In this episode of Normal World, Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela break down Joe Biden's aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis and the conveniently timed release of Original Sin, the new book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson alleging a cover-up of Biden's decline. They question how this could've gone unnoticed during his presidency, with Tapper flipping from defender to exposer, and Dr. Zeke Emanuel suggesting Biden had cancer since 2021. If Biden had cancer for years… what else have they been faking? From there: Fabio, goose trauma, Seagal's chairs, and a surprise rap name. Then it's AI Darth Vader, voice-selling ethics, and how tech is flooding culture with derivative sludge. As AI fools more people and feeds on its own content, the crew wonders what happens when machine-made nonsense replaces truth entirely.

In this episode of the show we are discussing one of the most successful movies Andrew Davis Directed and one that most definitely was the biggest success in Steven Seagal's acting career, the 1992 Under Siege. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the peculiar place Steven Seagal holds in the canon of 80s and 90s action heroes, how Under Siege slots into the post-Die Hard template and how it perhaps adds to it, and how Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey truly add colour to this entire spectacle. We also talk about the infamous Erika Eleniak cake scene, the many fables surrounding Seagal and his ego, Casey Ryback's cooking skills and much much more!

Steven Seagal (and us) never had it better than 1992's "Under Siege," co-starring Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey. This was director Andrew Davis's audition tape for "The Fugitive," and it becomes comical how much Seagal is squeezed out of his own movie. We talk about all the warheads of "Under Siege" and more!

Steven Seagals kataktär dör - och åker in i fängelse. (I DEN ORDNINGEN) Vi avslutar vårt Seagal-tema med Half Past Dead från 2002. Seagals stjärna hade dalat kraftigt sedan storhetstiden i början av 90-talet och Half Past Dead blev hans sista biofilm och bortsett från ett litet inhopp i Machete (2010) har det varit direkt-till-video sedan dess. Seagal spelar skurken Sasha Petrosevitch som blir dömd till en vistelse på det toppmoderna fängelset New Alcatraz. I fängelset sitter även Lester McKenna, en tjuv som sitter på en hemlighet vissa skulle göra allt för att få veta. När en grupp terrorister intar fängelset är det upp till Sasha och hans vän Nick (Ja Rule) och de andra fångarna att styra upp läget! Mycket nöje!

One night in Bangkok makes a soft man mumble! Your Stupid Minds heads to Thailand and returns to the Steven Seagal well with one of his transitional films from theatrical to direct-to-video. It's 2003's Belly of the Beast! Jake Hopper (Seagal) is an ex-CIA agent whose daughter Jessica (Sara Malakul Lane) is kidnapped by... some group in Thailand. They also, coincidentally, kidnap her friend Sara (Elidh MacQueen), who happens to be the daughter of a United States Senator which sparks a covert international incident. Hopper tells his dead wife goodbye and immediately plods off to Southeast Asia to find his daughter. The CIA suspects the Islamic fundamentalist group Abu Karaf is behind the kidnapping, but Hopper, based on nothing, already knows it isn't them. He takes some time to beat up a group of aggro young men menacing sex worker Lulu (Monica Lo), who immediately starts following Hopper around like a lost puppy. He also stops off at a Buddhist temple to meet up with his former partner Sunti (Byron Mann) and boost his mysticism stats in order to fend off Buddhist voodoo from an evil monk, who Hopper also knows about somehow. What follows is a series of competently directed action set pieces from veteran Hong Kong director Ching Siu-tung. Apparently Ching disagreed with Seagal about how the fight scenes should be directed; Ching wanted them to be interesting and dynamic, while Seagal wanted them to be bad and boring. Ching won this fight and the result is lots of fluid action with coverage of Seagal brought in only when absolutely necessary. The wrapping around these action scenes is a bunch of spy intrigue mumbo jumbo, goofy mysticism, and dialogue where Seagal can show off the phonetic Thai he learned five minutes before the shoot. Will Hopper find his daughter? Is Abu Karaf behind it? Is this jacked glistening general with a British accent the real bad guy? You'll have to listen to find out!

This week we're fittin' to talk about Steven Seagal, Ving Rhames, Danny Trejo, and … that other guy with the fucked up hands as seen in 2013's Force of Execution; a film that makes so little sense that you'll wish you were bitten by not one, but two exceedingly rare and extremely poisonous scorpions before getting your hands broken with a hammer.  Felons fire firearms, fracture fingers, and fist fight a flabby fellow!

