Comedians Andrew Ivimey and Diana McCallum break down and discuss superhero TV and Film every week.
This week we're talking about one of the more unique James Cameron films, we're joined by comedian and actor Foad HP to talk about True Lies. We get into the unexpected comedic restraint of Tom Arnold, Bill Paxton doing so much, the merits of bathroom fight scenes, and where you should be if a nuke goes off.
The kids are back, and the bicycles have been upgraded to a car because they are played by full adults. We're talking about Season 5 Volume 1 Episodes 1-4 of Stranger Things (rolls off the tongue). We talk about fixing the mistakes of previous seasons, characters being mean for no particular reason, second screen dialogue, shenanigans, and some key performances.
Lace up your Pumas because it's time to run again as we talk about 2025's The Running Man. We're talking about the somewhat absent style of Edgar Wright, problematic treatment, the lack of running, and the star we want more of.
Oh boy the Predator really stepped in it this time. We're talking about Predator Badlands this week and it's about video game vibes, good looking CGI, surprising totally normal accents, and is this supposed to be a buddy cop movie or just about the predator?
It's an 80's classic action movie this week, the Schwarzenegger driven The Running Man (1987). We talk about the forgettable but interesting rebellion first act, the greatest death lines, the pros and cons of Dynamo, and why Diana would actually attend The Running Man.
This week we're talking about the classic genre of Stephen King novel, a speed plus a mode of transportation, it's The Long Walk. We talk about strong performances, hollow meaning, taking a play on the road, and the best build for long walk athletic competitions.

This week we're going back into the computer. No it's not The Matrix, it's the other franchise with a digital god creator myth, it's Tron Legacy! We talk about movie length music videos, the Disney de-aging machine, who Tron is for, and MOST IMPORTANTLY do you our listener think the human characters get uploaded into the computer or do you think they shrunk down so small they're in the computer?
