A multi-genre podcast where Gary and his co-hosts (Iris Walters, Suzanne Cappelletti and Jamie Sammons) put two films that share a thread on the table and talk about them with a bit of banter and laughter at each other’s expense.
Gary and Jon go behind enemy lines and get in the shit with a brand new installment. On the Pare tip, our coifed saint of genre cinema teams up with genre legend Robert Davi to take on multiple gangs, gangsters and a pair of sibling assassins hellbent on revenge. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa and Joel Grey also star in The Dangerous.

The hosts review the 2002 Walter Hill film Undisputed, a prison boxing drama starring Wesley Snipes and Ving Rhames.

Overall, they find it a serviceable, old-fashioned genre picture elevated by its strong character actor cast.
