Day of the Warrior (1996) is the penultimate entry in the Andy Sidaris-verse. It’s not exactly clear what’s going on, but there’s a bad dude (Marcus Alexander Bagwell) doing bad things and the L.E.T.H.A.L. ladies agency or whatever is out to stop them. Rock hard 90s hooters ensue.

BMFcast523 – Shark Night 3D – Shark Day For Night
Shark Night 3D (2011) wasn’t screened in 3D but you can still tell it was in 3D so that’s fun. As for the rest of it… ehhh… there’s a plot twist that takes this in a direction none of us were expecting. What starts as the simple tale of college kids being eaten by a shark living in a Louisiana lake ends up in a wildly different place, and our opinions vary wildly as well.

Hooper (1978) is how we’ve chosen to pay tribute to the late Burt Reynolds, and as it turns out, it might be the Burt-iest movie ever made. Burt’s a stuntman and his friends are stuntmen and they do stunts and tell jokes and then the movie’s over. It’s great!
