“Very good. But brick not PODCAST back.”

The gang has another Manly Movie “first” with our first flick featuring the Muscles from Brussels himself, Jean-Claude van Damme, in his first starring role: Bloodsport! In a definitely-not-true story, we marvel at JCVD’s earth-shattering splits, Forest Whitaker’s confusing presence in this film, and the longest flashback sequence in film history!

It's manly! It's a movie! It might be a Monday! Join the phenomenon that is a group of guys in their early 30s, seeking out ironically hilarious or legitimately well-made action and comedy films from the 1980s-2000s--and then poorly expressing their critical analysis! Enjoy new episodes every other Monday.
