Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay decide to let off some steam and talk about a classic that epitomized '80s action, 'Commando.' Bombay starts it off by recalling how his parents introduced him to adult movies when he was 7 years old by renting this banger.
Then the boys talk about multiple ludicrous elements of this film that was seemingly only made as a way to showcase Arnold Schwarzenegger's bulging body. Naturally, his John Matrix is matched up against Vernon Wells' chainmail vest-wearing Bennett, who is more obsessed with Arnie than director Mark Lester. The movie is loaded with iconic one-liners, and wildly illogical decision making. After jumping out of a plane, Schwarzenegger teams up with the adorable Rae Dawn Chong, who coincidentally happens to be getting her pilot's license. After taking out about 40 security guards/mall cops, Schwarzenegger flies out to Val Verde to face off against Dan Hedaya — who was inexplicably cast as a Central American dictator — and his army of goons. In order to save his daughter, Matrix must kill every last one of them, and in the most brutal ways possible. Will you have a bad time listening to this gonzo episode? No chance!
