Suit up for 3 awesome movies from director Gareth Evans featuring the bone breaking ballet that is Silat. From the shockingly mature elegance of Mertantau to the bonkers maximalism of The Raid movies, Evans and his muse, Iko Uwais, present us with some of the most brutal and innovative fight choreography ever put on film.

Grab your boomstick! For part one of our Halloween month horror special, we are tackling Sam Raimi's seminal trilogy that helped launch him into a web slinging career in Hollywood and turned Bruce Campbell from a skinny Michigander to a masculine Cadillac of men.

Army of Darkness (1992)

In honor of Brendan Fraser  (don't call it a comeback) the boys, with guest star Adrian of the FanFreaks and Eagle & Wolf podcast, unwrap some of the classics of their youth, as well as a poorly conceived third entry. This was a fun one.
