That Baby Knows the Iron Armor Technique.
Rack one into the chamber, because Shoot `Em Up is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film,
featuring Daryl Surat of Anime World Order.
Review in a Nutshell: An over-the-top action film with a strong sense of humor, Shoot `Em Up seems doomed to be miss-classified and miss-categorized. This film is the director’s love letter to the sort of improbable action sequences pioneered by the violent Hong Kong films of the 1990s, and thus it doesn’t entirely fit in among comparable Western films.
Final Thought:
Eat your vegetables.

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,

Drum Solo!

The Taste that Lingers?
Hold onto your sushi, because Wasabi is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the poster or the movie title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.
NOTE: Technically difficulties caused Sean’s end of the conversation to “clip” during recording. We apologize for the sound quality in advance.
Review in a Nutshell: Wasabi is an action-comedy with a zany sense of humor and a clean visual aesthetic. The film doesn’t hold up well to repeated viewing, but a single viewing is definitely worth a look, especially if you liked the later films influenced by Wasabi, such as Crank and Shoot `Em Up.

Ax Dancing, Sexy Robots, Rambo, Red Sonja?
Remember to eat your fruit and vegetables, because Cobra is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Daryl Surat of AnimeWorldOrder.
Review in a Nutshell: There are some movies that define an era, embedding themselves in the fabric of popular media and influencing later films for decades to come. And there are films like Cobra, which encapsulate the craziest elements of an entire period in film and then are promptly, tragically forgotten.
This movie contains:
Killer Nerds?
Practical Solutions in Cutlery.
Fast Food Atrocities.
Sexy Robots?
FINAL THOUGHT:
Behold, the infamous music video montage!

Sho Kosugi, You Are Not James Bond.
Break out those exploding shurikens, because Rage of Honor is (definitely not) the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download the review.
Review in a Nutshell: Crippled by terrible camera-work and Sho Kosugi’s broken Engrish, Rage of Honor is not an ideal ninja movie. Still, we at the Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast are thankful for ninja movies in general.
This movie contains:
FALSE ADVERTISING!
Sho Kosugi, Gentleman Spy.
Camo-Pajama Jesus Ninjas.

John Cena loves Explosions
Strap on your explosion-proof T-shirt, because The Marine is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Review in a Nutshell: The Marine is a throwback to an earlier era in action movies, when the heroes were nigh-invulnerable and the mayhem was constant. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
This photo demonstrates both John Cena’s incredible ‘Angry Face’ and his initiative in creative war-paint design.
