Give Me Back My Action&Horror Movies

We wish we were covering this movie under better circumstances but unfortunately we recently lost Ray Stevenson. So Charlie and Nate decided to honor him the best way they knew how and make a bonus episode covering one of the most over the top ultra violent comic book movies to date.... Punisher: War Zone.

The guys dig into what makes this version of the Punisher stand out amongst all the others and why after all these years they both still come back to this one time and time again. We are all saddened by Rays passing but take comfort in the legacy he left on film, so please enjoy our episode of Punisher: War Zone!!!

What does Nate getting a haircut, the Fan Favorite from Ink Master season 12 & 14, and a movie that was already covered in the first year of the podcast all have in common?

Well that's the exact circumstances that led to the guys covering 'Con Air' as an extra special bonus episode this week! Charlie and Nate are joined by none other than artist/tattoo extraordinaire Creepy Jason himself in this non stop action thrill ride. Tune in to find out how this unholy trinity of Nic Cage fans came to be and listen along as all of them gush about this movie (good and bad) and just revel in the gloriousness of 90s action movie excessiveness. Huge shout out to our Death Metal brother Mike at VHS for being the catalyst for this Bonus Episode!!!

*Spoiler Alert*!!! This description and episode will spoil the movie if you haven't seen it!....you've been warned!

One Cut of the Dead
Pete's third selection of the take-over month was a bit of a bait and switch. While not necessarily a "horror movie" it is a movie about making a horror movie. "One Cut of the Dead" is a delightful and hilarious independent film from Japan. Made for about $25,000, the film went on to make over $25 million globally. The highlight of the film is the 37 minute one-shot to open the movie and while the second act was a slog to get through, the final payoff is magical. The biggest surprise of this episode is Nate's M. Night Shyamalan twist at the end. One Cut of the Dead is a HUGE recommend from Pete but what do the guys think about it?

We did it!!! We have finally arrived at our 100th episode of the podcast (not counting interviews). With so many great movies still to cover there is only one that could be our 100th movie....Demolition Man!!!!! A movie so great even Pete was excited to cover it along side myself and Nate as dove head first into pure action movie greatness. We talk about the many similarities of now versus then and how close the filmmakers were with getting scary accurate about what the future may hold.

This episode turned into what we've decided to call our Giant Sized Episode with it being on the longer side, but fret not! We just couldn't help ourselves cramming a ton of content into the 100th and we even end the episode with an interview we guarantee no one will want to miss!!!

This week begins our month of Neon as designed by our very own Nate. Every movie will have a very distinct color palette that sets it apart from the run of the mill movie experience. Our first selection is Psycho Goreman, a movie that.....******static******

"Pathetic humans using airwaves to spread my message of death and destruction. Foolish cowards that believe they tell my tale. Their feeble brains can only hold a fraction of the doom I bring. The torment I bring will be considered a gift compared to listening to this feeble rodent podcast. I will sit upon my mighty throne and vanquish any whoever recommend this show to me again."
