BMFcast476 – Showdown – Un-Tom-Lee Death
Showdown (1993) is what happens when you take The Karate Kid and, well, make it again. Ken just started at Paradise High School but Tom hates it when Ken talks to his girl (Hey Dudes’ Christine Taylor). They fight. Then the school janitor/former Paradise Policeman Billy (Billy Blanks) teaches Ken how to fight. Everything concludes in an underground teenage fight club.
In the second half, BJ and Chuck have varying opinions on Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood (2019), and then the whole gang joins in on the Tarantino talk with specific thoughts on Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) and True Romance (1993). Also, brief opinions on Shazam (2019) and Thunderbirds (2004). Enjoy!

BMFcast473 – Uncle Sam – Chekhov’s Balls
Uncle Sam (1996) was once America’s gift to us, and now we give it back. Sam is a terrible person and a dead The Troop™ who rises from the dead to murder basically anyone. Flag burners, dope smokers, BBQ teens… no one is safe.

BMFcast472 – T-Force – Maybe It’s Valvoline
T-Force (1994) is a delightfully silly low budget action film from the masterminds at PM Entertainment, makers of Hologram Man. RoboCops are decommissioned but that goes against their survival protocol, so they rebel. Also, they learn to love… physically. Lots of other things (besides their robopassion) explode all over the screen.
In the second half there are X-Men: Dark Phoenix and San Andreas thoughts, along with an extended rant about people not shutting the hell up in theaters, and why it’s broken yet another one of us. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 117 – Last Action Hero
Last Action Hero (1993) features the can’t fail trio of screenwriter Shane Black, director John McTiernan and action star Arnold Schwarzenegger. And they blew it. To most people anyway. Looking back now on this action parody, is it really as lousy as people think?

BMFcast Extra 112 – The Crow Stairway to Heaven
The Crow: Stairway to Heaven (1998-1999) is the cable TV retelling of the Eric Draven storyline starring Mark Dacascos as the New Crow. These first two episodes are not a great start for a series and we probably won’t be watching any more of them. Probably.
