Everything Actioncast Everything Action

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris sharpen their claws and discuss 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the first time Wade Wilson/Deadpool and Wolverine shared the screen before this weekend's Deadpool & Wolverine.

The fourth film released in Fox's X-Men franchise, X-Men Origins: Wolverine sought to show the origins of Logan (Hugh Jackman) and how he became the adamantium-clawed amnesiac we met in the first X-Men movie, which includes his relationship with his brother Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber). What we got was a mess of a film full of contradictions to things we already saw in the previous movies, atrocious CG, and the absolute abomination that is Weapon XI, aka Deadpool. The guys talk about all that, plus the only live-action appearance of Gambit, the fantastic opening credits, how the video game adaptation is the better version, the infamous workprint leak, and more.

For the latest Everything Action Commentary, Zach and Chris are joined again by special guest Phil from Digital Pimp [http://digitalpimponline.com/] to watch another terrible comic book movie, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.

In the final Superman film starring Christopher Reeve, the madmen at The Cannon Group acquired the rights to Superman, even though they were hemorrhaging money, and pitted the Man of Steel against a radioactive glam rock villain, Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow) as part of Lex Luthor's (Gene Hackman) scheme.  Margot Kidder, Marc McClure, and Jackie Cooper return as Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White, respectively, while Jon Cryer co-stars as Lex's nephew Lenny, and Mariel Hemingway plays the horny new editor of The Daily Planet, Lacy Warfield.  While watching the movie, the guys discuss how it seems like Gene Hackman had no restrictions on his wardrobe or set design, how most of the movie is a wacky 80s sitcom, Nuclear Man's absurd weakness to darkness, the bonkers gym scene, and more.

You can watch Superman IV: The Quest for Peace on Max.  Sync up the movie with our commentary to watch along.

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris face the dark side of nature and the 90s disaster classic Twister, as its sequel, Twisters, hits theaters this weekend.

Bill Paxton stars as former storm chaser Bill Harding, who reunites with his ex-wife Jo (Helen Hunt) to make sure she has finalized their divorce papers, but he gets pulled back into chasing tornadoes when he finds out Jo and her team have built "Dorothy," a device he and Jo designed to study tornadoes from within.  Bill gives Jo one day to try to get Dorothy flying, and his new fiancée, Melissa (Jami Gertz), gets dragged along for the ride.  Zach and Chris discuss what would probably really happen if you were super close to an F5 tornado, what Dusty's (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) job on Jo's team is, who is sponsoring the "evil" team led by Cary Elwes, the various mishaps and injuries that happened on set and more.

You can watch Twister currently on Max.  Next week, we're digging into Logan's past and talking about X-Men Origins: Wolverine as Deadpool & Wolverine hits theaters.

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris join the Starleague to defend The Frontier and talk about 1984's The Last Starfighter, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary.

Lance Guest stars as Alex Rogan, who wishes to escape his trailer park home and unexpectedly gets his chance when, after beating the record on the arcade machine Starfighter, he's recruited by intergalactic hustler Centauri (Robert Preston) to put his skills to the test for real, become a Starfighter for the planet Rylos, and help them defeat the evil Xur (Norman Snow) and the invading Ko-Dan armada.  Zach and Chris try to figure out Centauri's scheme for making money off Starfighter, celebrate the greatness of Grig (Dan O'Herlihy), the wacky adventures of Beta, the (at the time) cutting-edge CG effects, and more.

You can rent or buy The Last Starfighter on platforms like Amazon [https://amzn.to/4cTgliI]. Next week, we'll face the dark side of nature and discuss Twister to prepare for the release of Twisters next weekend.

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris enter the world of evil karate to talk about The Karate Kid Part III, which recently celebrated its 35th anniversary, and it's also just in time for the start of the sixth and final season of Cobra Kai.

Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita return as Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Miyagi, fresh from their trip to Okinawa in The Karate Kid Part II.  Instead of going to college, Daniel buys a rundown store on the wrong side of town and tries to open a bonsai store with Mr. Miyagi.  Unfortunately for the duo, John Kreese (Martin Kove) is looking for revenge after he was humiliated in The Karate Kid and contacts his millionaire friend Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) to enact an extremely complicated scheme to crush Daniel and Mr. Miyagi under the might of Cobra Kai.  The guys talk about the over-the-top Bond villainy of Terry Silver, the surprising amount of mountain rappelling in a karate movie, the legality of a 17-year-old leasing a business in 1980s California, the movie's surprising importance to Cobra Kai, the extremely abbreviated All Valley Tournament and more.

You can watch The Karate Kid Part III on Starz or buy/rent it from digital storefronts like Amazon. Next week, we'll discuss The Last Starfighter as it celebrates its 40th anniversary.

For this month's Everything Action Commentary, Zach and Chris catch Digital Pimp's Joe and Phil in their web to watch the 2024 theatrical bomb turned Netflix hit, Madame Web.

Dakota Johnson stars as Cassie Webb, a paramedic in New York City in 2003.  After a near-death experience while on a rescue call, Cassie starts to experience deja vu and slowly realizes she is getting glimpses of the future.  When she has visions of three young girls (Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, and Celeste O'Connor) getting attacked and killed by a mysterious attacker, she decides to intervene and help them.  The assassin is Ezekiel Sims (Tahar Rahim), who shares Cassie's precognitive abilities and enhanced strength and agility. He has visions of the three girls killing him with superpowers in the future.  While watching Madame Web, the guys point out all the Pepsi product placement, the insane camera zooms and editing, the correct and incorrect way to do CPR, the hilariously terrible dialogue, try to figure out anything about Ezekiel and his plans, and more.

You can stream Madame Web on Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/search?q=madame&jbv=81762621] and watch along with the Everything Action crew.
