True Lies is the quintessential 90s action movie. Equal parts comedy and high-stakes stunts, James Cameron teams up once again with Arnold Schwarzenegger and composer Brad Fiedel to deliver thrills and chills as Harry Tasker tries to keep his espionage career secret from frustrated spouse Helen, played to the hilt in a Golden Globe winning performance from Jamie Lee Curtis. But since it takes two to tange, we're joined by guest filmmaker Alex Sosin ("The Canyon") to revisit this explosive tale of husbands, wives, and double lives.

It's time to start running! Cheesy, gratuitous, and satirically biting, The Running Man showcases everything that makes 80s movies great, and why no one can anchor a film and deliver one, two, and three-liners like Arnold Schwarzenegger. We're joined by a full panel to stalk this classic including comedian Rich Baker (@ricbakercoaching), filmmaker Alex Sosin ("The Canyon"), and podcaster Jala Prendes (Jala-Chan's Place, Duckfeed.tv's The Level). We pack in everything, so we hope you left enough room for our fist.

Get your ass to Mars! We're having total recall over Total Recall, one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's best films.

Dick that is relentlessly entertaining, funny, exciting, and over the top from the first frame to the last. Come do your best Arnold "nnyyaaarrrrgggh!" along with us for the memory of a lifetime.

Listen to this episode! Come on! Do it! Do it now! Guest Jala Prendes (host of Jala-Chan' Place, Monster, Dear Monster, and Duckfeed.tv's The Level) joins us to once again watch Arnold Schwarzenegger go mano-a-mano, this time against an alien killing machine on safari. For all its loud 80s action, the film's less-is-more approach is why this classic still gives viewers a mighty handshake nearly four decades on.
