Ep92 - Die Hard 2 (1990) with Matt Bledsoe

Today we are joined by returning podcasting veteran Matt Bledsoe from the Film Feast Podcast to discuss the sequel to one of the best (and hotly debated) Christmas movies of all time, Die Hard 2. Starring Bruce Willis once again as John Mclane, this time taking our bad guys in an airport rather than a big tower. Does this one jingle our bells or do we find the sequel lacking? Listen and find out!

Ep91 - Battle for Saipan (2023) with Casper Van Dien, Louis Mandylor and Brandon Slagle

Joining me this week we have a trifecta of talent that is somewhat unbelievable. Here to discuss an underappreciated movie that flew under a lot of peoples radar we have a man who is used to having people yell "KILL EM ALL!" at him as part of his daily life, it's Casper Van Dien. We have boxer turned actor and director Louis Mandylor and we have returning guest, actor turned director Brandon Slagle.


We are all gathered together to discuss a 10 day torture session they all experienced which was edited together into a movie titled 'Battle for Saipan'. I loved every moment of talking to these guys and getting to speak with Casper and Louis was a huge moment for both the show and myself personally. So sit back, relax and enjoy some crazy stories, great memories, the comradery and the laughter of todays episode.

Ep90 - A Conversation with Peter Shinkoda

Today we sit down and spend a couple hours talking with Peter Shinkoda. Most recently starring opposite Scott Adkins in Prisoner of War, soon to be sharing the screen with Bob Odenkirk in Normal. Previously you could find him as Dai in Falling Skies, Sektor in Mortal Kombat Legacy and of course, Nobu in Netflix's Daredevil. You can also see him as Ben Takeda on Salvage Marines but we don't really talk about that one.


We talk Prisoner of War, being directed by Louis. His experiences in the pandemic, the state of the industry, cultural differences of east and west, his very early work, perfecting accents and random bits in between.

Ep89 - American Ninja 2 (1987) with Angel G Brophy

This week on Action Addicts, we’re diving head-first into one of the wildest, most gloriously unhinged entries in the Cannon Films canon: American Ninja 2: The Confrontation. Michael Dudikoff and Steve James return as Armstrong and Jackson, the coolest duo to ever punch their way through an island full of ninjas. We’re talking shadowy crime lords, genetically engineered super-ninjas, beach-bar brawls, shirtless heroics, and that unmistakable Cannon energy that feels like action movie comfort food.

We unpack the film’s over-the-top plot, the unmatched chemistry between Dudikoff and James, the escalation from straightforward martial arts to full-on comic-book sci-fi madness, and why this sequel has become a cult favourite for fans who want their action bold, bonkers, and blissfully sincere. Expect talk of weapon-clashing set-pieces, 80s charm, and the simple joy of watching Jackson wipe the floor with entire rooms of bad guys.


We also go incredibly off topic so bare with us...

Ep88 - Green Street 3: Never Back Down (2013) with Dan Grima

Step into the ring with Green Street 3: Never Back Down! We revisit Scott Adkins’ brutal, action-packed turn in the cult football-firm sequel — where East End loyalty meets MMA fury. From the fight choreography to the franchise’s gritty reinvention, this is a deep dive into one of Adkins’ most underrated brawlers.

Or at least it would have been if my returning guest Dan Grima and I didn't go on so many tangents!

We revisit the 2012 sequel that united Stallone, Statham, Schwarzenegger, Willis, and Van Damme for the ultimate ‘80s-style shootout. From Van Damme’s villainous turn to Chuck Norris’ legendary cameo, we break down what makes this over-the-top sequel pure action nostalgia at its loudest and most entertaining.
