Non-Cannon ~ Episode 64 - Sidekicks (1992)



I bet you didn't think we'd cover another Chuck Norris movie so fast! However, this time we chose something a bit out of the ordinary, by deciding to watch a film that would define his post-Cannon career. That would be the now-obscure 1992 hit Sidekicks, co-starring the unfortunately late Jonathan Brandis. This is a family-friendly affair, more directed at kids than the usual adult audience Norris was known for. That said, the nostalgic are sure to get a kick out of this one, just as we did when we discussed it.

That said, the movie is quite a lot more fun than you might expect, and we both enjoyed watching it a good deal. See the full episode for the details.

This is also a bit of a preview of things to come, since next week we will be taking a break from season 7 to dive into some summer-themed films instead. Since it has been a quarter of a century since 1996, the final date we allow ourselves to cover on Cannon Cruisers, we have chosen to use the opportunity to do things a bit different and cover movies we would have seen when we were kids that were aimed at our audience. Since we don't usually talk about such movies outside of rare opportunities, this is going to be interesting. So definitely look forward to that.

A fun summer is on the way!
