    Action Hero: Riley Hale


    We are THE LAST ACTION HEROES, the “heroic everyman thrust into an impossible situation and just making it up as we go” of movie podcasts. We are dedicated to ranking the very best and worst of action hero cinema protagonists…and so far…we’re not dead.


    This episode we are blasting out of this crashing plane on ejector seats and landing deep in the desert of Utah as we take on another John Woo classic: BROKEN ARROW (1996).


    Down on his luck stealth bomber pilot RILEY HALE suddenly finds himself thrust into a dangerous game of cat and mouse when his copilot and friend(?) VIC DEAKINS snaps and decides to stick it to the man by hijacking 2 thermal nuclear warheads and ransoming them back to the US for a hefty sum…hefty enough so he can live out his dream of providing safe cars for all the people he’s about to blow up. What a thoughtful guy!


    Can our boyish action hero break the curse of the cookie cutter 90s action stereotype and step up to the challenge of out manoeuvring his nemesis, save America and get the girl (maybe ask her her name first Riles!!)?


    Join us for another action hero tear down to find out!! And definitely do not ‘get to the choppa’ for this film…it doesn’t seem to work out well for those guys!

    Action Hero: The Warriors CAN YOU COUNT, SUCKAS?????!!! We are The Last Action Heroes, a baseball bat wielding, bottle smashing, bloodied fist of a movie podcast and we say the future of action movie heroes is ours if you can count!Now look what we have here before us: This episode we are ducking and weaving through enemy territory for one night only on the mean streets of New York and looking to do some boppin’ as we give THE WARRIORS (1979) a shot at the bigtime. When the leader of the most powerful gang in NY is assassinated at a grand gang summit, the 9 delegates of Coney Island’s The Warriors find themselves framed for the murder and stranded on the wrong side of the city. Hunted by stylish, violent gangs and brutal police, outmanned but never outclassed, our heroes find themselves in for a night of danger as they try to make their way back to their turf alive. Maybe they should have come packed! They’re good. Real good! But how good will they do in our ultimate action hero showdown? Will they bop their way to the top or will they get a bat shoved up their ass and turned into popsicles? There’s only one way to find out! Warrioooorrss….come out to plaaaayyyy-i-aaaayy!!----- Twitter: @TL_ActionHeroesInstagram: @thelastactionheroespodcast

    Action Hero: Morgan Adams PSA: as any sea-dawg worth his salt knows, you can’t embark on a voyage without a good stash of rum…and so, for this voyage on the good ship TLAH the rum was plentiful. Maybe too plentiful. Caution: side effects include giggling, arguments, nonsense and spontaneous rapping. Listener discretion is advised. Avast ye and welcome to The Last Action Heroes, a swashbuckling, eye patch wearing no good swindler of a movie podcast where we rate the very best and worst of Hollywood’s leading lads and lassies. This episode we take to the high seas aboard the Morning Star under Captain Morgan Adams as we race her diabolical uncle to the family jewels in CUTTHROAT ISLAND (1995). After the death of her father Morgan Adams must take command of her fathers vessel and ragtag extras…(sorry we meant crew. Ragtag crew) and prove her piratey worth in securing the biggest bounty on the high seas. Unfortunately her bloodthirsty FOMO uncle is also on the trail so Morgan will have to keep her wits, and her costume changes about her. Can our fair weather leading lady face up to the challenge?? You’ll have to tune in to find out! So buckle up, hoist the anchor and drop the sheets cause it’s time to go a pirating!! And please visit this show again when you have more time.
