Blade - A Retrospective

Blade - A Retrospective

What's up Know-It-All's! In 1998 Marvel Comics, in conjunction with New Line Cinema, released a film that gave hope to the idea that comic book movies could be a reality. Blade, starring Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff and Kris Kristofferson, hit theaters and was a worldwide success. Two years later we had the X-Men franchise, followed by the Spider-Man films and the rest is history. Today I look back at this hit film to see what made it a hit. Listen and enjoy!

Look, there was a time when comic book films were downright horrible and this offering from 1997 is no exception.....but it’s fun to trash it! Shaq is an amazing personality but he is no action star and Judd Nelson........words fail me.

Top Secret!

Spoof films are great but this 1984 classic is my all time favorite. Written by the guys that gave you Airplane! and The Naked Gun films, it stars Val Kilmer as an Elvis type hero trapped in 1980’s East Germany along with the French Resistance.....wait ....what??

Black Belt Theater - Who Am I?

It’s no secret I love Jackie Chan and this week I discuss one of his great films, 1998’s ‘Who Am I?’. In the classic JC style this film is light on plot but heavy on the action and comedy.

Born On The 4th Of July

This episode is a special one as I look back on this 1989 Oliver Stone film that I saw at a pivotal time in my life. Based on the life of Ron Kovic, after watching this movie it could change what you believe in.

Why has it taken me so long to podcast about Chuck Norris?? He was the first martial artist and action star I remember watching and this 1983 film is by far my favorite. Not only does David Carradine make a great villain but this film marks the start of “Bearded Chuck Norris”!

Riverdale season 3 recap

Riverdale season 3 recap

This season has been the craziest by far but that’s why we love it!! I’m once again joined by my daughter Diana as we journey back into the fair hamlet of Riverdale. Is Jughead really “a weirdo”? Is Betty going to become a serial killer? Is Reggie this seasons breakout star? More importantly is Swangs a legit ship and can John Cena ever unsee what he saw???? Ahhhh Riverdale, how we love thee so!!

This film is the definition of “so bad it’s good” and I’ve been waiting to discuss it for some time now. Can gymnastics and martial arts combine for box office gold? No, but it makes for god awful fun!
