Dion Baia and J. Blake are back, celebrating their 10th anniversary on the podcast. And what better way to celebrate than to take a deep dive into a cult classic film that was notoriously panned when first released but has gained a substantial fanbase, the classic Last Action Hero, from 1993. The boys unpack this movie’s epic failure, the amazing journey with its incredible cast of stars, and how this became Arnold’s first official dud at the box office. So, grab your magic ticket and a sleeping bag, and curl up in front of the television, as another episode of the Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers podcast heads straight at you.

It’s been a long night (and long year) for the SNMS crew and the lads have started hitting the old holiday ‘nog a little early this sleepover night. Dion and Blake layout the history of this holiday essential, unpacking the history of how it was originally a sequel to a Frank Sinatra property, and it’s journey to becoming one of the most influential action movie’s of the 80’s. Blake also reminisces about seeing a screening of this film introduced by the late great Alan Rickman, and what he had to say when a film asked him a very specific script logic question regarding the storyline. So grab your sleigh bells, your yule tide cheer, your Berettas and most importantly your shoes, cause the guys are taking a trip to Nakatomi Plaza in this 2018 holiday edition of Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers!
