The Grand Theft Auto 6 rumor mill is firing on all cylinders. Alleged leaks suggest GTA 6 could make players actually refuel their cars, because apparently escaping the cops and committing fictional felonies wasn't immersive enough. Now we may get the authentic experience of realizing the tank is on E at the absolute worst possible moment.Would stolen cars come with random amounts of gas? Could you abandon one because the tank is empty? Would GTA Costco memberships get you cheaper fuel? These are the important questions being asked by this comedy podcast while the rest of society presumably does something productive.Then we discover—or rediscover, depending on how damaged everyone's memory is—the 1985 cinematic achievement known as Gymkata.The premise is magnificently stupid: take gymnastics, combine it with karate and create an unstoppable martial art. That's it. That's the movie. Olympic gymnast Kurt Thomas is sent on a dangerous mission where his greatest weapon is himself…and the conveniently placed gymnastics equipment that somehow keeps appearing whenever dozens of bad guys need to be kicked in the face.Moon reveals that Gymkata has been living rent-free in his subconscious since childhood, including scenes that still randomly appear in his dreams. This launches the crew into an extremely important celebration of the ridiculous action and sports movies of the '80s: Rad, No Retreat, No Surrender, Best of the Best, No Holds Barred, Bloodsport and the glorious era when movie executives could apparently greenlight anything as long as somebody knew karate.Naturally, Jean-Claude Van Damme doing the splits leads Lern to ask questions about male anatomy that nobody was emotionally prepared to answer. Suddenly we're discussing whether men have a “seam,” whether God is responsible for said seam, and why absolutely none of this information was included in health class.And then Steven Seagal arrives.The crew finds audio of Seagal telling a story about being in Kazakhstan before stopping to ask, “How do you say in English…” despite being born in Lansing, Michigan. What follows is a forensic investigation into Steven Seagal's increasingly mysterious relationship with the English language, fake accents, international travel and whether spending enough time somewhere can legitimately change how you talk.From there, Crap on Celebrities turns surprisingly philosophical when Dr. Dre and Billy Corgan land on opposite sides of the AI music debate. Dre sees artificial intelligence as another creative tool, while Corgan wants absolutely nothing to do with it. Moon breaks down how producers already use loops, samples and pre-built musical elements, leading to a bigger question: where exactly does using technology stop being a tool and start becoming “cheating”?This comedy podcast also gets into Bret Michaels recovering from kidney stone surgery while apparently refusing to surrender his hat under any circumstances, Kacey Musgraves performing while floating on giant disco-ball truck nuts, Dolly Parton exploring avatar performances, Bonnaroo taking a year off, and St. Louis artist Slater covering Hole's “Violet.”Plus, the CW dumps Miss USA and Miss Teen USA, DC apparently decides Gorilla Grodd needs a true-crime mockumentary, National Treasure 3 inches closer to becoming a real movie, and Lern takes everyone on an unsolicited but surprisingly enjoyable Whitesnake journey.Then we wrap things up with celebrity birthdays—including Dave Chappelle, Cal Ripken Jr., Steve Guttenberg and Vince McMahon—before heading toward relationship fun facts and the mysterious 7-7-7 rule.It's GTA rumors, '80s movie nostalgia, celebrity news, music industry arguments, St. Louis chaos and several conversations that should've ended three sentences earlier.In other words: a comedy podcast.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The crew kicks things off with the 100-inning softball game supporting the Burton family, where Rafe and Scott discover that 12 straight hours of softball is apparently something human beings willingly participate in. There were legitimate athletes, Chris Kerber brought the stories and good Blues energy, and Team Rizz did what Team Rizz does best: proudly represent athletic mediocrity while somebody else actually knows how to play the sport.Moon, meanwhile, spent his weekend in Los Angeles with Goldfinger for their biggest headlining show ever at the Hollywood Palladium. Between the packed hometown show, backstage chaos and trying to juggle approximately every person he has ever met in Southern California, Moon also wanders into Amoeba Music and suddenly finds himself standing next to Matt Berry. His carefully prepared celebrity interaction consists basically of realizing, “Holy crap, that's Matt Berry,” which honestly is probably better than anything the rest of us would've managed.Delays pile up, passengers get increasingly irritated, everyone lines up to board…and the entire plane waits for one missing flight attendant. When she finally arrives, Moon witnesses a level of leisurely strolling that probably should've been studied by scientists. Hundreds of angry passengers? Connecting flights on the line? Whatever. She had a walking speed and she was committed to it.Rizz heads the opposite direction for a father-son road trip to the University of Arkansas and finally experiences the roadside cathedral known as Buc-ee's. Unfortunately, he discovers that Buc-ee's contains one fatal flaw: other people. Lots and lots of other people. He battles the crowd, buys a Cuban sandwich that immediately disintegrates inside the car and ultimately reaches the devastating conclusion that Buc-ee's is basically a bigger Wally's. Somewhere, a beaver just felt a disturbance in the Force.So yes, this episode has softball, Chesterfield sociology, Goldfinger, Matt Berry, airport rage, Buc-ee's, college nostalgia and weather-induced emotional manipulation.The Grand Theft Auto 6 rumor mill is firing on all cylinders. Alleged leaks suggest GTA 6 could make players actually refuel their cars, because apparently escaping the cops and committing fictional felonies wasn't immersive enough. Now we may get the authentic experience of realizing the tank is on E at the absolute worst possible moment.Naturally, Jean-Claude Van Damme doing the splits leads Lern to ask questions about male anatomy that nobody was emotionally prepared to answer.

