The Kulturecast

We continue Buddy Cop Movie Month with another mismatched pairing of cops, this time with a spin on a golden era tv show, Dragnet. Starring Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd as Streebek and Friday, they are tasked with taking down a pagan cult wreaking havoc on Los Angeles. It's a comedy with a performance from Aykroyd for the absolute ages. Dark Destination's Father Malone and Mondo Heather's Heather Drain Mike join Chris to talk about the film, all manner of Aykroydia, and a certain city of crime.

We kick off Buddy Cop Movie Month with a film that just happens to be one of the best examples of the genre, Lethal Weapon. Starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover as two very different cops, they are tasked with taking down a drug syndicate in LA at the behest of a former friend. It features everything you could ever want from a buddy cop movie aside from Joe Pesci. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the film, who's getting too old for whose shit, and Mr. Joshua.

We end Indian Cinema Month with a look at another Aamir Khan film that features him wearing a cool hat and dancing a whole lot: Rangeela. Starring the charismatic Khan along with Jackie Shroff, they play two men fighting over the love of Urmila Matondkar's Mili. Along the way, there's a fair amount of singing, dancing, and fun to be had! The Projection Booth's Mike White and Mondo Heather's Heather Drain join Chris to talk about the film, Aamir Khan's hat, and a certain American filmmaker gone Indian.

On this bonus Kulturecast, we take a look at a horror movie that just happens to feature the Foo Fighters playing themselves: Studio 666. With Dave Grohl as the lead, the film follows the band as they attempt to finish their tenth album in a California haunted house. It's a lot longer than it has any right to be; it's a lot better too than it has any right to be too. Singer Andy Gnosis and Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley join Chris to talk about the film, Grohl's performance, and other horror comedies.

On this bonus Kulturecast, we take a look at a film that's a little bit Terminator, a little bit mumbled line delivery, and a whole lot of gray: Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe. Starring wrestling legend Jesse Ventura, the film follows Ventura as the titular Abraxas who is tasked with taking down the rogue Secundus who is attempting to take over the universe with the anti-life equation. It's a lot less fun than it sounds; a total shame. Artist Dustin Rutledge joins Chris to talk about the film, Ventura's acting ability, and the culmator.

It's Mike White March once again, and this year, it's all Chow Yun-Fat films! We end the month with a film that is the antithesis of the thinking man's action film: Full Contact. Starring Chow as the badass Gou Fei (Jeff), he leads a group of thieves who are betrayed during a robbery only to launch a mission to get their vengeance. It's a wild ride with more action than you could ever want. The Projection Booth's Mike White and Diabolique's Heather Drain join Chris to talk about the film, the character of Virgin, and the action setpieces.

It's Mike White March once again, and this year, it's all Chow Yun-Fat films! We near the end of the month with a drama that shows just how bad of a father Chow can be: All About Ah-Long. Starring Chow and Sylvia Chang, the two play estranged lovers whose child is seemingly torn between a life with one or the other. You'll never see the ending coming. The Projection Booth's Mike White and Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley joins Chris to talk about the film, the chainsaw duel, and Chow's performance.

We take another break from Mike White March to take a look at a film that is laden with '80s nostalgia of the action movie and sci-fi variety, Manborg. Starring every member of the Astron-6 crew, it follows Manborg, a soldier revived in the distant future and fused with robotics, that is tasked with taking down the evil Count Draculon. It's as tongue-in-cheek as it sounds and just as wild. Artist Dustin Rutledge joins Chris to talk about the film, the other Astron-6 films, and '80s action movies.
