June 11, 2018 02:28 - 2 hours - 110 MB

April 08, 2018 15:02 - 2 hours - 116 MB

Tom saw this movie opening day back in 1993, hated it, and hasn't seen it since. Joe is pretty much in the same boat. Time to revisit Arnold's first big misfire during his solid gold run he began in the late 80's. Also find out if Joe can guess our mystery movie for the next show, Special thanks, and don't forget to check out our friend big_mike_mike at Facebook and twitch to watch him play the myriad of Last Action Hero video games.

March 05, 2018 01:02 - 1 hour - 103 MB

Chuck Norris is back on the podcast and this time he's supposed to be funny? Yeah I'm sure you can guess how that works out. Louis Gossett "don't call me Junior" joins in the "fun".

At long last, "The Hammer" makes his debut on the podcast! We check out the almost unheard of Blaxploitation actioner from 1996, Original Gangstas. Basically, this is the low rent version of the Expendables, fifteen years earlier...and this isn't a bad thing. We have a bunch of recently seen as well. Don't be a sucka and miss this one, or it could be WIPE TIME.

#34 – The Ice Pirates

January 21, 2018 16:56 - 1 hour - 107 MB

Ice Pirates...at least the poster is cool. A few questions: what is this movie about? Is it supposed to be funny? We here at the Man's Man Film Review are stumped. If you can answer these questions, please let us know! Also, a third installment of Joe's shit stories, and Tom adds one of his own. Don't miss it!

#33 – Rocky V

January 04, 2018 04:52 - 1 hour - 91.8 MB

November 12, 2017 00:28 - 2 hours - 111 MB

Tom and Joe are back with another lost 80's film, The New Kids (on the block).

#29 - Pumpkinhead

October 26, 2017 03:26 - 2 hours - 110 MB

#24 - The Taking of Beverly Hills

August 12, 2017 02:51 - 1 hour - 103 MB

May 21, 2017 21:00 - 2 hours - 111 MB

The boys are back with the "classic" Karate Kid ripoff, No Retreat No Surrender! Takeaways from this one: Van Damme is "THE BEST", Bruce Lee's ghost is badly dubbed, and very abusive, and most importantly...fighting is ALWAYS the answer.

Make sure you listen to this show, or we will send Scotty over to your house to clean out your fridge. You've been warned!

May 06, 2017 03:38 - 1 hour - 92.6 MB

By Tom's popular demand, Bronson is back! We are skipping right to Death Wish 3, one of the most over the top action films of the 80's (think of the ground that covers!)

A very special "Round Table Roundhouse Road House Review". Tom and Joe are joined by Road House super fans, Steve and Kelly.

#14 - The Perfect Weapon

February 09, 2017 04:13 - 1 hour - 93.8 MB

Jeff Speakman is The Perfect Weapon. Just try him. Apparently no one did, because this was his one and only big studio movie. Tom and Joe break it down, and also discuss their personal choices for worst movie posters of the 1980's!

#13 - Dead Heat

January 26, 2017 04:48 - 1 hour - 86.5 MB

We begin our second year with the stench of death. Dead Heat is easily the best "cops die and come back as zombies to solve the case starring Treat Williams and Joe Piscopo ever made". We dare you to disagree. A movie that stalled one career (Williams) and pretty much ended another (Piscopo). So what do we think of it? Download this one and find out!

#11 - I Come in Peace

December 08, 2016 13:30 - 2 hours - 117 MB

Things to learn from this overstuffed episode: Bad Santa 2 is really bad, Dolph Lundgren is awesome, especially when fighting space aliens, laserdiscs were great, if you can get past the ridiculous prices and flipping discs three times during Star Wars. In addition, our top five is the movies we have purchased on way too many formats. This one is painful! And for the first time ever, the Al Leong one star bump up comes into effect as we review I Come In Peace, the criminally underrated Dolph ...

#10 - The Pit

November 23, 2016 05:55 - 2 hours - 111 MB

A VERY SPECIAL EPISODE. We review the 1981 Beaver Dam, Wisconsin filmed classic, The Pit! For the first time ever, we are joined by a guest, good friend, Mike Neumeier.

#9 - Sudden Death

November 10, 2016 06:31 - 1 hour - 103 MB

Tom and Joe are back with their first Van Damme review, in perhaps his last good starring vehicle? We have both seen Doctor Strange and offer up our thoughts. A brand new top five as well, sequels that are better then the original. Don't miss it!

Dangerous Men Live!

October 30, 2016 23:26 - 1 hour - 86.5 MB

This movie took nearly thirty years to make, and it still doesn't make any sense. Not only is Tom subjecting Joe to this, he has also recruited Shea, a good friend from high school. This one has it all: awful fights, unwanted nudity, cops talking into a telephone while reading a script on their desk, and a naked dude roaming the desert for hours. Join in the fun!
