Action Movie History 1878-1909

What happens in Sweden stays in Sweden... until now. The fine fellows producing Pod Hard, a podcast about action movies, have started using their vocal cords in an anglo-saxon way.

Jonas Högberg & Anders Hultqvist have also made a small reboot to their style and will be tracing the history of action movie cinema for quite some time going forward.

In this first episode we are dialing the clock all the way back to the 1800s, discussing photographic guns, fence jumping pumpkins, Michael Bay-precursors, early Youtube-cat movies, the first cool action hero (aptly named The Dude), the concept of cutting to the chase in a very literal way and much much more.

You'll also find out how to stop a motor car. Enlightenment and oodles and oodles of fun awaits!
