This week on the Everything Actioncast, shit gets real as Zach and Chris talk about the 2003 Michael Bay extravaganza Bad Boys II as the fourth movie in the franchise, Bad Boys: Ride or Die hits theaters.

Seven years after the first movie, Mike Lowery (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) are a part of the Tactical Narcotics Team in Miami, trying to track down and stop the kingpin shipping in massive amounts of ecstasy into the city.  Unknown initially to the Bad Boys, Marcus' sister Syd (Gabrielle Union) is working for the DEA undercover and getting close to Johnny Tapia (Jordi Molla), the Cuban druglord behind everything.  Zach and Chris talk about how everything is ramped up to 11 in this sequel, the over-the-top action, Michael Bay's obsession with corpses, if you can drive up to Guantanamo Bay in a Hummer, the hit-or-miss comedic set pieces, and more.

You can stream Bad Boys II on Hulu, Pluto TV, and Starz.

Next week, we're diving into Chronicles of Riddick to celebrate both Karl Urban's return as Billy Butcher in The Boys Season 4 and the movie's 20th anniversary.

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris send their minds 10 years into the past to discuss X-Men: Days of Future Past for its 10th anniversary.

The follow-up to X-Men: First Class, Days of Future Past combined the new cast introduced in Matthew Vaughn's movie with the OG Fox X-Men cast for a battle across time as Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) gets his consciousness sent back to 1973 to prevent the events that lead to a dark future where mutants (and their human allies) are hunted by the ruthless robots known as Sentinels.  Zach and Chris talk about how terrible the Sentinel design is, the still incredible Quicksilver (Evan Peters) slo-mo sequence, the fun bits of alternate history, how exactly Hank's (Nicolas Hoult) serum gives Charles (James McAvoy) back the ability to walk, the Timecopesque implications of the ending scene and more.

X-Men: Days of Future Past is available to stream on Max [https://play.max.com/movie/ff0bdef1-53d2-4b72-b107-04939b70759f]. Next week, we're diving into Walter Hill's "rock n roll fable" Streets of Fire, which is turning 40.

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris return to the start of the Monsterverse to discuss Godzilla for its 10th anniversary.

Directed by Gareth Edwards, Godzilla kicked off the Monsterverse as a pair of giant kaiju called MUTOs emerge and wreak havoc across the globe. Their appearance also draws the attention of Godzilla, who hunts the MUTOs down as they challenge his role as the alpha predator of the Earth.  Aaron Taylor-Johnson is Ford Brody, a Navy EOD soldier who is trying to get home to San Fransisco but keeps getting caught in the battle between the giant monsters.  Zach and Chris talk about the lifecycle of MUTOs, the dramatically more serious tone compared to the current Monsterverse entries, the early death of Bryan Cranston, the awesome sense of size and scale, and more.  You can watch Godzilla on Max.

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Mummy.

A "remake" of the 1932 Boris Karloff Universal Monsters classic, Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, Arnold Vosloo, John Hannah, and Oded Fehr star in the action-packed update that was a massive hit in 1999 and spawned sequels, a spin-off franchise, a theme park ride, and an animated series.  Zach and Chris talk about how the curse to punish Imhotep makes him an unstoppable evil force, try to figure out what crime Rick committed that would get him hanged, the outstanding balance of action, humor, and horror, if there's one too many greedy weasely characters and more.

You can watch The Mummy on Peacock or rent it from various digital services.   Next week, we're returning to the Monsterverse's beginning and talking about Godzilla (2014) as it celebrates its 10th anniversary.
