THIS WEEK: Taffin (1988), Fatal Deviation (1998), Moving Target (2000)
We're celebrating Jack's return from his homeland with some hard-hitting martial arts-ish action straight from the Emerald Isle. Does Ireland's version of Road House hold up? Is Pierce Brosnan the most beautiful man in the world? Can a half dozen Irish farm boys make a convincing Jean-Claude Van Damme tribute film? All will be revealed.

THIS WEEK: Faces of Death (1978), Faces of Death II (1981), Faces of Death III (1985), Faces of Death IV (1990) and Faces of Death (2026)
Here's something that no one asked for! Left to their own devices for one week, Steve and Miros voluntarily dove into the endless slog of banned clip compilations that make up Faces of Death. Let the record show, wasting our time on this dreck makes far more sense than pitching a "reboot" of the Faces of Death "franchise," which is not a thing that really exists.

THIS WEEK: Out of Time (1988), Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death (1989) and Pizza Man (1991)
Imagine a world without the insufferable intrusions of Club Random on your various social feeds. Imagine a world where douchebag pundit supreme Bill Maher had landed a gig as a harmless sitcom dad. We dare to imagine such a world. A world where hope is still alive.

THIS WEEK: The Long Walk (2025) and The Running Man (2025)
Do you remember Vietnam? Stephen King certainly does, and this week we're looking at two very faithful, very listless adaptations of his particular brand of social commentary.