Welcome to another comedy podcast where apparently the only thing separating civilization from complete chaos is a zoo fence and a shared Google Calendar. We get into a Florissant case where suspects allegedly rear-ended a Volvo to force the driver to stop, only for the situation to turn into an armed robbery, a fight, a stolen vehicle and multiple police pursuits. Somewhere along the way, the unnamed Volvo driver becomes “Johnny Volvo,” the suspects become the “Jeep Boys,” and this comedy podcast briefly transforms into the least legally sound self-defense seminar ever broadcast.That kicks off a surprisingly thoughtful debate about whether the 777 Rule is realistic, especially when listeners point out that dates, overnight stays and vacations cost money. The crew argues that the exact numbers and activities aren't really the point. Take a walk. Go for a drive. Pack a picnic. Hit a park. Complain together.

You're in for a treat this week! Queue up Watch With Jen's long-overdue reunion of covering iconic action superstars with my dear friends (& frequent guests) Jed Ayres, Jordan Harper, & Priscilla Page. In '24, we gathered to dig deep into Jean-Claude Van Damme's life & career. And in '25, Jordan & Priscilla logged in for a celebration of all things Jackie Chan. This time, we're going back to our Gen X & Millennial childhoods watching Arnold Schwarzenegger save the day. From PUMPING IRON to T2 & beyond, we compare/contrast Arnold with his fellow Planet Hollywood investors & action megastars Bruce Willis & Sylvester Stallone, discuss what it is that sets him apart as a mischievous, charismatic presence with a surprisingly light touch, and walk you through some of his biggest films. Although we reference many other performances & pictures along the way, in this feature-length conversation, we set our sights on PUMPING IRON, CONAN THE BARBARIAN, COMMANDO, PREDATOR, TOTAL RECALL, & T2: JUDGEMENT DAY. Full of nostalgia, laughs, stories, and clever insights, we hope you'll enjoy this conversation as much as we did. And make sure you're subscribed to Watch With Jen; we can't wait to get the band back together again to cover another action legend for you soon!Originally Posted on Patreon (7/28/26) here: https://www.patreon.com/FilmIntuition/posts/watch-with-jen-165083130Donate to the Pod via Ko-fi & PayPal Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

