Revisiting the 95th Academy Awards One Year Later | AJP #15
With the 96th Academy Awards airing tonight (March 10), we thought we'd jump back a year and revisit the 95th edition. After all, it ended up being largely a one-movie show, with Everything Everywhere All at Once nearly sweeping the major categories - something that didn't really sit right with…

Echo 3 Goes Weapons Free on Apple TV | AJP #14
When it was announced that Mark Boal, the award-winning writer of films like The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, was creating a show for Apple TV+, we were incredibly excited and knew we had to cover it here on the pod. Titled Echo 3, this series follows "Bambi" (Luke Evans) and "Prince"…

Acclaimed Films That Are Overrated (Or Just Suck) | AJP #13
At one point or another, we've all watched a movie that's regarded as a tremendous piece of filmmaking - by critics and/or filmgoers - that just didn't impress us. Perhaps it didn't age well, or perhaps it was never that good to begin with. Or maybe, possibly even probably, we're all just wrong…

Hard Target Unrated - Jean Woo's Tour de Force | AJP #12
When action filmmaking legend John Woo finally decided to head to Hollywood, he chose Hard Target (1993) as his first English-language project. Then he was paired with another icon of action, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and the two set out to make shoot-em-up perfection. Buoyed by two fantastic...

Avatar 2: Blue People Do Blue Stuff | AJP #11
After an extended holiday break, Isaac and Will are back to chat about Avatar: The Way of the Water, James Cameron's beautiful follow-up to 2009's smash hit. As lifelong Cameron fans, we're conflicted about the Avatar series, as we long for the good ole days. At the same time, The Way of the…

Utah, Get Me Two... Point Breaks | AJP #10
In our final podcast episode of 2022, Isaac and Will take on the simple yet daunting task of comparing Point Break (1991), an all-time action classic, to its unsuccessful 2015 remake. If you haven't seen the 2015 Point Break, just know that it's basically a perfect example of how NOT to do a...

Sly in the Slammer: A Prelude to Tulsa King | AJP #9
As the first season of Tulsa King rolls on, we thought we'd take a look at some other Sylvester Stallone content that involved him being in and/or leaving prison. After some consideration, we decided to pit Lock Up against Tango & Cash, two 1989 movies that don't rank highly in Stallone's...

Flight Fights - Air Force One vs Executive Decision | AJP #8
For some reason, Hollywood produced a ton of airplane-set, big-budget action movies in the 90s. Today, we're comparing the two that are arguably the best, Executive Decision (1996) and Air Force One (1997). Released in back-to-back years, both films shared many similarities: setting, guns, music,...

The Mummy Sequels: Bringers of Death | AJP #7
A few weeks ago, Isaac and Will did a deep dive into The Mummy Trilogy (1999-2008), aiming to illuminate how and why the sequels failed to live up to the original. It's rare to find a movie series that gets gradually worse every second it continues beyond its first installment, but that's what we...

After Halloween Ends, Does It Need a Resurrection? | AJP #6
Is there a better day to discuss Halloween Ends than October 31? How about to discuss Halloween: Resurrection? Yeah, you're right; it's never a good day to discuss Resurrection. But hey, we did it anyway, comparing the disastrous 2002 slasher to Ends, the latest addition to the Halloween…

We Talk Mann to Mann About Heat 2 | AJP #5
Few films mean as much to Isaac and Will, and Action Juice, as Heat does. This was why we were understandably giddy when Michael Mann announced that he was writing a sequel novel called Heat 2. Now that we've both finished reading it, it's time for us to release our extra-large Heat + Heat 2...

We're Not Too Old for Lethal Weapon 5... Right? | AJP #4
Just a few days ago, there was another update about Lethal Weapon 5, a seemingly unlikely but increasingly impending addition to the Lethal Weapon series. This got Isaac and Will thinking: what would we like to see in a new Lethal Weapon movie? How would we write it? Well, in order to figure that...

A Good Day to [Discuss] Die Hard | AJP #3
Isaac and Will both adore Die Hard, but it's fair to say that not all Die Hards are created equal. Taking that into consideration, they decided to pit them against each other in a Fave/Off: Die Hard (1988) vs Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), followed by Die Hard 2 (1990) vs Live Free or Die Hard...

Prey Has the Dumbest Predator Yet (It's Still Good) | AJP #2
Movie lovers have been abuzz about Prey, 2022's prequel to John McTiernan's 1987 action/sci-fi classic, Predator. But how do Will and Isaac feel about it? As lifelong fans of the franchise, they might be difficult to please. Also discussed: the Road House and Highlander remakes, Thirteen Lives…

The Gray Man Reminds Us Why We Miss the 90s | AJP #1
After introducing themselves via a discussion of 3 scenes that laid the foundation for their action movie fandom, Will and Isaac break down the good and bad of The Gray Man. For $200 million, you'd think Netflix would've gotten more for their money. Also, they share their thoughts on the recent...
