It's an absolute s**tshow this week fam. The Boys are joined by the always amazing Jordan Crucchiola to talk Ma Dong-seok's one punch prowess, Sofia Banks Black Site and the rise of a new DTV all-star, and Mike tries to articulate his issues with RRR. Vyce graduates and Liam is the King of Cannes! It's a packed episode so please enjoy!

The Boys needed some boys time this week, so no guests and kind of a scattered episode as only they can do! We congratulate Vyce on his new job and Mike takes some time to talk mental health and what Taylor Hawkins meant to him. Then The Boys dive into the Eraser Reborn trailer and 25 years later DTV sequels, move on to Avatar and Halo, and Vyce gives his in-depth review of RRR.

It's Vyce's birthday and for some reason he decided to spend it with us. It was worth though because the boys are joined by the ever brilliant Scott Mendelson from Forbes. We talk the Bullet Train trailer, spend a lot of time on a spoiler filled discussion of The Batman, before trying to answer why the action in most comic book movies is so uninteresting.

Trigger warnings: The boys talk PTSD, war, anxiety, sexual and domestic assault. Nothing too graphic but we understand if you want to take a pass on this one.

We're missing Liam this week but he still gives you all love for the LiamforMK2 movement and left us with a special message. But Mike and Vyce are joined by a more than adequate (MIke might even say better) replacement with the godfather of action cinema writing Outlaw Vern. The boys talk Clean, The 355, the new Masters of the Universe and Tiger Claws, and how Vinegar Syndrome, MVD and others are creating amazing physical releases of 90's action classics

The boys start off by thanking Julien Rico Jr. for the amazing new artwork and Ram Khat for the amazing new theme. Then they tackle the new Liam Neesons trailer Blacklight, Liam talks seeing Wrath of Man, and then Vyce takes the lead to discuss how the January dumping ground is just no longer true and January movies do in fact rule. 

With the industry basically shutting down for a week, the boys thought it would be fun to do a mailbag. Questions cover everything from best fight scenes, to Netflix numbers, to who would win in a Kumite (It's Mike since he owns ALL the swords)

Some of you may know that for the last few years Vyce has done an annual retrospective for Veteran's Day on the year in war films. We're a bit late, but this year he's bringing to the podcast and has graciously asked Mike to come along for the ride. We promise, you do not want to miss this episode.  Check out Vyce's previous written versions on Lewton Bus below!

Matt's Review

Liam, Vyce and Mike talk about some of their favorite action movies they've watched this year that they think people are sleeping on and should check out.

The lads start off by talking about the state of the world, which let's be honest sucks. They also talk about remakes and why if you aren't excited for a new Timo movie you need to fix your soul. Then they get into Never Back Down: Revolt, a movie which leaves them all feeling conflicted. Liam talks a little about Bruised and the amazing Halle Berry, Mike talks Rocky vs. Drago, and Vyce and Mike sing the praises of The Fable and why all action fans need to check them out ASAP.
