The Running Man
As we enter our second year, we are revisiting the classic good-bad movies that got us into the genre. Leading off is The Running Man (1987), starting a young Arnold Schwarzenegger and Richard Dawson giving it his all. Did this film stand the test of time?
The Beastmaster (1982)
This week we take a look at a fantasy adventure film from the 80’s. It follows a hunky block of wood who can talk to animals. He uses his powers to overthrow an evil wizard. Was this a silly mess that turned out to be a lot of fun or a silly mess that was just a drag? listen to our three minute review below…

Days of Thunder
This student/mentor racing story is set in the world of NASCAR and Tom Cruise and Robert Duvall have a great dynamic on screen. While there were some ups and downs, some great scenes and solid racing kept our hosts engaged in this fast-paced flick.
Lionheart
Jean-Claude Van Damme once again graces the podcast in Lionheart (1990), a film that reprises many of the beats of Van Damme’s breakout piece – Bloodsport. While there were compelling elements, too much didn’t work here to win our hosts over.
John Carter
John Carter is a book adaptation that, like other book adaptations in the big-budget genre, misses on several levels. This week, our host look at this $300M+ piece which flopped at the box office and ended Sci-Fi projects across Hollywood for years.

Won Ton Ton: the Dog Who Saved Hollywood
This week our hosts took on Won Ton Ton a film attempting to parody the animal craze in Hollywood during the 1920’s. The film came to Cup of Tea via Michael’s father – Rich – who saw the movie countless times when he worked in a movie theatre in high school. It wouldn’t have felt right to watch it without him, so this week Cup of Tea welcomes a special guest host, Rich Horecki, to see how the picture stood up decades later!
The Year End Bonanza
We’re doing something a little different this week. We are approaching the first anniversary of our podcast and wanted to celebrate with a mega sized review.
Our hosts watched 61 movies together in 2021 and released most of them on this podcast. Tune in this week for a long-form episode talking through everything we watched this year with behind-the-scenes musings, some enthusiastic Steven Seagal bashing, and another battle over Krull.
Greyhound
Currently streaming on Apple TV, this straight down the line WWII action movie hits the mark for our hosts this week. Tom Hanks, compelling action, and solid historical interpretation combine to put you on the bridge of a destroyer in the North Atlantic in this immersive naval film.
