128 - Judge Dredd with Jonathan Howell   What could be better than a Stallone action movie set in a post-apocalyptic future. No, not that one. We're talking about 1995s Judge Dredd.

Joining us to practice law is a podcaster who knows a thing or two about action heroes with convoluted backstories and family;...

126 - Batman Forever with Jason Croxon We've reached another milestone on our list and finally reached the Batman movie you either love or hate depending on when you grew up, usually. Batman Forever is such a departure from the direction of the previous two movies that it can be distracting. Jason Croxon from Plate Stack Chat is here to help keep us on track. Where do you land with Batman Forever...

122 - Ghost in the Shell with Johnie Powers We knew going into this movie the conversation would be a fun one. We were not wrong. On the surface, Ghost in the Shell is an action-packed movie about an elite squad taking down a terrorist. But below the surface (or inside the shell) it is a story about identity, and what it means to be alive. Joining us to discuss this anime masterpiece is Johnie Pow...

121 - Richie Rich with Dave Pallas & Niall McGowan This episode was supposed to be Ghost in the Shell until frequent interrupter, Dave Pallas hacked into the feed, and took over the show.

Part Johnie. Part Jonathan. Part Travis. Part Patrick. Together, It's Clobberin' Time! This is one of those movies where the story behind the movie is more interesting than the movie itself. Before you listen to the episode, we absolutely recommend that you not only watch Roger Corman's unreleased The Fantastic Four , but you also watch the documentary: Doomed! The Untold Story of Roger Corman's T...

114 - Timecop Finally, we get to talk about Jean Claude Van Damme! The man is up there with action movie names like Schwarzenegger, Stallone and Lundgren. The rules of time travel are as complex and unique as snowflakes. Every movie does time travel a bit different. Timecop , has its own set of time travel rules. Do they make sense? Who can say? All we know is, Van Damme's Max Walker sports a mull...

The Mask You know that kids movie with the condom joke, tailpipes shoved into… tailpipes and a very sexually aggressive hero. You know the one. 1994's The Mask is a real weird kids movie based on a comic book about a homicidal maniac. Jim Carrey was just hitting his hot streak in the 90s and everyone was annoying people or being annoyed by the quotable catchphrases in this movie. Adam Sheehan from...

The Shadow This movie is not Hudson Hawk despite what some people may think. That said, The Shadow is an odd film in many ways, but has a lot of charm. The character of Lamont Cranston (aka The Shadow ) precedes every character we've talked about so far in our list and possibly every character we will talk about in future movies on this podcast. So many comic book heroes owe in some small part to...

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm Is it possible that one of the best Batman films is animated and failed at the box office. Yes. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is a weird little gem that upon inspection does raise some questions such as; Where the hell does Commissioner Gordon go? or; Does the Joker die at the end? Here to raise questions with us and provide excellent insight is Scott Carelli of Dueling...
