This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris head into the Amazon and discuss 1997's Anaconda, which just received a 4K release, and the new meta reboot is coming out on Christmas.

A documentary crew heads down the Amazon to try and find a fabled lost tribe, but gets hijacked by snake poacher Paul Serone (Jon Voight), who forces the crew to help him hunt down a massive, record-breaking anaconda.  The giant snake has other ideas and starts attacking and eating the crew in increasingly ridiculous ways.  Zach and Chris discuss who would pay $1 million for a massive anaconda, hiding a giant poisonous wasp in a scuba tank, the mechanical snake going haywire and nearly injuring everyone on set, the anaconda's ninja-like speed, and more.

You can watch Anaconda on Netflix.  Next week, we're pulling a heist with Heat, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary.

Anaconda (1997)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, with Five Nights at Freddy's 2 hitting theaters, Zach and Chris dive into one of FNAF's knockoffs, 2023's Freddy's Fridays.

Coming from some of the same team behind the Winnie the Pooh: Blood Honey series, Freddy's Fridays finds a man named Todd Fischer (Jase Rivers) luring sex workers into a creepy murder basement and then forcing them to read Latin text, which summons Freddy (Abu Barry) and his gang of monsters to kill them.  Todd made a deal with Freddy for financial gain, but the cost is nine souls, each sacrificed on a Friday.  The only person seemingly investigating is police officer Lila Jones (Danielle Scott), who eventually goes undercover to find out what's happening to all the missing women.  Zach and Chris discuss whether Freddy and his gang are demons or animatronics, how Todd found his murder warehouse, why Lila's influencer flatmate is a better investigator than the actual police, why Freddy starts breaking his own rules, and more.

You can watch Freddy's Fridays on Tubi or The Roku Channel.  Next week, we're heading into the Amazon to revisit Anaconda as the meta remake is coming out later this month, and the original is getting a new 4K release.

Freddy's Fridays (2023)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris enter the ring for Rocky IV, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary.

Written and directed by Stallone, Rocky IV sees Rocky Balboa living large as the reigning heavyweight boxing champion.  When the Soviet Union introduces its new contender, Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), they want to have an exhibition match with Rocky.  Rocky declines, but Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) accepts instead.  The match begins as a joke but ends in tragedy as Apollo is killed in the ring.  Rocky travels to the Soviet Union for a grudge match against Drago to avenge Apollo's death.  Zach and Chris discuss the movie's killer soundtrack, Paulie reprogramming a sophisticated robot, high-tech vs old-school training, everyone's no-blocking boxing technique, and more.

You can rent Rocky IV on services like Amazon, Google, and Apple.  Next week, we're getting ready for Five Nights at Freddy's 2 with one of its knock-offs, 2023's Freddy's Fridays.

Rocky IV (1985)

For the latest Everything Action Commentary, Zach and Chris celebrate Thanksgiving/Black Friday with 2009's Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

Kevin James is Paul Blart, a mall security guard with dreams of being a police officer, despite failing out of the academy.  On the busy Black Friday shopping day, armed criminals storm the mall with a scheme to rob millions in credit card funds and take several of the mall employees hostage.  While the police surround the mall outside, Paul is the only person not capture inside and gets the chance to save the day and impress the girl of his dreams.  While watching the movie, Zach and Chris discuss how New Jersey it is, Paul seeming like he's on ecstasy while drunk, how many wigs Jayma Mays wears at the same time, why all the criminals are extreme sports athletes and more.

You can watch Paul Blart on Tubi or Starz and sync up the commentary to watch along with the Everything Action crew.

Everything Action Commentary: Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)

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.

The Running Man (1987)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, the hunt is on as Zach and Chris discuss 2010's Predators as Predator: Badlands is now out in theaters.

Produced by Robert Rodriguez and directed by Nimrod Antal, Predators finds a group of killers and soldiers dropped onto an intergalactic game preserve, where they realize they are the prey for a trio of intergalactic hunters.  Zach and Chris discuss Adrien Brody as an action star and clearly doing a Christian Bale-style voice, Laurence Fishburne's unhinged appearance, the classic Predator vs. the new Predators, the insane cast, including Walton Goggins and a pre-famous Mahershala Ali, the sequel comic, and more.

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.
