The Last Row Podcast turns thirty episodes old! Drew and Badway celebrate by discussing and enjoying the Cage/Travolta masterpiece, Face/Off! Key topics include: that weird face-touch move the Archers do, Castor Troy’s villain box of goodies, the absurdity of using a Wilhelm Scream on a toe shot, preserving Travolta’s face in a bowl of water, and pointing out the OBVIOUS reason why a wife could tell her real husband isn’t in bed with her. Eventually, the guys get serious and analyze the number one rule of surviving a Mexican Standoff, question the accuracy of moviebodycounts.com, and argue whether a speedboat or an airplane is a better getaway vehicle.
In the spirit of this summer’s movie slate, Drew and Badway roll out another sequel to The Last Row’s On Demand series. The guys break down the Summer Blockbusters set for release (spoiler alert: superheroes and sequels dominate), giving their quick takes on Captain America: Civil War, TMNT2, X-Men #412, Independence Day Not Starring Will Smith, The Purge 56, Now You See Me 2 (this one’s not a joke, they really made a 2nd one), a few “Space Movies” and much more. Other topics include: The new Star Wars Rogue One trailer, Badway’s love of MTV’s The Real World (yes he’s over 30, sad), favorite underappreciated 90s flicks, and a rousing game of “Jack Black Was In That???”
This week on The Last Row Podcast, Drew and Badway analyze the sequel that launched thousands of Knuckle-Pucks across America, D2: The MIghty Ducks. However, the story isn’t as clear as you may have remembered it from twenty plus years ago. Was Gordon Bombay really a great coach, or even a good one? Were any of the Ducks worthy of a spot on team USA? Was Wolf “The Dentist” Stansson more villainous than Hawk’s Coach Riley, or was the Icelandic Crusher merely misunderstood? All of theses questions, and more, are answered in full detail. Other topics include: the possible success of the “Air Bombay,” phony apologies to children, rollerblading, Team USA goonage, Bombay’s improbable stint in the minors, and a quick look at what the cast was up to post-Ducks.
Get your quarters ready, turn up the techno beats, and guard your brother’s soul…It’s time for MORTAL KOMBAT! The Last Row Podcast heads straight into Outworld to break down all of the Toasties, Get Over Here’s, Flawless Victories, and Liu Kang Bicycle Kick Screams you can handle. Drew and Badway uppercut important issues about the Mortal Kombat mythology such as: the accommodations at the tournament, the arbitrary rules for invading dimensions, the questionable fighter selection process, and the betting odds of Liu Kang’s eighty pound little brother versus Shang Tsung. Finally, the guys recast the fighters and debate the best “real life” fighters who would defend Earth if there were a real Mortal Kombat tourney.
Just in time for the Stanley Cup Finals, The Last Row Podcast honors the underappreciated Jean-Claude Van Damme classic, Sudden Death. Drew and Badway have an extensive discussion about the iconic Jean-Claude goalie scene, while pondering his Canadian semi-pro career, his effectiveness (and perhaps overqualification) as a firefighter, and put Darren McCord’s skills up against another fictional hockey legend, Gordon Bombay. The guys also choose the possible fits for other actors in similar logic-defying championship sports roles, recast Sudden Death for the reboot that will never happen, and break down the four different levels of sports mascots and rank them based on fighting prowess.
Love is in the air, as The Last Row Podcast takes the nerd glasses off of She’s All That to reveal its true beauty. No topic is off limits, as Drew and Badway discuss old men playing teenagers, high school DJs, Taylor Vaughan’s bout with PBF (permanent bitch face), and a greased up Paul Walker wrestling Freddie Prinze Jr. in the locker room. The guys also go a bit off the rails to discuss the taboos of step-sibling marriage, revisit MTV’s Real World and Spring Break glory days, review a movie that doesn’t exist: 10 Things I Hate About Losing A Guy, and come full circle to pull a ‘She’s All That’ on She’s All That by turning the laughable teen comedy into an Oscar baiting tour de force.
