Stallone Crime Films Special (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To conclude the Stallone fanfare, we dive into all of his remaining crime flicks where we encounter all kinds of atrocious, fascinating & underseen material to recap: *Which of these entries easily rivals the terribleness of Rhinestone? *Why can't Sly be bothered to actually try in even the most unwatchable direct to video film? *Which of his later entries are easily him doing rehashes of his stand-alone '80s films? *Should Sly had tried doing more buddy movies? *All that and why you should seek
Judge Dredd (1995) and Dredd (2012) Double Feature Retrospect Minisode (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this brief overview, we reflect upon the junky yet divisive '90s Stallone adaptation of the comic book JUDGE DREDD as well as its critcally favorable yet financial flop rehash from 2012: *Why didn't Dredd do more crossovers like the Batman comic book? *Is it true that the he UK censorship cut of the '95 film has different scenes than the U.S. release? *Why do many think that Dredd was a homage to The Raid when both were just Die Hard-inspired films filming around the same time? *And why wasn'

Read excerpt
We continue the various Stallone tributes by outlining 4 of his non-Rocky sports themed dramas: Where do Paradise Alley, Victory, Over the Top & Grudge Match all rank for most of his fanbase? Which of them does he make a pre-Rhinestone mistake of singing the theme song in? Which one honestly needs more love due to the comedic gags present in it? Which entry is still often ranked as Sly's "so bad it's good" masterpiece? And why were these so underseen despite being released during his hay day? Ge

Read excerpt
I close out the Expendables fanfare with an overview on the Dynamite released prequel comic and the "GO TO HELL" crowdfunded sequel by Splatto Comics: What aspect comes up short in the prequel comic book? What awesome personas and shenanigans happen in this supernatural sequel comic? What creative avenues make one wish there was this much imagination in the actual movie sequels? All that and notes on the pros & cons on comic book tie-ins to cinema! SONG INTRO: "Diamond Eyes" (Trailer Version) by
The Expendables Movie Villains Tribute Minisode (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For our second Stallone themed week of September, we dive into some of his other crazy outings: We had so much fun summing up Sly's Rocky and Rambo franchise villains so it was time to slip in another minisode on the big bads of his Expendables homage series. Would Mel Gibson be more intimidating than Van Damme in a random celebrity encounter? Why didn't "Stone Cold" Steve Austin continue doing more Action films after stealing every scene in the first Expendables? Was Eric Roberts amped up or wa
