Tonight, we’re turning on the PA system and stepping up to the plate. We are drafting our Top 5 Walk-On Songs—the tracks that define that "big sports game" feeling, pump up the crowd, and make you want to run through a brick wall, Kool-aid man style. Deric goes for the classic arena anthems that get the bleachers stomping , while Ryan takes a massive detour into booking his own imaginary pro-wrestling promotion, complete with a bronco busting cowboy and a surfer dude heartthrob on a long board.

Ryan shares a legendary story from a local community center wrestling match in Missouri , and Deric reveals his all-time favorite wrestler who wasn't afraid to get thrown off the top of a steel cage.

What’s in the tokens tonight:

• The Main Event: Top 5 Walk-On Songs (& Stadium Anthems).

• Retro Ramble: Who is our favorite wrestler of all time?

• Stale Popcorn: Dropping in some knowledge from episodes past

• Gum Under The Seat: Viewer feedback and LIVE comments

Grab your popcorn (fresh or stale), find your seat in the bleachers, and join the conversation.

Next Week: We're watching the 1979 cult classic, The Warriors!

Grab your quarters and join us as we step into Shadaloo for a rewatch of the 1994 cult classic, Street Fighter. In this episode, we dissect why this "cartoon of a movie" feels like the 90s answer to Batman '66—unapologetically campy and overflowing with "wonky movie tech".

We dive deep into the legendary performance of Raul Julia as M. Bison, and how he "hammed it up in the right way" while a "prima donna" Jean-Claude Van Damme struggled through a $10,000-a-week habit on set. From "Bison Dollars" (should've been Bison Bucks!) to the absolute disaster that was Blanka, we rate the film’s faithfulness to the source material and its inexplicable worldwide box office success.

Does Guile’s flat-top translate to live action? Is the "Action-Pose" ending the dumbest thing in cinema history? And why didn't we get a single split from JCVD? Tune in to find out!

This week, we are diving into the 1987 cult classic, Masters of the Universe. A movie that somehow managed to turn a massive 80s toy empire into a box office flop. We break down the confusing decision to swap Orko for Gwildor , Dolph Lundgren’s surprisingly stacked resume , and Frank Langella’s genuinely fantastic performance as Skeletor. Plus, we try to figure out what all this has to do with earth.

In This Episode:

• Main Feature: Masters of the Universe (1987). Is it an underrated sci-fi fantasy adventure, or just a repurposed fantasy film with He-Man shoehorned in?

• Retro Ramble: If you could have the complete set of any toy line in history, what would it be?

• Stale Popcorn: Deric tries to sell Ryan on watching the new The 'Burbs reboot series.

• Gum Under the Seat: You guys fired back in the comments about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, and we laid the groundwork for a future review of M. Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable.
