Host Scott is joined for our annual "Chanuary" edition by special guest Scott Wiley (Action Addicts) to talk about the underrated First Strike (AKA Jackie Chan's First Strike AKA Police Story 4: First Strike).Over the course of the episode we talk about the film's odd place in the Police Story franchise, the usual Jackie stunts and shenanigans and how even although this is mid-tier Jackie this still has some top-tier action sequences. Also, we debate if the Hong Kong cut had been the only one released, would its reputation be higher? (Answer: Probably not). "All '90s Action, All The Time" is Produced & Edited by Scott Murphy.

Craig and I complete our 1995 journey with a Yuletide edition looking at that old Xmas classic...eh..."Money Train."Over the course of the episode we talk about the chemistry between Snipes and Harrelson, Jennifer Lopez before she was JLo and how there is whole lot less Money Train than you would assume from a movie called Money Train. Plus, we get into how this films tries to be four films at once, how it ended it up being surprisingly controversial on release and how this forgotten 90s actioner had one of the largest (or certainly the longest) sets ever constructed built for it.Send us a tweet on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@90saction⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"All '90s Action, All The Time" is Produced & Edited by Scott Murphy.

Hosts Scott and Craig take a look at the Robert Rodriguez action classic "Desperado."Over the course the episode we talk about what a blast this bare bones actioner still is, how in Rodriguez films the "Rule of Cool" is always paramount and how Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek are one of the most beautiful pairings ever put on screen. Plus, we get into whether this film is a remake or sequel, Tarantino's acting chops and how the El Mariachi character evolves over the course of the Mexico trilogy.

Host Scott is joined by special guest Liam H Dempsey to deep dive (pun very much intended) into Tony Scott's submarine classic "Crimson Tide."Over the course of the episode we talk about whether this is Tony Scott's best movie, whether it is the best submarine movie ever and how the film seems even better now than it did back in the 90s. Plus, we get into the messy business of how the script got completed (and Tarantino's weird contribution to it), how the navy were not a fan of this production and, of course, we talk extensively about the heavyweight act-off between the late, great Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington.

Host Scott is joined by special returning guest film director Adam Stovall ("A Ghost Awaits") to talk about the JCVD Die Hard knock-off "Sudden Death."Over the course of the episode Adam and Craig express their multiple disgruntlements while Scott tries in vain to defend it as not just a fun movie, but a good one. However, their is one thing that they can all agree on and that is the greatness of Powers Boothe in the film. Plus, we dive way more into Ice Hockey history than anyone was expecting for a brief period.You can watch “A Ghost Waits” ⁠hereSend us a tweet on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@90saction⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"All '90s Action, All The Time" is Produced & Edited by Scott Murphy.
