Get ready for a two-fer as we don our nun-drag and raise our voices for Whoopi Goldberg's Sister Act and its sequel. Has a life of poverty, obedience and chastity ever looked so dang fun? Has Catholic guilty ever been so successfully played for laughs? Why is Kathy Najimy such a national treasure? And is Lauryn Hill's voice the only redeeming part of the sequel? We'll get back to you after we perfect our Motown choreography.
It's Die Hard in a serial killer thriller! Or is it Die Hard in a murder mystery? Or Die Hard in a family drama? Or Die Hard in the great American play?! To make sense of all this, Phil and Liam are joined by special guest Sean Fennessey, the host of The Big Picture and a regular guest on The Rewatchables. The plot of Striking Distance speaks to its surprising level of complexity. After he testifies against his own partner for use of excessive force, Pittsburgh homicide detective Thomas Hardy (Bruce Willis) is exiled from the tight-knit police department and ends up working for the River Rescue division, where he becomes embroiled in a hunt for a serial killer who is dumping bodies in the water. As he launches his own unofficial investigation into the crimes with new partner Jo Christman (Sarah Jessica Parker), Hardy comes to suspect that the killer may be the very same man who murdered his police captain father years earlier. As the son of a cop himself, Sean has a particular insight on the film's subject matter, which captures a very specific cultural milieu in co-writer/director Rowdy Herrington's home town of Pittsburgh. They also discuss Sean's feelings about Die Hard, his thoughts on Bruce Willis' complicated career, and his fascinating real-life encounter with Dennis Farina, who plays (Willis' Uncle) Nick DeTillo, in what might be the movie's standout performance, even amongst a stellar supporting cast that includes Tom Sizemore, John Mahoney, Brion James, Andre Braugher, Tom Atkins and Robert Pastorelli. There's also in-depth analysis of the film's possible influences – from iconic 1970s filmmakers like Alan J. Pakula and Sidney Lumet, to great American playwrights like Arthur Miller and Eugene O'Neill – and to the films and TV shows that it may have subsequently influenced – such as CopLand, We Own The Night, Pride & Glory and The Wire. Are the guys giving this largely forgotten film too much credit? Possibly…but that's up to you to decide! The ‘Die Hard Oscars' provide some typically strong candidates for awards recognition, before Sean and Liam compete in the ‘Double Jeopardy' trivia quiz!

Striking Distance is a thrilling action movie that follows a demoted detective, Tom Hardy (Bruce Willis), who is on a mission to prove that a serial killer, previously believed to be dead, is operating again in Pittsburgh. Despite resistance from his ex-partner (Robert Pastorelli) and his new partner (Sarah Jessica Parker), Hardy tirelessly pursues the truth. Packed with suspenseful river chases, the movie unfolds as a gritty, high-stakes cat-and-mouse game filled with unexpected twists and turns.

Journalist and writer Séamus Malekafzali joins us to discuss the 1996 Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle 'Eraser'. It's an above average & satisfyingly self-aware film that represents the waning impact of a once-dependable action formula.We discuss the film's gleeful subversions of action movie tropes and the ways it challenges Arnold's well-cultivated action hero status, the star's late-90s twilight years before his next era as a politiician, and the seemingly long-abandoned notion of vertically integrated tie-in materials for big studio releases.

After we definitely reviewed the first movie in our 100th episode, we knew we'd have to come back and see what Eddie Murphy's classic character had in store for us next. Beverly Hills Cop II, released May 20th in 1987, has some of what you loved about the first film. Murphy himself considers it to be "the most successful mediocre movie of all time". We're both pretty split on it but there's one big thing we agree on: that theme tune is way too catchy.

There's railguns galore, Perfect Dark-style, as the podcast visits Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1996 classic Eraser. Suspiciously large brooches, high pressure skyscrapers, and some bloodthirsty CGI alligators all make for a fun time, as does Robert Pastorelli as Johnny Casteleone. Also, Sven Watch makes a return. Roland Hoffmann (@RolandoHoffmann) joins Rob and Jemry on the podcast, and creates some literal Shakespearean tragedy, and also probably traumatises a fictional deer. The Arnold Schwarzenegger film Eraser also comes up in discussion.
The average person spends over 90 days of their lifetime in the bathroom, so it stands to reason that at some point someone was going to die in a bathroom. In fact, many have, and we take a look at just a few of those instances in this episode; British politician Christopher Shale, actor Robert Pastorelli, X Japan guitarist Hideto Matsumoto, French national treasure Claude Francois, and 40s movie icon Albert Dekker.

Time to flash-back to 1996, get your rail guns ready, and cue up the Vanessa Williams jams, it's Eraser!
