BMFcast234 – Tough Guy Terry
Excessive Force (1993) is our movie for the week. Joining Producer, Writer and Star Thomas Ian Griffith are Lance Henriksen and James Earl Jones among others. There’s a lot of good ingredients in the mix but the finished product is excessively average.
Second half we discuss a metric tonne of movies including Under the Skin, The Raid 2, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, Spawn, Hudson Hawk and The Goonies. Plus more including listener correspondence. It’s a chalk full of stuff episode. Enjoy!

BMFcast230 – Backflipping Out
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995) is our very unofficial tribute to the idea of KaiJune that ends in a CGI nightmare of sadness. But the bad guy is the best thing about this one.
Second half we talk about some random movies including Life of Pi, Horrible Bosses, Black Swan and continue Double Dance Review with Step Up and Step Up 2: The Streets. Enjoy!

BMFcast218 – St. Robert Patrick’s Day
Double Dragon (1994) is week 3’s movie for March Dacascos. This time we get to see Mark use his martial arts ability but he is hampered by his annoying little “brother” Scott Wolf. At least Robert Patrick and Alyssa Milano are along for visual enjoyment in their unique ways.
Second half we discuss Veronica Mars (2014), Thor: The Dark World (2013), Argo (2013), The Artist (2012) and more. Plus listener correspondence. Enjoy!

BMFcast204 – Never Judge a Dojo By the Locker Room
No Retreat, No Surrender (1986) is this week’s movie. It looks like it’s going to be The Karate Kid mashed up with Rocky IV but it’s not at all. It’s the age old tale of 80s misfit youth idolizes Bruce Lee and after getting in to a few scrapes with bullies is then trained by the ghost of Bruce Lee but not so much to take on said bullies but to confront the dojo stealing mafia. Yeah, we’ve heard that story a million times. Also it’s one of JCVD’s first roles but he’s not in the movie that much.
Second half we catch up on TV talk and then take some listener emails. Enjoy!

BMFcast196 – Slade
Honor and Glory (1993) is Rocktober’s week 2 movie this time starring Cynthia Rothrock. Well that’s what it says but she’s not in it that much. Instead they hired everyone else who can also do martial arts and the best villain of all time.
Second half we talk Gravity, World War Z and Olympus Has Fallen. Then catch up on a lot of listener correspondence. Enjoy!

BMFcast74 – Helen Killer
He looks too happy to contain any fury.
Blind Fury (1989) is reviewed this episode. Rutger Hauer headlines this action comedy movie and it seems as unsure of its direction as someone who has bad direction. What? You didn’t think we’d pick on the handicapped did you? There’s enough of that in this movie for everyone.
Then second half we take listener voicemail that delves in to a regurgitation of Jackass 3(d) and talk of various cunning stunts. Enjoy.
