Anyway come join Scott and Craig as they continue their Val Kilmer season and examine this (rightfully) forgotten Kim Basinger vehicle that Val really does try his darndest to make this semi-entertaining in a valiantly futile effort. Much like the "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" episode Scott and Craig once again try to figure out why are these gags so bad? Is this Terence Stamp's worst performance? Who is this movie for exactly? And why have we put ourselves through this?

Join us as Scott and Craig open the season with Thunderheart (1992). A film that maybe Kilmer's most underrated 90s film and, in fact, may just be his most underrated film generally. Listen as Scott and Craig try to work out how this flick kind of got lost in the 90s shuffle, how the film despite its vintage largely avoids the obvious "magic Indian" tropes and just how g...

Caleb is back! Yes, YouTuber and friend of the show Caleb Knutson returns to talk about another one of his childhood favourite Kurt Russell flicks. Which is surprising as this movie is one that there is little nostalgia out there for. Not that it is bad movie. No, as Caleb and your regular hosts Scott and Craig discuss, it is actually a rather good film. It is just that it may be the most middle of the road action of the movie of the '90s. A film that positively screams THREE STARS. Something that we...
2021-09-152h 00All '90s Action, All The Time!'90s Kurt Russell - Stargate (1994)
In the third stop on their Kurt Russell journey, Craig and Scott explore the 1994 sci-fi blockbuster "Stargate." Over the course the episode they discuss how this film has probably the biggest legacy of any they film they have covered so far and just how random that legacy truly is. Also, they discuss the trilogy that never was, how the movie is structured in a odd way and get into how baffling it is that this film made it into Roger Ebert's all-time "Most Hated" list (Sure it ain't no Independence Day but it is a solid...

Join us as we continue our '90s Kurt Russell journey with the 1993 cult classic that is "Tombstone." Probably one of Kurt Russell's most iconic films. And to tackle such an iconic movie we need some back up and that is why, alongside regular hosts Scott Murphy and Craig Draheim, we enlisted host of the £1 Movie Podcast and Western enthusiast Wayne Saunders.
Over the course of the episode we talk about the films troubled production and how Kurt Russell ended up taking more of a...

And we're back again! This time around on Season 3 we breakdown the '90s films of Kurt Russell (an action star who is both iconic and yet still , we think, oddly underappreciated.) Kicking off the season Scott and Special Guest Caleb Knutson (check out his YouTube Channel Caleb Watches Movies) look at the 1991 Ron Howard *ahem* "classic" "Backdraft."
Ok, ok so we admit this movie is daft as a brush, has way too many subplots and a number of characters who have no r...

As always we end the season with a film that connects in some way to the main season but does not feature the action star we are covering. For Season 2 it is "Ronin" which stars Robert De Niro who co-starred alongside Stallone in "Copland."
Over the course of the episode regular co-hosts Craig and Scott try to unravel the movie's incredibly convoluted plot, breakdown what might be t...

It is our Season 2 finale! And we end the season by tackling the film that many think features Stallone's greatest performance. That's right we are talking "Copland"!
Also, this time around it is not just Craig and Scott as they are joined by "A Ghost Waits" director Adam Stovall. Over the course of the episode the trio debate whether this truly is Stallone's greatest performance, defends its inclusion in the...

Best Stallone One -Liner

2021-07-211h 00All '90s Action, All The Time!'90s Stallone - Daylight (1996)"I have found your heart, and I'm gonna blow it right out of you!" - Kit Latura (Stallone)
In the penultimate episode in our Stallone season Craig and Scott take a look at 1996 disaster flick "Daylight."
Over the course of the episode the pair talk about how 1996 was the year that so the return of the disaster pic, how this film may contain one of Stallone's most likeable performances of the decade and are blown away by the fact that Stallone's salary accounted for just over 20% of the budget (Budget: $80 million, Stallone's salary: $17.5 million). Plus...

