Three incredible artistic talents came together at the beginning of the millennium to create an astounding work of art: Tom Cruise, John Woo, and Limp Bizkit... together they produced MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2 and we thank them every goddamn day of our lives.We're back to discuss M: I 2 with connoisseur of early 2000s cinema/vibes Katherine Vienneau. We've got the Chimera Virus, we've got Thandiwe Newton, we've got Dougray Scott oh my god we've got Dougray Scott. We've got masks galore, we've got sexual Tom Cruise having sexual sex, we've got at least a little bit of that classic John Woo doves and slo-mo and heroic bloodshed. We also pay our respects to Val Kilmer, Rest in Peace, and our disrespects to former friend of the show Paul Schrader, Rest in Piss. We talk about a very special Buckcherry appearance at Woodstock '99, and also recount our favourite Val Kilmer movies (TOP SECRET!, THE DOORS, THE SALTON SEA, and REAL GENIUS). Alex also tells us about the latest British comedy THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND which, unfortunately, sets up Ben to do sevearl Carey Mulligan impressions.Join us next week for MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III (Roman numerals this time, nice)Follow us @thefranchisees on Instagram and Twitter and email us at thefranchiseespod@gmail.com

STEROIDS - LE PODCAST : Alors qu'ils cherchent à s'affranchir d'un lourd passé, deux frères jumeaux reviennent dans leur ville natale pour repartir à zéro. Mais ils comprennent qu'une puissance maléfique bien plus redoutable guette leur retour avec impatience…Derrière ce résumé très élusif se cache SINNERS, le nouveau film de Ryan Coogler avec Michael B. Jordan. Un film hybride, qui rappelle fortement UNE NUIT EN ENFER de par son pitch, mais qui dépasse les références pour proposer une direction parfois inattendue. Est-ce suffisant pour convaincre nos chroniqueurs ? Vincent Guignebert adhère carrément à l'ensemble, tandis que Stéphane Moïssakis reste quand même sur la réserve.

Send us a textWelcome to You Heard it Here Last where we talk about news, you've already heard.In 1992 I was working night shift, which meant that on my days off I stayed up all night to keep my body in sync. What did you do to help you stay up all night in the 90's…well you either drank, or watched movies.I tended to do both.But I had a buddy that worked at a movie rental place and he was always hooking me up with the new releases. That's how I got my hands on an early home video release of John Woo's “The Killer.”That started my love and deep dive into GunFu. The Hong Kong Movie Genre of hyper violent and stylistic films focused around heroic bloodshed.So, when I saw the upcoming Backerkit release of Sisterhood – A Nuns with Guns TTRPG I was hooked.https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/parable-games/sisterhood-a-ttrpg-of-hard-boiled-nuns-exorcism-evil/launch_party?ref=update010325This thing looks really cool. Mix in a bunch of Nun Horror films with Hong Kong Action, A sprinkle of Constantine, Frank Miller's Sin City, and of course John Wick, and you get Sisterhood.This game hit Backerkit on March 13th, so you should still have time to get in and pledge if it interests you. As for me, I pledged the moment I heard the title.Christina, we have similar tastes in film, but I'm not sure if you love the Hong Kong Action as much as I do, what do you think about this one?[Kick to Christina]What about you Mike, are you breaking out the rosery for Sisterhood?[Kick to Mike] Next, we have an interesting article from Mike Tresca of EN World about creators reaching their fans and as he labeled it “The Coming Social Collapse”https://www.enworld.org/threads/rpg-evolution-the-coming-social-collapse.711928/Now I have never been a fan of social media. I watched “The Social Delima” the 2020 Documentary about social media and was properly terrified. My prior job unfortunately exposed me to all the dark and horrible places on the internet, so I always go into these conversations a bit guarded. This article focuses on fan engagement and the “For You” push of social media that can be a benefit, but it can also shut you down before you get started. The article says that the key is to cultivate Direct-to-Fan sales models, focusing on Community, and when you use social media be very strategic about its use.These are all great ideas, but in my experience, they are much easier said than done.I know this is going to be something Mike and Christina have strong opinions on so lets get started, Mike, Thoughts?[Kick to Mike]Christina?[Kick to Christina]And there you have it, All the news, you've already heard.

