We're back with a new Screen Squabbles with Sydney, part 3 of our Jean-Claude Van Damme cycle. This time it's Sudden Death from 1995.

Screen Squabbles with Sydney is back with Part 2 of our Jean-Claude Van Damme Cycle. This time it's Black Eagle from 1988. Good ol' JCVD plays a Russian villain in a cold-war inspired spy caper opposite Shô Kosugi working for Uncle Sam to be the first to retrieve important spy equipment from a downed jet in the Mediterranean.

December 30, 2020 SSwS 17-Street Fighter
We kick off a new cycle for Screen Squabbles w/ Sydney that features the (often) terrible acting of Jean-Claude Van Damme. First up is Street Fighter from 1994! Based on the wildly popular video game series, JCVD stars as Col. Guile in this campy 90s action film. They pack in a TON of classic characters, some faithful to their origin, others not. Tune in for our take on the whole thing!

December 24, 2020 Ep. 20 It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like... Paganism?
Just in time for Christmas, we talk about the many holiday traditions that have their roots so far back it wasn't even called Christmas. From decorating trees to gingerbread cookies, many of the things we do every year were a common part of Saturnalia, celebrating the Winter Solstice. These aspects of the holiday predate Christianity, with most people practicing what's commonly referred to as Paganism. Tune in to find out about the deep history of Christmas traditions!
