Episode 31 ~ Gymkata (1985)

Gymkata! What else to say other than that?

To be frank, you either know what this is, or you don't. If you do then you know why this movie works so well. If not, then you might be excited to learn that you've missed out on an 80s action adventure movie based around gymnastics, undead cities, death races, ninjas, and daring danger at every turn. They not only don't make them like this anymore, it was already uncommon by the time it was actually made.

That said, it's not perfect. Find out why in today's episode!

Episode 16 ~ Six Pack (1982)

After getting into some cult favorite sports movies, we decided to take a small detour in something a bit more obscure, though it's mostly obscure due to availability. This is one that aside from airing on cable a lot back on the day, and actually did well at the box office, has been almost entirely forgotten due to not seeing much in the way of re-releases.

That said, there is a lot of charm here for a movie ripe for rediscovery. This is another one they don't really make them like anymore. See why that might be in today's episode!

Episode 15 ~ The Cannonball Run (1981)

Here's one we've been hankering to cover for some time now. Not only for finally covering a Burt Reynolds movie, but also one directed by Hal Needham, a stunt-focused lighthearted romp of the kind they simply don't make anymore. We also have yet to really watch anything remotely like it, which made for a fun episode.

That said, even now, there isn't really anything like the original version of The Cannonball Run, even today. A cocktail of comedy, sports, action, and fun, you're going to have a blast with this one. It's simply a great time.

Tune in to this episode to understand just why that is!
