This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris climb into some mech cockpits and discuss 1990's Robot Jox, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary.

One of the final films from Charles Band's Empire Pictures, Robot Jox is set in a world that was devastated by a nuclear war 50 years earlier.  All conflicts between the two factions that control Earth, The Market and The Confederation, are now done via one on one competitions between giant mechs piloted by robot jox.  Achilles (Gary Graham) is the main jox for The Market while the bloodthirsty Alexander (Paul Koslo) is the jox for The Confederation.  They face off to determine which faction will gain control of Alaska and it's valuable resources.  Zach and Chris discuss the interesting world building on the fringes of the movie, how there should be some more safeguards to stop the mech matches, how it may have influenced things like G Gundam and Pacific Rim, the bizarre jox training exercises and more.

You can watch Robot Jox on Tubi.  Next week, we enter the ring with Rocky and discuss Rocky IV for its 40th anniversary.

Robot Jox (1990)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris tune into everyone's favorite dystopian game show, The Running Man, as the new Edgar Wright-directed take on the Stephen King novel hits theaters.

Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Ben Richards, who is wrongfully imprisoned when he refuses to fire on unarmed civilians during a food riot and is dubbed "The Butcher of Bakersfield" when the footage is doctored to make it seem like he killed numerous civilians.  Escaping prison, Richards is recaptured and forced to be a contestant on The Running Man, a game show hosted by the devious Damon Killian (Richard Dawson), where "Runners" must try to escape from the top killers called "Stalkers."  Zach and Chris discuss how great Richard Dawson is in basically his only major film role, the practicality of fighting in full hockey goalie pads like Sub-Zero (Professor Toru Tanaka), Mick Fleetwood possibly playing himself, the nonsensical Arnold one-liners, and more.

You can watch The Running Man on Paramount+.  Next week, we're discussing another dystopian competition with Robot Jox, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary.

Predators (2010)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris celebrate Halloween with the final (at the time) Jigsaw game, Saw 3D, which came out 15 years ago this week.

Wrapping up the original Saw series, Saw 3D, aka Saw: The Final Chapter, finds Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) trying to kill Jill Tuck (Betsy Russell) to clear up any loose ends so he can escape before he's arrested as the new Jigsaw Killer.  He takes time to set up one final game, this time involving Bobby Dagen (Sean Patrick Flanery), a self-help author who has lied about being a victim of the Jigsaw Killer and is now put through the traps for real.  Zach and Chris discuss why Hoffman keeps making games when he wants to escape, the best traps in the movie, how all the side actors feel distinctly Canadian, John's (Tobin Bell) backward baseball cap disguise, the big reveal of who the ultra-secret Jigsaw apprentice is, and more.

You can watch Saw 3D on Hulu/Disney+.  Next week, we're on the hunt and watching 2010's Predators to get ready for Predator: Badlands in theaters.

Everything Action Commentary: Night of the Demons (1988)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris check into Motel Hell to discuss the 1980 cult horror comedy for its 45th anniversary.

Rory Calhoun stars as Vincent Smith, a genial-seeming farmer and hotel proprietor famous in his area for his various meat products. What no one knows is that Vincent and his sister Ida (Nancy Parsons) are kidnapping and butchering people as the secret ingredient in their meats. After attacking a couple on a motorcycle, Vincent decides to take in Terry (Nina Axelrod) and nurse her back to health, much to Ida's annoyance. Gradually, Terry falls for the laid-back country lifestyle and Vincent's seemingly honest, homespun personality. Zach and Chris discuss Vincent's love of traps and how the hotel should have incorporated them, the process of turning humans into smoked meats, chainsaw duels, Hickory Farms gift boxes, a young John Ratzenberger, and more.

You can watch Motel Hell on AMC+ and Mometu (?). Next week, we close out spooky season with the final chapter of the main Saw series, Saw 3D, which turns 15.

Tom Welling and Maggie Grace star as Nick Castle and Elizabeth Williams, two residents of Antonio Island.

End of Days (1999)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris try not to get mauled by Cujo as another dog-based horror movie, Good Boy, hits theaters.

Based on a novel that Stephen King has no memory of writing because of his alcohol addiction, Cujo follows the Trenton family, Vic (David Hugh Kelly), Donna (Dee Wallace), and Tad (Danny Pintauro), and a rabies-infected St. Bernard named Cujo.  Heading out to a remote mechanic's house to get repairs on her Ford Pinto, Donna and Tad become trapped in the car by Cujo, who has become a bloodthirsty monster from rabies, which came from a bite from a bat.  Zach and Chris discuss how surprisingly long it takes to get to the meat of the story, Vic's cereal ad campaign problems, the deal with Donna's fling Steve (Christopher Stone), how Beethoven was made to counteract the bad reputation of St. Bernards, and more.

You can watch Cujo on PlutoTV or AMC+. Next week, we're on the brink of the apocalypse with Arnold, discussing 1999's End of Days, which is being released on 4K.
