In which I question whether my boy Tiger is in fact cooked. Baaghi 4 is in fact that bad

This episode's a girthy one. Just like how I discovered midway through the heat David Bowie was packing in LABYRINTH. Enjoy!

Sunday is for….me and da boys talking about one of the year’s best surprises and hearing a classic Mike rant. Check it out!!

The fine gents at @a4epodcast.bsky.social were kind enough to have me on to share my love for the new #Deathstalker movie! Check us out & don’t miss my @cinapse.bsky.social review of the film as well. cinapse.co/2025/09/fant...

Also includes a short discusion on Content Ratings that is equally illuminating. No @vycevictus.bsky.social or Liam this week, but don't let that get you down. Instead, enjoy a new 80's power ballad courtesy of Slash that came alongside DEATHSTALKER! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfO9...

NEW EPISODE! @hibachijustice.bsky.social & Producer @odstspartan.bsky.social are joined by @andrewmgorham.bsky.social & @edtravis.bsky.social to hype up the new DEATHSTALKER! Mike gets the chance to rant about PLAYDATE, while pondering his Tiger Shroff stocks. creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

Yeah, I loved that! I really want to just become Kostanski's best friend and help him make monsters!

Ever wonder what Conan directed by Sam Raimi would look like? Especially if it featured amazing practical effects and starred one of the foremost ass-kickers in the business? Then Steven Kostanski made just the flick for you. This thing was engineered in a lab for me to love it. Fucking fantastic!

Any day you get to talk to JTro @jasontrost.bsky.social is a good day!

Massive H/T to @fthismovie.bsky.social for coining the phrase Hopkins Bump. He was quite delighted to hear about it

den of thieves is dirtbag heat and the channel is dirtbag den of thieves. all are essential cinema.

There's greats, there's legends, and then there's fucking L-E-G-E-N-D-S. Felt like meeting actual royalty

Tomorrow

So this just happened

Talking to @jasontrost.bsky.social was such an absolute joy. A true DIY filmmaker who does it for three love and his way. It's a great listen for all aspiring filmmakers

Meeting Koichi was an absolute dream come true. You know i had to ask him about Seiji Takaiwa

There really isn’t any other way to say it. The Pyun cut of Captain America was beyond special.

I agree w/ everything Mike says here about Albert Pyun’s original “pre-studio meddling/no this isn’t that *director’s cut*” version of “Captain America” (1990). It’s a legitimately good movie & if more could see it, the film would be held up as one of Pyun’s best. Hopefully it gets a real release

So many cool people at Big Bad this year but by far the biggest rock star appearance was by @priscillapage.bsky.social. Legit crowds of people waiting to meet her. We love to see it ❤️👊 And yes she is that cool folks

The resident A4E Pyun expert here. Albert's version of Captain America is a director's cut on par with Kingdom of Heaven. A studio hatchet job gets transformed into a melancholic meditation about the worst case of PTSD ever. Absolutely beautiful

If you see this, post a bad woman you love

Ghost Killer is the kind of action movie that makes you feel like you've just seen action god. Just fucking phenomenal in every way

Important Content: Recent photo of Jet Li with his daughters, Jada and Jane, at Jada’s university graduation last month. It’s nice to see the 🐐looking happy and well.

Rare is the treat that I get to podcast separately with the others from the pod. Rarer is it still that it's on genres outside of action. Getting to chat with @hibachijustice.bsky.social and gushing over all of the Evil Dead media, it's history, and our love of it was a true delight. Enjoy friends!

@vycevictus.bsky.social returns from Spain to relate his wartime experiences within the series. Liam opens up on his career within the Predator franchise with Micho, while also praising BALLERINA. @odstspartan.bsky.social takes a moment to get sappy & thank Liam for being his "Speilberg".

NEW EPISODE! The Boys are finally once again all under one roof to celebrate a new gospel under the Church of Predator! They are joined by PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS writer @michorutare.bsky.social to talk his career at The Asylum and his work on the new film! creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

Y'all know I'll talk my boy Raimi anytime, anyplace, but it was especially fun with these two fine lads

Absolutely back on my bullshit for tomorrow's episode

@patrickbromley.bsky.social red alert!!!! It's about time!

