Thirsty For More - Movie Review

The stunning continuation of this huge nostalgic undertaking. The brothers pick up right where they left off discussing the 1985 classic Back To The Future! On the B side the bros tackle all the strange and problematic ways in which race seems to pop up in this film while also examining the iconography of the world. Like with all great B sides this one dives into more emotional territory that will...

Was the movie Back To The Future Reagan's secret weapon in defeating the USSR and ending the cold war? Is the fact that George McFly is of Irish decent representative of aspirational whiteness in the 1950's? Does this movie somehow comment on race, class, gender, and sexual violence issues while also at the same time being incredibly problematic? The brothers discuss the answer to all of these que...

Viy 2: Journey To China: Mystery of Iron Mask is a strange Russo-Chinese co-production. It is billed as starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan, but they're really more of a C plot much to the chagrin of everyone who watched this. The movie is not without its charm though because of how hard it commits to its weird choices. The brothers are here for it and this time they are joined again by...

Killing Gunther is a mocumentary about a misfit team of assassins that tries to kill the best hitman in the world. Played by Schwartzy of course. But this movie is terrible. And the brothers hated watching, but they really enjoyed talking to each other about it. You will enjoy listening to it. Schwartzy is almost over. So listen while they're still being released! Tell a friend! We are gonna conti...

"Aftermath" is a film that proves that Arnold Schwarzenegger is full of surprises. The film is a performance driven, slow burn melodrama that examines two different perspectives of grief, loss and depression. Listen to the brothers struggle to make the sombre material funny for their faithful audience while interrupting each other even more so than usual. Stay safe and indoors friends of the show!...

Sometimes it takes a really bad movie to make a really fun episode. Terminator Genisys is that movie. And this is that episode. The brothers are joined by friend and film connoisseur Keenan Marr Tamblyn to discuss this ludicrously exposition and CGI heavy blockbuster failure. Some hilarious iconic phrases in this one coupled with copious audio drops and the deepest cut references for your viewing...

The themes that come up in "Maggie" are strangely prescient and timely. What if the ability of one nation's health care system was put to the test by a global pandemic? What if a regular midwestern family had to deal with the repercussions of such a lack of preparedness??z Surely this couldn't be real life! It's Maggie! The brothers talk about all this and more with star guest: Willow Weber; who h...

"Expendables 3" marks the 40th episode of Schwartzy the podcast. To tackle an episode of such mammoth proportions the brothers are joined by the original Predator gang to elaborate on the ensemble of a much more geriatric franchise. Friends and associate producers of the show: Lee and Kays give their much anticipated action hero hottakes in an episode so gargantuan it spans an entire continent. So...

“Sabotage” may suffer from that weird David Ayer Netflix syndrome where it seems like a good thing…but is never quite a good thing. However the brothers were delighted to find that this movie contained some of the most compelling Schwarzty acting to date. Ultimately the B movie quality weighs down Schwartzy’s muscular, but elderly shoulders. The film is still very worth checking out as is this del...

Hey friends! The brothers had a stroke of bad luck and a hard drive with the episode slated for this week was damaged. It was an amazing episode, but sadly it may be lost forever!

The movie The Last Stand marks the first film of the bronze era of Schwartzy films. Our fearless badass Austrian action hero has now become old and reminded us all of the cruelty of human existence.

This e...

Those who call Marvel's Infinity War the most ambitious crossover event in history have clearly never seen "The Expendables"! This movie is like a boomer action star starter pack complete with: HGH maintained bodies, chopper motorcycles, questionable dye jobs and even more questionable hairlines. Despite the novelty of the action movie star crossover director Stallone delivers a cohesive story tha...

Around The World In 80 Days is a remake of the Jules Vern classic starring Jackie Chan and Steve Coogan. Much like The Rundown this film provides the brothers with an opportunity to compare and contrast two legendary performers: Jackie and Schwartzy. The "Governator" years of Schwartzy's career saw him doing brownface in this brief but, jarring racist cameo. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @sc...

Was The Rundown a symbolic passing of the torch from Schwartzy to The Rock? Is The Rock a worthy successor to Schwartzy? Does a two second cameo qualify The Rundown as a Schwartzy movie? Join the brothers this week and find out as they do an academic deep dive comparing and contrasting the two action stars while discussing this extremely entertaining film. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @schw...

Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines doesn’t have the strength of its convictions. It doesn’t commit to being the part three of a beloved franchise. The insecurities are very clear in the writing; like the way the film tries to make a joke out of everything that had previously been celebrated. The brothers read the film to shit for it. However, it is not without its choice camp moments! Listen to th...

The last in a mini series of "Proto-Schwartzy" episodes where the brothers revisit previously unreleased early episodes of the show. "Stay Hungry" is a 1976 comedy-drama directed by Bob Rafelson and starring the amazing Jeff Bridges, Sally Field and of course Arnold Schwarzenegger. A very unusual film in the Schwartzy cannon, but one that should definitely not be overlooked. Once again the brother...

"Happy Anniversary And Goodbye"is a bizarre 3 camera sitcom style, Lucille Ball vehicle. It also marks the third "Proto-Schwartzy" episode recorded and forgotten some time ago (2017/2018). Join the brothers as they finally approach a somewhat normal conversation while discussing this weird little anomaly. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Rico, an Italian masseuse! Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @s...

The second in a short series of "Proto-Schwartzy" early episodes of the show that were recorded and forgotten some time ago. This time the brothers discuss "The Long Goodbye" a film by Robert Altman based on a noir-ish detective series created by Raymond Chandler. Listen to the brothers awkwardly bicker as they find their podcasting voices and delight in their genuine enjoyment of 70's movie endin...

While the brothers take some much needed downtime from recording new episodes, experience their humble beginnings with the first of 4 "Proto-Schwartzy" episodes. "Hercules in New York" saw Milenko stumble through awkward performativity while Aleks berates him mercilessly for it. Hear the kernels of ideas that later blossomed into the Schwartzy show you know and love. Recorded circa late 2017-early...

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if everyone's favourite action hero: Arnold Schwarzenegger directed a quirky romantic comedy b movie? Wonder no more and get into the spirit of the holidays with the brothers on a very special Christmas Schwartzy. "Christmas in Connecticut" is a 1992 holiday TV movie that has all the ingredients of a hallmark Christmas movie with an offbeat Lynchian ton...

The brothers have a surprisingly intense conversation about US foreign policy, the CIA, terrorism, racism and all other kinds of things that were sparked while discussing “Collateral Damage”. 2002 was a strange time to be releasing a movie about acts of terrorism in the United States. Special guest: Amir Pourmohammadi joins them and brings with him a keen political science insight brought on by di...

SPOILERS AHEAD: The brothers discuss Edward Furlong's reaction to Terminator: Dark Fate. While talking about the film's underwhelming box office performance and lukewarm critical reception they veer into some random meandering political territory. This is one to miss folks. It's not very interesting. Trust me. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @schwartzythepodcast and @schwartzypod on Twitter us...

Friend of the show Leila Darragh joins the brothers to discuss “The 6th Day” which is basically an awkward low rent Total Recall. This is one of those movies that scares you about technology. But not gonna lie this episode is basically 2 hours of Aleks doing a Michael Rooker impression with a side of Michael Rappaport impression.
