Podcasts about Stallone

If a movie was ever made for the Born to Watch treatment, this is it. In our Rambo III 1988 Review, Whitey is joined by two certified '80s action tragics, Bones and DJ Glazby, to revisit Sylvester Stallone at his biggest, most shredded and possibly most ridiculous. The Russians are back, Colonel Trautman needs rescuing, Afghanistan is the battlefield, and John J. Rambo is about to discover that retirement is apparently not an option.For Whitey, Rambo isn't simply another action franchise. John J. Rambo has basically been part of his movie-watching life forever, and Rambo III was the first instalment he saw on the big screen. Bones and Glaz have similar credentials, with all three admitting they've probably watched these movies more than 100 times. That level of unhealthy familiarity can only mean one thing: two hours of remembering lines, picking apart scenes and asking questions nobody involved in the production ever expected anyone to ask.Released in 1988, Rambo III takes everything from the previous film and turns the dial past eleven. Bigger budget. Bigger explosions. Bigger weapons. Bigger muscles. Bigger hair. Stallone is in absolutely outrageous condition, sporting a physique that sends the boys down several completely unnecessary conversational rabbit holes.The story begins with Rambo attempting to live a peaceful life in Thailand before Colonel Trautman arrives asking for help with a mission into Afghanistan. Rambo declines, Trautman heads off without him and promptly gets himself captured. Naturally, Rambo changes his mind and goes after his old mate.Simple.What follows is peak late-'80s action excess.The boys dive into Rambo's magnificent opening stick fight, that red headband, the suspiciously dangerous spectator arrangements and the logistical nightmare of figuring out who exactly everyone is betting on. There are questions about the ridiculous staircase Trautman climbs to find Rambo, Rambo's magnificent 1988 hair and whether Colonel Trautman might be one of the oldest soldiers ever voluntarily sent behind enemy lines.Then there's Stallone himself.Rambo talks considerably more this time around, although nobody is going to mistake him for Shakespeare, and the boys discuss whether Sly knew exactly what sort of movie he was making or genuinely believed there was something much more profound buried underneath all those explosions.One thing everyone can agree on is that the practical action still looks fantastic.Real explosions, squibs, stunt work, enormous military hardware and physical effects give Rambo III a weight that many modern CGI-heavy action movies struggle to recreate. The cave sequence in particular gets plenty of love, with Whitey arguing that Rambo hunting enemies through the darkness is exactly where the character is at his best. Even the sound of Rambo firing an arrow gets nominated as one of cinema's great instantly recognisable noises.There's also plenty of behind-the-scenes madness. The film carried an enormous budget for its time, went through a director change early in production and ultimately became one of the biggest action productions of its era. Somehow, the Razzies still came calling, something the boys have very strong opinions about.Because this is Born to Watch, Rambo III also leads us into the wider Rambo universe. The boys attempt to rank the entire franchise, debate First Blood versus the increasingly outrageous sequels, revisit Rambo II and discuss where Rambo III belongs among Stallone's greatest action achievements.And then comes the most important question.Does Rambo III still work?It's too long. It's incredibly stupid in places. Its politics have aged in fascinating ways. Colonel Trautman may be surprisingly useless. But when Stallone picks up the bow, the explosions start, and that glorious Jerry Goldsmith score kicks into gear, none of that seems to matter quite as much.This is Born to Watch, The Movie Review Podcast where we don't take the movies, or ourselves, too seriously.Strap yourself in, tighten the headband and prepare for peak Stallone.Rambo III is back.#RamboIII #Rambo #SylvesterStallone #80sMovies #80sAction #ActionMovies #MovieReview #BornToWatch #MoviePodcast #Stallone

In this episode, we're taking a look at two of Stallone's biggest franchises. First up, we look at the time he boxed Mr. T in ROCKY III. Then, we watch as he helps stop the Russians in Afghanistan in RAMBO III.

On today's new episode, we dive into Rocky II and ask the big question: is this actually better than the original?   We also break down Stallone taking over the director's chair, Apollo's wounded pride and hate mail, Adrian's polarizing storyline, and that absolutely legendary training montage through Philly. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:09:30  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:15:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:29:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **ASPCA-  To learn more about Pet Health Insurance, visit http://aspcapetinsurance.com/breakfast  **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgedistillery.com⁠ **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child's full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.

