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.
In the second half we’ve got an eclectic batch of opinions on A Star is Born, Hidden Figures, Historical Roasts, 2001 A Space Odyssey, and The Iron Giant. Enjoy!

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?

BMFcast471 – Excessive Force 2 Force on Force – Handball for the Homeless
Excessive Force 2: Force on Force (1995) is an in-name only sequel to a film even we don’t remember. A former special forces lady hunts her previous commanding officer who tried putting a bullet into her brain. Some of that bullet is still there, which causes problems for her at the worst possible times.
Another truncated second half this week, but we still sneak in some further thoughts on Deadwood, Good Omens and The Lego Movie 2. Enjoy!

BMFcast470 – Driving Force – Sex Mint
Driving Force (1989) takes place during an apocalypse of some kind, but one that has only affected the tow truck industry. Sam Jones and Don Swayze play dueling tow truck drivers, and Catherine Bach plays a lady.
In the second half we’ve got some thoughts on The Lego Movie 2, and BJ revisits the BMFcast classic Action USA. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 115 – Tank
Tank (1984) is not the murder revenge fantasy it needs to be, but it’s still the tale of an Army Sergeant Major (James Garner) wrecking the state of Georgia in a tank because the local law is corrupt. Earnest, sincere and a lot of fun. Also, strangely relevant?

In the second half we’ve got thoughts on Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Booksmart, Good Omens and Deadwood: The Movie. Enjoy!

Maximum Force (1992) is the conclusion of Force May-jeure. John Saxon recruits cops Flash Gordon, Rusty Griswold and a lady to join forces and defeat the evil Richard Lynch. Mickey Rooney rides around in a limo and everything is bathed in lovely blue light.
In the second half we’ve got more Into the Spider-Verse talk, along with revisiting Marvel: Phase 1 and first time thoughts on Hot Rod (2008). Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 114 – Krull
Krull (1983) is another example from our ongoing series entitled “Don’t revisit movies you think you liked from your childhood”. What’s most frustrating is that all the pieces are in place for this to be great, and yet, it isn’t. Anyway, come listen to us explain why.
