On the heels of a successfully completed second season Thirsty For More is back with an Alien Franchise mini-dive! The brothers are joined by resident Alien expert and Ripley doppelgänger Leila Darragh as third host while they dive deep into this most Pantheon of series! A well rounded discussion including: working class heroes, malfunction cumrobots, anal-bead entrails along with some pretty major bombshells dropped as the trio discuss Ridley Scott's classic film! Do not miss this classic episode of the show. Where are my shares???

The final episode of the Jean Pod Van Damme season of the show. The film the brothers chosen for the last episode of the season is The Bouncer. A gritty low budget Euro art film take on the classic Van Damme style plot of 'saving a loved one" This film roots that story in the reality of a working class single father with a sordid past. Van Damme is very stoic Van Damme in this movie. He is kind of intense but very calm and collected. The main crime boss, Jan calls Van Damme a survivor in this movie and honestly that's the perfect way to describe him both on and off screen. An excellent and emotional ending to a fantastic JCVD season!

Thank you to all who joined us along the way. We'll be continuing with the Alien series. So stick around after to listen to the new mini dive!

In another first for the show the brothers cover an original series called: Jean Claude Van Johnson. In this somewhat off beat action comedy Van Damme gets to show a lot of range as the meek Filip, as the badass Van Johnson and as the vulnerable Van Varenberg. Another meta outing for Van Damme that avoids getting stale by really committing to the meta self-parody to the point of sincerity. A very strange an interesting show with a great support cast. Not an episode to miss for fans of JCVD.

Kickboxer Vengeance is an outlier. A remake of a classic JCVD movie that is very dear to the brothers. Kurt and Eric Sloan are back only this time way less charming and interesting! And this time Van Damme is the teacher and the real Tong Po is in jail. One night after a failed attempt to download the remake and record the episode of the show the brothers decide to do a walk and talk preamble where they discuss their expectations for the movie. They have a loose conversation about the institution of remakes in general, comparing biopics to remakes and talking about the merits of a remake with a visionary director vs someone who doesn't have the fire! The brothers have a strikingly opinions about this soft reboot and it plays out over an endearing conversation before and after having seen the movie. Stay for the hilarious jokes.

Universal Soldier Day of Reckoning is a really strange, violent and thoughtful art movie. John Hyams gives the viewer the beloved franchise characters in a meta way using the first film's own mythos to comment back on itself, filmmaking, violence and culture while also just being really cool and fun. Van Damme is subdued, regal and almost godlike in this role while Dolph doles out the enterainment. Scott Adkins does an impressive job at humbly but expertly taking the torch from his revered predecessor. The brothers are joined once again by special guest star Keenan Marr Tamblyn who discusses his new trading card art project that you can find @discodromeart Enjoy this really fun episode!

The brothers took their John Hyams film journey slightly out of order positioning the Universal Soldier: Regeneration episode after the Dragon Eyes ep. This proved to be a smart choice because all of the glimmers of excellence observable in Dragon Eyes were on FULL DISPLAY in Regeneration. A gritty sequel that doesn't focus on the logistics of the scifi aspect for too long. This film takes all the best aspects of the first Universal Soldier film and turns them up. High octane. Thrilling. Strangely philosophical. With an EPIC Dolph performance. This episode also features fan fav guest and designer of the T4M artwork: Keenan Marr Tamblyn. Back again to talk about his art ( Instagram: @discodromeart ) and this wonderful movie.

Van Damme's appearances on The Arsenio Hall Show are the stuff of legend. Their ability to play off of each other transcends your average late night show appearance. In this episode the brother examine these appearances and re live some of the iconic pop culture moments that helped catapult the young actor into super stardom. The brother look at the appearances with the knowledge that soon this golden era would come crashing down for JCVD and they examine the appearances in the broader context of this season of Thirsty For More. A fun introspective episode!

Dragon Eyes is a little disappointing after the massive performance of our previous film: JCVD but the show must go on! Milenko is really disappointed out of the gate with this movie however Aleks ends up bringing him back around. There's a lot to get excited about this John Hyams feature: Peter Weller gives a strange gonzo performance. JCVD gets "and" credit status! And we get a slew of amazing MMA fighter performances not the least of which is the breakout role of Cung Le! Who does a fantastic job in his first role.

Fun ep!

When you all heard that we'd be doing a Van Damme season this was undoubtedly the top movie on your minds. JCVD (2008) is the movie that turned Van Damme into: JCVD... Truly bringing him into the 21st century by giving him an enviable renaissance and a chance to flex his acting biceps. Director Mabrouk el Mechri does a masterful job in capturing the essence of what has made JCVD a lasting global phenomenon and why he has enjoyed a sustained cross-cultural appeal as opposed to some of his other contemporaries. This film has become a model for a perfect gritty indie comeback. Perspective shifting all over the place while playing fast and loose with the fourth wall and an uninterrupted 6 min career defining monologue that could have been its own award winning short film. To quote the Times: Don't give him a blackbelt! Give him an Oscar! The brothers wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. One of the best podcast episodes we've ever done! Big film! JCVD.
