  • 597: "They blew up the bookstore. Kill them all." | Desperado (1995)
    Jul 30 2025

    This week we’re diving into Desperado (1995), Robert Rodriguez’s bullet ballet of blood, guitars, and grit. Antonio Banderas is the slickest mariachi with a mission, Salma Hayek sets the screen on fire, and every shootout feels like a rock concert with a body count. It’s tequila-soaked mayhem, slow-mo carnage, and enough style to make your sunglasses sweat. Lock the case. Load the guns. Let’s blow the roof off.

  • 596: "You have the right to remain unconscious" | Lethal Weapon 3 (1992)
    Jul 26 2025

    We’re diving back into Lethal Weapon 3 (1992) for one of our 10th anniversary rewatch episodes—because nothing says “celebrating a decade of podcasting” like explosions, bickering, and a saxophone-heavy score. Riggs is still unhinged, Murtaugh’s somehow even closer to retirement (again), and the city’s being torn apart by a corrupt ex-cop with armor-piercing bullets and a bad attitude. Toss in Rene Russo as the internal affairs sergeant who matches Riggs punch for punch (and flirt for flirt), and you’ve got peak ’90s buddy-cop chaos. It’s bullets, banter, bromance—and a reminder that after ten years of the 30something Movie Podcast, we’re still not too old for this… well, you know.

  • 595: "Enter The Hackman" | The Quick and The Dead (1995)
    Jul 23 2025

    This week we’re saddling up with The Quick and the Dead (1995), Sam Raimi’s spaghetti western by way of a Looney Tunes fever dream. Sharon Stone rides into town with a score to settle, Russell Crowe tries to outrun his past, and Gene Hackman chews the scenery like it’s a steak he overcooked himself. Leonardo DiCaprio is all charm and babyface bravado, and every gunfight is a crash zoom carnival of smoke, sweat, and a ticking clock. It’s duels at high noon, showdowns at sundown, and the kind of over-the-top visual flair that makes you wonder if the camera’s going to start shooting bullets too. We’re locking, loading, and going full Raimi on this one.