On this week's episode Craig and Scott tackle possibly the most frustrating film of the season "Assassins." A film that gets off to a splendid start only to get progressively worse throughout its running time (seriously the third act is soul sapping).
Over the course of episode you will hear us talk about how the Wachowski's disowned this film, how 1995 seemed to be...
2021-07-071h 55All '90s Action, All The Time!'90s Stallone - Judge Dredd (1995)"I never broke the Law! I AM THE LAW!!" - Judge Dredd (Stallone)
Join us as Craig and Scott enter the strange and terrifying world of '90s comic book movies. Back in the pre-MCU, pre-Dark Knight, pre-X-Men days when Hollywood clearly had no clue how to deal with these sorts of films. On today's episode from this comic book movie wasteland we look at one of Stallone's most notorious bombs, JUDGE DREDD!
Over the course of the episode Craig and Scott talk about how Stallone clearly doesn't get the character or...
2021-06-301h 54All '90s Action, All The Time!90s Stallone - The Specialist (1994)"Good. Nice sense of irony, blowing up the bomb unit" - Ned Trent (James Woods)
Well, on the downside after two great weeks we are back to talking about bad movies. On the upside however it is a bad movie that has one of cinema's most unintentionally funny sex scenes (rivalling "Showgirls" and "Watchmen") and a wonderfully unhinged performance James Woods (back in simpler times when he just seemed like a fun actor instead of well, you know). That's right this week Craig and Scott are talking about 1994s "The Specialist." Stallone's sole attempt to cash in o...

After "Cliffhanger" got us back on the right path we return with another episode looking at another one of our favourites "Demolition Man." And just as exciting as that we also have a very special guest in the form of renowned YouTube movie reviewer Caleb Knutson. Over the course of the episode we discuss the joy that is Wesley Snipes as Simon Phoenix, just how lovable Sandra Bullock is in this film and the movies many memorable one-liners and set-pieces. Plus, of...
2021-06-161h 57All '90s Action, All The Time!'90s Stallone - Cliffhanger (1993)WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD
We continue on our 90s Stallone journey remarkably with a movie we actually like! Yes, it is 1993's Cliffhanger. But does it stand up to childhood nostalgia? Well Craig and Scott seek to find out and discover much to their delight that it is still almost as entertaining as they remembered it. From the classic opening to the thrilling mid-air heist to the scenery-chewing villains there is much to enjoy. Even if there is a couple of useless subplots that could easily be excised from the film.
Elsewhere, Craig and Scott talk...
2021-06-091h 54All '90s Action, All The Time!'90s Stallone - Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992)WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD
We continue on our 90s Stallone journey with the 1991 disaster that is "Stop! OR My Mom Will Shoot." A film that even Stallone himself considers to be the worst of his career (That is right even worse than "Rhinestone", "Driven" or "Get Carter"). Is it that bad? Well yeah, it pretty much is. But just like last week that doesn't mean we don't have a fun episode for you. Even if most of that fun will probably stem from listening Scott and Craig losing their minds as they try to comprehend how anyone wrote...

"You don't own me! You don't own me! Nobody does! I want my respect." - Tommy Gunn
And we're back! This time looking at the 90s action films of Sylvester Stallone. Scott and Craig kick off season 2 (Kyle is on one of his top secret CIA missions so can't join us this season) with an in-depth look at what many consider to be the worst entry in the Rocky. But is it though? Yes, it turns out it still very much is but that doesn't mean it is not fun to talk...

