Get your shine box!

This is dedicated to our good friend Chris VanHyfte! Die hard Van Damme Fan and we hope to have him on to talk more JCVD in the future!  Bloodsport is one of those formative movies for us kids that grew up in the 70's and 80's! We all pine for the predator movie that would have had JCVD running around like an orange lobster! Look it up! Yo Frankie!!

This is the greatest Star Wars/Star Trek/Battlestar/(insert Sci-Fi) mash up ever!! Is there a movie out there where Ernest Borgnine doesn't play a dirtbag? If so, I have no interest in watching it!

A sweaty Jonathan Price? Check! Dialogue no human would say? Check! Creepy as hell Pam Grier? Check! This classic was wild!!

Hot Damn!! We got to go to Toronto to watch a Blue jays game and hang with our favorite dads from south of our boarder!! We tackle two apocalypse movies and basically solve the worlds problems!! Thank you Brien for the amazing edit!

Took a bit of time away for the summer but we're back to finish off the A-Busey-verse! Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a Blue Flame special (What?) you have to appreciate how this film influenced so many films in the years after it premiered! Busey did this film with brain damage, what's your excuse!

This is part of our A-Busey verse! There are buddy cop movies and there is Lethal Weapon! Amazing action and the best henchmen money can buy!!

So how did this pinched faced, lazy, unlikeable guy have such a run of successful films? Good supporting cast! Tommy Lee is frickin awesome and Gary Busey is a treasure! This film is truly something unique!

Hot Damn! This paved the way! So much has been said about this film that to even try is a waste of time, but that's what we do best! 

Oof! At what point in your film do you concede and say "Gonna let this fish die!"? Who knows. There's a saying in my industry "No body thinks their baby is ugly" but c'mon..... This one was rough. 

This film has some truly funny moments and...... some problematic moments.  Where were you when you saw this film? Our house probably!

We're back baby! This week we tackle our namesake! We do this with the help of the head of the Ham family: Brian Ham! The three of us discuss this colossus of a film and take some time to break each other's balls!

This is a shared episode with the amazing 3 Geeky Dads (https://www.3gdpodcast.com/episodes/)! What a thrill it was to meet these dudes, experience New York Comicon and to witness this masterpiece!! Extra special thanks the Infamous (more than famous?) Brien Ramsey of 3GDS for cutting this beautifully! 

The only new lore about this film that made us giggle was finding out Dar's real name!! Gold!! This is a wild, mish mash of popular films that bloody well should have been a Canon production! Missed opportunity boys!! 

The OG!! Our sweet top loading VHS machine got a workout as we played the hell out of this one! A pure classic with questionable Greek content!! Jump onto your stop motion Pegasus and ride em bareback as we talk about light Star Wars copywrite infringement!!  

I definitely thought this was a good movie even if some of our friends definitely didn't. I definitely thought it influenced my life at that point and I definitely knew it influenced my brother. If you definitely haven't seen this film I definitely suggest you do!! 

At this point, Antonio could do no wrong! This is the height of his coolness and the perfect movie for Rodriguez! There's a crap ton of first time collaborations and one of my favorite Danny Trejo characters! So jump in the ring and prove yourself to Christos! 

"You're still not having any fun Sean!" This whole film is batshit crazy! This isn't John Woo's first film done in America, but it kinda feels like it. It's lots of fun but there were some very strange choices. Like Travolta wiping his hands on everyone's faces!! 

I think Shakespeare was quoted saying "Losers whine about doing their best, winners go home and f*ck the prom queen". Say what you will about Michael Bay, this is one hell of a film. 

This is a favorite of ours! Chris was able to find some really interesting nuance of Hi's relationship to Smalls and I enjoyed Nic Cage making funny faces!! For real, this movie is fast paced, hilarious and stands the test of time! 

Oh man! We're big fans of soundtracks and this one is the tops!! Is there anything funnier than Tim Robbins spitting out a mouth full of teeth after getting cold cocked with a phone? No sir, there is not!! This ends our month (3 months?) of Cusack! 

He's slick, he's cool, and he's not about to unionize! John Cusack kicks ass in this wild film from a director with a shady past! We continue on the Cusack train with this hidden Gem! Popcorn!! 

Ah the 80's! Where dark topics were hilarious! We have a lot of love for this film, one of the first introductions to one of the coolest actors we know: Mr. Demian Slade or Johnny "Two Dollars" as we've known to call him! Remember when movies had inexplicable music numbers in them? Miss that? Well this film delivers! This film holds up in ways that truly surprised us! 

Once in a lifetime, a movie comes along that perfectly parodies a genre! Then this was made. This was a classic for us growing up and it's got some truly great moments in it. And some not so great. 

Awe yeah!! Get your shine box machine! Zero defects!! We've always loved this one and it was a joy to see it again! Sexy Meg Ryan, Ripped Dennis Quaid and a brilliant Marty Short! For reals!! 

Kay, watch Ian Holm in this movie. I sure he's sparked a whole sub genre kink about getting choked out with a sticky porno mag. Anyone? Just me......? What a kick ass film this is! The only thing that takes away from it is knowing that the jerk director of Blade Runner stole every aspect of world building from this director! If I was Ridley Scott, I'd think about suing!!
