It's manly! It's a movie! It might be a Monday! Join the phenomenon that is a group of guys in their early 30s, seeking out ironically hilarious or legitimately well-made action and comedy films from the 1980s-2000s--and then poorly expressing their critical analysis! Enjoy new episodes every other Monday.

Tango & Cash
“Rambo is a PODCAST.”
The gang returns for a surprisingly contentious episode over the 1989 buddy-cop classic, Tango & Cash! The gang is severely and unevenly split over the enjoyment of this movie, we’re bothered by the villain’s obsession with rodents, and we learn the tumultuous and insane story of the film’s unhinged producer, Jon Peters. -
The Last Boy Scout
"This is the '90s. You can't just go around PODCASTING people. You have to say something cool first."
The gang celebrates the upcoming Super Bowl with Bruce Willis’s football-adjacent 1991 buddy cop action comedy, The Last Boy Scout! We’re surprised that this is kind of a good movie, are baffled by Kent’s ridiculous and inconsistent villain danger rating, and are amused by John’s increasing irritability and aspirations to write a screenplay. -
Masters of the Universe
“I have the PODCAST!”
The gang travels first to Eternia and then back to Earth in Dolph Lundgren’s 1987 cult class, Masters of the Universe! We wonder aloud how to make a good He-Man movie, pitch some great spin-off material for Netflix, all while John grows increasingly antagonistic to wards this movie and towards mechanic/time traveler Gwildor.

Jingle All The Way
“What do I need the PODCAST for, I’ve got the real Turbo Man at home!”
The gang is feeling the Christmas cheer as Arnold Schwarzenegger and 90’s Sinbad scramble to get their children a cherished doll in this festive 1996 classic, Jingle All the Way! We wonder if Arnold actually learned a lesson in this film, if there was a Sinbad genie movie called Kazaam, and the lengths we would go to procure a Turbo Man!

Bloodsport
“Very good. But brick not PODCAST back.”
The gang has another Manly Movie “first” with our first flick featuring the Muscles from Brussels himself, Jean-Claude van Damme, in his first starring role: Bloodsport! In a definitely-not-true story, we marvel at JCVD’s earth-shattering splits, Forest Whitaker’s confusing presence in this film, and the longest flashback sequence in film history!

Invasion U.S.A.
"If you come back in, I'll hit you with so many rights you'll be begging for a PODCAST."
The gang experiences their first (of hopefully many) Chuck Norris action flick into 1985’s Invasion U.S.A.! We debate the logistics of an actual invasion, and find ourselves oddly impressed by the action sequences and general quality of this Cannon Films B-Movie classic!