*Each season we will be doing a bonus episode in which we will look at a film that is in some way connected to the main season. Be it through a co-star, director or theme. In this first one we will be looking at "Rapid Fire" which was directed by "Marked for Death" director Dwight H. Little.
Over course of the episode you will hear Scott and Kyle merrily discover way more Seaglian connections than they thought this movie had in the first place and talk about how this might be one...
2021-04-211h 55All '90s Action, All The Time!'90s Seagal - The Patriot (1998)/End of Season AwardsJoin Scott, Kyle and Craig as they wrap up the epic Seagal journey and celebrate their favourite films, villains, and moments of Seagal’s 90s filmography in our season closer.
Before we get to that, though, first the trio talk about 1998’s The Patriot (not to be confused with the much more famous Mel Gibson film). A film that is notable in several ways as not only is it Seagal’s first DTV effort but it also a movie that feels weirdly relevant feature as it does a pandemic and a right-wing militia. Not that that makes it goo...
2021-04-141h 50All '90s Action, All The Time!'90s Seagal - Fire Down Below (1997)"You couldn't take out a cheeseburger from a drive-through window." - Orin Hanner Snr (Kris Kristofferson)
Hosts Scott, Kyle and Craig come towards the end of our '90s Seagal journey with 1997's "Fire Down Below." Listen as they muse about this works as a companion piece to "On Deadly Ground," have fun playing the spot the Country & Western star game and note how in this film Seagal has the closest he has ever come to a (semi) convincing romantic relationship. Also, we get into it's ludicrous (even by movie standards) portrayal of Southern "h...
2021-04-071h 36All '90s Action, All The Time!'90s Seagal - The Glimmer Man (1996)"No, motherfucker, I didn't say tomato, I said terrorists." - Detective Jim Campbell (Keenan Ivory Wayans)
Have you ever wanted a film that is 1/3 "Seven," 1/3 "Last Boy Scout" and 1/3 typical Seagal picture? Well, do we have the film for you! Listen as Scott, Kyle and Craig try to breakdown the bizarreness that is "The Glimmer Man." Over the course of the episode, we try (and fail) to apply some logic to its unwieldy convoluted plot, are amused by how bad Seagal is when a film tries to make his comedy intentional and are surprised by the fact...
2021-03-311h 54All '90s Action, All The Time!'90s Seagal - Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995)"Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups" - Marcus Penn (Everett McGill)
Join Scott, Kyle & Craig as they continue there Seagal journey with Seagal's first ever sequel "Under Siege 2: Dark Terroritory." Much like in the "Under Siege"episode we remain confused at the employment status of CIA Agent Tom Breaker (Nick Mancuso), talk about the many parallels between the two films and note how these two films are probably the most digestible for the non-Seagalogist (due to them having the least Seagal heavy focus).
Elsewhere in the episode all three concur that the film c...
2021-03-241h 41All '90s Action, All The Time!'90s Seagal - On Deadly Ground (1994)"You wanna know who he is? Try this: delve down into the deepest bowels of your soul. Try to imagine the ultimate fucking nightmare. And that won't come close to this son of a bitch when he gets pissed." - Michael Jennings (Michael Caine)
Join hosts Scott Murphy, Kyle Hintz and Craig Draheim as they (SPOILERS WARNINGS) breakdown the plot of another Seagal masterwork. And this time it is the ultimate Seagal movie "On Deadly Ground." A film that may be far from his best but is the one that most exemplifies all that is Seagal (he did...
2021-03-171h 53All '90s Action, All The Time!'90s Seagal - Under Siege (1992)"It's not a job. It's an adventure!" - Casey Ryback (Steven Seagal)
Well, folks it is that time where the pod turns its gaze on Seagal biggest commercial and critical hit the 1992 effort "Under Siege." Listen as hosts Scott Murphy and Kyle Hintz deep dive (pun entirely intended) into this one and find a more standard action narrative than normal but that does not mean we go totally without some Seaglian quirks (thank goodness!) . They also enthuse about the films great central villain pairing of Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey, are very entertained by the central...
2021-03-101h 40All '90s Action, All The Time!'90s Seagal - Hard to Kill (1990)In our debut episode hosts Scott Murphy and Kyle Hintz take a look back on 1990's "Hard to Kill". Listen as our hosts are baffled by Seagal's coma facial hair, Kelly LeBrock's overly familiar bedside manner and the world's quickest coma recovery (must be down to having a "superior attitude, superior state of mind." Plus, we get into Seagal unsuitability for on-screen romance, how he gets one of his funniest one-liners here and the disappointing lack of Sadler in this effort. Oh yeah, we also demand justice for O'Malley! Poor guy raises Mason Storm's son for seven years and...
2021-03-031h 20All '90s Action, All The Time!90s Seagal - Marked for the Death (1990)Join hosts Scott Murphy and Kyle Hintz as they continue their 90s Seagal journey with a plot breakdown of the 1990 movie "Marked for Death." In this one, Seagal single-handedly takes out the Jamaican Posse gang problem! What is that? Political incorrectness ahoy, you say! Well, you would be right, although this film is definitely 100% not racist. How do we know? Well, the movie regularly reassures it is very much not at regular intervals. Look, as Seagal enjoys reggae music and Keith David patronisingly accepts the Jamaican people. Heck, there is even a Jimmy Cliff cameo, so there!

Yes, that is right this time under the All '90s Action, All the Time! microscope it's "Out for Justice"! A film that was critically slated on release but contrary to that hosts Scott and Kyle ponder whether this might be the best Seagal to date! (Many fans cite it as their favourite, including renowned Seagalogist Vern). Also, they discuss how this film both follows the Seagal movie blueprint but also gives it a different "grittier" spin (largely down to the...
