334 Last Action Hero (Look! Ahahlahphant!!)
from The Post Credit Podcast Hosted by Matt and Drew
On today's episode of The PCP we revisit a movie ahead of its time, Last Action Hero. This week we make the case that this movie, perhaps, would be better recieved today as a spoof of the plethora of movies in the 80s and 90s whose plot bore similar to this: A badass action hero in jeans and snakeskin boots, impervious to death, filled with one-liners, who always wins no matter what. Join us as we try to explain what makes Arnold's particular brand of comedy work, how foreshadowing plays out in this movie world, and why some old-school tropes need to return as we examine a fictional man, made aware of his imagined existence and how he struggles with pain and death for the very first time. This movie has heart, fantasy, action, Sonya Blade, the T-1000, a cartoon cat, and a mobster named Leo The Fart.. Guess what he does?... I miss the 90s.. Roll it!
