The Dumb Cool Weird Podcast Wes Walker and Nick Zervas

Blast from the past with a funky twist—our latest chatter is all about the golden era of '80s action movies, the time when explosions were big, and the heroes' muscles were bigger. We kick things off with a laugh, reminiscing about Arnold Schwarzenegger's infinite ammo in "Commando" and the iconic triple treat from "Total Recall." It's a riotous rewind to the days when one-liners were as essential as a good chase scene, and we can't help but smirk at the cheesy goodness that saturated the silver screen.

We don't just stop at Arnold's antics, though. Our nostalgic stroll takes us through the streets of "First Blood," dives into the explosive Nakatomi Plaza of "Die Hard," and even glances at the noir shadow of "Batman" (1989). We give props to the synth beats that scored our favorite face-offs and take a moment to appreciate how Eddie Murphy went from "Beverly Hills Cop" to Family films. It's a celebration of the sights, sounds, and stunts that made '80s action flicks the unforgettable thrill rides we still can't get enough of.

As we pack up our boombox, we tease the future of our Movie Monday series—your ticket to the wonderfully awful movies of yesteryear. Whether you're in Atlanta or tuning in from afar, prepare for a dose of hilarity as we promise to unearth and share every corny plot twist and every ridiculous creature feature from the 20th century's treasure trove. Stay sexy, listeners, and get ready for more laughs, memories, and all the '80s action your heart can handle. Wes and Nick have their hands full.

Wes and Nick start a their own legendary journey watching the Hercules Tv Show Movies with the first one being about amazon women who hate men and want to sleep with them at the same time. Travel back in time with us to the era of demigods and myths, as we unveil the quirky origins of "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and its foundational TV movie, "Hercules and the Amazon Women." Experience a fresh take on Kevin Sorbo's earlier, more Herculean build and the impact his political opinions have had, akin to those of fellow actors Clint Eastwood and Bruce Willis. Our discussion doesn't shy away from the contentious, diving into Chris Pratt's religious controversy, but we always circle back to the classic tale of a muscle-bound hero in a world where Zeus might just be the most irresponsible father in mythology.

Prepare for a hearty chuckle as we dissect the gender-bending hijinks and straight-to-the-point romance in the midst of a womanless village's conundrum. We spotlight an early appearance by Lucy Lawless and ponder the deus ex machina ending that somehow still leaves us charmed by the practical effects of '90s TV magic. So, arm yourself with snacks and nostalgia – our Movie Monday is an invitation to relive the adventures that paved the way for Xena and set the stage for Hercules' epic journey.

Plot:

Hercules returns home to visit his mother Alcmene and to the wedding of his best friend Iolaus. Out of the blue, the villager Pithus arrives asking for help to Hercules to defeat monsters that are attacking his distant village. Hercules travels with Iolaus to fight the monsters and soon they learn that they are indeed Amazons controlled by the evil Hera.

Wes and Nick watch this unhinged acid trip of a movie with Pee-Wee, (who may or may not be on the spectrum) that is surprisingly more tame than the show itself.

Plot:

The cartoonish and childish character Pee-wee Herman goes on a big adventure for the first time ever when his beloved shiny new bicycle is stolen by his nemesis Francis Buxton, a fellow man-child and neighborhood rich "kid." And he sets off on an obsessive cross-country journey, determined to recover it. Pee-wee's awkward and childish attempts to be cool and mature.
