Popcorn Pulse 28: Assault on Time

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Chance can be a fickle master at the best of times and often leaves you when you need it most. And so it was for Wetall when Tim got to choose the movie for the joint review this episode. Tim picked the original Assault on Precinct 13(1976) by John Carpenter.

Tim likes it for the atmosphere being an action film shot in the style of a horror movie. Weltall was frustrated by the incredibly slow pacing at the beginning and the seemingly senseless direction. Though we both agreed some of the lines were hilarious, unintentionally, and the titular assault was fun. Continue reading “Popcorn Pulse 28: Assault on Time”

Popcorn Pulse 27: What Wound

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

There was a time in the nineties when Steven Segal’s agent would actually call him back. This was around the same time he actually fit into suits and didn’t look ridiculous squinting angrily at anyone who dared put their fists in his personal space. It was the nineties and it was a heady time for all of us.

Then the millennium came and went and we discovered he wasn’t all that cool. Hollywood still hadn’t gotten the memo so they stuff Segal into a uniform and a movie, paired him with DMX and called it a day. Which is how we ended up with Exit Wounds, a movie which was based on a book that everyone decided to ignore and, instead, created a generic story featuring corrupt cops and drugs. Also Tom Arnold and Anthony Anderson are in it as comic relief. Consider yourself warned. Continue reading “Popcorn Pulse 27: What Wound”
