For the inaugural episode of GOIN' COMMANDO co-hosts Bryne and James tackle the inspiration for the show's name: the 1985 action thriller COMMANDO starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's the movie that cemented Arnold as a bankable action star. It has a bad plot, bad acting, a completely unbelievable antagonist and probably the most unintentionally comedic one-liners the genre has ever seen. We discuss all of that, as well as the movie's creative cursing, cursing in front of children, extreme close-ups of Arnold's wet muscles, scenes that just seemed shoehorned in to establish that Arnold was a big strong man, Bryne's confusion as to why the bad guys were driving a beaten-up Chrysler minivan, Henriques being dead tired, Sully's suits, egregious continuity errors, Cindy's fourth-wall breaking, Cooke being cooked and eaten for breakfast, brownface, Bennett's outfit and posture, the sheer insanity of the movie's kills in the last twenty minutes, James' childhood crush on Alyssa Milano, and much, much more.
