    #271 - Above the Law (1988): Scene by Scene Riff

    Nico Toscani is a Chicago cop with a mysterious CIA past, a ponytail in progress, and a serious allergy to anyone thinking they're above the law — especially when that includes corrupt feds, mobsters, and a certain knife-wielding villain with a face that looks borrowed. Steven Seagal's debut vehicle mixes gritty cop drama, over-the-top action, and enough plot twists to make you wonder if the script was written by committee… or butter injections. In this week's episode, James, Dave, Bob, and Mel dive scene-by-scene into Seagal's first big swing. They break down the wild Vietnam backstory, the legendary car hood ride, the church bombing, bodega brawls, and that unforgettable "keep the change, you filthy animal" cameo. Expect plenty of laughs at the hair, the flips, the running form, the shoe throw, and whether this is peak early Seagal or the beginning of the end. They also hand out the awards (including a rare tie for the Will Patton), debate if this is a "bad movie that rules" or just straight-up bad, and wonder what Arnold or Kurt Russell could've done with the same material. Plus: Pam Grier in the car, Sharon Stone with random babies, and why this movie feels like three different films fighting for dominance.

    #270 - 2 Fast 2 Furious: A Scene By Scene Riff

    The BMR crew is back for more quarter-mile chaos (and whatever the hell that bridge jump was) as we dive into 2 Fast 2 Furious! James, Clint, Bob, and Joe reunite to roast the Paul Walker/Tyreese Gibson bromance, Ludacris in a full-body jumpsuit, Cole Hauser’s rat torture tactics, and enough ejector seat talk to make you question physics. From Orange Julius-sponsored street races to houseboat showdowns and that legendary car-on-boat stunt, this one’s packed with early-2000s Miami vibes, terrible cop plots, and non-stop tangents. We debate if this is the weakest Fast film, hand out awards (including the most cursed supporting performances), and deliver our final verdicts. Buckle up — it’s bad, it’s furious, and it’s exactly what the BMRmy ordered.

    Highlander (1986) - Good Movies Rule PREVIEW

    This is an extended sample from our full 2+ hour discussion on Highlander, and we can't wait to talk about this cult classic. Want the whole thing? Click the link below to become a Patreon supporter! https://www.patreon.com/badmoviesrule We were all shocked when this one landed on GMR instead of BMR — Patrick fully expected to feed us a stinker, but Highlander (7.0 IMDb, strong critic/audience scores) showed up ready to rumble. Join us as we dive into this cult classic with Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod, Sean Connery as the fabulous Spanish-Egyptian mentor Ramirez, and Clancy Brown absolutely dominating as the unhinged Kurgan. We break down the epic sword fights (parking garage brawl, rooftop chaos, and that mountain training montage), the killer Queen soundtrack, Canon Films chaos, immortal rules, ridiculous accents, and why this 80s gem still hits with nostalgia, practical effects, and unhinged energy. Expect wrestling tangents, quickening breakdowns, Heather’s heartbreaking scenes, and our full awards (clean sweep for Clancy Brown’s intensity!). A fun, heartfelt episode celebrating a movie that’s better than it has any right to be. There can be only one… and this one rules. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    #269 - Unmasking the Idol (1986) | Pure Chaos, Scene by Scene

    James, Mattila, Nicole, and Danger Dave dive headfirst into the gloriously ridiculous 1986 ninja action flick Unmasking the Idol! Expect chainmail masks, a weather balloon escape, the most intelligent baboon in cinema history (Boone!), piranha pits, a hot tub full of ninjas, and more questionable decision-making than you can shake a throwing star at. This one starts strong with over-the-top action and only gets wilder from there. The crew roasts the plot holes, debates whether it’s a parody or just straight-up unhinged, and tries to survive the slowest, most balloon-dependent mission in movie history. Is it a bad movie that rules? Tune in to find out! Free on Prime — watch it, then tell us your favorite (or least favorite) moment.

    From Russia With Love (1963) - Die Another Episode PREVIEW

    This is an extended sample from our new James Bond show, Die Another Episode, and we can't wait to talk through every James Bond movie! Want the whole thing? Click the link below to become a Patreon supporter! https://www.patreon.com/badmoviesrule James and Chuck dive into the second Bond film — the one that truly made 007 a global phenomenon — while a massive thunderstorm tries to wash them (and the new studio) off the map. Soaked shorts, bare feet on the third floor during a tornado watch, thunder on cue, and zero shoes? They break down the bigger budget, exotic locations, and the squad that returned from Dr. No (same director, same writers, even more grand scale). Robert Shaw as the chilling Grant, Lotte Lenya’s brass-knuckled Rosa Klebb, a very young Daniela Bianchi as Tatiana, the debut of Q and his briefcase of wonders, gypsy camp chaos, that legendary train fight, helicopter mayhem, boat chases, and all the tropes this movie cemented for the franchise. Expect plenty of tangents: leg doubles, poison shoes, Spectre’s loudspeaker addiction, chess tournament stress, and whether red wine really does go with fish. Plus heartfelt chat about why this one still hits so hard. If you love the riffs, the breakdowns, and surviving natural disasters just to talk Bond with the boys, this one’s a blast. Grab your martini (shaken, not stirred) and join us! Thanks for supporting the show — your patronage keeps the lights on (and the rain off our shorts). What did you think of From Russia with Love?