Five years ago, producer & host George Sirois released a five-part miniseries on this show, celebrating the 35th anniversary of TransFormers: The Movie. This week on Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity, George has re-launched the third part of the miniseries to celebrate the 40th anniversary and upcoming re-release of the film. "Heaven Only Knows What You Might Find" features composer Vince DiCola telling about how his work on the music of Rocky IV led to him becoming a part of Hasbro History. PRODUCER'S NOTES: This episode was the second appearance for Vince DiCola on Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity. The first one took place a year before, when he shared stories of how he started his journey as a musician, how working with Frank Stallone on the Sylvester Stallone-directed Staying Alive led to him co-writing the hit song "Far from Over," and how he would blow Stallone's mind with his demo recording of "Training Montage" and get the job composing the score to Rocky IV. This week's conversation acts as a Part 2 of an interview duology. Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity exists primarily as a platform for creatives of all kinds (authors, filmmakers, stand-up comics, musicians, voice artists, painters, podcasters, etc) to share their journeys to personal success. It is very important to celebrate those voices as much as possible to not only provide encouragement to up-and-coming talent, but to say thank you to the established men & women for inspiring the current generation of artists.If you agree that the Excelsior Journeys podcast serves a positive purpose and would like to show your appreciation, you can give back to the show by clicking HERE.Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity is now a proud member of the Podmatch Podcast Network, and you can access all shows in the network by clicking HERE.

This is a preview of a premium episode from our Patreon feed, Paid Costly For Me! Head over to Patreon.com/PodCastyForMe to hear more for just $5 a month. Like a bizarro Clint Eastwood, Sylvester Stallone parlayed two iconic roles into a decades-long career as a movie star and filmmaker, restauranteur, and conservative hero - only he's short and a lousy director. In 2019, Stallone put his crusading 'Nam vet character out to pasture with RAMBO: LAST BLOOD, a half-assed UNFORGIVEN riff that finds Rambo going up against some rightwing fever-dream "Mexican" human traffickers. Beyond featuring almost zero Mexicans, the film also features zero Mexico: it was largely shot in Bulgaria. Bulgaria's rise as a filmmaking hotspot is thanks in large part to the success of Stallone's Expendables franchise, which allowed production company Millennium Films to turn Sofia's Nu Boyana Film Studios into a one-stop offshoring shop for Hollywood. Joining us to discuss his experience working on this film (!) and the state of the Bulgarian film industry is filmmaker and co-host of the Cinema Strolls podcast Roman Pessarov! We also take a look at the Rambo series as a whole, being a cinephile outside of the US, and learn that even former Soviet dads are ultimately a lot like other dads. GREAT ep, check it out!

Jon Miltimore is back — writer, commentator, and one of the sharpest guys covering arts, culture, and politics on Substack. This is his second time on the show and we did not run out of things to talk about. Topics include: why California can't fight wildfires and why Native Americans had better land management practices; the World Cup finally breaking through in the US; what to actually expect at a Bob Dylan concert when you're a Dylan fan (Jon didn't get what he wanted; he has no regrets); Ben Askren's double lung transplant and why elite athletes bounce back from things that would end most people; the new Stallone biopic about how Rocky got made — specifically the part where a broke, dog-selling, parking-car Stallone turned down $1 million because he refused to not play the role himself; the Rocky franchise and what it means that it somehow worked as it became more absurd; working out at 44 and 47 and why exercise is mental health; the case for travel sports (and why Matthew Yglesias is wrong); and why you should never outsource teaching your kid to ride a bike.

