On this week's show, we take a look at 2022's Top Gun: Maverick. Starring Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, and Val Kilmer, this movie is overstuffed with wildly cool high-flying action, heartfelt moments, excruciatingly slow and unnecessary plot points, a few things you've seen elsewhere, and the biggest staple of his films; Tom Cruise running at a moderately swift pace. Plus, news out of this year's Star Wars Celebration and more.

On this week's show, we’re trying something new. This will be a live review. “A live review? What is that?”, you ask? Well, for the first time ever, we watch a movie together, while recording the ridiculous thoughts that meander into our minds.
So, this will not be a traditional review, and it will only make sense if you watch the movie right alongside us. And what movie could possibly warrant such a momentous occasion? For that, we turn to one of the Cannon Group’s biggest cult classics, and one which launched the career of one of the biggest action stars alive today, 1988’s Bloodsport starring Jean-Claude Van Damme.
If you don't already own this classic, it’s currently available to stream on HBO Max. Apologies to those whom are unable to join us, we’ll be back very soon with a regular show.

On this week's show, we take a look at 1988's Action Jackson. Starring Carl Weathers, Craig T. Nelson, Vanity, and Sharon Stone, this movie is a non-stop thrill ride that features plenty of over the top action sequences, classic one-liners, and a very middle-aged guy doing karate. Plus, you're likely to recognize a lot of faces from other 80s movies; including one that looks exactly like Huey Lewis (minus The News). However, it was in fact, not Huey Lewis.

On this week's show, we take a look at 1986's first entry in the fighter pilot genre, Iron Eagle (Sorry Top Gun). Starring Louis Gossett Jr., Jason Gedrick, and David Suchet, this movie's unintentionally hilarious plot is only overshadowed by its over the top performances, but at least it moves at a swift pace.

On this week's show, we’ve got a double shot of America’s mythical, bearded karate man from the 80s, Chuck Norris, with reviews of Code of Silence, and one of his many movies produced by the Canon Group, Missing in Action 2: The Beginning. This is technically a first-time Chuck Norris-ing for one of our hosts, and it was quite a noteworthy experience.

A review of 1987's The Barbarians starring Peter and David Paul, colloquially known as The Barbarian Brothers. Unsurprisingly, this movie is a jumbled mess of oiled muscles, an incoherent plot, bad dialogue, and worse FX. Which makes it a near perfect addition to the films of The Canon Group.
Plus, thoughts on the first season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch, HBO's The Last of Us, and more.

A review of two buddy movies from the 80s. First, 1987's heartfelt, buddy road trip comedy, Planes, Trains and Automobiles starring Steve Martin and John Candy. Then a look at the charming, yet low-octane, buddy cop comedy from 1986, Running Scared starring Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal.

A review of Bram Stoker's Dracula starring Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins, and Keanu Reeves (just to name a few).
This movie boasts a spectacular cast and crew, solid FX, and beautiful set designs and costumes. And thanks in part to a couple of miscastings, a few absolutely bonkers performances, and other unusual filmmaking choices, this movie manages to be as wildly bad, as it is good.
Plus, answering the age old question, "Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?" and more.

A review of 1986's The Hitcher starring Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. This movie is a fast-paced psychological/action/horror romp that pits an assuming young guy against an unrelenting, deranged killing machine whom might actually be indestructible.
Plus, the trailers for Wakanda Forever and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and more.
