Movie Lovers Unite

In this episode of Movie Lovers Unite, we revisit the action-packed cult classic Desperado, directed by Robert Rodriguez and starring Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek.

Nearly three decades after its release, does Desperado still hold up as one of the coolest action movies of the 90s? We break down the over-the-top action, the unforgettable guitar case full of weapons, Robert Rodriguez’s signature style, and why this film became such a beloved cult favorite.

Is Desperado still badass… or does it feel like a relic of the 90s action era?

Grab your guitar case and join us as we revisit this explosive classic.

Join John along with Jason from the It's Not That Bad Podcast as they thaw out the 1993 sci-fi action classic Demolition Man, starring Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, and Sandra Bullock.

They dive into:

• Why Wesley Snipes completely steals the movie as Simon Phoenix

• Stallone trying to survive the strangest future ever imagined

• Sandra Bullock’s hilarious obsession with the 20th century

• The predictions the movie surprisingly got right

• And of course… the mystery of the three seashells
