#168 - Classic Rerun: Better Living Through Chemistry
August 23, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 50.8 MBHey pals, summer got so busy we had to take a few weeks off. BUT, we are not leaving you without an amazing episode. This time we are going deep into the archives, all the way back to episode number 60 to reminisce over a fantastic episode of Miami Vice. Back in 2017 we reviewed Better Living Through Chemistry and after 4 years it feels good to look at it again. So enjoy this rerun episode of your Go With The Heat Podcast. We will be back in two weeks with K-9 and the greatest partner...
#167 - Tough and Deadly
August 08, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 55.7 MBTo say we had low expectations of this movie is an understatement. However, we saw the cast, movie poster, the trailer, and we were sold! You know we love Billy Blanks and as children of the 80s we adore Roddy Piper. Combine those two super powers together, there was no way we wouldn't stop to watch this one. Although it is the junkiest of junk food movies, we wouldn't have it any other way. We have so much fun with this movie, too! John finds a Scooby-Doo connection for multiple gues...
#166 - John Explains: Soldier
July 26, 2021 09:00 - 28 minutes - 22 MBWe are taking a break from our standard episode to bring you a John Explains interview! We always, ALWAYS love these. There are two main reasons: 1. It gives us a chance to veer off our "season" format and discuss a movie that is just outside of our wheelhouse. 2. John brings the deep knowledge. Melissa and Dom step aside and let John get geeky with sci-fi. This John Explains does not disappoint! In this episode we learn about this movie and find out that it is also linked to Blade Runn...
#165 - Action Jackson
July 13, 2021 02:34 - 1 hour - 55.1 MBIt is well known how much we love Carl Weathers. So there was absolutely zero chance we weren't going to cover Action Jackson. One of our all-time favorite action movies that is the textbook definition of what made 80's action great. We love this movie. We also have a lot of fun in this podcast episode! We swoon over the cast, in particular that scene of Carl all greased up, and get down on more Vanity music. There's also big news! Last episode we learned about Attitude, an awesome b...
#164 - Tiger Claws
June 28, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 58.3 MBThis is one of our favorite karate movies… for all the wrong reasons. Coming off of a serious movie in our last episode, Tiger Claws is the exact opposite. It goes straight to Silly Town on the express train with no brakes. One thing is certain, many, many people didn’t know they were gonna be in the background of this movie. Between the karate, slo-mo, and Jalal attempting to do his best Sonny Crockett impersonation, there is a movie about Tarek’s tiger addiction that needs to be addressed...
#163 - Alien Nation
June 13, 2021 19:53 - 1 hour - 62 MBWe went into Alien Nation not knowing what to expect. All we knew is that our dad and everyone's dad loves this movie. And did it deliver! This was a fantastic movie (well, at least according to Dom) and hits you more in the feels than you expect. What really delivers this movie is Mandy Patinkin, but who would be surprised by that? We also have a lot of fun with it, mostly at the expense of James Caan. There's some discussion about beavers and just how the Newcomer special region compar...
#162 - Tango & Cash
May 30, 2021 21:34 - 1 hour - 55.4 MBOkay, we essentially created this seasons theme just to have an excuse to watch Tango & Cash. It is a bi-annual tradition that must never be broken! There are two paths you can go down for a good action movie. One, dark and brooding with intricate plot twists that leave you hanging on the edge of your seat. Two, take the express train straight to Silly Town. Tango & Cash bought their one-way ticket in advance to Silly Town. But that is what makes it so amazing! We spend 70 minutes GUSHI...
161 - The Unlikeliest Start to Season 3
May 17, 2021 11:00 - 44 minutes - 34 MBWell, we only took a 1, 2...7 month break. Actually, kinda can't believe it has been that long! But don't fret, we are back!!!!!! This is our season 3 planning meeting for the movies we have selected plus announcing our official theme. Not a normal episode, but you get to hear all the details on how we choose our movies and how we are planning to make the show better this season.