Non-Horror July rolls on and we are headed to the ice rink for the ultimate '90s "Die Hard in a..." action spectacular: the 1995 Peter Hyams classic, Sudden Death.Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as Darren McCord, a former French-Canadian firefighter turned arena fire inspector who just wanted to take his kids to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Instead, he finds himself as the only line of defense when a brilliant, ruthless ex-CIA operative takes the Vice President and the entire arena hostage. With the building rigged to blow when the final buzzer sounds, Van Damme has to skate, fight, and save his way through the arena to save the day.Follow us @Reviewedtodeath Music:“Alone Together” and “Chasing Neon” by creatormix.comAll additional music provided by Groove Witness -⁠ ⁠⁠⁠www.groovewitness.us⁠Create your ⁠podcast⁠ today! #madeonzencasterRead our companion written reviews - imgur.com/user/trojaSpaceBandit

Appledore 2 (Van Damme queued)! This week we have ten hours of uninterrupted small-island ocean vibes from off the coast of northern New England. Distant calm waves, birds, and buoys. Whether you're studying, working, reading, sleeping, or unwinding after a long day, this immersive ambient soundscape provides the perfect background soundtrack. No talking, no interruptions—just pure island isolation. Ignore the World._____Special thanks to my twin for capturing this audio. The recording took place on a June afternoon earlier this year. And a note to the kids out there: if you do science stuff, you get to go to cool places. My sister has parlayed her marine ecology career into research trips overseas—to a ton of Europe, Central and South America, and Appledore.Appledore is a tiny Maine island off the coast of New Hampshire. It's Maine because the state line follows the Piscataqua River into the ocean and splits the island group between the two states. So New Hampshire has Star Island and White Island. And Maine has Cedar, Appledore, and (grizzly axe murders) Smuttynose.It's difficult to separate Smuttynose from its history. So I would suggest getting the history from J. Dennis Robinson's book Mystery on the Isle of Shoals. It's a Smuttynose historian's view of the island. (The book begins hundreds of millions of years ago and quickly leads to the events of March 5, 1873.)The motivation of Robinson's book feels less like, "Here is some history of an island and its terrible events," and more like someone needs to correct the record after a novelist flipped the history to exonerate the axe murderer and blame the woman who survived the attack (in the fictional book—and later film—The Weight of Water). Interestingly, John Wilkes Booth's brother, Edwin Booth, has a cameo in Isle of Shoals history. He showed up on Star Island a few years after the Smuttynose murders (and after his brother murdered Lincoln) to stay at the (then) new Oceanic Hotel. Edwin had nothing to do with the Smuttynose murders—but if I wrote The Weight of Water 2, I'd pin the **** on that dude.

Our New episode live!This week we're reviewing Kickboxer! From the training montage , to revenge, and unforgettable fights, Is this one of Jean-Claude Van Damme's most iconic films!? Does it still deliver the knockout?Check it out now!

Gene and Dick hit a milestone — episode 501 — and they're celebrating by going back to the '90s with Jean-Claude Van Damme's passion project, The Quest. Commissioned by Steven M. as part of the Month of Steven, this 1996 martial arts adventure finds Van Damme not just starring but directing — and the results are... surprisingly ambitious. In this episode: Is The Quest Bloodsport in 1925, or Van Damme's Indiana Jones? Gene and Dick can't agree. Roger Moore shows up and completely steals the movie. Dick makes a controversial case that he may have been a better Bond than Connery. The tournament fighters are real martial artists — and it makes all the difference. Van Damme is obsessed with his legs. His eyes. And apparently, silk underwear. The orphans were definitely dead by the third act. We ran the timeline. What did the note say? This is the question that may never be answered. Also in this episode: a listener reports that someone trained AI on Big D's voice to sell knives on TikTok, the guys lock in two months of Spooktacular horror films, Beastmaster gets commissioned, and next week brings a summer camp classic from 1979.

Dodgy maths, Belgian based waffle, new Frogries, Bushy's Octogenarian Celebration, an Irish community stands tall, Bev and Nigel enjoy the delights of Black Park parkrun in Bucks, and Danny flies solo to Victoria Embankment parkrun in Nottingham.

