Inspired by our classic Bullet Train episode we do our first ever movie draft, where we each take turns selecting our favourite Brad Pitt flicks. Things get fairly heated, fairly quickly - and they don't cool down when we run through our TOP FIVE PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES. Ironically this episode goes off the rails, but in the most entertaining way possible!
A new release movie? Readily available on multiple streaming services for free? This can't be The Redeemables?... Oh but it is. That's right Deadhopers, we watched Bullet Train! BJ has never seen this movie, which is a podcast first. Duff has seen it "hundreds of times" and Kenny just the three times. We go to war with the critics, we talk about Brad Pitt handing the heart throb mega star baton to Aaron Taylor-Johnson and why films set on moving vehicles are sick. Please enjoy...
Everyone loves a prison movie right? Well your boys at The Redeemables sure do! After we play an enlightening and hilarious game of "Is that prison jargon or a weird sport?" we each give our Top Five Favourite Prisoners, and there's some classics, some surprises and a lot of laughs!
The year is 2079, there's a prison in space, the President's Daughter is there, there's a riot, Guy Pearce comes to save the day with incredible biceps and even better one liners.... Sounds perfect, but is it? BJ's left field movie selection has Kenny rattled, Duff goes full serious (briefly) and then we end up talking about TV shows perhaps more than we should. Oh and we also act on behalf of Guy Pearce and negotiate his contract for his next movie role. Thanks for listening!
We got mail! After we discuss a little listener feedback Duff lines up a quiz which tests both the other guy's knowledge of iconic comedic movie quotes. Then the lads give their Top Five Comedy Scenes - and despite BJ straying from the brief (again) some of comedy's best zingers get some love.
Never sneak up on a man that's been in a chemical fire! That's just one of things we learned while revisiting 2007's Hot Rod. We also run through the incredible cast and who has had the best career out of Samberg, Hader, McBride and Arnett? Musical guests include John Farnham and is that.... no it can't be?... yes it is Queens OF The Stone Age performing live at the big stunt! Duff says "cool beans" a dozen times at least, Kenny gets the giggles over Will Arnett's character and BJ calls the bone...
First Kenny tests the malfunctioning memories of Duff & BJ with a rapid fire quiz involving quotes from the movies of the legendary Bruce Willis, then the guys run through their lists of their favourite movie sociopaths -which proves enlightening, entertaining and disturbing in various amounts.
Burn it.... burn it all! In this weeks ep Ben Foster goes dark and Bruce Willis has long hair (briefly) in 2005s Hostage. We cover off the life and times of one of Hollywood's most underrated actors, Ben Foster. We also pay tribute to Bruce Willis for a second time because why not? We get confused by a pocket watch, Duff finds out Johnny Messner is in this film and then decides he loves it, BJ announces another blockbuster classic that he hasn't seen & refuses to watch and Kenny mostly just ...
The Oscars were yesterday but the real award show is today - The Redeemies! Voted for by you, the people! Also included in this ep is our special category awards such as BJs "best performance from an animal" or Kenny's "best late night slow burn whiskey sipping film" or Duff's "biggest let down of the year". Tune in and then share your thoughts on our social media. This epsidoe is also available on Youtube!
This week the boys saddle up and ride roughshod through a Wild West themed quiz then throw their TOP FIVE WORST MOVIE LEADERS under the bus.
REGULATORS...... Mount Up! That's right, we finally did Young Guns. If you grew up in the 90s then this was one of your favourite films. If it wasn't, then we're shocked you're even listening to this podcast. We discuss how to say Kiefer Sutherland's name correctly, Peyote in the desert with close friends, "China Dolls", movie scores and everything else that's great but also questionable about the 1988 Western classic. Does it still hold up? Tune in and find out...
Who doesn't love to watch a city filled with iconic landmarks levelled to dust? The Redeemables boys sure do! So we ranked our favourite scenes of cities being destroyed. But first inspired by last week's Rampage episode Duff subjects Kenny & BJ to a quiz revolving around wrestlers turned actors where BJ's deprived childhood and Kenny's knowledge of obscure action movies are both exposed once again.
Can you smelllllllllllllllll what Duff is cooking!? If you can't, let me explain - It's The Rock, it's radioactive green shit, it's giant wolves, giant gorillas and giant alligators and they're tearing Chicago apart. Sounds good, I guess. But is it? Duff hosts and brings Kenny and BJ along to breakdown the 2018 blockbuster (that's apparently based on a video game that even BJ is too young to have heard of) and then decide to either redeem it or nail it to the cross...
Because too much Tom Cruise is barely enough! On this week's minisode we got so inspired by our episode covering Jack Reacher that we needed more Cruise in our lives! So Kenny hits us with a game of "Miscast Or Nah?" and then we each give our Top Five Films from the world's preeminent movie star.