Nerd Culture #269 is ook te bekijken op https://youtu.be/glS_AYkpva8 Deze week schuift Jelle weer aan naast Koos voor een aflevering die volledig in het teken staat van Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Koos zag de langverwachte Marvel-film in de bioscoop en deelt zijn uitgebreide, spoilervrije indrukken, waarna ze natuurlijk ook dieper op de film ingaan. Daarnaast bespreken ze het laatste nieuws uit San Diego Comic-Con, met updates over Ghost Rider, Black Panther 3, Lanterns, Home Alone, Indiana Jones en nog veel meer uit de wereld van films, series en comics. Spider-Man Brand New Day Review Spider-Man is terug en hoe. Koos dook de bioscoop in voor Spider-Man: Brand New Day en deelt zijn uitgebreide, spoilervrije indrukken van misschien wel de belangrijkste superheldenfilm van het jaar. Is Marvel er na No Way Home opnieuw in geslaagd een onvergetelijke Spider-Man-film af te leveren? Daarnaast bespreken Koos en Jelle waarom Peter Parker ogenschijnlijk immuun is voor de veelbesproken 'superhero fatigue'. Terwijl andere Marvel-films wisselende resultaten boeken, lijkt Brand New Day af te stevenen op een van de grootste openingsweekenden ooit. Uiteraard duiken we ook in wat dit betekent voor de toekomst van Spider-Man én het Marvel Cinematic Universe. X-Men '97 Season 2 Review Na een ijzersterk eerste seizoen is ook X-Men '97 terug, en zowel Jelle als Koos hebben de eerste drie afleveringen van seizoen 2 gezien. Weten de makers het hoge niveau vast te houden, of blijkt een vervolg op zo'n geliefde serie toch lastiger dan gedacht? Ze bespreken hun eerste indrukken, de nieuwe verhaallijnen, de terugkeer van bekende mutanten en waarom X-Men '97 opnieuw laat zien waarom de X-Men tot de sterkste Marvel-franchises behoren.

Welcome back to Not A Bomb, the podcast where we resurrect cinema's most infamous box office disasters and ask the burning question: is it a bomb? This week, Troy and Brad strap into the chaotic, nitro‑fueled world of the 2001 racing epic Driven. And before we go any further, yes, Troy is back from surgery and only slightly a little high on pain medication, which honestly might be the perfect state of mind for revisiting a movie this unintentionally wild.Driven arrived during the era when Hollywood believed the cure for every script problem was “more CGI, more speed, more Stallone.” The film promised high‑octane racing, intense rivalries, and behind‑the‑scenes drama in the world of CART. What audiences got instead was a dizzying mix of digital car mayhem, melodramatic speeches, and physics‑defying crashes.Troy and Brad dig into the film's over‑the‑top action sequences, the baffling script choices, and one of the worst displays of “acting” this podcast has ever seen…. cough, cough - KIP! They also explore how the film's reputation has evolved, why some viewers have embraced its unintentional charm, and whether Driven deserves a second look or remains a cautionary tale about letting Stallone write his own sports movies.Buckle up, avoid the flying manhole covers, and prepare for a ride that makes absolutely no sense. This is one cinematic spinout worth revisiting.Want to help support the show? Head over to the Not A Bomb Tee Public store and check our merchandise.

Ep. 40 - Commando & CobraThis week, we step onto the front lines of the legendary Stallone vs. Schwarzenegger arms race with Mark L. Lester's Commando (1985) and George P. Cosmatos's Cobra (1986). The mid-1980s saw two mega-stars constantly trying to out-gun, out-muscle, and out-body-count each other, giving birth to a wildly specific archetype: the benevolent rogue. We trace how Reagan-era anxieties funneled straight into stories about one-man armies stepping up because the justice system lacks the nerve to finish the job. It is a double feature about complete disregard for institutional authority, ridiculous firepower, and total narrative escalation. Whether John Matrix is delivering ice-cold one-liners while ripping apart an island army or Marion Cobretti is single-handedly taking down a fascist killer cult, both films prove that in 80s action cinema, subtlety was left at the door.

