#168 - Classic Rerun: Better Living Through Chemistry

August 23, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 50.8 MB

Hey 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 MB

To 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 MB

We 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 MB

It 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 MB

This 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 MB

We 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 MB

Okay, 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 MB

Well, 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 MB

Its 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 MB

This 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 MB

We 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 MB

After 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 MB

Hey 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 MB

In 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 MB

Hands 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 MB

We 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 MB

Listen, 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 MB

We 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 MB

There 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...

We 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 MB

This 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 MB

After 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 MB

So 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...

But, 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?

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.

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.

WARNING: 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.

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...
