Bulletproof Podcast

The Bulletproof Podcast is a celebration of all things action movies... the ass kicking heroes, the over the top villains, the loyal sidekicks, the shoot outs, the fisticuffs, the angry police captains, the ninjas, the one liners and the cars that flip for no apparent reason! Each episode is hosted by Bulletproof Action's Chris The Brain and co-hosted by Chad Cruise. Chris and Chad sit down with their friends and the occasional special guest to discuss the most explosive movie genre on the planet!
