The hosts of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, have been steadily following the action stars of the 1980s and 1990s. The big three of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Bruce Willis stand out the most, but occupying the midcard tier underneath are the likes of Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and, the subject of their newest episode, Steven Seagal. The notorious karate nut’s only “Certified Fresh” hit on Rotten Tomatoes as a lead is Under Siege. Our guys hop on the boat.
For their 190th episode, two enlisted film critics, two centerfold dads, and two non-silent school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, pull up their anchors, load their guns, and take on an 1990s action movie classic! Steven Seagal (and us) never had it better than 1992’s Under Siege, co-starring Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey. This was director Andrew Davis’s audition tape for The Fugitive, and it becomes comical how much Seagal is squeezed out of his own movie. We talk about all the warheads of Under Siege and more! Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