On this special episode of THE BIG 4-0, Ron and Peter look back at the first SEVEN films from one of our childhood action heroes, Steven Seagal. ABOVE THE LAW (1988), HARD TO KILL (1990), MARKED FOR DEATH (1990), OUT FOR JUSTICE (1991), UNDER SIEGE (1992), his directorial debut ON DEADLY GROUND (1994), and his only theatrical sequel and arguably the end of his run as a major box office draw, UNDER SIEGE 2: DARK TERRITORY (1995). That's a lot of films and a lot of ground to cover, so apologies if we didn't do each film or his entire career justice. There are a lot of interesting discussion points left on the table, many touched on, but not fully explored - such as a deeper dive into his past and wild background claims (CIA and/or mob ties?), excellent/interesting supporting cast members we mention but don't trace the arc of their careers as we normally would (Sharron Stone, Pam Grier, Kelly LeBrock, William Forsythe, Jerry Orbach, Tommy lee Jones, Gary Busy, Erika Eleniak, Michael Cain, John C. McGinley, Joan Chen, Billy Bob Thornton, Eric Bogosian, Evert McGill, Morris Chestnut, and Kathrine Heigel, among others), how he always uses a .45 pistol the way Riggs and McClane always use a Baretta, his badass Bronco in MARKED FOR DEATH, the fact that he looks great - damn near hunky - at 40, no less, in UNDER SIEGE, Bassil Poledouris' awesome ON DEADLY GROUND score, and Seagal's music career (two actually-not-bad blues albums!), post-theatrical-direct-to-DVD period, TV career (A&E's LAWMAN), his fashion, political beliefs, and his legal troubles, both as an accused sexual predator and a falling-out with his producing partner Julius Nasso, which led to a real-life Seagal/mob altercation - but as a focus on just these seven films, how they've aged, and where we each rank them in his filmography, it's an in-depth, fun, and revelatory episode.

Firstly, we're a bit late releasing this one, so apologies for that. We're just going to release shows about once a month when we can as schedules are a bit of a bitch. Speaking of bitches, this Seagal movie is trash. We honestly didn't even get through it because our lives were more important. Lots of laughs, lots of talking about shit other than what's happening in the movie because, for real, very little happens in this film (and it's a stretch to call it a "film"). Next up is a fun one just for us because we like it - Rustler's Rhapsody from 1985! Go watch it - I think it's on Amazon. Check it if you haven't already and we'll chat about that one in October!

Hey there, fellow Watchers! Welcome back to another episode of the Born to Watch Podcast. This week, we took a trip down memory lane with the 1988 action flick "Above the Law," which many of us remember fondly from our teenage years. However, revisiting it now, we found that it didn't quite hold up as well as we expected. Let's dive into why this Steven Seagal debut might be better left in the past."Above the Law" was directed by Andrew Davis, who later found success with films like "The Fugitive." This movie marks the debut of Steven Seagal as Nico Toscani, a martial artist turned cop. In our youth, the film's explosive action and gritty storyline seemed groundbreaking. But watching it with fresh eyes, the cracks in its veneer are hard to ignore.The movie opens with a flashback to Nico's Vietnam history, where the CIA recruits him. This backstory is meant to give depth to his character but ends up feeling clichéd and overblown. Fast-forward to present-day Chicago, where Nico, now a police officer, stumbles upon a conspiracy involving corrupt officials and drug trafficking. The plot seemed so gripping years ago but now comes across as convoluted and lacking in real substance.One of the biggest letdowns is the film's action sequences. While Seagal's real-life martial arts skills may be considered at the time to be undeniable, the fight scenes feel repetitive and lack the excitement we remember. The choreography, once thrilling, now seems sluggish and poorly executed. The realism Seagal brought to the action genre in the late '80s has been eclipsed by more dynamic and inventive fight scenes in modern cinema.Seagal's performance as Nico Toscani also falls flat on rewatch. His stoic delivery and limited range of expressions make it hard to connect with his character. What once seemed like a cool, zen-like demeanour now feels more like wooden acting. Seagal's physical presence is still impressive, but it's not enough to carry the movie.The supporting cast, which includes Pam Grier as Nico's partner, Delores ‘ Jacks Jackson and Henry Silva as the villainous Kurt Zagon, does their best with what they're given. Grier's charisma is undeniable, but her character lacks depth and is often relegated to the sidelines. Silva's portrayal of Zagon is menacing, but his role as the rogue CIA operative is a caricature of villainy, lacking nuance.The cinematography in "Above the Law" also doesn't hold up as well as we'd hoped. Chicago's gritty, urban landscape is still a highlight, but the film's overall visual style feels dated. The practical effects and real locations, which once added a sense of realism, now seem low-budget compared to today's standards. Andrew Davis's direction, while competent, lacks the flair that would make the movie visually engaging.The soundtrack, composed by David Michael Frank, does little to elevate the film. The music, which once seemed tense and driving, now feels generic and forgettable. It neither enhances the action nor adds to the emotional weight of the scenes.One of the most disappointing aspects of revisiting "Above the Law" is its socio-political themes. The movie attempts to tackle issues of governmental corruption and abuse of power, but these themes are handled with a heavy hand and lack subtlety. What seemed like a bold commentary in our teenage years now comes across as preachy and superficial.Moreover, "Above the Law" relays a bygone era in action cinema. Steven Seagal's debut may have established him as a new kind of action star, but his style feels outdated. The film set a template that Seagal would follow in many of his future movies, but that template has not aged well. Modern audiences demand more complexity and innovation, which "Above the Law" fails to deliver.In terms of cultural impact, while the film did pave the way for a more realistic portrayal of martial arts in Western cinema, its influence has waned. The once groundbreaking portrayal of Aikido is overshadowed by more dynamic and varied martial arts depictions in contemporary films.Revisiting "Above the Law," it's clear that nostalgia can be a double-edged sword. The film, which once held a special place in our hearts, now feels like a product of its time, struggling to stay relevant in today's action landscape. It's a reminder that not all movies age gracefully, and sometimes, our memories of them are better than the reality.In conclusion, "Above the Law" might have been a thrilling ride back in the late '80s, but it doesn't hold up under the scrutiny of a modern rewatch. Its dated action, flat performances, and heavy-handed themes make it a tough sell for today's audiences. If you're a die-hard Steven Seagal fan or have a soft spot for '80s action flicks, you might still enjoy it. But for the rest of us, it's a reminder that not all cinematic memories are worth revisiting.So, fellow Watchers, if you're thinking about rewatching this one, you might want to think twice. Sometimes, it's better to let our teenage memories stay in the past. Until next time, keep watching and remember that some things are best left above the law.