Is Over the Top really the cheesy '80s guilty pleasure everyone says it is... or has this Sylvester Stallone classic been misunderstood for decades?In this episode of Video Villa Podcast, we're taking another look at Stallone's arm-wrestling drama and asking whether Over the Top deserves far more respect than it usually gets. Beneath the trucker hats, over-the-top montages, and larger-than-life arm wrestling matches is a surprisingly heartfelt story about redemption, fatherhood, and second chances.Join us as we break down what works, what doesn't, and why this forgotten Stallone film has become a favorite among fans who are willing to look beyond its reputation.Follow Us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/video_villa_entertainmentTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@videovillaentmtFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/p/Video-Villa-Entertainment-Podcast-100086204155260/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/VideoVillaEntertainmentWebsite: https://www.videovillaentertainment.com

This week, we're joined by Davide Mutendji of Elevation Rhythm, whose new album WASHED just dropped. He tells us about the heart behind the project and how Drake became a surprising inspiration for the worship group.In RELEVANT Buzz, the trailer for ‘I Play Rocky' arrived, and it sent us down a rabbit hole into Sylvester Stallone's faith journey — including a conversation where he calls out Christians who think they can skip church. (Rocky would never!) We also dig into a new study finding only one in three young adults are dating even though nearly all of them want to get married (the reasons are bleak). And with the new season of ‘Quarterback' out on Netflix, we look at Baker Mayfield's road from college wild child to a real-deal faith story.In Slices, a school district in New York is putting a humanoid robot named in classrooms, and Jesse loves it. And Derek shows us the clip of the grandpa getting flipped by a bison this week.

Rex Linn on Unsolved Mysteries, Westerns, Stallone, Cusack & His Dream Role In this funny, loose, and unexpectedly heartfelt episode of Reza Rifts, Keith Reza sits down with legendary character actor Rex Linn for a conversation packed with old-school Hollywood stories, career turning points, and the kind of behind-the-scenes chaos that only comes from decades in the business. Rex opens up about his earliest acting job recreating a real-life bank robber for Unsolved Mysteries, the surreal audition journey that landed him Cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone, and why that movie changed his life in more ways than one.  The episode also dives into Rex's love of Westerns, his admiration for The Jack Bull, his memories of John Cusack, Mark Rolston, Kurt Russell, John Lithgow, Adam West, and Bob Dylan, plus hilarious stories from Rush Hour, Zodiac, Wyatt Earp, Lethal Weapon, and the gloriously absurd Zombeavers.

This week we take a look at a time of bulging biceps, thunderous thighs, and gigantic glutes. We pitch Schwarzenegger against Stallone and ask who provided the most burl for your buck? Who served up the best bicep curl and bulging vein? Who filled the cinema screen with so much man-muscle that not even Cinemascope could cope with it? We look at the films released from 1981 to 1989 from both hunks and dare to answer the question: who was the burliest of them all? Films Considered for Burliness Nighthawks Conan the Barbarian Rocky III First Blood Conan the Destroyer The Terminator Rambo: First Blood Part II Red Sonja Commando Rocky IV Cobra Raw Deal Over the Top Predator The Running Man Rambo III Red Heat Twins Lock Up Tango & Cash   Find us here: https://zappedtothepast.com/ If you would like to help us out and join our Patreon, find it here: https://www.patreon.com/zappedtothepast If you want to buy a Coffee for Zapped to the Past, go here: https://ko-fi.com/zappedtothepast Need our links in one place - you can do that too: https://online.pubhtml5.com/oowg/grrx/#p=1 Want some Zapped to the Past merch? https://www.zappedtothepast.shop

Eisenhower signed the Alaska Statehood Act into law. This monumental legislation paved the way for Alaska to officially be admitted as the 49th U.S. state on January 3, 1959, culminating decades of advocacy by territorial leaders - The push for statehood had long been championed by key political figures, notably Delegate E.L. "Bob" Bartlett, Governor Ernest Gruening, and future Governor Bill Egan. President Eisenhower signed the act without fanfare, simply stating, "Well, that's 49". The historic moment was celebrated locally with massive bonfires, including a famous one on the Park Strip in Anchorage, and the shortest banner headline in the Anchorage Daily Times: "WE'RE IN. - Sarah's background and story, a life dedicated to the outdoors, guiding bears in Kodiak, transitioning to shooting instruction, coaching the shot under pressure, shooting games, PRS (Precision Rifle Series), NRL (National Rifle League Hunter), Young Guns, the shooting match game, bear charges, red light/green light, wobble zone, representing Leupold Optics, Leupold's new  BX-HD Binoculars, Range Finders vs. Built in Range Fining, AWP trivia brought to you by Connoisseur Crude, 1915 1st running of the Mount Marathon 5k Race in Seward, AK, 1st Champion James Walters, Allie McLaughlin holds the all-time women's record for the Mount Marathon race, The world record for the longest rifle shot on a target is 4.4 miles (7,774 yards), Rapid Fire brought to you by Alaska Gun Co., closing statement and big shout out to Chad, Caleb Stillians, Sarah Leupold Optics & Accurate Advantage!