1992's Universal Soldier marked the first collaboration between stars Jean Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren.  The action titans play Vietnam soldiers resurrected 20 years after the war as bio-engineered killing machines with very different agendas.  It was also the first big Hollywood movie helmed but Roland Emmerich, who, based on the commercial success of this film would go on to make some the most successful movies (Independence Day, Stargate, The Patriot) in history. Dan and Vicky discuss the sc-fi action hybrid along with lots of recently seen items like Scary Movie 2026, Toy Story 5, The Furious, and the Death of Robin Hood.

Advertising doesn't work by persuading people to buy. It works by creating future demand. James Hurman returns to unpack his new book: why the funnel is the wrong model, how the biggest group of buyers isn't in the market yet, why green dashboards can hide a dying brand, and how to make the case for brand spend to a CFO who only sees this year.There are two types of demand in any market: the small group ready to buy now, and the much larger group who will come in later. Most advertising pours everything into the first group, watches the dashboards turn green, and wonders why the business numbers stay red. James Hurman returns to The Sleeping Barber to explain the fix at the heart of his new book, Future Demand.Marc, V, and James work through the two-part funnel that replaces the old model, the myth that great companies don't advertise, why Volvo's Epic Split kept paying off for a decade, and why ads wear in rather than wear out. They get practical on the boardroom case: share of voice, the five to ten percent rule, and how to reframe brand as future cash flow for a finance team. They close on AI: the book's Pocket Advisor app, and how language models lean on brand signals when they choose what to recommend.Enjoy the show.Show note links:Future Demand (book, ebook, audiobook, Pocket Advisor app, community): https://futuredemand.comFuture Demand community: https://community.futuredemand.comJames Hurman (website): https://www.jameshurman.comTracksuit (brand tracking): https://www.gotracksuit.comThe Creative Effectiveness Ladder (Hurman & Peter Field, WARC / Cannes Lions): https://www.warc.comVolvo Trucks: Epic Split feat.

Una noche. Un escenario. Cuatro personas que no deberían haber tenido acceso a un micrófono delante de tanta gente. Frikimalismo FM celebró otro LIVE en el Palacio de la Prensa de Madrid junto a Alfredo y Víctor de Nakatomi Radio. Y como no podía ser de otra manera, lo pusimos todo bajo el signo de Dirty Dancing: esa película que lleva casi cuarenta años haciendo creer a la humanidad entera que sabe bailar. Spoiler: no es verdad. En esta noche hablamos de por qué Dirty Dancing sigue llenando cines décadas después, de los bailes más ridículos de la historia del cine —con un especial dedicado a Jean Claude Van Damme que nadie nos había pedido pero que todo el mundo necesitaba—, y de esos veranos que te cambian la vida aunque solo duren tres semanas. El público contó los suyos. Nosotros también. Y hubo una conga final que nadie intentó parar. Nadie nos puso en una esquina. Aunque quizá deberían haberlo intentado.

Ready for the Kumite? In the ‘80s, Cannon Films pumped out cheap, glorious B-movies fueled by the home video boom. 1988's “Bloodsport” was the crown jewel of this era. While it stumbled in theaters it exploded on VHS to become an immortal cult classic. John Carpenter (no, not THAT John Carpenter) joins the show to celebrate the film that launched Jean-Claude Van Damme into superstardom...and to maybe force Dennis to say, "Matte!” Dedicated to Donald Gibb. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We had back to New Orleans to hunt some man for our coverage of Hard Target, an action thriller set deep in the heart of the deep south as part of our lezze le bon summer series. Jean-Claude Van Damme, Lance Henriksen, and the guy from the mummy who plays the mummy all combine with legendary director John Woo to create some good ole fashioned violence. How does this movie serve the city of New Orleans? Find out right here on Zero Credit(s).

