It's time for Blunt force trauma (the alternate title) as we discuss three thrillers starring London's own Emily Blunt. Don't worry! She gets to be drunk in all three of them! Oh, and Kevin came all the way from Hollywood (CA) to be on this episode! WILD TARGET (2010, Jonathan Lynn) SICARIO (20`15, Denis Villenueve) THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN (2016, Tate Taylor)

Next main feed ep drops next Wednesday, Sept 2! First Wednesday of the month for main feed, second and fourth Wednesday for Patreon eps! That's the gist of this very special episode.

Hard to say what connects these three films with each other. I mean, other than the fact that they're all about sexy rampaging predator alien ladies who are constantly naked—a superficial connection, at best. They all take place in the northern hemisphere, that's gotta count for something, right? LIFE FORCE (1985, Tobe Hooper) SPECIES (1995, Roger Donaldson) UNDER THE SKIN (2013, Jonathan Glazer)

Put down that joystick! What if I told you there was a kind of video game that you can play without having to do anything at all? All of the character depth and story coherence of a video game, but all you have to do is sit there and stare at it? It's called a "movie" and we're talking about three of them! HITMAN (2007, Xavier Gens) MAX PAYNE (2008, John Moore) UNCHARTED (2022, Ruben Fleischer)

You may have heard of the wild (wild) west before, and you've probably heard of ladies before. But what about ladies IN the wild (wild) west? It's an idea just crazy enough to work one out of three times! BAD GIRLS (1994, Jonathan Kaplan) THE QUICK AND THE DEAD (1995, Sam Raimi) BANDIDAS (2006, Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg)

Super Vehicles: one of the best micro-genres out there. You take some kind of conveyance, be it a boat or a blimp or what have you, and you super it up! Not much to it, that's why exactly 2/3 of all Super Vehicle movies are great, just like the three below. BLUE THUNDER (1983, John Badham) CYCLONE (1987, Fred Olen Ray) STEALTH (2005, Rob Cohen)

What happens when the cliche-ridden dream factory of Hollywood clashes with the hard bitten realities of genuine cops and/or pilots? We find out, with three Hollywood movies that accurately demonstrate the difference between true life and make-believe! THE HARD WAY (1991, John Badham) INTO THE SUN (1992, Fritz Kiersch) HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE (2003, Ron Shelton)

Brat Pack luminary Molly Ringwald made a string of thrillers in the mid to late 90's, playing the villain, the victim, and some lady who works in an office. Was she able to replicate her teen idol success of the 80's? The answer may or may not surprise you! MALICIOUS (1995, Ian Corson) OFFICE KILLER (1997, Cindy Sherman) REQUIEM FOR MURDER (1999, Douglas Jackson)

Before he was Frank Drebin, before he had a special set of skills, before he was Schindler, tall Irish actor Liam Neeson already had a decade plus in the biz. The men he played were always tall, but not always Irish, and that's where the trouble began. NEXT OF KIN (1989, John Irvin) UNDER SUSPICION (1991, Simon Moore) RUBY CAIRO aka DECEPTION (1992, Graeme Clifford)

We figured now was probably the perfect time to do an episode about nuclear annihilation! We're talking about three very different movies involving The Bomb, all of which seem to agree that it would be pretty bad if one went off. WAR GAMES (1983, John Badham) MIRACLE MILE (1988, Steve De Jarnatt) THE SUM OF ALL FEARS (2002, Phil Alden Robinson)
