We're Back! After an enforced hiatus (technical issues) we have returned to once again look at the best, worst and all things in-between of 90s action cinema. On todays show Scott is joined DTV expert Matt Poirier (DTVC podcast) to talk about the biggest film of 1996, "Independence Day."Over the course of the podcast we talk about the film's epic ensemble cast, those groundbreaking special effects and how, for all its obvious flaws, this is still pretty much perfect popcorn Summer Blockbuster filmmaking. Plus, we get into the ups and downs of Roland Emmerich's directorial career, how this film cemented Will Smith as a future superstar and how Jeff Goldblum is the absolute MVP of this film. We also go off into a lot of side tangents and, of course, get into Bill Pullman delivering the greatest speech movie history.

Host Scott is joined by special returning guest Adam Thornton (Films That Time Forgot) to talk about the now semi-forgotten Arnie flick "Eraser."Over the course of the episode Scott and Adam discuss what makes this the last Classic Arnie Era film, why this was a hit at the time but seems to faded from memory now and debate whether "Eraser" had franchise potential. Plus, we get into how director Chuck Russell deals with the action in his first large scale action flick (his background being horror and comedy), theorise why Vanessa Williams didn't get more action roles and extol the virtues of James Caan as the villain.

On todays show Scott is joined DTV expert Matt Poirier (DTVC podcast) to talked about forgotten Natasha Henstridge/Christopher Lambert sci-fi actioner "Adrenalin: Fear the Rush."Over the course of the episode Matt gives us his insight into the career of late DTV favourite director Albert Pyun while we also get into this particular feature productions battle (namely the 110 minute directors cut being slashed to a mere 76) and it's difficult. Plus, we wonder what Natasha Hendstrige's career could have been with a few different decision as well as celebrating our man Lambert for being his usual cool self (even if his character is kind of useless here).You can check out all of Matt's great work on DTV films here"All '90s Action, All The Time" is Produced & Edited by Scott Murphy.

On today's pod Scott is joined by another very special first time guest Jon Cross (Host of the After Movie Diner and PM Entertainment Podcast) to talk about the obscure Anna Nicole Smith led Die Hard knock off "Skyscraper."Over the course of the episode we talk about behind the scenes shenanigans, whether this is a true "so bad, its good" film and just how closely it sticks to the Die Hard formula (It's Die Hard...in a Skyscraper! Which is just Die Hard, right). Plus, we deep dive into the whole Anna Nicole Smith of it all. "All '90s Action, All The Time" is Produced & Edited by Scott Murphy. Music by Elyssa Vulpes.

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.

Host Scott is joined by special guest Caleb Knutson (Caleb Watches Movies) to talk all about Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. Over the course of the episode we talk about how the film came to be, the multiple productions issues that best the film and decide whether it is bad as reviewers thought at the time. Plus, we get into the joy of Ivan Ooze, just how 90s the film is and celebrate the late great Jason David Frank's contribution to the Power Ranger franchise.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.
