We do not support the views expressed within this episode. Unless we do - limited memory of what was said exists.
The best podcast in the world returns! Roger Moore seduces India with his undeniable charm. Or something like that. Not sure what the plot of this movie is.
We’re back, baby! Since we are master marketers we’ve picked everyone’s favorite James Bond movie as our first dip into the franchise. Moonraker!
Our final De Palma film (for now!). Don’t trust John Lithgow - the only lesson I’ve learned from studying de Palma.
Our final de Palma film (for now!) is 1993’s Carlito’s Way. Sean Penn is brilliant, Al Pacino is definitely not Puerto Rican and everyone loves a fun trip on a boat.
De Palma’s most infamous film. There’s still 25% of a great movie in here. Best not to speak of the rest.
Perhaps our favorite de Palma movie! Maybe we’ll record an episode when we hadn’t been drinking all day but not this day!
De Palma O Rama marches on with an early film by the great director- Sisters.
An extremely interesting film that is Hitchcock filled with 70’s social commentary.
De Palma O Rama continues with Snake Eyes! Nicolas Cage is a coked out corrupt cop helping with security at a prize fight in Atlantic City when a political assassination occurs. And there’s a hurricane.
De Palma-O-Rama!!!
We begin with 1978’s The Fury. Paranoia, Kirk Douglas and psychokinetic powers! Now that’s a movie!
Wrapping up our small John Woo run (the Woo-assaince? The Woo-revolution? John Woo’s Happy Time Family Fun Jambaroo?) with the greatest action movie ever! It’s Hard Boiled, baby! Spoiler alert: People die
We continue the John Woo-asaince! With perhaps his worst film. At least Ben Affleck made sure his character was a Red Sox fan. That solved everything!
This podcast will take your face …. off!!! Every action movie of the 80’s and 90’s was building to this moment. Thankfully Nic Cage was ready!
JCVD! John Woo! Hunting man for sport and Wilford Brimley riding a horse. Is this the greatest movie ever made? 1000% yes!
We start our celebration of John Woo with a bizarre mashup of American action movies and John Woo Hong Kong action movies. Don’t worry John Travolta is here to make everything okay!
The epic finale of our first bracket! Who will the first ever Movie Marathon Best Death?
Our very first bracket! Mike randomly selected and ranked memorable deaths/kills from all the movies we’ve done. And then they battled for best death supremacy. Here’s part one!
Just in time for November it’s Night of the Living Dead. We really dropped the ball this October. Enjoy!
A very special release since we completely failed in our podcast duties for the month of October. We recorded a few test episodes to become the podcast masters you know and love today. It’s like finding a lost Cannon film!
Friday the 13th goes to the third dimension! So naturally we spend the podcast debating Jason Voorhes workout routine. Is he a cardio guy? Cross fit? Listen and find out!
George C. Scott vs The Devil! Hope you like a bunch of old men in your horror movies because this is wall to wall septuagenarians!
We’re back! But Michael Myers is not! Can Dan Challis stop Silver Shamrock? Will he continue to abandon his kids so he can hook up with women 20 years younger than him? Will he get a 6 pack for the road? Definitely a yes to the second two!
Good news! We have a fix to make this movie less racist! Just need to convince Spielberg and Lucas to spend $100 million dollars to implement our fixes.
The Holy Grail! Sean Connery! Tapestries! Indy is back and recaptures the magic of Raiders.
Indy’s back! Unfortunately he brought 2008 special effects with him. But this movie has Harrison Ford playing Indiana Jones so it’s the 4th greatest movie ever made!
There’s only one man who can save America from being shot in the dick - Chuck Norris. Invasion USA is here and it’s a Cannon classic!
Did we record an episode on one of the extremely popular Captain America movies with millions of fans around the world? Of course not.
Does it have anything to do with the first Delta Force? Not really! Is it set in Columbia? No! Is it a Cannon Films Chuck Norris movie with a sociopathic villain? Hell yeah! Prepare your dining room table adjacent torture rooms because Scott McCoy is back!
