For their 236th episode, two sword-wielding film critics, two chainmail-wearing dads, and two gore-friendly school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, continue on a sword-and-sandal deep dive by pairing together a pair of remakes of some 1980s cult classics. Last year in 2025, streaming services (and too few theaters) were graced with reboots of Red Sonja and Deathstalker. The former shot for a more serious route, while the latter offered as much ham-and-cheese as it did blood and dismemberment. Both, in their own way, understood their assignments, and casual moviegoing is better for having them. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate.
