Bonus! - Tango & Cash

The over-the-top fun of The 80s didn’t surrender to the angsty thoughtfulness of The 90s without a fight. Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell teamed-up to fight crime, make us laugh, and prove that yes, sometimes cops do go to prison - and unfairly too! Listen to Alex and Julio take on the much maligned last great action movie: TANGO & CASH! Why can’t critics appreciate Sly playing against type? Why can’t they appreciate Russell boldly dressing in drag before the world was ready for it? And how can anyone resent an early appearance from the best Lois Lane ever? Also: Jack Palance kisses a rat!
