Tango & Cash typifies 1980s action excess and buddy-cop odd-couple comedy as Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell play the titular loose cannons with a complete disregard for police procedure and the laws of physics. We're joined by guest podcasters Josh Covel (Still Loading) and Dan Oster (A Podcast, But Evil) to settle scores and spew one-liners.

Like RoboCop himself, beneath this film's flashy exterior lies turmoil and humanity. Guests comedian Rich Baker (@richbakercoaching) and Dan Oster (MadTV, A Podcast, But Evil) join us to investigate Paul Veerhoven's dystopian satire of dehumanization, but one that still manages to kick a lot of iron butt. I'd buy that for a dollar.
