The Redeemables

So we didn't love the movie 65, but it did have some of our favourite things in it - dinosaurs, Adam Driver, being stranded in a hostile environment you have to fight your way out of... So to celebrate this we decided to do our Top Five Stranded Somewhere Movies. But as always first we have a game to play - this time another of Duff's quizzes with a dubious theme.

For those confused, shit movie titles also make for shit podcast titles - This week we did 65, Adam Driver's dinosaur action movie. We talk dinosaurs types with local dinosaur expert Duff, suggested re-writes, Louisiana swamplands, Adam Driver's crazy life before acting and heaps more. As always, thanks for listening!

Who doesn't love watching a protagonist follow a series of clues in search of a missing person? The Redeemables sure do and they gave us their Top Five Missing Person Movies to prove it. Before that Kenny revives the game show classic 'Who Am I?" and quizzes BJ & Duff on dead actors - it's much less grim than it sounds, trust us. Then BJ reads some comments from our Youtube -...

In this episode we follow Chadwick Boseman into the seedy underbelly of LA in 2016's Message From The King. We discuss bike chains as weapons, South African accents, how seedy is too seedy and whether French Opera has a place in gritty revenge thrillers. Watch the film on Netflix and then join us for the discussion. Thanks for listening!

After last week's discussion about 1999's The Mummy it seemed only fitting the guys celebrate their favourite movie curses with this week's top five. But first BJ has come up with a couple of the weirdest games yet - including one that is bizarrely informative about the cast of The Mummy's mummies.

This week we revisit a better time for Summer Blockbusters and we do The Mummy from 1999! We discuss Brendan Fraser's incredible star power, Scorpion King spin-offs, Billy Zane but not Billy Zane and we solve racism, we think. Thanks for listening!

Who doesn't love a film set in majestic Africa? The guys sure! And not just Blood Diamond! The lads give us their Top Five Movies In Africa - but first it is the return of everyone's favourite quiz - Tagline Trivia!!

The Redeemables has come to TSAVO! That's right, we headed to Kenya with Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas to hunt man-eating lions in 1996's The Ghost And The Darkness. The movie is free on YouTube so please join us on this adventure into the heart of Africa. As always, thanks for listening!

Who doesn't love a holiday? We sure do! Somehow after watching the most intense overseas family trip ever for our recent No Escape episode Kenny was inspired to do our Top Five Vacation Movies. How many involve a violent uprising? A giant beast with taste for human blood or an unkillable alien sent to hunt us down? Or how many are about comic capers and dangerous decisions? Listen to find out!...

Ever wondered what it would be like to be trapped in a foreign country with your young family while there is a violent uprising aimed at the company you represent? Kenny, BJ and Duff certainly have so this week we did 2015's No Escape with Owen Wilson. The main takeaway was that we're cowards that would hide in the shadows but we also discuss South East Asian Geography, solve racism, how f...

Smokin' Aces doesn't just have a cast - it has a C-A-S-T!!! Inspired by this murder's row of actors - discussed at length on our most recent full episode - BJ designed a game around other movies with deep ensemble casts. And then after being so impressed with the acting debuts of Alicia Keys & Common in Smokin' Aces the guys give us their own Top Five Musicians In Movies

What movie has a coked out magician, 50 Cal Sniper rifles, neo nazi hitmen with chainsaws, Alicia Keys as a professional killer pretending to be a hooker, Ryan Reynolds, Ben Affleck, Chris Pine, Ray Liotta and they're all in a hotel together trying to kill each other??.. Smokin' Aces from 2007. Join us while we breakdown this cult classic...

Who are the most underrated actors working today? So glad you asked! Because Duff was somehow inspired by DMX's performance in Cradle 2 The Grave to ask the other guys the same question. But before they run through those Duff puts them through their paces by playing hard ass quiz master during a game he invented.

What's. My. Name? It's DMX and he's in Cradle 2 The Grave with a bunch of his friends and a heap of his music. 2003 was a different time for action movies and we discuss whether it was a better or worse time. We cover off auctioneering, cage fighting, ATV stunt driving, black diamonds and casual racism. Please join us...

Who doesn't love a true tale told in movie form? The Redeemables sure do! They break down their personal top fives - and each give a long list of honourable mentions. But first there's the usual quiz type shenanigans as Kenny tests the other boy's knowledge of movies adapted from real life events.

What happens when you get one of the greatest sci-fi directors of our time, give him a bunch of money and tell him to turn a video game into a sports movie based on a true story? Gran Turismo, that's what happens. Join us for the ride as we break down one of the sleeper hits of 2023. Please enjoy...

THE 3RD ANNUAL REDEEMIES ARE HERE !! This is the REAL movies awards - maybe not as prestigious as the Oscars but definitely more prestigious The Golden Globes... First the traditional major categories are announced after being decided by public vote and then the boys get to their favourite part of the year - popping a bottle and announcing their own special awards. You can listen to all the classi...

Taking inspiration from the evil Mischief John in King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword we discuss our Top Five Evil Henchmen. But before that BJ has a quiz for the lads based on Medieval Words and testicles.

We love Guy Ritchie's gangster films like Lock Stock, Snatch, etc but how do we feel about his mainstream blockbusters? We watched 2017s King Arthur to find out... Kenny is pushed to his absolute fantasy limits, Duff loves giant elephants and BJ says "Madonna" 26 times. Please enjoy...

REFLEXES TOO SLOW! Duff tests Kenny & BJ's general movie knowledge with a rapid fire quiz - play along and see if you can beat the boys. Then the fellas close out this classic minisode by taking inspiration from the fabulous feats of friendship performed in A Man Apar and telling us who are their Top Five Ride Or Dies.

Rogue DEA agents on a vengeance mission against the the biggest Cartel boss in Mexico starring Vin Diesel? Enough said. This week we are A Podcast Apart as we explore the full range of Vin Diesel's emotions in this 2003 crime thriller. Kenny demands Vin Diesel gets the respect he deserves (again), BJ has some more drug related questions and Duff brings the heat with the fun facts. Please enjoy...

It is what a captain does! Underwater had no less than 3 characters go out in an heroic sacrifice, so we put ourselves through the emotional ringer to bring you our Top Five Heroic Sacrifices in movies. Get ready to feel things.. But first Kenny challenges Duff & BJ's knowledge of famous film creatures, who will emerge from the depths victorious this week?

"You lose your sense of time in the dark.... So lets light this shit up"... We're doing another creature feature and this one is 7 miles below the ocean and it's starring Kristen Stewart with a bleached blonde shaved head. Sounds good, right? We deep dive on the TJ Miller dramas, we admit to horrific crimes and Duff gets his creature swallowing a human whole moment. Please enjoy....

In this classic minisode BJ teams up with AI to really test the guy's knowledge of action movies. Then the lads give us their hardest top five to settle on yet - their TOP FIVE ACTION MOVIES FROM 1985 -1995. Join us as we celebrate the golden age of action as only The Redeemables can!

Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren, Super Soldiers, listener's choice, LETS GO. You asked for it, you get it. We did 1992's Universal Soldier. We discuss whether Van Damme is the worst actor of all time but in a good way, why Van Damme won't do full frontal nudity and Van Damme's weekly cocaine habit in 1995. Basically it's an episode about Van Damme and it's long overdue. Please en...