Repost w/the five shows you would be happy to rewatch over and over again for the rest of your life, as your sole TV diet. LEVERAGE FARSCAPE BUFFY/ANGEL STRIKE BACK SPORTS NIGHT

David was an absolute prince. Couldn't have been a nicer dude, and I'm stoked for all of the success he's having

I am really proud of the work I did over my 3+ years at Polygon and over a decade at Vox Media, and grateful for the people I got to do it with. I'm going to share some of my very favorites in this thread.

NEW EPISODE! The Boys (@vycevictus.bsky.social,Liam, & @odstspartan.bsky.social) welcome Liam's longtime friend, Leon Chills, to talk about his theatrical writing debut: Joe Carnahan's SHADOW FORCE! Chills details his writing career, his inspirations, & more! creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

Also I want to encourage people to listen towards the end of the episode in regards to @hibachijustice.bsky.social comments on Polygon. If you have any way of giving the good, hard working people who were let go an opportunity, please do so. They are some of our best. bsky.app/profile/a4ep...

I’m so sorry to hear this, Pete. Thank you for so many opportunities for my friends & I. You gave a lot of great people their very first checks from writing work. That is such an important & wonderful milestone that you made happen. Personally, you helped make me a much stronger writer than (1/2)

Along with just about everyone else at Polygon, I am now out of a job, ending over a decade at Vox Media for me. Working at Polygon was a wonderful experience, and I'm proud of the work we did there. I will be looking for work, as well as starting my own project(s) on the side. Stay tuned!

Fuuuuuuuck Valnet so much

The Boys (@hibachijustice.bsky.social, Liam, @vycevictus.bsky.social, @odstspartan.bsky.social) are united again as @scottmendelson.bsky.social returns for his annual predictions of the upcoming Summer Box Office season as they talk SINNERS, HAVOC, and more! creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

Havoc My homage to @vycevictus.bsky.social's reviews

Max and Polygon is a match made in heaven. Get this in your eye holes stat!

I had the privilege of interviewing Dennis Ruel in 2016 for his indie action-comedy Unlucky Stars. Dennis was a phenomenal martial artist, an outstanding stuntman and filmmaker, and a humble and kind human being. I'll miss you, brother. RIP Hapkiden. kungfukingdom.com/interview-wi...

Truly sad news. Dennis Ruel was insanely talented and did so much for independent action and filmmaking. He will be missed but thankfully his legacy will live on. Please watch Unlucky Stars, Rope-A-Dope and any one of his brilliant fights in a number of short films. RIP 😢😢

In Memoriam: Actor, Martial Artist And Director Dennis Ruel The actor and martial artist was best known as a boon to the indie action community with credits like "Contour," "Barrio Brawler," and his own feature directing debut, "Unlucky Stars".

Dennis and Jacobus were my entry into becoming an absolute fiend for indie and YouTube martial arts. He was one of the most charismatic action stars out there and those kicks. Man those kicks. Just a superstar waiting to blow up. His loss is immeasurable. He will truly be missed.

I love when we can bring some folks from our humble little community on the show. It never fails to be a great time that always recharges my batteries

NEW EPISODE! A community get together this week as @hibachijustice.bsky.social & @odstspartan.bsky.social are joined by returning guest @andrewmgorham.bsky.social, writer @cromfourwinds.bsky.social, & newcomer @echoleenumberone.bsky.social to talk REACHER S3! creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

Where Beekeeper felt like the perfect symbiosis between star, director and material, everything in Working Man felt like it was at odds with itself. I'd be curious to read the book but I can't imagine spending that much time with Chuck Dixon.

Support B. He is one the smartest writers currently working and his interviews are a breath of fresh air. He has more to offer and through his zeal he is breaking journalistic ground in the action space and beyond. Show him some love.

I can’t even tell you how fun it was for me to chat today with A4E @a4epodcast.bsky.social !!! Such an honor to be on. Thank you so much for welcoming me and letting be on this KICK ASS show🙌🏾🔥 #podcast #ActionFilm #VO #VOactor