New year, new season, same pod. Join us for the first ep of 2023 as Kenny breaks down Tom Cruise's 2012 action thriller - Jack Reacher. As always he's joined by BJ and Duff as they navigate their way through witty one liners, a super villain who just wants a piece of a family run construction business in middle America and, of course, EX-MARINES!
After a fun and mildly disturbing game about the most ridiculous laws still in place around the world the guys run through their favourite TOP FIVE COURTROOM MOVIES. Can you handle the truth? Only one way to find out....
In today's episode, Bj has chosen the 1996 crime/courtroom drama - Primal Fear. The critics agreed that the "twist" ruined the film rather than made the film but how did the guys see it? Watch the movie, then tune in to find out if the guys team up with Laura Linney and try to hide this movie with the other secret VHS tapes in the Priest's wardrobe or do we join Richard Gere's team and fight for justice for this film!
Who is film history's most formidable ONE MAN ARMY? Who is Kevin Seagal? What was the plot to Passenger 57 again? All these questions - and so many more - are answered in this classic minisode. We play a game invented by Duff - and survive to tell the tale - and then debate who the most effective one-person killing machine in movie history really is.
In today's episode, BJ has chosen the 1985 Arnold classic - Commando. The critics wanted more plot and better acting but how did the guys see it? Watch the film and then tune in to find out if we thought this is better left in 1985 or do we gather arms and embark on a kill mission with John Matrix? "John. I'll be ready, John!"
In today's minisode we pay tribute to Step Brothers by naming our top 5 comedies of the modern era, Kenny plays some random quotes from movies for the guys to guess the movie and we also attempt to Crown the King Of Comedy from the last 2 decades. Head to our social media to place your vote on the King Of Comedy... Thanks for listening!
The bonus round continues and Kenny has chosen his 51 rated movie, the Will Ferrell classic - Step Brothers. The critics couldn't find the humour in the crudeness and silliness but how did the guys see it? Watch the film, then tune in to find out if we quit the podcast, got jobs and moved out of mum and dads or did we party at the Catalina fucking Wine Mixer!
After a definitely fun and possibly educational game of "Alien Or Animal?" the guys run through their lists of "Top Five Alien Antagonists". Who do we rate as the best extra terrestrials that humanity has ever had to battle against? Tune in to find out as well as to enjoy the usual deep cuts, classic call outs and occasionally informative banter.
EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED - In today's episode, BJ has broken all the rules and selected a film that scored 51 on the Metacritic scale - 1997's Sci-Fi blockbuster - Starship Troopers! The critics couldn't stop comparing it to Star Wars because..... well because it has "Star" in the title, I guess? Watch the movie and then tune in to find out if we agree with the critics or do we sign up to mobile infantry and live forever!! Would you like to know more....
This week Duff makes his debut as quiz master in a game that sees one of the most lopsided trivia performances in Redeemables history. Then the lads share their Top Five Worst Sequels and discuss some the movies that are beyond redemption.
In today's episode, Duff has chosen the third and final (for now) instalment of the Jurassic World franchise - Dominion. The critics all agreed this was the worst entry in to the franchise but how did the guys see it? Watch the movie and then tune in to find out if we send this movie down the river in a can of whipped cream or do we walk with the Dinosaurs in glory one last time...
On this classic minisode we play a game invented by Kenny that details some of the craziest things actors have ever done to prepare for a role. And then each rattle off our Top Five Movie Shootouts.
In today's episode, Kenny has chosen the 2018 crime heist action thriller - Den Of Thieves. The critics say its a poor man's Heat but how did the guys see it? Watch the movie on Amazon Prime then tune in to find out if we should leave this one locked in the vault or do we put together a team of our Ex-Marine friends, hatch a plan and retrieve this film for the world to see...
On this minisode the lads play a quiz with it's origins in the murky depths of the Rotten Tomatoes user reviews. They then have a discussion about their Top Ten Action Movie Heroines, who currently holds the Action Heroine Championship Belt and talk about some contenders to the title. They go on to close out this bitesize classic with a listener email asking about movie snacks. Delicious!
In today's episode we're back with a bang with BJ's movie choice of 1996 cult action film - The Long Kiss Goodnight. The critics said it had an excess of excessiveness but how did the guys see it? Watch the movie then tune in to find out if we wish never recovered from Amnesia and didn't have to remember this movie or do we climb aboard the Geena Davis train and ride this one to the end...
In today's minisode the guys explore the infamous category of Movies based on Video Games - biggest hits and biggest fails. We also discuss our Top 5 Mark Wahlberg movies as an excuse for Duff to do quotes from The Big Hit. BJ comes out as the only middle class white male to have never played video games and "Edgy Kenny" is still in a mood after having to watch Uncharted again. Thanks for listening...