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls -  is this a better than the original or a lazy, cash-grab sequel that Jim Carrey tried to tank on purpose?  Isr the raccoon “cliffhanger” opener is actually better than Stallone's Cliffhanger?  Does Ace crosses the line from “weird guy” to straight-up unlikable and does the rhino birth scene belong in the all-time physical comedy hall of fame?   Is this truly just a “kid movie” carried by Carrey's energy, or does it deserve more credit than the critics ever gave it?  We answer all of this and more! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:30  - Pertinent movie details  •0:11:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:18:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:23:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child's full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.

Message Dan and MikeRocky turns 50 this December, and Sylvester Stallone just turned 80 — so we're marking both with our very first Stallone review. A broke, unknown actor with bit parts in mob films turned down nearly $400,000 from the studio, wrote the script in three days, and sold his own dog to make the one movie he refused to let anyone else star in.We get into the guerrilla filmmaking behind it: a budget under a million dollars, a 28-day shoot, no permits, tarps hauled in to fake the Philadelphia skyline in New York, and a training montage stitched together from footage grabbed wherever they could get it. We talk about the producers mortgaging their homes to finish the film, the choreographers who walked off over how the fights were staged, and Stallone ultimately taking the choreography credit himself. We also cover the film's two Godfather connections through Talia Shire and Joe Spinell, the legacy of Burgess Meredith, Carl Weathers, and Burt Young, and how Rocky beat out a stacked 1976 Best Picture field that included Taxi Driver, Network, and All the President's Men.Whether you've seen Rocky fifty times or somehow never seen it, we make the case for why it still holds up as one of the most complete films ever made. Come for the trivia, stay for the argument about whether this is truly a perfect movie.Support the showOh Brother Podcast:Support the Show!

O tema desta semana é o realizador, argumentista e intérprete Sylvester Stallone, que cumpre hoje 4/5 de século. Para si, ele é quem? O eterno Rocky ou o eterno Rambo?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zum 80. Geburtstag von Sylvester Stallone würdigt der Filmkritiker Wolfgang M. Schmitt den Schauspieler als weit mehr als einen Actionstar. Seine ikonischen Figuren Rocky Balboa und John Rambo stünden für den amerikanischen Traum, aber auch für dessen Schattenseiten, so Schmitt im Gespräch mit SWR KULTUR: „Rocky ist ein ganz deutliches Zeichen: Man kann es schaffen – aber zu welchem Preis?“, sagt Schmitt. Rambo wiederum verkörpere einen Kriegshelden, der nach seiner Rückkehr von der Gesellschaft vergessen werde und um Anerkennung kämpfen müsse. Stallone sei deshalb lange unterschätzt worden, so Schmitt: „Sylvester Stallone wurde sehr lange unterschätzt – und das sollte jetzt aufhören.“

We follow Rambo into the Afghan mountains! He's rescuing his fellow Americans from Soviet scum! We talk about the real Afghan-Soviet conflict, Stallone's slump, AMERICA YEEEEEEAH!, and many other things that will be painfully connected to Trump's America. Happy 250...

