Episode 18: Hard Ticket to Hawaii

On today’s episode I saw an old 80’s action movie at the Alamo Drafthouse In Tempe. This movie has it all: bazookas, naked women, skateboarding Assassins, and the most fake looking snake you have ever scene. Plus I was lucky enough to sit in on a live Q and A with the producer of this film and learned that this movie has a lot more heart in it then I imagined.
