What if Dolph Lundgren played an Indiana Jones-esque adventurer who was tasked with finding mystical artifacts, went to exotic locales, and battled rival treasure hunting crews?  Enter Ronson in his first (and only) adventure, Diamond Dogs!  In this overly ambitious production, Dolph plays Xander Ronson -- a mercenary languishing in Mongolia who's hired as protection by a team of American explorers who are on the hunt for an ancient (and cursed!) Buddhist artitfact!  It was a promising project and character for Dolph to be a part of with the possibility of a potential franchise (a sequel was already in the works...).  But...  when the resources aren't exactly there, and the entire production is stripped and simplified to suit the film's dwindling budget, you get what is seen in Diamond Dogs...  All Outta Bubblegum's Brenton Haysom joins the show once again to help discuss the film and what could have been. Could this be one of the best characters Dolph has ever had the opportunity to play?  In what ways is the production hampered by the miniscule budget?  How does the film's use of shaky cam work to its benefit (and detriment)?  And is this film the best example of what Indiana Jones would look like if he existed in the real world?  Join us as Brenton and I accompany Ronson on the adventure that is Diamond Dogs!

Stay tuned at the end of the episode for friend of the show, Tom Jolliffe's opinions and insight on the film!  Special thanks to Brenton Haysom for once again coming back!  As always, check out his Youtube channel, All Outta Bubblegum featuring video essays, kill counts, and yearly retrospectives: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSFiprJ15rGr4KyE4kzGHbA
