HEY, CULTIES! CDR AND CBH THE CANADIAN GREMLINS HAVE SABOTAGED THE FEED AND THEY'RE BRINGING THEIR OWN BRAND OF HALF-ASSED INSANITY TO THE CULT!! This week we busted out a couple reviews chosen by guest co-host Mr. Christian Bates-Hardy of the Great White North. First we traveled to the criminal underworld of Vancouver, British Columbia with the tear-soaked action/crime saga Crying Freeman from 1995, starring Marc Dacascos and the disembodied voice of Ron Perlman. Second up we ventured to the far flung reaches of space and lost ourselves in the kind eyes of Kurt Russel with Paul WS Anderson's space/western epic, SOLDIER. So buckle up, slam a Monster Energy and get ready for serious comic book nerd-rage, monotonous Canadian accents and pain medication fueled nonsense!

This is it! The first episode of The Cult of Muscle! Chris and Jake burst onto the scene like a couple of loose cannons just begging for you to say something about our fannypacks. We dare you! For the very first episode we decide to review two monolithic films from direct John Hyams. We love our JCVD, our Dolph, our Adkins, our Arlovski, so we had to review Universal Soldier: Regeneration and Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning. Buckle in for this family-sized episode, so don't be afraid to get someone to spot for you. If you dig what we do and want to participate in the feedback portion of the show feel free to send an email or mp3 to cultofmuscle@gmail.com or you can ring us at 206-279-2917!