McKay demonstrates that life's greatest victories are achieved through steady, everyday efforts rather than sudden breakthroughs through his exploration of the "go the distance" mindset. While our world celebrates quick finishes, real resilience is forged in the quiet, ongoing dedication that persists long after the initial excitement fades.Alongside his friend Austin's adaptation to a paralyzing injury, McKay shares stories of deep perseverance. He explores Stallone's true vision for Rocky and W.P. Kinsella's pursuit of redemption in Shoeless Joe. He then traces Katalin Karikó's long mRNA research and José Hernández's twelve attempts to join NASA. These examples, including Jessica Long's Paralympic path, show that success lies in the quiet, daily struggle.Main Themes:Why the "go the distance" mindset serves as the foundation of long-term success and personal transformationHow Austin redefined his daily reality and found purpose through handcycling after a life-altering accidentRealizing that extraordinary results come from continuing to make ordinary efforts long after excitement fadesRocky Balboa's definition of going the distance as a quest to discover identity rather than simply winning a championshipW.P. Kinsella's Shoeless Joe and the journey of reconciliation and healing at the heart of Field of DreamsWhy the greatest rewards in life arrive when we choose to push past the point where quitting would be reasonableJosé Hernández's journey from migrant farmworker to NASA astronaut through twelve years of persistent applicationsHow Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman's decades of unrecognized mRNA research paved the way for the rapid COVID-19 vaccine responseUnderstanding the industrial history of "losing steam" and the vital importance of refueling our minds and emotions dailyJessica Long's athletic legacy and how true greatness is forged in the invisible, uncelebrated moments of practiceTop 10 Quotes:"Real life is not built around breakthroughs; it is built around continuation.""Real wins in life happen to those who stay the course, who go the distance.""Often, the greatest victory is becoming the kind of person who can stay in the arena long enough to get there.""The greatest rewards in life often come only after we continue beyond the point where quitting would have been reasonable, when we go the distance.""The question is never whether discouragement will arrive; it is rather what will happen after it arrives.""We don't know when the breakthrough will arrive... What we do know is that continuing creates possibilities that quitting never can."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

This week!!! It's the last one in our Retro Rewatch series as we're reviewing Over the Top !— It's arm wrestling, big rigs, and peak 80s Stallone. Does this underdog classic still deliver, or is it stuck in neutral?Listen now!

Yes, we have plenty of news to cover BUT - Stallone has caught some heat from Seth Rogan about only having less than 5 good movies in his belt buckle. Jake believes Seth Rogan doesn't come close to Stallone's level, and Josh doesn't have Stallone in the Mount Rushmore of all-time action stars. Also on the show: Time blindness is blamed on white people and racism, Egypt and Iran are ironically playing in the "Pride Match" of the World Cup, WVNN host Dale Jackson joins the show to talk the biggest headlines, and today's Maxterpiece Theater.

James Mangold's Cop Land Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, Robert DeNiro, and Sylvester Stallone in one of the most highly-anticipated films of the 1990s . . . Springing from the headlines of the 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, and today, James Mangold's 1997 police corruption drama was released to critical acclaim and tepid box-office. In an era of 90s Independent filmmaking, focusing on newspaper/magazine headlines and evening newscasts, Mangold would write and pitch a story (ostensibly a Western) set in modern day life. The reluctant hero, Sheriff Freddy Heflin (an overweight, tired, and sad Stallone), who is neither the Rocky or Rambo hero Stallone is known for, fighting the corruption of an all-star cast of big-city police living outside of the city in a mob financed town. Stallone versus Keitel, Robert Patrick, Peter Berg and John Spencer, with a cocaine-addled Ray Liotta as back-up, and a disheveled, angry, and calculating Internal Affairs officer played by DeNiro manipulating the scene, Mangold's second film - with obvious comparisons to Scorsese - stands out as an brutal and honest look at police corruption and those wiling to stand up against it. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com - Our Continued Thanks and Appreciation.

Joe, Kyle, and Rick review the 1983 American dance drama film and the sequel to Saturday Night Fever, "Staying Alive." Directed by Sylvester Stallone, written by Stallone and Norman Wexler, and music by Frank Stallone and the Bee Gees. The film stars John Travolta, Cynthia Rhodes, Finola Hughes, Frank Stallone, Julie Bovasso, and Steve Inwood. We ranked the 12 songs from the soundtrack and picked our favorite lines, characters, performers, and scenes. Enjoy!

