In this episode, we’re taking a trip into the wild with The Edge (1997), the survival thriller starring the legendary Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin. Directed by Lee Tamahori and written by David Mamet, this film mixes brains, brawn, and one very terrifying bear into a story about survival, trust, and betrayal.

We’re excited to be joined by Tony from Hack The Movies, who brings his insight and perspective as we unpack everything this movie has to offer. Together, we cover:

• The intense survival sequences and whether they hold up today 🪓
• The on-screen chemistry (and tension) between Hopkins and Baldwin
• The bear scenes that made this film unforgettable 🐻
• The film’s underlying themes of man vs. nature, ego, and intellect
• Behind-the-scenes trivia that adds new layers to the story
• And of course, the big question: Is this the manliest survival movie ever made?

If you’re a fan of survival stories, wilderness thrillers, or just love Anthony Hopkins delivering iconic performances, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

The final episode of our Month of Action is HERE! 

In this episode, we’re diving into Solo (1996) — the high-octane, cyber-soldier action flick starring Mario Van Peebles as a government-made killing machine who grows a conscience and goes rogue. It’s got jungle warfare, robot ethics, 90s cheese, and some wild explosions.

Come hang with us as we ask:

This week Parker from  @DissectThatFilm joins us as we dust off a forgotten slice of late-’90s sci-fi action with Paul W.S. Anderson’s Soldier (1998), starring a mostly silent but fully shredded Kurt Russell. From the bleak wastelands of junk planets to the emotionally stunted heart of a genetically bred killing machine, we’re breaking down the brutal, the bizarre, and the surprisingly heartfelt moments in this cult favorite.

Was Soldier ahead of its time or just another discarded relic from the video store shelves? We talk military programming, emotional reawakening, slow-motion explosions—and how this film might secretly be a cousin to Blade Runner. 🤯

In this episode, we’re stepping back into the ring with Rocky II, the powerful follow-up to the original underdog story that started it all. Sylvester Stallone writes, directs, and stars in this emotional and action-packed sequel that continues Rocky Balboa's journey from humble beginnings to boxing legend.

After going the distance with Apollo Creed in the first film, Rocky finds himself torn between settling into a quiet life with Adrian and answering the call for a rematch he never expected. With financial struggles, personal doubts, and a relentless Apollo demanding another fight, Rocky II raises the stakes while holding onto the heart and grit that made the original so beloved.

We dive into how the film expands Rocky’s world, deepens his character, and delivers one of the most iconic training montages and final bouts in sports movie history. Whether you're a longtime fan or watching for the first time, this is a sequel that packs a punch in more ways than one.
