This week Drew and Badway keep the conversation above 50 mph by discussing the adrenaline pumping classic, Speed (starring a freshly buzzed Keanu Reeves, and everyone’s 90s crush, Sandra Bullock). The guys try to make sense of the friendly bus driver’s skeleton hair, debate who pays when a policeman steals and destroys your car, and how to survive a falling elevator by jumping just before it hits the bottom floor. Other topics include: the logistics of a bus launching across a gigantic highway gap, Dennis Hopper’s ranking on the villain scale, and Badway’s wishlist for additional bus passengers. Be sure to stick around to the end for some 100% fact checked (yeah right!) Speed fun facts and trivia.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (EP 61)
There’s no getting around it. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is a terrible movie. That doesn’t stop The Last Row Podcast from having some fun with it! Drew and Badway spend about a minute discussing what went right and about 50 minutes discussing what went wrong, ultimately devolving into a conversation about how the movie compares to the production quality of an “adult film” parody of itself. Things go downhill from there. Prepare yourself. Things get Toasty.

The Substitute (EP 59)
Drew and Badway get an “F+” in attendance when it comes to putting out episodes of The Last Row Podcast lately, so the guys put in a little extra credit with an extended look at the 90s action/thriller The Substitute. Is Tom Berenger a sloppy fighter? Is running drugs through a school really a good plan? Is Juan Lacas an effective gang leader? Why did Marc Anthony look so sickly in this movie? Can you do a love scene with a woman in a full leg cast? So many questions. Take notes, there WILL be a test!

Blank Check (EP 57)
After another small break, Drew and Badway are back to break down Disney’s 1994 classic, Blank Check.

Other topics include the inner workings of the Waters brothers business (Hand and Foot), a return of the villain scale, whether adults should question an 11-year old spending time with a mysterious older businessman named Mr. Macintosh without having met him, and Shay Stanley’s dedication to going undercover. Finally, the guys uncover a 20+ year old movie bombshell, simply known as “Plan 442.”
Point Break (EP 56)
