The Action Addicts

Joining me today on this very special episode we have returning guests Lindsay Wilkins, Bede Jermyn and Super Marcey. Yes that's right, 3 guests. Meaning 4 voices total to talk about a rather crazy film known as Ninja 3: The Domination. Celebrating it's 40th anniversary and being the finale of ninja month. It's all culminated in a lovely crossover of our themes in the recent episodes. Directed by Sam Firstenberg and starring Sho Kosugi, Lucinda Dickey, Jordan Bennett, and James Hong. This should have been the apex of the Ninja trilogy, instead it went in a very different direction. Is it all the better for it? Listen to find out.Schlock&Awe Twitter: @schlockandawe1Bede's Twitter: @BedeJermynSuper Marcey's Twitter: @supermarceyAction Addicts Links: https://linktr.ee/actionaddicts

Today we are talking on the 40th Anniversary of Beverly Hills Cop with returning guest Larry Sternshein who was last on talking about the John Woo movie Broken Arrow but is now here to discuss the wisecracking Eddie Murphy in his most iconic role, Axel Foley. The first in a series now 4 movies strong, the original is a staple of the 1980s and time has not dulled it's shine.Larry's Show: @reelearlypodMy Links: https://linktr.ee/actionaddicts

Today we are celebrating the first of many 40th anniversaries, kicking things off with Walter Hill's rock and roll fable Streets of Fire. A film that had a lot more influence on pop culture than anyone could have foreseen at the time, even if you've never seen this movie you've likely seen one that took inspiration from it, music videos that learned from it's editing or video games that took the aesthetic and ran with it. Joining me today we have returning guest Mike Fury, author of the Art of Action books and a massive Walter Hill fan!Mike's Twitter: @TheMikeFuryAction Addicts Links: https://linktr.ee/actionaddicts

It's to get tubular dudes! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are celebrating their 40th anniversary since blasting onto comic pages back in 1984! They then conquered childrens TV with a revered cartoon that ran from 1987 to 1996 but at the start of the new decade they hit the big time by smashing on to cinema screens everywhere! Join me in welcome both Robb and Patrick back to the show to discuss this 1990 classic that features excellent martial arts action, cutting edge animatronics and gives us versions of these characters that became so definitive, each iteration since starts here.

Please welcome Dan Grima to the show! Making his Action Addict debut to discuss the 1983 classic, Revenge of the Ninja! Dan is the host of the BlindSpots movie podcast as well as a frequent collaborator of the We Love Dad Movies podcast and we have been trying to arrange a time for him to come on for an absolute age! At long last we've had Dan on and it was during our Season of Shinobi to talk about one of the highest regarded Canon movies in this starring vehicle for martial arts legend Sho Kosugi.Dan's Twitter: @DanGrima92BlindSpots Twitter: @BlindSpots_PodAction Addicts Links: https://linktr.ee/actionaddicts

Joining me today we have the return of Andy Gorham to the show to talk about the 1980 classic "The Octagon" starring Chuck Norris and Lee Van Cleef. This film has it all, an unconventional Norris role, ninjas, mercenaries, the debut appearance of Richard Norton and of course, insanely incoherent whispering. Don't miss this one!Andy's Twitter: @AndrewMGorhamAction Addicts Links: https://linktr.ee/actionaddicts

On today's episode I am joined by returning guest Super Marcey to discuss one of the progenitors for the "ninja craze" in 1981s Enter the Ninja. Take a shot every time we say this is a weird movie if you want a real challenge! This is a movie that has not aged gracefully I'll say that much.Super Marcey Twitter: @supermarceyAction Addicts Links: https://linktr.ee/actionaddicts
