Everything Actioncast

This week on the Everything Actioncast, whoever wins, we lose because we're talking about 2004's AVP: Alien vs. Predator, which came out 20 years ago this week. There's also a new Alien movie, Alien: Romulus, in theaters right now. Directed by schlockmeister Paul WS Anderson, AVP: Alien vs Predator pits the two intergalactic entities against each other in an Antarctic pyramid discovered by Weyland Industries.  The company's head, Charles Weyland (Lance Henriksen) wants to claim the structure in his name as one last grand action before he dies from a terminal disease and he assembles a team that includes scientists, drillers and Alexa Woods (Sanaa Lathan), an expert guide in arctic environments.  The group explores the pyramid but soon finds themselves caught between the Xenomorphs and the Predators, with the pyramid being a training ground for young Predator warriors to prove themselves or die in a rite of passage.  Zach and Chris discuss how there was over a decade of hype for this battle from the comics and games, the lack of any interesting kills thanks to the PG-13 rating, how the Antarctic environment doesn't affect anything, how quickly most of the Predators die, and more. You can watch AVP: Alien vs Predator on Hulu.  Next week, we're talking about John Woo's action classic The Killer as the new version, also directed by Woo, hits Peacock.

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris get shell-shocked by the 2014 version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which came out 10 years ago this week. The new TMNT animated series, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is also out on Paramount+. Produced by Michael Bay, Megan Fox stars as April O'Neil, who is trying to break her way into becoming a legitimate reporter at Channel 6 News and investigating a series of high-tech crimes around New York City perpetrated by The Foot, a group of mysterious mercenaries.  April learns that a group of vigilantes are fighting The Foot and is shocked to learn that they are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Zach and Chris talk about the decision to make April have the Turtles and Splinter as pets as a kid, her insane conspiracy theory attempts to convince people what is going on, the location of Eric Sacks's (William Fichtner) mountain estate in relation to NYC, Shredder's Transformers style mech suit, the roided-out look of these TMNT and more. You can watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Paramount+ or PlutoTV. Next week, we'll be caught in the battle of Alien vs. Predator as that movie celebrates its 20th anniversary and Alien: Romulus hits theaters. We want to hear your comments and feedback.

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris sharpen their claws and discuss 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the first time Wade Wilson/Deadpool and Wolverine shared the screen before this weekend's Deadpool & Wolverine. The fourth film released in Fox's X-Men franchise, X-Men Origins: Wolverine sought to show the origins of Logan (Hugh Jackman) and how he became the adamantium-clawed amnesiac we met in the first X-Men movie, which includes his relationship with his brother Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber). What we got was a mess of a film full of contradictions to things we already saw in the previous movies, atrocious CG, and the absolute abomination that is Weapon XI, aka Deadpool. The guys talk about all that, plus the only live-action appearance of Gambit, the fantastic opening credits, how the video game adaptation is the better version, the infamous workprint leak, and more.

For the latest Everything Action Commentary, Zach and Chris are joined again by special guest Phil from Digital Pimp [http://digitalpimponline.com/] to watch another terrible comic book movie, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. In the final Superman film starring Christopher Reeve, the madmen at The Cannon Group acquired the rights to Superman, even though they were hemorrhaging money, and pitted the Man of Steel against a radioactive glam rock villain, Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow) as part of Lex Luthor's (Gene Hackman) scheme.  Margot Kidder, Marc McClure, and Jackie Cooper return as Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White, respectively, while Jon Cryer co-stars as Lex's nephew Lenny, and Mariel Hemingway plays the horny new editor of The Daily Planet, Lacy Warfield.  While watching the movie, the guys discuss how it seems like Gene Hackman had no restrictions on his wardrobe or set design, how most of the movie is a wacky 80s sitcom, Nuclear Man's absurd weakness to darkness, the bonkers gym scene, and more. You can watch Superman IV: The Quest for Peace on Max.  Sync up the movie with our commentary to watch along.
