Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark L Lester

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing COMMANDO (1985), from a story by Jeph Loeb, Matthew Weisman and Stephen de Souza and a screenplay by Steven de Souza, the film is directed by Mark L.

After E.T., Drew Barrymore could have done anything. Turns out that producer Dino de Laurentiis was about to scoop her up to be in two adaptations of author Stephen King's work. The second, Cat's Eye, is one we already covered way back at the beginning of Night Shift. But the first was Firestarter, King's borderline science fiction novel about a girl who sets fires with her mind. Join the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as they review Commando director Mark L Lester's 1984 adaptation of King's 1980 novel. Unsurprisingly, it's Adam's first viewing of the film. Will he be genuinely surprised? And come back next week as the boys review not the syfy adaptation as outlined here, but the 2022 Zac Effron starring film of the same name.

¡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

Salut l'équipe ✌, Dans ce vingtième épisode, on va plonger dans l'univers nocturne et impitoyable de Warriors, les guerriers de la nuit, signé Walter Hill. On reviendra sur l'atmosphère qui imprègne chaque ruelle du New York menaçant des années 70. L'esthétique de Walter Hill, qui mêle bande dessinée, western urbain et tension palpable à chaque plan. On évoquera les coulisses du tournage, entre rumeurs de tensions réelles entre gangs et défis techniques. Les personnages inoubliables, du charismatique Swan à l'inquiétant Luther avec sa réplique devenue culte : "Warriors, la partie va commencer !" Sans oublier la bande originale où synthés et guitares électriques rythment la course effrénée des Warriors pour regagner leur territoire. Un film qui a inspiré le style de jeux vidéo « beat hem all » dont l'influence sur la pop culture (rap et streetwear) est toujours prégnante quarante ans plus tard.

Ok, this episode started out like a speeding locomotive slamming into a wall of brick covered bike horns, but what else would you expect when Dominic is here?! The gang is back to discuss Mark L. Lester's post-apocalyptic "Class Of 1999" and, much like the movie, this one is a hot mess....whoa whoa whoa whoa WHOA.  Oob here, guess who uploads the epsiodes. E must have thought he could just write whatever he wanted about Class of 1999 and I'd let that fly.  No way! Grab a drink, or 5, cause you're gonna need it for this episode of Monster Candy Podcast!

Take a look at our face, we are the future! The boys toss out a quick collection of killer robot cinema, including the greatest entry into the "our substitute teacher is really a killer robot installed by a mercenary contractor to keep gang violence to a minimum" sci-fi/horror subgenre: Mark L. Lester's CLASS OF 1999. Keep your gears greased, this episode gets VERY violent.

We joined our friend Jay Dyer on his show for a discussion about three films that deal with trauma-based mind control designed to cultivate psychical powers, particularly in children. Breaking down De Palma's The Fury, Cronenberg's Scanners, and Mark L. Lester's Firestarter, we talk about theta programming, the real history of government-sponsored psychical research, and the occult ideology that drives such experimentation. Films such as these program their audiences to venerate mutants and crave the catharsis of seeing their powers unleashed. https://jaysanalysis.com/https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

We're back to the fascinating world of stuntmen and daredevils this time in the cave. We are looking at two films from director Mark L. Lester which he made very early in his prolific career. We start off with "Steel Arena" from 1973 which stars several real-life daredevils as they tour the backroads of America, performing their insane stunts at county fairs. We learn all about the struggles and dangers within the troupe and are treated to a few truly memorable moments. This is a very unique film that is entertaining from the first frame until the very disconcerting ending. Highly recommended! We follow this with 1977's "Stunts" which has a bonafide star-studded cast, including Robert Forster, Fiona Lewis, Joanna Cassidy, and Richard Lynch along with several other familiar faces. This is much more of a "movie" with a plot that revolves around a series of on-set murders that all target the stunt performers. It's got a few amazing moments in it, but it falls a little flatter than the other film. We then proceed to list the various things we've been watching for fun.Please let us know what you thought of the show, and send us some suggestions for future episodes.

Sadly, “bromance” month is coming to an end, but Not A Bomb has saved the biggest “bromance” for last. On this week's episode, the guy's welcome back Korean Kool, John Nance, to discuss 1991's buddy cop action film - Showdown in Little Tokyo. This was Brandon Lee's first big budget film and he was teamed up with Not A Bomb favorite, Dolph Lundgren. Over the past few years, the guys have discussed a lot of fun films and Showdown in Little Tokyo is easily one of the best. Listen as the gang shares their thoughts on Brandon Lee, Hollywood's use of body doubles, mannequin death, inept casting directors, and whether it's even possible to break your own neck.

We take a little horror break, and hit the streets for some exploitation action! And high school. Because when you think action, you think high school. But let me tell you, these teachers might actually struggle more than the gang members in the other two movies.Director Jack Hill brings us a tale of rivalries and betrayal in an all-female gang. Juvenile delinquency and exploitation trash go hand in hand, in Switchblade Sisters (1975)!Can you dig it? If you can't, then you might want to stay away from New York City in the '70s. When Cyrus, leader of the largest gang in the city, is assassinated while a truce is in place for a massive meeting of local gangs, one gang is falsely accused and suddenly on the run for their lives! Will The Warriors (1979) come out to play, in this irresistible cult classic?And then from there, I don't know what is going on at this high school, but the faculty is clearly in a lot of trouble. While the administration seemingly does nothing, a gang of punks makes the lives of the teachers a living hell! Should the Class of 1984 (1982) be expelled?

If there's a mission that no man could survive...then he's the man for the job.

Thursday Night Prime returns to Video Vagabond with the 1991 action-comedy, SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO! Skip Segal returns to the program as guest emeritus as we travel back to 1991 as Dolph Lundgren (Blonde Dolph!) makes his 2nd Appearance on TNP as he's joined by Brandon Lee, in his first major US role as the wise-ass side-kick. SHOWDOWN is an absolute treat, clocking in at 79 minutes with a 58 body count (great ratio!) with enough snappy dialogue and cringe-worthy moments that'll give you flashbacks of early-90s lunacy. Directed by Mark L. Lester, who also directed CLASS OF 1984, COMMANDO, ARMED & DANGEROUS, and CLASS OF 1999, the film is action-packed with slow-motion gunshots, plenty of explosions, indiscriminate violence, and graphic nudity. Just what a growing boy needs! So, sit back, make yourself some popcorn, grab a beer (make it a six-pack!) , and enjoy the rollicking trip down memory lane as we dive deep into...SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO! Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/video-vagabond/id1603519515Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0ZKxLf4sa8CACVOK27rVhA?si=c9-o6croSgO-FLAjfl9tHA&nd=1

La fiebre de Terminator aún estaba calentita cuando Mark L. Lester facturó esta entretenida pseudosecuela de su "Curso de 1984" que funciona como un crossover loquísimo entre cualquier peli de aulas peligrosas y el citado androide de Cameron.

The film really defines 80s action movies -- hyper violence, a killer soundtrack, and corny one-liners. The only things missing are gay panic and a good dose of misogyny.Ti Singh (In Search of the Last Action Heroes) and Chris Stachiw (The Kulturecast) join Mike to discuss action films, Schwarzenegger, the unmade sequel, the Russian remake, and more.Learn more about your ad choices.
