This week we discuss two kings(?) of action, new and old in the "Tomcat" and Chuck Norris (now with added wet mullet!). We kick things off with Chucky in Vancouver doing his best to prove that he's a very good and nice cop who also happens to murder with impunity in The Hit Man (1991). Then we head to the mystical streets of Prague with Tom Cruise and his coin stuffed shoes to kick off one of THE premier blockbuster franchises, helmed by Dr. Split Diopter, Brian DePalma in Mission Impossible (1996) Feedback: cultofmuscle@gmail.com Facebook: facebook.com/groups/cultofmuscle Merch: redbubble.com/people/cultofmuscle/shop |

This week CDR airlifts in two megastinkers with highly toxic levels of ineptitude capable of an extinction level event. First, we climb like the squirrel in the Native Americansploitation stalk and chase Noir thriller, Warpath (2001). Then we head on up to Northern Ontario with the Arnie entourage and watch the honorable Gov. Jesse Ventura and Sven-Ole Thorsen run through shallow creek beds in Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe (1991) Feedback: cultofmuscle@gmail.com Facebook: facebook.com/groups/cultofmuscle Merch: redbubble.com/people/cultofmuscle/shop |

This week Jake delivers the pathos from the East and West in two, dramatically different, but no less dramatic picks. First, we kick things off with the updated Wuxia tragedy from master Sammo Hung, starring Andy Lau and an Orca named Wayne in Moon Warriors (1993). Then we head on down to Bummertown, USA (pop. 2) with Viggo Mortensen's depressingly square butt cheeks and a whole lot of cannibalism in John Hillcoat's The Road (2009) Feedback: cultofmuscle@gmail.com Facebook: facebook.com/groups/cultofmuscle Merch: redbubble.com/people/cultofmuscle/shop |

CDR can't leave the early 2000s alone and it's become a problem. Is there any film as indicative of it's era as Stephen Sommer's 2004 Universal Monster-packed trash epic, Van Helsing? We're gonna try to find out and Jake's far from happy about it! Then, we bring master of machismo Walter Hill back to the show with his stab at classic Noir via comic book aesthetics in Johnny Handsome (1989) while trying and failing not to talk about Mickey Rourke's dramatic face arc.
