The Action Addicts episodes

  • Ep10 - Assassins (1995) with Super Marcey
    Today we talk about the 1995 film Assassins starring Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas and Julianne Moore. A film that didn't do well commercially upon its initial release but one that has amassed a fanbase over time. Once again I am here to champion an underrated classic that just doesn't seem to get the love it deserves. We are joined this week by Super Marcey of the Super Network, podcaster extraordinaire! Marceys' Twitter: https://twitter.com/supermarceyAAP Links: https://linktr.ee/actionaddicts

  • Ep9 - Copshop (2021) with Wendi Freeman

    This week on the Action Addicts podcast we are joined by Wendi Freeman to discuss the 2021 release Copshop, starring Gerard Butler, Frank Grillo, Toby Huss and Alexis Louder directed by Joe Carnahan. We talk about what we both think and in all honesty come at this from different places. We also go massively off-topic and talk about Valiant Comics for a bit.

  • Ep8 - Mortal Kombat (2021) with DeeBeeGeek
    In today's Action Addicts episode, I have YouTube sensation and partnered Twitch streamer "DeeBeeGeek" AKA Brendan joining me to have a nice fireside chat about the 2021 incarnation of Mortal Kombat. We look at the franchise as a whole, where it's going, what it could become, MCU comparisons and a decent dose of gaming knowledge. This is a little bit different from a normal episode, it's less focused and also the first time where both hosts aren't fans of the film being discussed.

  • Ep6 - The Running Man (1987) with Shafi Malik
    Joining me today we have Shafi Malik the host of Who Dropped the Popcorn and a fellow British podcaster. We team up today to talk about Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1987 classic The Running Man. An adaptation of a Stephen King novel this film had a lot to say and perhaps is actually not as appreciated as it should be.Shafi's Twitter: https://twitter.com/ShafOneAction Addicts Links: https://linktr.ee/actionaddicts

  • Ep5 - Righting Wrongs (1986) with Andy Gorham

    Today I am joined by Andy Gorham to talk about one of the most interesting films of Hong Kong's action golden age. Yuen Biao and Cynthia Rothrock start in this Cory Yuen directed action thriller. A lawyer who takes the law into his own hands and goes on a mission of vengeance against the crime bosses that no one can put away when confined to the rules of court. We break down this darker film from Yuen's career and also talk about the fact this film has two completely different versions out there in the wild.
