On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are seeking some sweet revenge after being double-crossed by crooked businessmen and politicians. We watched and talked about the Robert Rodriguez film from 2010, Machete.
Let’s see… Have we got an ex-Federale waging an unstoppable crusade to enact bloody revenge on the bastards who took his family and life away from him? Check.
A brother who is a man of God but isn’t all that concerned with all of that “do not kill” nonsense? Check.
The sweetest comeuppance for an extremist political asshole you could ever hope to find in a movie? Check.
Lindsay Lohan dressed as a murderous nun? Um, check?
It appears that this film has everything a person could ever want in an action flick. Better yet, it’s our B movie of the month. Listen on to find out if we give it a rating of brilliant, flunder, or the dreaded blunder.
