The SLS Cast

Matt & Tim kick off their discussion of Nick de Semlyen's 2023 popcorn bucket of a book, "The Last Action Heroes: The Triumphs, Flops, and Feuds of Hollywood's Kings of Carnage". This entertaining literary romp covers the rise (and feuds) of some of our buff, oiled-up and limber silver screen heroes.    All music within the podcast: "Funkorama" & "That's a Wrap" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Additional copyrighted material used under Fair Use for the purposes of [including, but not limited to]: criticism, comment, and news reporting.
