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.

This show is a review of Halloween Ends starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Andi Matichak, Rohan Campbell, and James Jude Courtney. Directed by David Gordon Green, this "final" chapter to the most recent trilogy in the Halloween franchise is proving to be divisive as hell.

A review of 1982's Halloween 3: Season of the Witch starring Tom Atkins, Stacey Nelkin, and Dan O'Herlihy. Produced by John Carpenter, this chapter in the Halloween franchise is a wildly confusing mix of bad writing, shoddy FX, a low-budget, and an unlikable lead. Also, this movie doesn't feature the face of the franchise, Michael Meyers. Naturally.
Plus, thoughts on the MCU's first (and long overdue) foray into the horror genre with Werewolf By Night and where it could lead, and more.

Continuing our journey through the Canon Group's movies, we take a look at 1987's Masters of the Universe starring Dolph Lundgren, Frank Langella, Courteney Cox, James Tolkan, and Meg Foster. This film was Dolph's first time as leading (He-)Man, and despite his best efforts, it's a wild failure on nearly all levels. Plus, we determine which movies we watch next and it looks like we're staying in the 80s.
