Episode Episode 23: Against the Dark (2009) (Brawloween)
The boys kick off Brawloween (the spookiest of all action movie months) with the Steven Seagal vampire/zombie/meth-head action flick, Against the Dark. If each zombie movie trope creates a beautiful piece of the rainbow, this movie takes all those colors and swirls them all together into one hideous brown mess. The boys get really political about those clowns down in D.C. and try to figure out what, exactly, the military does in this movie. This one gets super long because the guys have to stop and ask what is happening a billion times because nothing happens in the movie, at all, and they wander up and down like three hallways repeatedly. There’s a programming announcement at the end of the podcast, as well.
Against the Dark is streaming on Amazon Prime.
Next week, the podcast will take a look at 1986’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2: Chop-Top Jones and the Temple of Doom (okay I made up that second half). This is also streaming on Amazon Prime and stars Dennis Hopper!
There will be no further preactions due to scheduling issues (outside of specific one-offs), so that we can focus our attention on the films!