160 - The King of Karate Cities
October 19, 2020 04:30 - 36 minutes - 28.7 MBIts all come down to this! We’ve gone through all 8 movies in this season and are ready to crown the greatest karate city. There are many to choose from, including the entire country of France. We have a lot of fun discussing some of our favorite moments and debating the best of these four categories… – Best sidekick – Best villain – Biggest badass – Greatest karate city We would love to hear from you! Please, email us with your choices from the movies in this season. We can’t just...
160 - Miami Connection
October 05, 2020 03:07 - 1 hour - 54.9 MBThis is a once-in-a-lifetime movie. Seriously. This is as good as a karate movie gets. How do we know? Its got all the tropes. Full songs that are oddly specific to the scene? Check. Sensei beating the shit out of their own students? Check. Always doing the right thing no matter what? Just listen to the lyrics… We absolutely adore this movie and always, ALWAYS have a ton of fun when watching and now we finally get to profess our love of Miami Connection, Dragon Sound, and Jim’s Dad. T...
158 - Lone Wolf McQuade
September 21, 2020 03:20 - 1 hour - 49.2 MBWe are going to warn you up front we are not a fan of this movie. Along these lines, we say some pretty harsh things about the Chuckster and Turtle Carradine, I mean David Carradine. So if you’re gonna get your feelings hurt by us making fun of this movie, we’ll see you next week for Miami Connection. Now with that out of the way, this is a stinker and we have so much fun Dominic stopped breathing for 3 consecutive minutes after Melissa called Kung Fu man a Diplodocus. This movie is s...
157 - Angel Town
September 06, 2020 21:00 - 1 hour - 50.9 MBAfter an unexpected vacation, we’re back with a movie we have been chomping at the bit to watch. To be honest, it was everything we hoped it would be. It was like watching an action movie dubbed by Tommy Wiseau and we have zero complaints. We have a lot to love about Angel Town, including Jacque absolutely destroying fools. Its also the first movie where the main character is 100% optional. We only have one question… What happened in Hong Kong? Movie info Premiered: Feb. 23, 1990 D...
156 - Classic Rerun: Blood and Roses
August 15, 2020 03:34 - 1 hour - 54.9 MBHey pals, we had a very busy two weeks. Between our normal schedule, John on vacation, moving and then having some dental work, the next thing we knew we were out of time. So instead, we sat down and put our heads together to find a classic episode of the podcast. Something from the archives that is one of our favorites. I guess you can say we had pasta on the brain. In this classic rerun of the show we go all the way back to episode number 99, originally released in June of 2018. We ...
155 - You Should Watch It: Never Too Young To Die
August 03, 2020 04:05 - 40 minutes - 28.9 MBIn just about every episode of GWTH this season we’ve mentioned one movie. An amazing movie with John Stamos as a high schooler who suddenly learns gymkata. With John being on vacation, Melissa and Dom see this opportunity to finally discuss Never Too Young To Die. A delightfully ridiculous movie that you should definitely watch. With a great cast, an over-the-top story and oddly specific music, you absolutely need to check this episode out and then immediately go watch this movie. Th...
154 - The Last Dragon
July 17, 2020 17:18 - 1 hour - 51.6 MBHands down this is one of our favorite karate movies of all-time. Full stop. In this episode we literally swoon over this entire movie, beginning to end, and in our final thoughts our only complaint is that we can’t get more. Not only is it a great movie, but being produced by Motown means it has the most amazing movie soundtrack ever. Dominic explains his love of both Sho’nuff and Richie. Melissa has a few Laura moments over Taimak. John gives us all the details on Vanity. This is a ...
153 - You Should Watch It: C.H.U.D.
July 06, 2020 12:00 - 35 minutes - 27.8 MBWe go so much great feedback from our last “You Should Watch It”, we decided to make it a regular addition to the podcast. We love it because it allows us to venture deep into the archives and find classics that are just outside of our action wheelhouse. This episode is exactly one of those situations. We don’t normally cover scifi and we’ve NEVER done a horror movie. So, why not both? Melissa and Dominic are huge horror fans (anyone want our Shudder login?) and were right at home wit...

152 - Deadly Bet
June 22, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 47.7 MBListen, I’m going to be totally honest with you. This movie is a stinker. Jeff Wincott is not the next star, no matter what martial arts magazine says it. BUT… We have a TON of fun with this movie! Its so bad its good. And, to continue the honesty, this podcast episode is the best way to consume Deadly Bet. This is the best version. Also, its basically out of print so this might be the ONLY way to find it.Except on YouTube you amazing bastards! We love to hate this movie and it has a...

151 - You Should Watch It: Red Surf
June 08, 2020 09:00 - 27 minutes - 22.2 MBWe said the new format would give us new opportunities and we’re taking advantage of that this episode! When John mentioned that there was an action movie with a young George Clooney on jet skis, we knew there was no way we wouldn’t watch it. This episode is all about the… Honestly mediocre movie Red Surf. This isn’t a full rundown of the movie, but just our thoughts on why you should give it a shot. Short and to the point and a new format we’re testing out. We’d love to hear your fee...
150 - Bloodsport
May 25, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 62.4 MBThere was absolutely no way we were going to cover karate movies and not have a JCVD feature. If you haven’t noticed, we are HUUUUGE JCVD fans and in reality we could probably make an entire season just about his movies. The hardest part was only choosing one for this season (okay, I know we already had him in a movie, but that didn’t count). Melissa and Dom have just finished moving across the country, but that didn’t stop us from sitting down to record this one. Dom and John have to...

