We made it, folks! 200 episodes! What a journey it's been! We've made many friends and even more enemies! Luckily for this momentous occasion we were able to scrape the fringes of our friend base and cook up a corker of a celebration this week with our pals Fnord, Cody, Johnny Wolfenstein, El Goro, Dynamo Marz and of course Wes and Kelly. They join us for reviews of four of the heaviest hitters we've ever taken a swing at including, but not limited to, John Carpenter's Escape From New York, Mark Lester's Class of 1984, Walter Hill's The Warriors and John Woo's Face/Off. So slap on a diaper because this one's a long haul! e-mail: cultofmuscle@gmail.com facebook: Facebook.com/groups/cultofmuscle tumblr: cultofmuscle.tumblr.com merch: Redbubble.com/people/cultofmuscle/shop

This week the muscle clan is joined by long time boyfriend of the show, Cody, and he comes all the way from Texas bringing hugs, kisses and maybe a little butt play if y'all are lucky. In addition to the love fest he also helps us parse out our long gestating feelings regarding Ridley Scott's machismo fest, Gladiator and attempts to assemble the jigsaw puzzle that is Bad Company (1995). It's a fat and healthy one, boyos, so pop them ear things in and have at 'er!

1997 was the year that brought us Rutger Hauer dry humping in his trenchcoat in a public shower and it also brought us Judge Reinhold in his skivvies doing karate in his apartment. So we decided to celebrate this wonderful moment in time by doing reviews of the Rutger Hauer dystopian future by way of Nu Image Films called Redline and we also tackled the sequel to the Thomas Ian Griffith dtv classic Crackerjack that had Judge Reinhold stepping into those boots in Crackerjack 2!

The boys are still in vacay mode after the fallout from the big 2016 end of year bonanza so they decide to slooooow things down a little and partake in some off-kilter criminess by way of Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans and Chris McQuarrie's The Way of the Gun. Don't fret though, despite the slower pace they still discover enough energy for a few giggles and several granny hand slaps along the way.

The year of our lord 2016 has come to a close and it's our God bound duty as Americans (and kinda sorta as a Canadian) to talk about all the junk we watched, loved and hated last year. Too much alcohol is imbibed, dirty laundry is aired, dumb arguments are had and bonds are permanently stressed to their breaking points as the worst year in human history is summed up in one 7 hour gelatinous mass of hate and anger! Send us your opinions of stuff at: cultofmuscle@gmail.com Come hang out in our friend pit at: facebook.com/groups/cultofmuscle Look at our tumblr junk at: cultofmuscle.tumblr.com Buy a shirt or something at: redbubble.com/people/cultofmuscle/shop

This week CD-R attempts to baffle poor Jakey with two very unique, very different kinds of mysteries. The mystery of how a Hollywood film production can feature full frontal child nudity along with the mysteries entombed in Jean Jacques Annaud's The Name of the Rose and Arthur Penn's Night Moves!