l⁠inktr.ee/CatchingUpOnCinema⁠ This February is “Frame of Reference” month at Catching Up On Cinema! All month long, Trevor and Kyle will be reviewing films that have frequently been referenced in recent episodes of the podcast. This week, Trevor and Kyle review Felix Enriquez Alcala's, Fire Down Below (1997)! One of Steven Seagal's last major theatrical releases, Fire Down Below (1997) is an environmentally conscious action-thriller set in rural Kentucky. Featuring a host of country music star cameos, including celebrated singer/songwriter Kris Kristofferson as the chief antagonist, Fire Down Below is a cozy, but not especially thrilling watch. Apparently both gutted, and neutered in post-production, Fire Down Below is short on action, and long on down-home Appalachian charm. With beautiful locations and scenery, and capable performances from everyone in the cast not named “Seagal,” with a few more aikido flips and a little less “geetar” strumming, Fire Down Below could perhaps have been considered one of the few truly “good” Steven Seagal films, however sadly, it was not meant to be.

Half Past Dead is the last feature film with Steven Seagal as the main star to earn a theatrical release. If one were to track what came after, that would come as no surprise. In his thankfully short-lived action cinema prime, Seagal was serviceable. Light on charm, looks, and acting acumen, his unique brand of punishment was entertaining enough. But, as the years and the pounds piled on, the sheen wore off. Dramatically. Half Past Dead is a window into the next two decades of Seagal mumbling and sleep walking his way through increasingly terrible movies. There is little effort and most of the fighting is done by his plethora of stunt doubles. This would all be sad to watch if we weren't privy to what a tremendous asshole he is. There are very few movie stars who deserved to fall as flat on their face as he did. Even the 3% Half Past Dead scored on Rotten Tomatoes is probably too generous. Now, sit back, dull your senses with an Arctic Panzer Wolf from 3 Floyd's Brewing, and get those doo rags on! I, the Thunderous Wizard (@WriterTLK), Bling Blake, and Capt. Cash are half past caring about this mess of a movie! This Week's Segments: Introduction/Plot Breakdown – The good, the bad, and the deadly!

Welcome back to Unclear and Present Danger! It's our first episode of the new year and we're here with a pretty fun movie — “Executive Decision,” directed by Stuart Baird, produced by Joel Silver and starring Kurt Russell, Halle Berry, John Leguizamo, Oliver Platt, Joe Morton, Steven Seagal and many others. Music by, as you might expect, Jerry Goldsmith. In “Executive Decision,” an intelligence analyst played by Russell and a group of commandos, led by Seagal, must infiltrate a passenger jet bound for Washington DC that has been hijacked by a terrorist group. On board the jet is enough nerve toxin to kill everyone on the eastern seaboard. Most of the film is a tense standoff on the airliner, as the commandos try to defuse the nerve bomb and take down the terrorists, while the terrorists move forward with their mission. The tagline for Executive Decision was “Five miles above the earth, an elite team of six men must make an air to air transfer, in order to save 400 lives on board a 747... and 40 million below.”You can find Executive Decision to rent or buy on iTunes and Amazon.Our next episode of the podcast will be on “The Substitute,” otherwise known as “Stand and Deliver if the teacher body-slammed the students.”Connor Lynch produced this episode.