Jean Claude Van Damme's directorial debut was 1996's The Quest, a.k.a. a more watered-down version of Bloodsport that takes place in the past and is not nearly as good. JCVD aficionado Jon Gabrus (Staying Alive, Action Boyz) helps Paul, June, and Jason discuss Old Man Van Damme, French clown Van Damme, if men should be flexible, the blimp, the child street gang, and so much more.

By the power of Grayskull, we made a huge mistake. This week on Be Kind Rewind, Dave, Cody, & Paul Walcher revisit 1987's Masters of the Universe — the flop that took down an entire movie studio. We dig into what holds up (Frank Langella performing Shakespeare under a skull mask, Dolph Lundgren as a walking action figure, James Tolkan from Back to the Future as a hardboiled detective who somehow ends up an honorary Master of the Universe), what doesn't (no Battle Cat, no Orko, no Prince Adam, no real Eternia), and the bonkers behind-the-scenes story including the studio running out of money three days before filming wrapped, a planned sequel that became Cyborg with Jean-Claude Van Damme, and a marketing pitch that simply said "make it Star Wars but He-Man." We also Muppetize the movie, find one of the most surprising Pastor's Corner moments hiding in a bad movie ever, and pick our winners and losers. Plus: the debut of Hot Take Cody as our new opener, a brand new Movie Game, and a bonus round on the top five highest-grossing toy movies of all time.

Jason opens the box once again. Steven does his best Van Damme. All that and more in this session of Play It Again Man. Episode 104: Hard Target

Dust off your leather jackets, practice your best slow-motion walk, and get ready for an absolutely stacked episode! This week on The DizRadio Show we are diving deep into the world of Hollywood grit, legendary action, and the art of playing the characters you love to hate. We are thrilled to welcome the ultimate cinematic powerhouse, PATRICK KILPATRICK. If you've watched an action movie in the last few decades, you know his face, you know his presence, and you've definitely cheered (or cringed) at his iconic villainy! Patrick Kilpatrick has gone toe-to-toe with the absolute Mount Rushmore of action cinema. We're talking about trading blows and sharing scenes with Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and James Caan, just to name a few! He takes us behind the scenes of some of his most memorable projects, including Death Warrant, Showdown, Minority Report, Eraser, Best of the Best, The Toxic Avenger and Dying for Living as well as going family friendly in the Free Willy series. He also talks writing and producing. Later in the show, Jonathan from the D-Team drops behind the mic for a fascinating deep dive into the psychology of cinema. Jonathan breaks down exactly why cinematic villains impact us so deeply and stay with us long after the credits roll. Why do we remember the bad guys? How does a truly talented actor balance the scales to play both the ultimate monster and the ultimate hero? We're dissecting the thin line between good and evil on the silver screen! So enjoy the Nostalgia, the Magic, the Wonder, and the Memories with The DizRadio Show "A Pop Culture Celebrity Guest Show"!

Roden and Thunder finally make it to one of the only Van Damme movies that Thunder loathes.

Sabe aquele protagonista original que ninguém pediu no primeiro Mortal Kombat? Cole Young tem a cabeça explodida logo no início do segundo filme. E isso não é spoiler. É pedido de desculpas oficial do diretor aos fãs.Mortal Kombat 2 abandonou o realismo chato, as justificativas complexas para poderes e abraçou a galhofa total dos games. Karl Urban interpreta um Johnny Cage mais velho e decadente, passou por treinos intensos para replicar os chutes do personagem, e o início do filme homenageia Van Damme com diálogos cafonas de propósito. Martyn Ford (mais de 2 metros de altura) passa 4 horas por dia na maquiagem para virar Shao Kahn. Ed Boon, criador da franquia, aparece como barman e dubla o "Get Over Here!" do Scorpion.Rafael Arinelli, Henrique Rizatto, Duda Smilari e Natália Malini debatem por que a crítica deu nota 47 no Metacritic enquanto o público aprovou com 89% no Rotten Tomatoes. Vale a pena medir Mortal Kombat com a mesma régua de Oppenheimer? Ou isso é só porradaria, sangue e nostalgia funcionando?• 05m37: Pauta Principal• 1h20m24: Plano Detalhe• 1h36m16: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Spotify: https://cinemacao.short.gy/spotify• Apple Podcast: https://cinemacao.short.gy/apple• Android: https://cinemacao.short.gy/android• Deezer: https://cinemacao.short.gy/deezer• Amazon Music: https://cinemacao.short.gy/amazonAgradecimentos aos padrinhos: • André Marinho Moreira• Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Alves Lima• Eloi Xavier• Guilherme S.

