In this episode I'm joined once again by Chris "The Brain" Kacvinsky from Bulletproof Action, and this time we're looking at the Isaac Florentine flick "Cold Harvest," starring Gary Daniels, Bryan Genesse, and Barbara Crampton. How does Daniels do playing two parts? Who does Genesse's beard? And ultimately, does it all just come down to finding a place where you can get a decent pastrami sandwich?

Scott Murphy from All 90s Action, All the Time and New Horror Express is back to discuss another Steven Seagal DTV flick, this time "Belly of the Beast." Directed by Hong Kong legend Siu-Tung Ching, there are elements that are worthy of his status in this--and there are elements that are worthy of Seagal's status too, if you know what I mean. It's still got all the bonkers you want from a Seagal DTV film.

In a continuation from episode 207's recording session, Jon Cross from Be Kind Movie Vault and the PM Entertainment Podcast and I had more material beyond the double feature of "Bedroom Eyes" and "Bedroom Eyes II" we discussed then. Among the many things we joked about: minor league hockey, guys at the bar who think they know everything, and a conspiracy theorist looking to get on his podcast. We also talk a...

Todd Liebenow from Forgotten Filmcast is back on, this time to discuss "American Ninja," the Michael Dudikoff/Cannon classic. There are all kinds of things to get into with this gem, from the ninja action, to Michael Dudikoff's strong silent type--emphasis on the silent--to the pictures the colonel keeps on his wall, and we get into all of it!