We are back! Celebrate America with Murph, Mike and Chuck Norris! Holocaust allegories mixed with rocket equipped motorcycles? It must be a Cannon film!
Season recap of our Die Hard on a Podcast run. We rank the movies, debate the merits of each other’s rankings and discuss what we might do next.
Die Hard on a Mountain! Spoiler alert: we loved this movie!! John Lithgow with a bizarre accent! Stallone at his best! Incredible swings in stunning cinematography to mediocre sets! Is it the best movie of the season?! Listen and find out!
What if you took Stallone’s Judge Dredd but made the opposite decision every time you could? You’d have Dredd! A stunningly good movie after the failure of the first adaptation.
Pop quiz hot shot! You need to write a funny podcast summary in the next two hours but your brain is fried from watching two hours of 9-year old baseball - what do you do? What do you do? Seriously - I need some help on this one. It’s Speed! Listen to us gush over this Jan De Bont 90’s classic!
Were we brave enough to do the Anna Nicole Smith Skyscraper? We were not. So it’s Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson doing a Die Hard in a Die Hard! Murph repeatedly attempts to de-rail the podcast with stories of celebrity encounters while Mike tries to defend his love for Skyscraper.
Can you fill a movie with so many good actors it negates Stephen Seagal’s awful acting? You can definitely try! We talk Under Siege and try to figure out how it’s possible for a many without a pony tail to still look like he has a pony tail.
It’s Die Hard on a Podcast - with kids! Can bad boy Sean Astin save his friends? Will Mike cry talking about Wil Wheaton’s movie fate? Are 900 number sex lines still a viable business? Join us for answers to most of these questions! Plus discussions on the difference between C3 and C4, the bizarre tone of an R-rated movie where all the hostages are kids, and much, much more.
Die Hard on a Podcast continues with Air Force One! Is this the most ‘Dad movie’ of all time? Did Michigan beat Notre Dame? Will Gary Oldman get off Harrison Ford’s plane?
Die Hard on a Podcast continues with Executive Decision! Can nerdy Kurt Russell stop generic middle eastern terrorists? Can he finally find a date for a hockey game? Will the most obvious setups in the world payoff in the final act? Find out now!
Die Hard On a Podcast kicks off with Sudden Death! An alcoholic civil servant estranged from his wife battles a charming terrorist attempting to steal 100’s of millions of dollars. But Van Damme will see your Nakatomi Office Christmas Party and raise you Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals! Go Penguins!
We rank and discuss the Very Cannon Christmas, talk about some of our 2022 favorites and reveal the next season of Movie Marathon!
Eviiiiiiil! Can Murph and Mike stop the killer before midnight? Can Mike record an entire podcast with pantyhose on his head? Join us as we try to understand time zones and the killers increasingly inept planning!
Hide your penny collections! The martians are coming! They’re taking over your parents, your teacher, that guy your Dad works with! Cannon presents - Invaders From Mars!
What happens when you repurpose pre-production from two movies into a story you took a weekend to write? Cyborg! If nothing else Cyborg proves audiences in 1989 wanted some JCVD! Join us on this road trip to Atlanta to save humanity.
Chuck Norris! Spider-Man! Join us for the Cannon classic Missing In Action as we try to discover just how one goes about funding secret, revenge missions into foreign countries. It’s awesome, it’s laughable, it’s everything we want from a Cannon action movie!
A-list Hollywood talent meets A-list Adult Film talent in 52 Pick Up. Roy Scheider cheats on his wife only to be blackmailed by three superb character actors. A high point of quality in the Cannon catalogue!
Happy Thanksgiving! The traditional viewing of American Ninja will heal the country. Amnesia can’t stop sweet, sweet ninja skills!
Cannon Films spending some money! Just not on the script. But we get a great director, great effects and naked space vampires! And Patrick Stewart. Everything we’ve ever wanted from a movie!
