Episode 55: True Lies & Either or Both
2w ago01:13:25Tap to summarizeComing off T2 the peak collaboration twixt Cameron and Schwarzenegger, comes this surprisingly weird comedy/spy flick that's broad in humour, precise in action and liberal with physics. When all is said and done it's really Jamie-Lee Curtis' movie.We also pitch our usual nonsense.

Mar 301:11:39Tap to summarizeHighlander 2 may be an absolute circus fire regardless of which version you watch but there is much to love. Some to love.A couple of bits.Hear us out...
Transcribe →Episode 53 - Raw Deal & Ron Hercules: God Cop
Feb 1601:11:55Tap to summarizeIf you go looking for classic Schwarzenegger in this weirdly low-key romp you might get no satisfaction, yet there is plenty of joy sprinkled in to it's stodgy body.It's like whoever baked this cake might have been a bit tipsy.
Transcribe →Episode 52 - Flash Gordon & Defenders of the Earth: The Movie
Jan 1801:21:45Tap to summarizeOut of the sky, our rockets ignite, we jet into battle it's the... Hardcasters... That got away from me a bit there - but we're back for season 3 and we are blasting off with an out of genre selection but a banger all the same - Flash Gordon!
Transcribe →Hard Christmas 4: Hot Pudding
Dec 22, 202401:02:55Tap to summarizeChristmas time, mistletoe and Lethal Weapon. That's right, we finally get to THE buddy cop movie of the 80s! Plus we pitch our own festive buddy cop blow out: Hot Craps! Warning - we talk about suicide quite a fair bit.
Transcribe →Episode 51 - G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra & Uniforce
Dec 12, 202401:27:50Tap to summarizeIndulge two middle-aged children of the 80s (more than usual) as snuggle ourselves in the warm blanket of nostalgia that is G.I.Joe. We loved the G.I.Joe toyline (Action Force if you're nasty) and whatever critical merit this movie does or does not have is second to its uncanny ability to mimic the joy of smashing plastic together as kids. We felt this context would bring you a little closer to us, perhaps help you feel like you know us a little more. After all; knowing is almost 50% of the struggle.
Transcribe →Hard Ween 3: Hardest Ween
Nov 18, 202400:54:21Tap to summarizeWhat? ANOTHER halloween special? In November? Well it would be scary if your were expecting it. What is contained within this shocker? That would be telling... It's Chuck Norris vs Slasher movie Silent Rage. It's not great.
Transcribe →Hard Ween 2: One Harder Ween
Oct 31, 202401:09:25Tap to summarizeIt's the spookiest time of the year again but don't be afraid as the Hardcasters have your back (well, we're hiding behind it). We won't spoil what's in store for you but rest assured it's 100% TREAT. So get stuck in!
Transcribe →Episode 50 - Romancing the Stone & The Perils of Tug Handy
Jul 24, 202401:19:09Tap to summarizeJoin us on an exciting and romantically charged adventure into rainforest as we revisit this fun-filled classic. It may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of action cinema but there is plenty of the kinds of thrills, chases and suspect clothing choices we love here at Hardcasters central. Then we bang on about obscure British celebs as per usual.
Transcribe →Episode 49: Maniac Cop 2 & Minotaur Cop
Jun 19, 202401:07:41Tap to summarizeDePlume and Visage discuss the amazing stunt work and location photography of Maniac Cop 2 and then, obviously, talk at length about a cop that's a minotaur. It's all business as usual here at Hardcasters HQ.
