    Great podcast !
    Know this dude from Masterpancake (I’m at a showing right now and can see the back of his head ) always a blast

    Desperado & Cuidad Acuña
    Really loved the Desperado episode, guys. My fiancée grew up in Del Rio across the U.S. border from Cuidad Acuña where this movie was filmed. The depiction of U.S. college students walking randomly into a border town bar is 100% accurate. You mentioned the bar they filmed at is there to this day, Club Corona. Listeners may be interested to learn the walls are covered with behind the scenes photographs of cast and crew. It’s fun to have a michelada at the bar Cheech and QT got shot at. Keep up the Mount Punching

    Bot out to bankrupt Mac and David
    Missing the Mascot Wedding Show? Feel like you don’t watch enough action movies? Think Passenger 57 is the greatest action film of all time, but not sure if you’re objective enough to understand its true place in the definitive ranking of action movies? Or just want to listen to a wholesome friendship through the filter of excellent action movie reviews? The mountain beckons.

    A roundhouse kick to the dopamine!
    Really loving the show, fellas. Great to hear you two goofin again. It is refreshing to hear movies discussed for their enjoyability and not necessarily their artistic merit. One question is lingering for me: what does “mark out” mean exactly? I have never heard this phrase before this show and i am curious about its origins. Love you. Miss you.

    ALL THE STARS
    So much fun— I rolled in with the Poseidon Adventure episode and loved every minute. Mac and David are not only hilarious but insightful— I’m LOL’ing but also learning about film/narrative concepts as we go. This is highly entertaining and just an easy/fun listen. My partner and I now have our work cut out for us to go watch the other movies one by one just so I can listen to David and Mac talk about them after. THANK YOU!!
  • Liza with an L
    Excellent
    I love this podcast because not only is it a good recommendation for action movies, it also warns me about scenes in which I need to close my eyes (The wolf and snake scene in Prey). But most importantly, it’s hilarious. Love me some Mac and David!
  • SATXATX
    Great stuff
    Hilarious podcast with some of Austin’s funniest. Thank you for existing. If you haven’t listened, you’re missing out.

    Action Movie Dork Out
    As a longtime action movie aficionado, this podcast seems like it was made for me. Mac and David are really funny and reliving some of the greatest action movies in history every week is a blast. Give this a spin unless you’re friggin’ LOSER.
