This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris make an Executive Decision to talk about the 90s action thriller as it turns 30, and with both Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and The Madison bringing us a bunch of Kurt Russell on streaming.
Kurt stars as Dr. David Grant, an intelligence consultant to the US government who is called in when a plane flying from Athens to Washington D.C. is hijacked, Believing there is a deadly nerve agent on-board and that the terrorist leader Hassan (David Suchet) is most likely planning on using the plane as a massive bomb to spread the agent, a risky mid-air infiltration is launched. Grant joins a special forces team, led by Col. Austin Travis (Steven Seagal), to use an experimental stealth plane called the Remora to get on board, defuse the bomb, and take out the terrorists. Zach and Chris talk about how shocking it was to see Seagal die shortly into the movie, the montage that feels like the Previously On... of a TV show, how insanely overcomplicated the terrorists' bomb is, how the movie feels extremely Tom Clancy, and more.
You can rent or buy Executive Decision on Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. Next week, we're celebrating St. Patrick's Day with the 1993 horror comedy classic Leprechaun, which is getting a new 4K release from Lionsgate Limited.
