Do you remember when movies were big events? When blockbusters were reserved exclusively for the summer time? Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the biggest stars in the action genre! With franchises like Terminator and Predator, Arnold has seen more action than most stars. Sometimes those stars can shine bright enough to blind us from their other works. The year is 1993 and the movie is Last Action Hero. The golden ticket for this episode is invading podcast catchers near you. We are transported into the world of your favorite action star, Jack Slater, to dissect this beautiful picture of 90s nostalgia. Grab your soda and popcorn – the show is about to start.
