Season 18, Episode 7 We're joining the Hong Kong police force and teaming up with a loose cannon detective and a too-deep-undercover cop to defeat the Triads in an epic shootout involving long single takes, lots of squibs, and newborn babies. This is John Woo's "Hard Boiled". We'll discuss what makes these action sequences so great and how this film can both be a staple action film, help launch Woo's US film career, and equally not get noticed by larger audiences, especially today in our (purist) action genre drought.

Season 18, Episode 6 Whoa! We're joining forces with Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz and Morgan Freeman to tackle the energy crisis only to be hunted down by Fred Ward and the US government trying to suppress it...typical. That's right, we're discussing the 1996 film Chain Reaction . We both enjoyed this film back in the day, but do we now? From a troubled production with no script and a story-line that isn't what Reeves signed up for, this film had a lot of behind the scenes issues that are evident on the screen. Should you go back and watch it, or does Chain Reaction belong stuck in the 90's?

Season 18, Episode 5 We're writing our way into a soap opera with the help of John Candy and a magic typewriter as we take a look at the 1991 film Delirious. Join us as we discuss a comedy that has some funny (often hilarious) moments, but doesn't really work. Especially when you don't clearly establish the rules in the fantasy world that they create here. (Calm down, Butler) Nevertheless, Field believes that this film has good bones and could be remade with the right talent behind it. (Which he always think is him) (Because it's true!)

Season 18, Episode 4 The Mikes are going back in time 8 minutes to help Jake Gyllenhaal stop a bomb from going off in Chicago. That's right Mike Field and Mike Butler are talking the 2011 Duncan Jones film, Source Code, also starring Vera Farmiga, Michelle Monaghan, and Jeffery Wright.
