMMA BUY EVERYONE LUNCH!"      Whew... man. I can still feel the greasy dread on my mind. Anyways, thanks for allowing me to let off some steam about this whole thing, guys.            On this heaping sized episode of Turtle Soup, we cover Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vol. 1, Book 31, the 1990 Playmates Figures (Basic Assortment and Wacky Action Figures), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures Vol. 1, #11.