149 - John Explains: Mythica
May 11, 2020 11:00 - 14 minutes - 12.4 MBWe told you when we switched from Miami Vice over to the greatest action movies it also meant we could take the podcast in new directions not available previously. Well, here’s one of those experiments. John found some gold and he really wants to talk about it! While sheltering, John decided to dip his toes into the Mythica universe and soon found himself binging the entire series… In a single day. This special episode of the Go With The Heat podcast is dedicated to John’s binge and t...

148 - Bloodfist
April 27, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 59.7 MBThis movie came out of left field. None of us had ever seen it before, but we are WELL ACQUAINTED with Don “The Dragon” Wilson. So, somehow all EIGHT of these movies fell just outside our radar. You know what? We were missing an amazing movie! First things first, this movie has the **most controversial** mango in the history of mangoes. What kind of magician can peel a mango like that? And do it while running? Plus its poisoned! Between mangoes and the least flexible woman to dance on...

147 - No Retreat, No Surrender
April 13, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBAfter all the planning and hype, we’re finally here to our first movie of season 2 of the reformatted podcast. There was absolutely no way we weren’t gonna start with Seattle karate, which as you know is the best karate. Become a Patron! No Retreat, No Surrender is one of our favorite movies of ALL TIME. It follows a familiar format with a main character ready to prove to the world he in fact does kick ass and a villain that makes nearly no sense. This movie is full of so many great ...

144 - Closing Out Season One
January 20, 2020 12:00 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MBSo its come to this… A GWTH clip show. Have no fear! We’ve made a few small changes to the show, but there’s nothing to be concerned about. We’ve decided to take on a season format for the show. We decided to that so we can set themes for each season. This season was all about Joel Silver and how action movies are all connected in some way. Our next season will begin on March 22, 2020 and our theme will be announced at the start of the next season. Here are some ideas we’ve had though...

143 - Ricochet
January 06, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 69.4 MBBut, is it still a classic? Dominic has lots of questions about the books. Like, why the books? John is suspicious of the mustache. Melissa… Well, lets just say she has some STRONG words for this movie at the end.e in the top 5 and that doesn’t include his drama work. So, when we were thinking of a Denzel action movie, we had to go back to this 1991 classic. But, is it still a classic? Dominic has lots of questions about the books. Like, why the books? John is suspicious of the mousta...

142 - Die Hard 2: Die Harder
December 23, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 61.8 MBThere isn’t a more perfect Christmas movie. We will die on this hill. Not only is Die Hard a Christmas movie, but Die Hard 2 is the HARDER Christmas movie. There’s no way we could skip doing this movie since Die Hard 1 & 2 are probably the greatest action movies ever made. Since this is one of our favorite movies we have a ton of fun gushing over the absolute perfection… While also giving it the typical GWTH treatment. We can all agree on a few things: The best part about this movie i...

December 09, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 72.4 MBAfter talking all about Rocky last week, we still had a Sylvester Stallone appetite that needed to be satisfied. The only way to make it better? Add in some Wesley Snipes. That’s how you get Demolition Man! In our first scifi movie (Well, unless you count Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. Technically that’s a scifi movie too.) we give this 90’s classic the GWTH treatment. This movie really has it all. Bungee jumping out of a helicopter? Check. Futuristic weapons? Check. Virtual SE...

140 - Our Heart Belongs to Rocky
November 25, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 66.1 MBWe’ve been waiting for what feels like FOREVER to talk about Rocky. It really is a holiday franchise, of all 8 movies, 6 of them came out between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Last week with Showdown in Little Tokyo was our funniest episode ever and this week is our most serious. It doesn’t mean we don’t have a lot of fun!

139 - Showdown in Little Tokyo
November 11, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 71.1 MBWARNING: This is a VERY NSFW episode. Also, its hilarious. In case you didn’t know it, 1991 was a great year for fun movies. This movie may not be the best action movie of the decade, but it sure is a lot of fun and that’s the entire reason we love these movies. In Showdown in Little Tokyo, Kenner and Johnny have to bring down a twisted gangster bent on controlling the drug trade in Los Angeles by making… Actually a really impressive amount of meth.

This weeks movie is one of the most underrated action movies of the era and has one of the worst jigs ever danced. We learn three things from this movie: Friday night is in fact a great night for football. This is what John McClane was up to between taking down that plane in D.C. and stopping the theft at Fort Knox. Pat Boone is the quintessential old man. We have a lot of fun with this movie whil...
