We've never seen Stallone's Cobra (1986) - Until Now!
In this episode, we take a high-octane ride into the gritty, neon-lit world of Cobra, the 1986 cult action classic starring Sylvester Stallone as the ultimate one-liner cop, Lt. Marion Cobretti. It's a film drenched in '80s excess—muscle cars, aviators, and a body count that would make Rambo blush.
We break down the film after watching it for the first time, its infamous rewrites and Stallone's transformation into a sunglasses-wearing symbol of Reagan-era justice. Plus, we ask the important questions: Who are the Night Slasher cult? Why does Cobretti cut pizza with scissors? And is this movie secretly a dystopian satire—or just totally unhinged?
Whether you’re a die-hard fan or watching Cobra for the first time, this episode is the cure for your curiosity.
