The Film Class Zeros are wandering into town with a guitar case filled with… Movies? This episode’s subject is Desperado, the 1995 action hit by Robert Rodriguez. It’s a flick with lots going on: Big, bombastic shoot-outs, Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek trying to out sexy each other, and Danny Trejo being the baddest dude in a whole town of bad dudes.

Take a dive with us into this episode where we talk about this underappreciated Wes Anderson classic about a past-his-prime adventurer on a mission of revenge. Beware, for beneath the sea lies many mysteries, as well as terrible celebrity impressions. Bring your dynamite and wool cap along for this one, it’s going to be a wild ride!

We revisit this trope-tastic mid-eighties Stallone-powered shoot-em-up and try to decide if it’s an earnest attempt at a serious crime drama or an action film parody. Either way, we get Shao Kahn and Sledgehammer in the same movie! Melons get wrecked, matches get chewed, and Sgt. Gonzalez isn’t real.

Boogie-woogie! We take a look at the 1992 Whoopi Goldberg comedy about a Reno lounge singer placed in witness protection amongst a convent of nuns who can’t sing. Together, they use the power of music to clean up the town and defeat Harvey Keitel. It’s a flick that gets by on charm and toe-tappin’ nun jams. Slip into a hand-me-down purple mink robe and join us!

We take a flying leap into Jackie Chan’s action-packed flick about a typical day in the Bronx: diamond heists, beer bottle baseball and hovercraft chases. We talk about skewed New York City movie geography, the value of practical stunt work, and get BMX bikes confused with motocross motorcycles. Rich gets a 25 year old bee out of his bonnet. See you in the Bronx!

Creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky, but enough about Alex and Rich, let’s talk about The Addams Family! In this episode, we chat about how the magnificently macabre family of oddballs made us feel right at home. Come for the laughs, stay for the Mamushka!

Film Class Zeros shadow-kicks things off with Mortal Kombat, the first film adaptation of the legendary arcade fighting game. What it lacks in cartoon-y dismemberment, it makes up for in memorable lines, particularly by Long Island’s own Christopher Lambert (look it up). Get over here… and listen to this episode!
