As One Junky Summer blazes forward, Cargill & I discuss the unapologetically cheesy Arnie actioner Raw Deal. It's a prime example of an undercover cop movie where no one actually understands undercover work and looks like it was made for a total of about $150, but Raw Deal is impossibly entertaining and in its own way facilitated the production of the Total Recall we know and love today.

Raw Deal: The Flop That Gave Us Total Recall - Film School Rejects

Junkfood Cinema explores one of Schwarzenegger's less-successful, but still fun early films. One Junky Summer blazes forward with a film clearly inspired by Miami Vice, but concocted with no understanding of how undercover work actually...you know...works. is a largely forgotten Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner, and honestly its absence from the pop culture collective conscious is well-earned.