Executing a fight scene requires a lot of attention to detail, but spending time to get the right fight choreographer and stunt doubles to execute their vision can make for a rewarding watch. In the case of stuntman-turned-director Chad Stahelski, his directorial debut John Wick helped spark a franchise that moviegoers love due to its well-choreographed action. Although the series has become a common example of great fighting, there’s a whole host of other examples that date back decades. Hong Kong action cinema has given so much to the action genre, having helped popularize high-speed martial arts fighting for international audiences; through this style of filmmaking, audiences were introduced to filmmaker John Woo and actor Jackie Chan. Joining us to share their extensive knowledge of fight scenes are Tim Cogshell and Andy Klein.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay give each other face-hand waterfalls while talking about one of the most ludicrously unhinged studio films of all-time, 'Face/Off.' Kicking things off in typical John Woo fashion, Andy opens with a story about being in a drunk driving accident that led to a car flying airborne into a body of water. Then the fellas dive right into one of Nicolas Cage's most deranged performances that is somehow equalled in lunacy by John Travolta amping up the "Travoltage" to 11. The wild face-swapping premise is matched by the actions of Cage's Castor Troy who tongue-kisses anything that moves, while groping all backsides in sight. Among the most nonsensical plot holes was the decision to cast Joan Allen as the swaying-booty wife of Travolta's Sean Archer. There may be pacing issues once we hit the high security metal boot prison, but it all makes for a delightfully unforgettable experience including wonderful faceoffs between two of Hollywood's biggest stars who are both fully committed to the bit. "Plan B, let's just kill each other." The movie even ends with Archer emotionally manipulating his family to adopt the son of the man who killed their own child. Be sure to listen to the end to hear our recommendations for movies to pair with this '90s gonzo classic.

Timothy's picked some belters in the past with the likes of the Hitcher, Scarface, Nighthawks and others. And this time, he's gone for the iconic 1992 action crime thriller, Hard Boiled.Hard Boiled (1992), directed by action maestro John Woo, is a landmark in the Hong Kong action genre, known for its hyper-stylized violence and stunning gunplay choreography. The film was a departure from Woo's typical themes of brotherhood and loyalty, focusing instead on a relentless, hard-edged cop named Tequila. Woo wanted to push the limits of action cinema, combining emotionally driven storytelling with balletic shootouts. The film's production was intense and complex, featuring elaborate set pieces that required meticulous planning, including the now-legendary hospital shootout that took over a month to film.The production was plagued by challenges, from budget constraints to Woo's perfectionist approach, which led to prolonged filming. At one point, the crew had to rebuild part of the hospital set after a massive explosion shot went awry. Despite the hurdles, Hard Boiled became a genre-defining classic, with Woo's signature slow-motion action sequences and inventive camera work influencing Hollywood filmmakers for decades. It marked the end of Woo's Hong Kong career before his move to Hollywood, where his style became a blueprint for modern action cinema.If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Plot SummaryInspector Tequila, a tough Hong Kong cop, goes on a relentless mission to take down a dangerous arms-smuggling syndicate after his partner is killed in a brutal shootout. Teaming up with an undercover cop named Alan, who is deeply embedded in the criminal world, Tequila navigates a treacherous web of deception and violence. As tensions rise, the duo finds themselves in a deadly showdown inside a hospital packed with innocent lives at stake, culminating in an explosive battle of survival and justice.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠

The Ballad of John D. Cort continues as Tread Perilously watches an episode of Baywatch called "The End?" When a series of tremors leads to a larger shock, the Baywatch team is caught off guard for landslides, liquefaction, and dangerous panes of glass. Cort and Craig, meanwhile, find trouble when the shockwaves hit the spot they were diving. Back on land, Hobie helps Craig's wife, Gina, get to safety while Mitch tries to do his job. Shauni's attention is also split when Eddie fails to call in from his patrol. But, as it turns out, he's busy helping a pregnant woman who went into labor just as she helped him out of a jam. Justin tries to determine how many characters return for season 2 and Baywatch's first year in syndication. Erik remembers Jill and the Aussie guy Cort replaced. Both are surprised to watch an episode of the show that is nearly competent. Craig gets a full appraisal. Sea Hunt enters Justin's knowledge base. Captain Thorpe finally becomes indispensable.
