Avenging Force is one of these Canon films starring Michael Dudikoff, and it's surely lousy, but damn if it isn't the most fun take on The Most Dangerous Game this side of Hard Target with Van Damme. Jason and Todd talk about the movie they were supposed to watch but it was no longer available, The Devil's Workshop starring Radha Mitchell. They really don't remember anything much a

I Am Sam is a movie starring Sean Penn as a special needs person, as supported by special needs people also playing special needs people.

Hobo with a Shotgun is a violently silly movie with Rutger Hauer. Jason isn't as into as Todd, which naturally leads them down a path to discuss cats, Shia LaBeouf's art installation, and whatever the name is of the guy who directed that thing that was pretty good.

Flight from Ashiya is an old movie about a rescue team led by a racist guy who hates Yul Brenner for being Japanese, which of course he is not.

Fear City is an Abel Ferrara movie with Tom Berenger and a bunch of really famous actresses being exploited for cheap thrills. Jason thinks it's gross, and Todd does do, but they are watching this thing anyway. Stuff other than Fear City being discussed: Shoot to Kill starring Tom Berenger, Switchback starring Dennis Quaid which is not to be confused with Shoot to Kill, and even th

The Reflecting Skin is a kinda vampire movie directed by the same guy who did The Passion of Darkly Noon. His titles are weird. And there's always that Viggo. But that doesn't matter, because Jason and Todd are talking about funerals, tricks for remembering names, and the trouble with greasers.

The Passion of Darkly Noon is a movie that is exactly the movie its title suggests. Jason and Todd talk about future tragedies a couple cast members would face, the fact that golden hour is not at noon, and the how important it is not to take in stray men stumbling through the forest behind your house. It's a lot to digest, but so is The Passion of Darkly Noon. So, hop on the shoe

Life of the Party is a Melissa McCarthy movie that made $65 million at the box office. It's a kind of riff on Back to School. Jason hates it. Todd loves Melissa McCarthy no matter what. They also talk a lot about losers and what should be done with them. Spoiler alert: at the end they feel terrible.

No Safe Haven is a revenge thriller with one Wings Hauser, easily the most favored actor of this podcast. Jason's backside is bothering him and Todd is facing a professional existential crisis, so they mostly ignore Wings in order to talk about what is wrong with society and how much they would like to fix it except they have no money. Oh, and Doctor Zhivago.

Possession is a horror movie with Sam Neil that feels like you are watching scene work from an acting class. Jason and Todd sometimes get mesmerized by the acting in this movie enough to actually talk about the movie itself, but they also talk about children's television, anal surgery, and what kinds of guns they like to shoot. Also, they breakdown the Oscar movies they've seen. Wh
