With the reigning governments in both Canada and the United States spurting their last few dribbles, we're in a bit of a political limbo period... so what better time to watch a bad direct-to-video '80s action movie? We discuss something called NASTY HERO (1987). PLUS: Obama and Trump, the Canadian Liberal Party leadership race, Armond White, and a few words on the passing of David Lynch.

Yes, you can watch NASTY HERO on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_Ry-QtlOEU&t=2113s&ab_channel=HiroyukiTerada%2FDayOffChannel

All the best movie's are on YouTube everyone should try No Contest starring Robert Davis, Andrew Dice Clay, Roddy Piper and Shannon Tweed. It's die hard at a beauty contest

Having seen Twin Peaks: The Return I’m much less inclined to think Lynch was exploiting Pryor. There’s such a focus on age and infirmity and giving you these long scenes with people at the end of their lives, and it comes across as very sincere and respectful. I do kind of get the reaction, when a film like Wild at Heart had a certain “check out these freaks” vibe, but I didn’t get that sense the last time I watched Lost Highway.

Hearing the phrase "Bean Bar" again and getting activated like a sleeper agent

i also wholeheartedly recommend the made-for-TV epic, COCAINE: One Man's Seduction, starring Dennis Weaver... and co-starring Jeffrey Tambor, doing the one thing that Jeffery Tambor does, to hilarious effect. whole thing's on youtube.

I love that even when Armond White is going after an easy target, he can't help but indulge in his worst impulses as a writer. He'd be well within his rights to criticize Alexandra Pelosi for being a hack, but he mixes in all this word salad nonsense that deflates whatever point he's trying to make.

A cluttered, bulbous genre, but let me toss 1991's "Stone Cold" into the mix. Brian Bosworth, Lance Henriksen, and William Forsythe? Amazing. [it's worth remembering that the '80s didn't simply end with the next decade!]

Obama tells fewer outright direct lies than Trump (or Bill Clinton), but he’s arguably more fundamentally dishonest. His whole essence is phony in a way that I think isn’t exactly true of the other two. He’s definitely as big of a narcissist as Trump and much more of one than Clinton. As for celebrity, recall his 60th birthday party where, when he had to shrink the party, he disinvited the politics people that got him where he is and kept the celebrities. That’s Obama.

That’s a fun one. It directly boosts the “clean up on aisle three” line from Cobra. As it should.

Does DFW just assume that Pryor and Hearst were unable to evaluate what it would mean to appear in these very famous director’s movies for themselves to the point that he doesn’t even consider that?

The fight scene and homoeroticism sounds like the alley fight from They Live—such an awesome scene

ChapoFan inParis

A lipreader read Obama and Trump snickering over Carter's bio. Obama was saying "look. at this, it's all about me, me, me!"

"The end of the eschaton... the end of the Telos..." C'mon, man, say the thing!

Since Pod Save America got a mention, they're also upset that Biden didn't give blanket pardons to Liz Cheney or Adam Schiff.

Konstantin Genin

Nasty hero sounds like industry jargon for a type of movie; in this case they didn't bother to fill this type with any token specificity. It seems so intentional that you gotta think for a second that it's satire.

The defining characteristic of an 80s action film-“They looked like Hall and Oates”
