“You have this nickname. What is it? Excitement? Enthusiasm? Esprit de corps?”

This week, we’re paying homage to one of the greats as we honor the great Carl Weathers with one of his earliest starring roles that never got a sequel - 1988’s Action Jackson! We talk about how this movie perfectly melds mid-’70s blaxploitation with late-’80s action, the state of action cinema in the late 1980s, our first and greatest experiences with the late, great Mr. Weathers, and intermittently deal with Tucker’s technical issues! R.I.P., Carl Weathers!
