130: SLY JULY: Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 06:00:00 -0500

This week, it's another entry in Sly July! On this episode, we talk a movie that Sylvester regrets making, and we pretty much regret watching. Stallone plays Joe, a 40 something police officer whose Mom shows up unannouced and starts getting all up in his bitness. What is supposed to be played as charming is anything but. Joe's mom emotionally suffocates him, then plays the victim when Joe asks for space. Joe's mom finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation, which reveals an insurance scam. The main conflict takes a backseat to Joe's mom being an overbearing nuisance. However, we are not to feel bad for Joe, because at the end of the day he's a spineless mama's boy who only proves he can't make any positive momentum in life without her.
We'd say we felt sorry for Sly for getting roped into this mess, but he probably got paid more money then we'll see in our life time. So he can wipe his tears with his wad of hundreds, and we'll just suffer through Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot, this week on the Radkast!

129: SLY JULY: Demolition Man

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Fri, 14 Jul 2023 06:00:00 -0500

This week on the show, Sly plays cavalier police officer John Spartan, who ends up in a cryo prison due to an incident on the job. In the year 2032, the city of San Angeles is a utopia where all manner of violence has been all but erradicated. However, the peace of this brave new world is about to be disrupted when notorious criminal, and ultimate cause of Spartan's imprisonment, Simon Phoenix is freed to snuff out a potential threat to the city's order. Phoenix goes rouge and starts wreaking havoc the likes the city's police force has never experienced. The only way to combat this is by freeing John Spartan to face off against his old foe. Despite the percieved sanctity of San Angeles, Sly finds out that everything is not what it seems.
A man out of time, social commentary, and one-liners abound, it's Demolition Man this week on the Radkast!

128: SLY JULY: Stallone in the 90's

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 06:00:00 -0500

This week on the show, we kick off Sly July by rambling a bit about some of Sylvester Stallone's movies from the 90's! We talk movies like Cliffhanger, The Specialist, Copland, and Assasins...but with a twist. Instead of taking days out of our week to watch through all of Stallone's 90's catalogue, we decided to only watch the trailers for all those movies, and summarize what we think they're about based upon what's presented there!

A little closer to the end, Sly's underwhelmingly less famous brother Frank might just make an appearance into the fray. Whether we're totally wrong, or on the money, we had fun with this concept, and hope you do listening to it!
