Action movies of the late 80s and early 90s were great vehicles for bodybuilders and professional wrestlers. And boy are there a LOT of films from this time that made use of meatheads! Join Tom and Ryan as they take in a film about intergalactic cops duking it out over the fate of a kid. They also discuss governing Minnesota, wanting POWERRRR, and related film The 13th Warrior. It's our review of Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe!

The 1980s were the peak decade for sword-and-sorcery fantasy cinema...and that means that a whole lot of B-grade fantasy films were produced. Some films tried to stand out by fully indulging in some grindhouse-style nudity, and Tom and Ryan are stuck watching one of those! Along the way they discuss mud wrestling (naturally), as well as Phil Spector, Internet user movie reviews, and the value of a sneering villain. It's our review of Barbarian Queen II: The Empress Strikes Back!
