    Broken Arrow (1996)

    Action Hero: Riley Hale We are THE LAST ACTION HEROES, the “heroic everyman thrust into an impossible situation and just making it up as we go” of movie podcasts. We are dedicated to ranking the very best and worst of action hero cinema protagonists…and so far…we’re not dead. This episode we are blasting out of this crashing plane on ejector seats and landing deep in the desert of Utah as we take on another John Woo classic: BROKEN ARROW (1996). Down on his luck stealth bomber pilot RILEY HALE suddenly finds himself thrust into a dangerous game of cat and mouse when his copilot and friend(?) VIC DEAKINS snaps and decides to stick it to the man by hijacking 2 thermal nuclear warheads and ransoming them back to the US for a hefty sum…hefty enough so he can live out his dream of providing safe cars for all the people he’s about to blow up. What a thoughtful guy! Can our boyish action hero break the curse of the cookie cutter 90s action stereotype and step up to the challenge of out manoeuvring his nemesis, save America and get the girl (maybe ask her her name first Riles!!)? Join us for another action hero tear down to find out!! And definitely do not ‘get to the choppa’ for this film…it doesn’t seem to work out well for those guys!

When the leader of the most powerful gang in NY is assassinated at a grand gang summit, the 9 delegates of Coney Island’s The Warriors find themselves framed for the murder and stranded on the wrong side of the city.

    Cutthroat Island (1995)

    Action Hero: Morgan Adams PSA: as any sea-dawg worth his salt knows, you can’t embark on a voyage without a good stash of rum…and so, for this voyage on the good ship TLAH the rum was plentiful. Maybe too plentiful. Caution: side effects include giggling, arguments, nonsense and spontaneous rapping. Listener discretion is advised.

This episode we take to the high seas aboard the Morning Star under Captain Morgan Adams as we race her diabolical uncle to the family jewels in CUTTHROAT ISLAND (1995). After the death of her father Morgan Adams must take command of her fathers vessel and ragtag extras…(sorry we meant crew. Ragtag crew) and prove her piratey worth in securing the biggest bounty on the high seas.

You’ll have to tune in to find out! So buckle up, hoist the anchor and drop the sheets cause it’s time to go a pirating!! And please visit this show again when you have more time.

    Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

    Action Hero: Sarah Connor & T800-101 We are The Last Action Heroes, a mini gun toting, motorbike riding, unstoppable killing machine of a movie podcast on a mission to rate the very best and worst of action cinema protagonists from across the ages. In our first episode of season 3 we decided there’s no fate but what we make for ourselves so we travelled back in time from the future war to warn the world about TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY! (1991) Wait..y’all have seen it!!?? Well then you know what we’re taking about when we say it’s an absolute banger!!!! In 1992 Los Angeles, future war hero and all round saviour dude John Connor is marked for termination by the T1000: a shapeshifting liquid metal killing machine sent back through time. Luckily future John remembered his prepubescent years (and what a horrible time that was) and sent back another terminator to act as his protector: the iconic T800. Together with Johns mother SARAH CONNOR, the survivor of a previous termination attempt (and plagued by dreams of the worst BBQ party ever!), this unlikely family unit decide to fight back against the threat of the future and change the course of history. A woman suffering severe PTSD and a killer robot may not seem like the basis for great action heroes but what unfolds is often heralded as one of the greatest action movies of all time. Each of our heroes certainly has more than their moment to shine but how will they hold up in our ultimate action hero showdown?

