Small-Screen Shamefuls: Terror Squad (w/Home Video Hustle) Jul 30, 2020

Show notes

It's the fifth Thursday of the month and that can only mean one thing... time to punch down! This week, Nathan and Brendan welcome back Brent (and a little bit of the Spirit) from the Home Video Hustle to discuss the Red Dawn/Breakfast Club rip-off Terror Squad. The gang talks about everything from lack of security at nuclear power plants, 45-minute car chases (in real time), sexy exercise programs, some ridiculously obvious continuity errors particularly one involving a bus and the way in which the movie clearly inspired the Grand Theft Auto series. Brent also makes his pitch to remake the movie for the Asylum. The guys also drop a hint for next week's movie ("CANNIBALISM'S NOT... FAKE!"). Check on Facebook or Twitter on Monday for the reveal!
