The Redeemables

Who doesn't love a holiday? We sure do! Somehow after watching the most intense overseas family trip ever for our recent No Escape episode Kenny was inspired to do our Top Five Vacation Movies. How many involve a violent uprising? A giant beast with taste for human blood or an unkillable alien sent to hunt us down? Or how many are about comic capers and dangerous decisions? Listen to find out! But before that Kenny designed a game to test the guy's knowledge of films set in holiday destinations, play along against them and let us know how you went.

Ever wondered what it would be like to be trapped in a foreign country with your young family while there is a violent uprising aimed at the company you represent? Kenny, BJ and Duff certainly have so this week we did 2015's No Escape with Owen Wilson. The main takeaway was that we're cowards that would hide in the shadows but we also discuss South East Asian Geography, solve racism, how far could you throw a small child and much more. Please enjoy...

Smokin' Aces doesn't just have a cast - it has a C-A-S-T!!! Inspired by this murder's row of actors - discussed at length on our most recent full episode - BJ designed a game around other movies with deep ensemble casts. And then after being so impressed with the acting debuts of Alicia Keys & Common in Smokin' Aces the guys give us their own Top Five Musicians In Movies

What movie has a coked out magician, 50 Cal Sniper rifles, neo nazi hitmen with chainsaws, Alicia Keys as a professional killer pretending to be a hooker, Ryan Reynolds, Ben Affleck, Chris Pine, Ray Liotta and they're all in a hotel together trying to kill each other??.. Smokin' Aces from 2007. Join us while we breakdown this cult classic...

Who are the most underrated actors working today? So glad you asked! Because Duff was somehow inspired by DMX's performance in Cradle 2 The Grave to ask the other guys the same question. But before they run through those Duff puts them through their paces by playing hard ass quiz master during a game he invented.

What's. My. Name? It's DMX and he's in Cradle 2 The Grave with a bunch of his friends and a heap of his music. 2003 was a different time for action movies and we discuss whether it was a better or worse time. We cover off auctioneering, cage fighting, ATV stunt driving, black diamonds and casual racism. Please join us...

What happens when you get one of the greatest sci-fi directors of our time, give him a bunch of money and tell him to turn a video game into a sports movie based on a true story? Gran Turismo, that's what happens. Join us for the ride as we break down one of the sleeper hits of 2023. Please enjoy...

THE 3RD ANNUAL REDEEMIES ARE HERE !! This is the REAL movies awards - maybe not as prestigious as the Oscars but definitely more prestigious The Golden Globes... First the traditional major categories are announced after being decided by public vote and then the boys get to their favourite part of the year - popping a bottle and announcing their own special awards. You can listen to all the classic episodes in our catalogue wherever find your podcasts

We love Guy Ritchie's gangster films like Lock Stock, Snatch, etc but how do we feel about his mainstream blockbusters? We watched 2017s King Arthur to find out... Kenny is pushed to his absolute fantasy limits, Duff loves giant elephants and BJ says "Madonna" 26 times. Please enjoy...

REFLEXES TOO SLOW! Duff tests Kenny & BJ's general movie knowledge with a rapid fire quiz - play along and see if you can beat the boys. Then the fellas close out this classic minisode by taking inspiration from the fabulous feats of friendship performed in A Man Apar and telling us who are their Top Five Ride Or Dies.

Rogue DEA agents on a vengeance mission against the the biggest Cartel boss in Mexico starring Vin Diesel? Enough said. This week we are A Podcast Apart as we explore the full range of Vin Diesel's emotions in this 2003 crime thriller. Kenny demands Vin Diesel gets the respect he deserves (again), BJ has some more drug related questions and Duff brings the heat with the fun facts. Please enjoy...

"You lose your sense of time in the dark.... So lets light this shit up"... We're doing another creature feature and this one is 7 miles below the ocean and it's starring Kristen Stewart with a bleached blonde shaved head. Sounds good, right? We deep dive on the TJ Miller dramas, we admit to horrific crimes and Duff gets his creature swallowing a human whole moment. Please enjoy...

In this classic minisode BJ teams up with AI to really test the guy's knowledge of action movies. Then the lads give us their hardest top five to settle on yet - their TOP FIVE ACTION MOVIES FROM 1985 -1995. Join us as we celebrate the golden age of action as only The Redeemables can!

Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren, Super Soldiers, listener's choice, LETS GO. You asked for it, you get it. We did 1992's Universal Soldier. We discuss whether Van Damme is the worst actor of all time but in a good way, why Van Damme won't do full frontal nudity and Van Damme's weekly cocaine habit in 1995. Basically it's an episode about Van Damme and it's long overdue. Please enjoy...

Taking inspiration from the evil Mischief John in King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword we discuss our Top Five Evil Henchmen. But before that BJ has a quiz for the lads based on Medieval Words and testicles.

Following on from our Assassin's Creed episode BJ shoots tough questions at the guys in a quiz made up of YouTube comments from previews of movies adapted from video games. It is a little bit contentious - and quite a wild ride. Then the fellas run through their Top Five Assassins. There's some of the usual suspects and as usual some left field choices.

The three of us work in the dark to serve the light so we thought we'd do a movie that matches our idealogy - 2016's Assassin's Creed. Was this as bad as the people said or was it just angry gamers complaining about another gaming movie? This might be our most divisive movie yet, tune in and come on the rollercoaster ride of emotions as we take a Leap Of Faith...

Duff thinks Lethal Weapon 4 is just about perfect, Kenny & BJ don't agree. Somehow they all are going to agree on the ideal current cast for a reboot - with a little input from Chat GPT. What could possibly go wrong? But before that Duff hits the lads with a quiz supposedly with a buddy cop themed quiz.

We're too old for this shit.... but we recorded a pod about Lethal Weapon 4 anyway! Is it the perfect finish to an all time classic quadrilogy or should they have stopped at 3? Tune in and find out what we think of Jet Li's Hollywood debut, a happy & stable Martin Riggs, the Chris Rock effect, casual racism, casual homophobia and casual anti-semitism... Thanks for listening!

ROADTRIP! We celebrate our shared love for We're The Millers one more time with a run down of our TOP FIVE ROADTRIP MOVIES. But before we hit the road - it's draft time again! We draft our FAVORITE COMEDIES OF THE LAST TEN YEARS. Will Kenny keep his streak alive? Will BJ try to draft Pulp Fiction? Will Duff get another cramp? There's only one way to find out....
