Hardcasters

'Tis the night where ghouls and gremlins creep from the shadows to bewitch us and so, of course, DePlume and Visage start ranking leading men's butts.

Also, we finally cast our eyes decaying eyes over the horror-buster masterwork that is Van Helsing, talk about the slightly disturbing toy line and pitch the sequel that never happened (though fingers crossed the powers that be are listening as that bitch writes itself).

Have very happy, horror-filled and hard ween everyone!

The Hardcasters turn their spotlight on a grossly undermentioned action drama with a cast that that includes, Gene Hackman, Time Thomerson, Fred Ward and Reb Brown! Oh - and a little-known dude called Patrick Swayze? It's an absolute banger!

Ready? FIGHT. There is a Streetfighter movie round corner and what better way to whet those appetites then revisiting the Van Damme monstrosity and imagining a world where Ken Russell made a Streetfighter movie.

Correct, there is no better way.

Coming off T2 the peak collaboration twixt Cameron and Schwarzenegger, comes this surprisingly weird comedy/spy flick that's broad in humour, precise in action and liberal with physics. When all is said and done it's really Jamie-Lee Curtis' movie.

We also pitch our usual nonsense.

Highlander 2 may be an absolute circus fire regardless of which version you watch but there is much to love.

Some to love.

A couple of bits.

Hear us out...

If you go looking for classic Schwarzenegger in this weirdly low-key romp you might get no satisfaction, yet there is plenty of joy sprinkled in to it's stodgy body.

It's like whoever baked this cake might have been a bit tipsy.

Out of the sky, our rockets ignite, we jet into battle it's the... Hardcasters...

That got away from me a bit there - but we're back for season 3 and we are blasting off with an out of genre selection but a banger all the same - Flash Gordon!

Christmas time, mistletoe and Lethal Weapon. That's right, we finally get to THE buddy cop movie of the 80s! Plus we pitch our own festive buddy cop blow out: Hot Craps!

Warning - we talk about suicide quite a fair bit.

Indulge two middle-aged children of the 80s (more than usual) as snuggle ourselves in the warm blanket of nostalgia that is G.I.Joe. We loved the G.I.Joe toyline (Action Force if you're nasty) and whatever critical merit this movie does or does not have is second to its uncanny ability to mimic the joy of smashing plastic together as kids. We felt this context would bring you a little closer to us, perhaps help you feel like you know us a little more. After all; knowing is almost 50% of the struggle.

What? ANOTHER halloween special? In November? Well it would be scary if your were expecting it. What is contained within this shocker? That would be telling...

It's Chuck Norris vs Slasher movie Silent Rage. It's not great.
