Thirsty For More - Movie Review

Grudge Match is a weird drunken idea that got made into a movie. Literally some dudes were sitting around talking about if Raging Bull or Rocky would win in a match as old dudes. Then they put some weird 2013 puppet CGI faces in there..and you've got yourself a movie. Great underutilized cast. A general disappointment. But it was not a uniform experience. Aleks enjoyed this movie much more than Mi...

Escape Plan is the stuff of Thirsty For More legend. Those who have been with us since the first season will know that this is the lost episode of this show. We originally recorded this episode with friend of the show Willow when we were covering the movies of Arnold Schwarzenegger and then we swore that if we ever decided to cover Stallone that we would take a second stab at it. The result is thi...

The third episode of Tulsa King! In this episode Stallone expands his illegal activities into whippets, almost gets shot while getting his driver's license, and develops his relationships with his new crew of misfits! Get into it!

Bullet To The Head is not a movie the brothers liked. It is a weird Walter Hill movie from 2012. The movie kind of plays out like an episode of prime time television. Very bizarre. The brothers use this late season episode to dig into the mythos of Stallone in popular culture pulling heavily from a CBC - Q interview with Stallone by Tom Power. (large swaths of the interview are used without permis...

The brothers breakdown and analyze the second episode of Tulsa King! In this episode Stallone tries to get a credit card so he can get in touch with his daughter, but along the way the story begins to unfold in a series of low stakes character building. With the secondary characters starting to flesh out and Stallone doing some of the most consequential and compelling acting of his career. Join th...

Escape To Victory is a bit of throwback Stallone! Our good friend and patron of the show Jay reached out to talk about this weird historical sports gem. Michael Caine is a POW soccer trainer in this one. He is propositioned by a nazi football aficionado Max Von Sydow to prep the POWs for a game with ze Germans. The allies begin to mount a daring escape ahead of the big game involving Stallone esca...

Tulsa King is the new Stallone TV show from Paramount+. He plays an (NYC) Italian mobster who gets released from prison after a 25 year sentence and gets sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma to begin earning money in a whole new market for the mob: Tulsa. We get introduced a big cast of characters and we set the tone for what's sure to be some exciting small screen Stallone! Join the Patreon www.patreon.com/th...

Rambo is the fourth instalment in the franchise. Stallone tried to "direct this movie from the perspective of Rambo". When you take that into consideration the movie takes on new dimensions and becomes a compelling exploration of the psyche of a deeply traumatized and solitary ex vet. However unfortunately Stallone's deeply rooted racism is also on full display in his direction and characterizatio...

Rocky Balboa. This is the 6th Rocky movie. We find our hero living a humbled, but fulfilled life, Sure he is sad that Adrian has passed away, he has a strained relationship with his son who is living in his shadow and his brother in law is still an emotional parasite. But he has a restaurant, he gets approved to fight again despite vague bureaucracy and he even forms a new but platonic romantic at...

It can sometimes be challenging talking about a sequel especially when that sequel is to a children's movie. Spy Kids is a beloved franchise that the brothers were right on the cusp of being the target group for. Aleks is a fan whereas Milenko was a little too old for it when it came out. The 3rd instalment is not without its fun and charm, but seems to be relying too much on the glory and success...

Blade 2 is a leaner sequel that's amped up in just the right way. The plot is relatively simple, but gives us the same exciting vampire intrigue we got in the first film with much higher stakes (pun intended). Aleks does not join in this episode. We also get a bit of a reset in this movie because we find out that Whistler is actually alive and Blade has to save him from becoming a vampire. Enjoy!

Last of the Mohicans is a classic movie. Daniel Day Lewis, Madeline Stowe, Wes Studi and Russel Means all give iconic performances along with a stellar cast, score and direction. A 1992 epic romantic drama set against the backdrop of colonial America in the 1700's with Britain and France warring in what is now known as upstate NY. As you can probably imagine it has a lot of problematic elements gi...

Just like us to drop a mid season surprise Blade episode! We've been talking about doing it for ages. The Wesley Snipes classic vampire hunter movie. This is an early Marvel movie! Very well done exciting movie with lots of twists and turns! Classic really. The brothers are joined by Climate activist superstar and vampire expert: Catherine Abreu! Enjoy this hilarious episode!

The freshest cut of Stallone: Samaritan. The back story of this comic book style adventure is that there were once twin brothers with superpowers living in Granite City. The townsfolk feared their power and tried to kill them but ended up only killing their parents. One brother, Nemesis, swore revenge while the other brother, Samaritan, swore to protect folks. Eventually they fight an epic battle...

Avenging Angelo is an outrageous 90s style mob comedy (released in the 2000s) with a great cast! It has a lot of tonal issues and never seems to find a solid footing of what kind of movie it wants to be which makes for a really interesting discussion. Hilarious episode in this very strange Stallone era.

After a solid 2 month break we are back with another cut of Stallone. This is a very interesting cut of Stallone indeed. We have thriller/horror Stallone. We have weird The Thing rip off Stallone. It's 2000's Stallone. Identity crisis Stallone. Ultimately very worth covering in order for us to be completionists, but very bizarre movie indeed. Enjoy!

Driven is a sports movie. A car movie. A Renny Harlan movie. It features an aged Stallone struggling with how to stay relevant in a rapidly changing world. The movie seems to simultaneously want to give some young up and coming actors a shot while also maintaining that Sly is the main guy and not too old to be the best. Ultimately falling short of actually being a good movie. But it is a fun ride...

Get Carter is our first entry into the weird middle era of 2000s Stallone! We also get Michael Caine Stallone. We get very closely cropped goatee Stallone. Pacific Stallone. Gen X relevant Stallone. Friends with his niece Stallone. Music Video Stallone. It is very turn of the century film making. Fun movie. Fun conversation! get into it!!

Antz is an interesting movie. What could be derided as "just an animated movie" is actually discourse level elevated material about ideology and politics. How the very fabric of our societies are structured. The brothers have a surprisingly academic discussion about this hidden gem of a movie. Despite the unfortunate casting of famed absuer Woody Allen this movie has some good Stallone! Get into t...

Cop Land features a star studded cast including most of the Sopranos actors and some heavy hitting A-listers including Robert Deniro and Harvey Keitel. Stallone holds his own in this massive cast and this ambitious film. This episode also features friend of the show Ana joining the brothers to discuss this "The Wire"-like realistic late 90s drama!

Daylight is a disaster movie in the style of disaster movies that were all the rage in the 90s through the early 2000s. This one stars Stallone as a disgraced emergency task force guy turned limo driver who has to single handedly go down to save the ensemble of 90s TV actors (+viggo) after they're trapped in a New York city underground tunnel that's collapsed at both ends. Are you thinking about t...

"Assassins" is the legendary first pairing of Antonio Banderas and Stallone! It also shows early signs of greatness in everyone's fav Julianne Moore. It's very much a product of the of the mid 90s with more computers Stallone! Also this episode features T4M fan fav and patron of the podcast Brandon Lim! Cryptostein himself! We chat about the origin story of his new T4M moniker among other things....

To celebrate getting 10 patrons we decided to record and release a special The Mummy episode. Be warned the brothers veer off topic quite a bit in this episode and maybe not all of your fav Mummy moments will be honoured, but it is a hilarious episode. This is the kind of bonus content you can expect if you become a patron today!