Timecop (1994) Director: Peter HyamsCast: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Mia Sara, Ron Silver, Bruce McGillTime travel has been invented — and naturally, someone's already trying to weaponize it to steal an election. Welcome to Timecop, the 1994 JCVD action sci-fi spectacle where the mullets are questionable, the CGI is deeply committed to being bad, and the concept is actually way more interesting than it has any right to be.In this week's episode of Dewey Pod Monster, Sean and John strap in, hit 88 mph (or whatever the hell they use in this movie), and dive into one of Jean-Claude Van Damme's most enduring and most gloriously flawed films.In this episode, we discuss:Same Matter, Different Problems — The movie beats you over the head with its one rule of time travel — "the same matter can't occupy the same space at the same time" — exactly five zillion times, and somehow still makes a mess of it. We break down every paradox, plot hole, and moment where the logic completely waved goodbye and walked off a cliff.1994 Predicted Everything (Badly) — Ron Silver's corrupt senator wants to buy the presidency using time-stolen money and the power of television. In 2004. It's played as a sinister, far-fetched scheme. We... had some feelings about how eerily close to home that lands in 2025.The CGI Crimes of Our Time — From the rubber-faced time-warp tunnel sequences to the absolute train wreck of Ron Silver touching Ron Silver, this movie's visual effects are a special kind of ambitious failure. We discuss what a modern reboot could do with 30 extra years of technology — and why we'd actually show up for that.We Also Talked About:Body Count (1986) (Tubi)— Sean caught this Ruggero Deodato (of Cannibal Holocaust fame) Italian slasher set in an autumnal forest. Incoherent plot, Friday the 13th vibes that go completely off the rails, and a banger theme song by Claudio Simonetti that rivals Friday the 13th Part III. Charles Napier and David Hess show up. Available on Tubi if you're feeling adventurous.I'm Going to Be Famous (1983) (Ok.Ru) — A direct-to-video melodrama about aspiring actors gunning for their big break, featuring Dick Sargent (I Dream of Jeannie) as a theatrical director. It goes places. Specifically, it ends with a live on-air shooting and a farmer dad beaming with pride that his son is finally on TV. Sean does not heartily recommend it but cannot stop talking about it.Widow's Bay (Apple Tv)— A new Apple TV+ horror-comedy series starring Matthew Rhys (Perry Mason, The Americans) as the skeptical mayor of a cursed New England island. Sean is fully sold — it leans hard into the comedy and actually sticks the landing, which John argues is the only way a horror-comedy works. Eight episodes, dropping weekly.Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films (2014) (Youtube) — John calls this a high recommend for anyone who grew up watching late '70s and '80s action trash. A relentlessly entertaining documentary full of insane production stories, Golan and Globus being magnificently delusional, Tobe Hooper being surprisingly articulate, and more T&A than any non-pornographic documentary has any business containing. Pair with The Go-Go Boys but watch that one first.The Bride (2025) (Amazon) — Maggie Gyllenhaal directs this very loose Bride of Frankenstein retelling with Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley. Looks gorgeous. Both leads are great. Opens five storylines and closes exactly zero of them satisfyingly. Goth Moulin Rouge meets Bonnie and Clyde vibes. John is somewhere in the middle, but would absolutely watch a sequel.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week. We're proud members of the YouRun Podcast Network.

