Ep8 - Mortal Kombat (2021) with DeeBeeGeek

The Action Addicts

03/07/22 • 62 min

In today's Action Addicts episode, I have YouTube sensation and partnered Twitch streamer "DeeBeeGeek" AKA Brendan joining me to have a nice fireside chat about the 2021 incarnation of Mortal Kombat. We look at the franchise as a whole, where it's going, what it could become, MCU comparisons and a decent dose of gaming knowledge. This is a little bit different from a normal episode, it's less focused and also the first time where both hosts aren't fans of the film being discussed.

Ep58 - Karate Kill (2016) with Matthew Essary

The Action Addicts

04/05/24 • 81 min

In this episode, we dive into the world of Karate Kill, a martial arts soaked revenge tale with strong grindhouse vibes. The film follows Kenji, a mysterious loner and Karate master, whose little sister goes missing in Los Angeles. Determined to find her, Kenji embarks on a relentless quest, facing off against anyone who stands in his way.

Karate Kill offers plenty of action, colourful characters, and wild bloodshed. We explore the film's unique blend of martial arts and exploitation elements, discussing its impact on the genre and its reception among audiences. Join us as we dissect the thrilling fight sequences, delve into the film's themes, and analyse the performances of the cast.

Joining me today is the wandering ronin himself, Matthew Essary, a fellow connoisseur of the sleazier action movie.
