Hardcasters

Road House is a perfect movie. Almost. 

This, is a perfect podcast episode. Except for long sections of juvenile laughter. And all the other reasons.

Y'know what? It's an awesome movie and we have a pretty good stab and analysing and a bloody good time coming up with our own version. let's just leave it at that shall we?

DePLume and Visage finish what they started! They round out their proposed Commando trilogy with a third entry that sees Klaus Kinski firing lightning from his hands! What are you waiting for? Get stuck in!

It was only a matter of time. In this momentous episode DePlume and Visage finally take on the action behemoth that is Commando. So important, so genre-defining is this film that it burst out of the confines of a single episode into two epic parts!

In Part 1 the two French students of justice-seeking talk about the film itself, add some new keywords to its imdb page and then pitch what could of been its sequel!

Visage and DePlume tuck into one of their all-time favourites: Who Dares Wins AKA The Final Option. This loose re-staging of the embassy siege has some wonderful action beats and is a showcase for utterly brilliant Lewis Collins. Check it out!

Finally, Visage and DePlume get to John Woo and, as is our want, we avoid his biggies and head to a less talked about, but utterly awesome, work of his. Strap in!

Piper! Banks! Toughness! Deadliness! Tough and Deadly might not have the scale or verve of our favourite action movies but it has a charm that shouldn't be ignored. Plus the keywords, pitches and all our usual nonsense. 

DePlume and Visage revisit Jaguar Lives, a martial arts movie that comes frustratingly close to greatness. What? That not enough? Well how about we pitch a Ric Flair spy movie and provide invaluable advice for those seeking justice? And all for the price of £0. If that's not a bargain I don't know what is.

Let's Rothrock and Roll with Lady Dragon! Then buckle-up as Visage and DePLume pitch not one, not two but THREE movies with the Blank Canvas trilogy. We're amazing really. And you're not so bad yourselves.

The Hardcasters LOVE Wesley Snipes and we think he owns Demolition Man. So listen to us blather on about how he steals this movie (from some stiff competition) and then pitch a film where he enters an international fighting tournament run by Noel Edmunds.

Action Jackson often gets overlooked and DePlume and Visage are not happy about it. Join us as we delve into this joyful action romp and then imagine what kind of justice Carl Weathers would bring as Mayor of a quaint seaside town.
