LAST ACTION HERO needs some defending. It was panned upon release, cost too much, made very little back, Arnie thought his career was over. And even now, action movie fans are divided on this film. Phil and Mike are big fans, and so is their guest. Join us as we geek out over this messy action-comedy epic, and also as we pay our (belated) respects to Joel Schumacher.--- Send in a voice message: ht...

1982's CONAN THE BARBARIAN is where it all started. It's the moment weight-lifting juggernaut Arnold Schwarzenegger started on the road to super movie star. Directed by John Millius - a genuinely insane person - CONAN THE BARBARIAN is a big, violent, nasty love-letter to the sword-and-sandal genre. And Michael and Phillip are all too eager to dig in. Enjoy!--- Send in a voice message: ht...

On today's episode, we go back to the vault and review SIDEKICKS, a horrendous but sweet-natured kids action movie from the 90s. Starring Chuck Norris and Jonathan Brandis, this odd little movie tells the story of a young, bullied kid who fantasizes about killing people with the help of action movie "star" Chuck Norris. It also stars the always-unfunny Joe Piscopo as a series of rac...

This week, we're doing RED DAWN (1984) starring Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, Lea Thompson, Powers Booth (brother of Powers Bottom) and many more actors, comrade!

Also, we start the show with a major announcement, discuss Patrick Swayze's life and career, the crazy director John Milius, the MTV dating show NEXT!, and of...

This special episode is a bit of a bummer. Ian Holm, the great British actor who played Bilbo Baggins among other iconic roles, has passed. Phillip and Michael decided to try and pay their respects, and they do, but the jokes came along too. They aren't the best at processing grief correctly.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/slasher-movie-podcast-now/messageSupport this podcast:...

This week, we're going to the future! A very French, very 1990s future. The Fifth Element is one of those weird, wild classics that embraces its strangeness in fun and unexpected ways. Released in 1997, starring Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, and a star-making turn by Milla Jovovich, the Fifth Element brings director Luc Besson's strange mind to the big screen. Buckle up, this week we'r...

Saddle up, cow-people! Today, Phillip and Michael finally head west for their first western film - and boy howdy it's a doozy. TOMBSTONE, released in 1993, is one of the toughest, rootin' tootin' manly-man films of all time.

He's back! That's right, John Wick thought he was out for good. And then an old acquaintance drops by to remind him the past isn't dead. JOHN WICK CHAPTER 2 (2017) is nuttier, crazier, more violent, even more beautifully shot than the first one. And the plot is one of the wildest in all of action movie history. Plus, Keanu's hair is a lot more tame - it's all about balance...

We've been on a Keanu kick recently, and so we decided to cover the JOHN WICK trilogy. Starting in order - duh - with John Wick (2014). This first chapter kicks off the greatest action trilogy possibly ever. Keanu Reeves plays John Wick, a recently-widowed (widowered?) man with a big secret: he's the gnarliest assassin who has ever lived. Buckle up, PMSers, this film goes to eleven.--- S...

THE SUBSTITUTE (1996) is the ultimate 90s White-Teacher-in-an-Urban-Classroom film. This subgenre had its hits (Dangerous Minds), but The Substitute perfectly captures the attitude. Basically, hit the books or Tom Berenger will shoot you in the face. Co-starring Ernie Hudson, Marc Anthony, Diane Venora, and everybody's favorite bad actor: William Forsythe. Take your seats, kiddos, school&apos...