We're the perfect blend of young and old so we don't need a hot, new crew to help us discuss the 2014 sequel, The Expendables 3. You'll hear several conversations about the casting of Mel Gibson and how his offscreen problems may help the onscreen shenanigans of his character, Conrad Stonebanks, a lengthy talk about a fifteen to twenty minute story excursion so Stallone can recruit a new team with the help of Dr. Frasier Crane, and the highs and lows of bringing in Wesley Snipes into your franchise only to forget that you got Wesley Snipes to join your franchise. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

This week, The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel locks itself inside Escape Plan 2: Hades — the sequel that takes the grounded prison-break concept from the original and launches it into full sci-fi action insanity.With shifting prisons, digital mind games, endless betrayals, and a whole lot of punching, Escape Plan 2 somehow manages to be both wildly confusing and incredibly entertaining.We dig into everything, including:

Stallone, always on the hunt for the next action blockbuster, took a shot at sci-fi in 1993 with the release of Demolition Man. Set in the future of 1996 and then the future of 2032 it pits him against Wesley Snipes' Simon Phoenix having the absolute time of his life. And that's the whole movie real, just an absolute blast from the get go with somewhat accurate depictions of the future mixed in with absolute insanity like the three sea shells situation.

We're lumbering at full speed to our microphones like Stallone towards an airplane hangar because we're so excited to talk about the 2012 sequel, The Expendables 2. You'll hear why we think this is the best sequel in the series, why we think the entire series finds it stride in this particular movie, and several conversations about the acting abilities of these stars and whether or not people should recognize those abilities more. Enjoy! Thanks to our monthly supporters Matt and Vicki S Kate Lampe Daniel Prudhoe Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami

The Summer of 86 at 40 is a weekly retrospective journey through United States pop culture surrounding the films released in May, June, July and August of 1986. Brandon Peters, Scott Mendelson and Aaron Neuwirth take a weekend by weekend look at the films released as well as the news stories, commercials, television and music that rounded out the general public’s lives as they lined the pockets of the box office to see these movies. May 23-25, 1986: It’s Cobra week. I’ve made no secret of being a big fan of Stallone’s over done Dirty Harry riff. But are Aaron & Scott? We also look at ANOTHER Poltergeist movie during Summer Of as we enter “The Other Side”. And Klaus Kinski terrorizes an apartment building in Crawlspace. We’ll also be discussing the box office report, notable news stories, a 1986 commercial, the top 10 Nielsen rated tv programs for the week and the top 10 of Casey Kasem’s American top 40 from the week these films were released.

Dolph Lundgren (Rocky IV, Expendables, Creed II, The Witcher) joins us this week for the most open conversation we have ever had. Dolph walks me through the kidney cancer diagnosis he kept secret for seven years, the misdiagnosis at a major LA hospital that nearly cost him his life, and the surreal moment he got the news in Sweden then drove the Gumball Rally at 150 miles an hour through Europe with his daughter sitting next to him. We also get into the suicidal stretch that followed treatment, the Stallone rift over a possible Drago movie, the new reality show with his daughters, and why he now calls the whole cancer experience a gift.

Cathy and Todd discuss Rocky IV, the 1985 film that Sylvester Stallone wrote, directed, and starred in, grossing $300 million on a $31 million budget and spending six weeks at number one over Christmas. They break down Apollo Creed’s shocking death at the hands of Ivan Drago and the real story of Brigitte Nielsen sliding a photo under Stallone’s hotel room door and landing a role he wrote specifically for her. They dig into what the film is really about, whether Drago is a villain or the Soviet state’s most tragic victim, how every great sports movie is secretly about an individual fighting an institution that doesn’t want them to win, and why a film that won five Razzie Awards is still so beloved to this day. This is our last entry for Rocky month!

Cathy and Todd discuss Rocky 3, the 1982 sequel where Stallone ditched everything that made the first two movies feel real and ended up with the biggest hit of the franchise anyway. They talk about where Mr. T came from, how Hulk Hogan got hired, and how Stallone dropped 40 pounds so fast it caused memory loss. They get into how “Eye of the Tiger” only exists because Queen said no, the statue that Philadelphia didn’t want, and an ending that freezes mid-fight. Also Paulie, because there’s always something to say about Paulie.
