160: Universal Solider 2 w/ Tom Lorenzo

<p>Writer Tom Lorenzo joins us to tear apart Universal Soldier: The Return, a sequel that never should have been made.</p><p>After an alright first film, and two made-for-television disasters, the Universal Soldier franchise seemed to be dead in the water. So why was 45 million dollars thrown at a sequel? Must have been a pretty great script, right? Wrong. Universal Soldier: The Return is an absolute mess, and there is plenty for us to discuss when it comes to the questionable choices made at every turn, but this stinker of a movie mostly acts as the perfect diving board for conversations on the decline of the action movie genre, Jean-Claude Van Damme's career (and macho-man actors in general), and how a great B-Movie concept can be squandered on a forgettable film.</p><br><p>Find Tom at:&nbsp;<a href="http://twitter.com/JarettSays" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">twitter.com/</a>ragingbull1990</p><p>Patreon:&nbsp;<a href="http://patreon.com/podcastlikeits1989" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">patreon.com/podcastlikeits1989</a></p><p>Twitter:&nbsp;<a href="twitter.com/podcastlikeits" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">twitter.com/podcastlikeits</a></p><p>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="instagram.com/podcastlikeits" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">instagram.com/podcastlikeits</a></p><p>Reddit:&nbsp;<a href="http://reddit.com/r/PodcastLikeIts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reddit.com/r/PodcastLikeIts</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
