The Arms Race Podcast: Season 5

The Arms Race Podcast reawakens from its cryo-sleep to cover the first in our series of Sylvester Stallone movies: Demolition Man! In this episode Mike and Kevin discuss Wesley Snipes' bravura performance as Simon Phoenix, highlight the moral hypocrisies of Denis Leary, speculate about how the three seashells may or may not work, and iron out the kinks in their new library of mini-tunes (you call them segment bumpers). Simon says: take a listen!

Episode 36 - It's a Brave New World (Demolition Man)

The Arms Race podcast returns to discuss a movie as tone-deaf as its lead actor: Rhinestone! In this episode, Mike and Kevin try to refrain from becoming downbeat as they decide whether this film strikes a minor chord, utilize a measure of creativity as they pitch some alternative story lines, make overtures towards some great background actors of old, and finally recite a chorus of praise for the happiest Dolly-Parton-themed place on earth.

Episode 37 - Bland Ole Opry (Rhinestone)

We'll cop to being excited, here at the Arms Race podcast, to discuss the 1997 police drama Cop Land! On this episode, Mike and Kevin navigate their way through the movie's dense plot, try to make sense of New York jurisdictions, criticize Joey Randone's gambling strategies, and devise a new game show which dares to ask: are there any East Coast actors who haven't appeared in a Scorsese movie or in an episode of the Sopranos?

Episode 38 - Fat Blue Line (Cop Land)

The Arms Race hits the road as we take a look at the fourth in our series on Sylvester Stallone movies, Death Race 2000! In this episode Mike and Kevin examine the merits of this cult classic's satire, try their best to make sense of the death race's ever-shifting rules, witness a contest of boxing vs. kung fu, and return to their roots to discuss one of the finest puns in our podcast's history.

Episode 39 - Ride of Frankenstein (Death Race 2000)

We're headed to the Big Easy on the latest episode of the Arms Race podcast, to discuss the 2013 crime thriller Bullet to the Head! On this episode, Mike and Kevin struggle to care enough about the movie's plot to bother trying to make sense of it, wonder whether or not this buddy crime film has one buddy too many, take a look at the strange phenomenon of micro-mansions.

Episode 40 - The French Quarter Gets Shortchanged (Bullet to the Head)

It's double jeopardy on the Arms Race podcast, as we discuss two 70s Phillip Marlowe movies which happen to feature few familiar faces: Farewell My Lovely and The Long Goodbye! It's our final bonus episode before we return in 2019 for another brand new season!

Bonus - Famous Original Shamus (Farewell My Lovely / The Long Goodbye)
