Matt & Todd ride out west to follow the vengeance trail of Josey Wales. An angry and bitter western about an angry and bitter man. Directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. Also starring Chief Dan George, Sondra Locke, Geraldine Keams Bill McKinney and John Vernon

Mike, Matt & Todd are joined by The Irredeemable Shag as the close out their coverage of The Super Friends cartoon series. With Firestorm joining the Super Friends it only seemed fitting to have Firestorm Super Fan Shag along to discuss this incredible new teammate. The last two seasons of Super Friends brought numerous changes and upgrades to the series. New heroes, new villains and even new voices. Some of the best episodes came just before the doors of the Hall of Justice were shuttered after over a decade. Be sure to follow Shag on his Once Upon A Geek and The Justice League International: Blah-Ha-Ha Podcasts. You can find these and other great shows over at The Fire & Water Podcast Network. Don’t forget you can follow us on X (Twitter) Instagram and Bluesky @MovieMattSirois.

The original Exorcist has been, praised, discussed, critiqued, and examined for decades. Matt & Todd are fans of William Friedkin’s horror masterpiece, but have nothing to add to the conversation. Therefore they are jumping right to The Exorcist III, the brilliant sequel to one of the greatest films ever made. A masterpiece in its own right. Written and directed by William Peter Blatty and starring George C Scott, Ed Flanders and Brad Dourif. Based on the novel Legion by William Peter Blatty

“There’s never been a superhero like Ace Hunter!” Michael returns to discuss MegaForce with Matt & Todd. The futuristic international military team that wants to ensure “The Good guys always win! Even in the 80s”. Their motto: “Deeds not Words” but since this is a podcast, words are all we have! “Are you Man Enough for MegaForce?” Because girls aren’t allowed! MegaForce stars Barry Bostwick, Persis Khambatta, Michael Beck & Henry Silva. Directed by Hal Needham

Matt and Todd duck for cover as the bullets fly in this blood soaked crime thriller about the Depression Era bank robber. Starring one of the greatest actors of the 60s and 70s Warren Oates. Also starring Ben Johnson, Michelle Phillips, Harry Dean Stanton and Richard Dryfuss. Directed with rapid fire ferocity by John Milius

A far better movie than it has any right to be. Excellent performances by Julian Sands and Richard E Grant guided by veteran horror director Steve Miner make this a must see horror flick. An underrated cult classic.

Mike joins Matt & Todd once again for an apocalyptic road trip. Very loosely based on the novel by Roger Zelazny, this sci-fi adventure film bombed at the box office but has since become a cult classic. Starring Jan-Michael Vincent, George Peppard, Dominique Sanda & Jackie Earl Haley. This episode is dedicated to Dizzie & Finnegan. Our recently departed dogs.

One of the best films to capitalize on the JAWS formula. Instead of one giant killer fish, we’re treated to hundreds of small killer fish. Bradford Dillman & Heather Menzies race against time to save as many people as they can from genetically engineered Piranha. Directed by Joe Dante. Also featuring Kevin McCarthy, Dick Miller & Keenan Wynn

The movie that destroyed Matt & Todd’s foolish preconceived notions on International Filmmakers. In the early 90s one of the greatest action directors in cinema history left Hong Kong to make films in the USA. His first American film was Hard Target, one of TV/Movie Rewinds Top Ten Action films. Matt & Todd consider Hard Target to be Woo’s best American made film and Star Jean-Claude Van Damme’s best movie. Featuring Lance Henriksen and Arnold Vosloo in amazing roles as villains. Hard Target reaches its 30th Anniversary in August. Celebrate with us.