Dustin is back to talk about the JCVD's Kickboxer, Stan Bush vs Kenny Loggins, Andy Sidaris movies, & more! In this pre-episode to Zak's interview with Haskell Anderson (Brotherhood of Death, The Master, Kickboxer), D & Z celebrate 1989's Kickboxer by discussing some of their favorite moments from the Jean-Claude Van Damme classic! The dudes also dig deep into the soundtrack which features one banger after another by Stan Bush. Everything you love to see and hear from Dustin and Zak is here! Enjoy!

This episode Brian and Nez bring you the 1991 Jean-Claude Van Damme Martial Arts Action film DOUBLE IMPACT. Nearly 25 years after seeing his father killed by Hong Kong crime boss Raymond Zhang (Philip Chan Yan Kin), Chad Wagner (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is living in Los Angeles as a flourishing yet peaceful martial arts trainer. But Chad has a twin brother, Alex (also Van Damme), who suddenly reunites with his less-aggressive sibling and wants to avenge their father's death. As the pair plan their payback against Zhang, they also struggle to overcome their personal differences.

Masters of the Universe (1987) Director: Gary Goddard Cast: Dolph Lundgren, Frank Langella, Meg Foster, Billy BartyBy the power of Grayskull — and a budget that clearly ran out before they could build a decent set — we're diving headfirst into the gloriously broken 1987 Cannon Films fever dream that is Masters of the Universe. This week, John and Sean strap on their cosmic keys, dust off their He-Man nostalgia (well, Sean's nostalgia — John was busy being a Ghostbusters kid), and try to figure out what the hell they just watched. Oh, and we also talk about Hulk Hogan's new Netflix documentary, Real American, because apparently two massively jacked, possibly fictional characters for one episode wasn't enough.In this episode, we discuss:He-Mansplaining: A Franchise Left Stranded on Earth — Sean breaks down why this movie is basically unwatchable if you didn't grow up playing with Snake Mountain, and actively insulting if you did. No Prince Adam, no Battle Cat, no context — just Dolph Lundgren looking absolutely shredded and wandering around a deserted California town.Canon Fodder: How Golan-Globus Torched Their Own Studio — The behind-the-scenes disaster is almost more entertaining than the film itself. Budget cuts, three days of filming halted because they literally ran out of money, sets being torn down mid-shoot, and props that got recycled into Jean-Claude Van Damme's Cyborg. This is the beautiful chaos of late-80s Cannon Films in full self-destruction mode.The Puff Piece Problem: Hulk Hogan's WWE-Laundered Legacy — The guys dig into Netflix's Hulk Hogan: Real American and call out exactly what it is — a carefully sanitized, WWE-produced hagiography that glosses over the steroids, the racial slurs, the sex tape, and basically anything that would make Terry Bollea look like a human being with flaws. The first three episodes slap. The fourth one chickens out.Skeletor Deserved Better (And So Did We) — Frank Langella shows up, chews every piece of scenery in sight, and delivers the only performance worth watching in this entire movie. James Tolkan's accented cop is deeply out of place and completely hilarious. And poor Billy Barty is buried under pounds of prosthetics as Gwildor, a character so annoying he makes Jar Jar Binks look understated.We Also Talked About:Hulk Hogan: Real American (Netflix, 2026) — A four-episode WWE-produced docuseries covering Hogan's rise from fat kid playing bass in a band to the most recognizable figure in wrestling history. Great archival footage, Linda Hogan telling it surprisingly straight, Jesse Ventura being selectively complimentary, and Donald Trump somehow finding time in his schedule to appear on camera. The Bubba the Love Sponge/racial slur situation? Barely mentioned.The Many Lies of Hulk Hogan (Part 1) (Youtube)The Many Lies of Hulk Hogan (Part 2) (Youtube)I Come in Peace (1990, Dolph Lundgren) — Referenced as a recent pod pick, because apparently the guys can't get enough of Dolph.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week.