    They Live (1988)

    Action Hero: Nada Welcome to The Last Action Heroes, an ass kicking, bubble gum chewing, tight jean wearing movie podcast on a mission to rate the very best and worst of action cinema protagonists across the ages.  In this episode we throw on some cool as f**k sunnies and wake up to fight the oppression of 80s extreme capitalism in John Carpenters 1988 cult classic THEY LIVE.  Down on his luck drifter NADA discovers the rat race is not all it’s cracked up to be when he comes into possession of a pair of sunglasses that allow him to see the world for what is: a world where humanity has been enslaved in a capitalist dystopia run by an alien race who live a life of luxury at our expense.  Figured it’d be something like this! With his hulking stature, impressive fighting style and even more impressive one liners, NADA is not the kind of guy to take this shit lying down and he soon embarks on a rampage to take down the alien threat. But where will his glorious mullet land on TLAH leaderboard?  Join us to find out…and remember…OBEY, CONSUME & CONFORM ——————— Twitter: @TL_ActionHeroes Instagram: @thelastactionheroespodcast

    John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)

    Action Hero: John Wick We are The Last Action Heroes, a kung fu fighting, gun wielding, professional killer of a movie podcast on a mission to rate the very best and worst of action cinema protagonists. This episode we are kicking back with none other than the Baba Yaga!! We’ve got our feet up in her cosy little chicken legged house, the fire’s roaring and we’re watching TV. Would the Baba Yaga have a tv we hear you say? Damn straight she would and she’d probably be watching JOHN F*****G WICK: CHAPTER 2! That’s right, the badass assassin finally makes his TLAH debut, kicking, punching, and shooting his way onto our ultimate action hero leader board. After killing his dog, stealing his car and generally messing with his shit, the bad guys prove they don’t have a lot to learn from the first movie (honestly you’d think they’d have watched it!) and this time they are back to drag JOHN WICK back into the shadowy world of assassin hotel entrepreneurs as they blow up his house, nearly his second dog and force him to take up the life he thought he left behind. Luckily for us John Wick is a man of focus, determination and sheer f*****g will, tearing up the screen with a movie chock full of awesome cars, gorgeous people, bone breaking fight scenes and balletic gunplay that would make John Wu gush. Something tells us this guy has a real shot at hitting the leader board high. Join us to find out where he makes his mark and somebody pleeeeasse, get this man a gun! Or a pencil. ---------- Twitter: @TL_ActionHeroes Instagram: @thelastactionheroespodcast

    Pathfinder (2007)

    Action Hero: Ghost We are The Last Action Heroes, a tough talking, hard hitting movie podcast on a mission to rate the very best and worst of action cinema protagonists. This episode we settle on the moody shores of proto-North America circa 1000AD, as a horde of blood thirsty goth’s…sorry…Vikings make landfall and do what Vikings do best: give out hugs and teddy bears to the locals. Wait…we got that wrong. We meant murder and pillage. The Vikings murder and pillage the local Wampanoag tribe in 2005’s PATHFINDER. Luckily for them they have a secret weapon in the form of GHOST; an abandoned Viking child raised by the Native Americans to become a fearsome warrior with an emo outlook on life and a white saviour complex. Can Ghost channel the spirit of the Pathfinder and use the strength of this seemingly unstoppable force against it to save his surrogate family from annihilation? More importantly: does Ghost have what it takes to become our ultimate last action hero? Maybe…if he can figure out who he is. ---------- Twitter: @TL_ActionHeroes Instagram: @thelastactionheroespodcast

    Army of Darkness (1992)

    Action Hero: Ash Williams We are THE LAST ACTION HEROES, a hard hitting movie podcast where we rate the very best and worst of action cinemas greatest leading men and women. Most as we can figure the year is 1300AD and we’re being dragged to our death. But how the hell did we get here? Best ask loud mouth braggart ASH WILLIAMS as we give him the TLAH tear down for a place in our ultimate action hero leaderboard with Sam Raimi’s 1992 cult classic ARMY OF DARKNESS. With a sawn off double barrelled Remington, a chainsaw for a hand, a big personality complex and the most majestic chin ever to grace our screens, we put Ash through his paces to argue why he more than deserves a spot amongst the action hero greats of our time. How will he fare? You’ll have to click that play button to find out! And remember: shop smart. Shop S-mart…you got that!?!
