They go over the 90s action tropes, what their death scream would be, how an occupation can make a whole movie plot, how a certain marine character doesn’t do a whole lot of marine-ing, the weird knife fighting, Steven Seagal’s questionable running technique, bad movie posters, music plagiarism and homages from other movies, how Steven was shaken down by the mob, why Steven Seagul is a real life scum bag, along with so much more!

Matt and Brian take another stroll down memory lane by talking about Last Action Hero starring Arnold Schwarzenegger! They go over the lack luster block buster performance, how long and fast the hate train was for this movie, how Terminator: Genysis has great tension even when the plot is incredibly confusing, the director's thoughts going up against Jurassic Park, why "we" keep allowing Rob Zombie to make movies, the deeper messages voiced within Last Action Hero, why this movie is a bit too clever for it's own good, the weird Arnold movies after Last Action Hero, along with a lot of other ground that this movie covers!

This week Matt and Brian discuss the highly influential and controversial book and movie Battle Royale, a story that inspired the The Hunger Games and video games such as Player Unknown's Battleground and Fortnite. They discuss how Battle Royale became well known in the United States before it's wide release on home media, the attempted and successful bans of the movie and book, what happens when the Streisand Effect begins to take hold, why the MPAA hated this movie, why the director was inspired to helm the movie, the confusing message the movie states, Stephen King's influence, and so much more!

Cheers to Rex Manning! 

The Post Credits duo induce a migraine while having some laughs discussing the "so bad it's good" Lethal Weapon ripoff, The Samurai Cop. Matt and Brian talk the movie's rise to cult status, the horrible stunts and editing, Robert Z'Dars top billing, the legendary background of the movie, why watching a trash bag of a movie is better with friends than watching it alone, Matt's realization about horrible movies, the real life art heist involving the Samurai Cop himself and so much more! 

The newest James Gunn gift to movie making is the discussion on this episode of the Post Credits Podcast! That's right! Matt and Brian are talking about The Suicide Squad, and it's all smiles! They talk about their love of the visuals and humor, the nonstop action, why people like Gunn should be give free reign and my Zack Snyder deserves to be put on a creative leash, the copy and paste characters through out comic books, their dislike of a past Suicide Squad cast member, why Matt doesn't like completely trashing new movies but will tear apart an old one, what other franchises they would like to see James Gunn tackle, and so much more!

The Post Credits Podcast finally completes the Tommy Jarvis trilogy! Matt and Brian, joined by return guest and Friday The 13th encyclopedia Blake Kleiner talk about Friday The 13h Part 5: A New Beginning! They all go over why this is one of their least favorite Fridays, the overall "meanness" of this entry, the non stop carnage and kills with characters that no one cares about, the paper thin revenge plot, the soulless eyes of John Shepherd, our favorite kills(if there are any), the director's sleaziness, and if fans of the Saw movies will be talking about their favorite franchise as much as this podcast talks about the Friday franchise.

The Post Credits Podcast is celebrating the 25th anniversary of a horror classic! Matt and Brian along with John and Jamie from the Horror Dads podcast are talking about Scream! They reminisce about what it was like seeing this movie in the theaters, how it turned horror on its side while bringing the genre into the mainstream, the awful movie poster trend that outstayed its welcome, its quotable nature, spotting a liar in the wild, the grueling aspect of shooting scene 118, everyone's favorite kills, Skeet's real name and if he was mad when a new vernacular came around along with so much more! Long live Scream! 

Six String Samurai, a movie about samurai sword wielding rock-and-rollers fighting over who will be the new king of Lost Vegas, is discussed in this week's episode! Sounds awesome, right? Don't get too excited! Matt and Brian learn that not all camp is good and what it truly means for a movie to have a cult following, and apologies are given. They also talk about the weirdness of a post apocalyptic wasteland, the non stop rockabilly music, the repetitive story elements, and for some reason they talk about all The Crow iterations. 

The Return of Swamp Thing is covered in this episode of The Post Credits Podcast! Matt and Brian talk about the camp and silliness but entertaining entry in the DC Cinematic Universe, the director's resume in and out of the porn industry, the greatness of Alan Moore's run in the comics, the special effects(of course), novel adaptations of movies, how Matt became a big fan of Swamp Thing even though DC shows no love for the character, how fire stunts are dangerous and the stuntmen that want to do it, the weird stuff that people are into, and the real life badassery of Louis Jourdan.
