PODCAST: Episode 162 of "The Cinephile Hissy Fit" Podcast

For their 162nd episode, two high-as-a-kite film critics, two gummy-chugging dads, and two pec-popping teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, turn back the time machine to the 1980s were star-driven fighting films were a holiday staple coming out of the public hits of Rocky and The Karate Kid. Our guys aim much cheesier and much lower with 1988's Bloodsport starring the "Muscles from Brussells" Jean-Claude Van Damme. When tuned up mentally and physically, our hosts will tell you this movie is a trip!

Sometimes, the best documentaries aren't about stirring victories, historic successes, or heroic people. Sometimes, the best documentaries are about losers, accidental stardom, hubris, and horrible people.

REVIEW RE-RUN: The Expendables 2

HUMOROUS DISCLAIMER: I had pretty overwhelming feeling going in that The Expendables 2 was going to be a carbon copy of the first movie from 2010, only bigger, louder, busier, and very few minor differences of note.

Enjoy!
