Kick-Ass (2010)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris don homemade superhero suits to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Kick-Ass. Directed by Matthew Vaughn and based on the comic by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., Kick-Ass stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson as high school nerd Dave Lizewski, who decides to take his love of comic books into the real world and become a superhero named Kick-Ass. Unfortunately for Dave, he stumbles into a war between mobster Frank D'Amico (Mark Strong) and the father/daughter vigilante duo Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and Hit-Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) and finds himself in way over his head. Zach and Chris discuss Nicolas Cage's wonderfully weird acting choices, the breakout performance of Chloe Grace Moretz, all the red flags surrounding Dave's love interest Katie (Lyndsy Fonseca), some of the differences between the comic and the movie, and more. You can watch Kick-Ass on Plex or rent/buy it from services like Prime Video and Fandango at Home.
