IS THAT YOU, SANT-Y CLAUS???? Christmas in July? More like Christmas all year round, baby! That's right, Commies, we're headin' to Finland -- the land of reindeer! And also the home our movie today, Sisu! What a way to end our ARMY OF ONE theme. This is a movie about a guy that looks a lot like if Santa Claus was a navy seal and made a series of really bad choices and now he has to work his way back to the north pole. And if Santa Claus was really good at murdering Nazis with a pickaxe... you never know!

We're back, baby! Ethan is fully rested, and Andy has a new catch phrase, so Santa's favorite helpers are ready to freakin' rip, and what a movie to make their return! Today we are discussing 1985's Commando, which was indirect influence to the name of this podcast! What a life!

Welcome one and all to Watch What Happens Live! Wait, wrong show -- sorry, Andy Cohen. Let's try again.

We're doing things a little bit differently at Commando Prompt Media Corp Inc TM. Yes, we're watching Sharknado, but it's not business as usual. Since this is a silly movie, we decided to not do our usual routine of dissecting and earnest discussion, but instead watch the movie live with all of you! It's like a DVD commentary, except instead of Ben Affleck telling you why the plot of Armageddon is ridiculous, it's Ethan, Andy, and special guest Laura Willard keeping you company and talking over a truly bizarre movie.

The audio is rough, raw, and real, but we're excited to try this format out. If folks like it, we'll do it again!

**ALSO THERE ARE SOME STORY SPOILERS FOR THE NEW MOVIE LONG LEGS IN HERE THAT ETHAN DID HIS BEST TO BLEEP OUT BUT HE MIGHT HAVE MISSED SOME SO BEWARE**

This movie freakin' rocks! Our baby boy, Andy, is back in the saddle, and both Ethan and Andy have a lot to say about Snowpiercer. The boys talk shop about how much capitalism sucks, how the tech industry is being torn asunder, class structure, and our dying planet. Strap the hell in, folks.

Buckle up and burn one down because daddy Snake Plissken is comin' to town! We got a great episode today for you, folks. Ethan's son, Andy Hollinger, couldn't make it on to this episode because he's busy being cool as hell, but that's okay because Ethan's grandson, Andrew Weigel, is filling in. The boys are back in town and they got a whole heck of a lot to say about this absolute barn burner of a film.

We are here to ride the freakin' wave, folks, and here to help us do that is Cameron Kunzelman. Cameron is an academic, critic, and co-founder of podcasting network Ranged Touch. He also has a PhD! Our first doctor on the show! We get to talk to Cameron all about why he gave State of Decay 2 a 6.3 / 10, his thoughts on nu metal, and more. Oh, we also talk about 2015's The Wave... probably should've mentioned that at the top.

**ALSO IF TORNADOES ARE YOUR THING THIS EPISODE IS HOT AS HELL SO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS**

Hooooooooooooooooo, daddddyyy!!! Do we got a show for you today our fellow Prompters (giving this name a try for our fanbase, does it work?). Do you find yourself gettin' hot and bothered when you turn on the weather station? When a strong breeze picks up, does a small quiver run through your body? Have you replaced candles and massage oils for air parcels and cold fronts? If you answered yes to all three (and why wouldn't you), then you're gonna love 1996's Twister, a movie that is ostensibly a disaster romp, but is stealthily the sexiest movie of the 90s. You're gonna need an ice pack for this one!

*FULL STORY SPOILERS THROUGHOUT AND AT SOME POINT ANDY SPOILS A PART OF THE MOVIE POSSESSOR BUT ETHAN FORGOT TO CHECK THE TIME CODE AND DOESN'T WANT TO DO IT NOW*

The boys are back in town, baby! It feels quaint not to have a guest on this one, but that's okay because it gives our two hosts some time to reconnect and remember why they love each other, which is what the show is all about. This week, Andy and Ethan are talkin' 2018's turbo death metal epic, Mandy, a movie that is both visually striking and has some amazing music. Ethan is a little torn on whether or not he likes it, and Andy straight up loves the movie. Their first fight! You won't want to miss this!
