The Action Addicts

Scott Wiley - Action Films Connoisseur

Welcome to the Action Addicts Podcast! Join me your host Scott Wiley as we take a shotgun approach to movie analysis and reviews. Each week we have a different guest co-host from genre enthusiast or expert to industry insiders, we also have our 'conversation with' interview style episodes where we allow directors, actors, stunt performers and everyone in between the opportunity to have a deep discussion on their careers or projects. This genre is near and dear to my heart and I will always bring you underappreciated gems, cult classics and completely off topic tangents.

Ep111 - Zombie Fight Club and Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre with Lindsay Wilkins
On today's episode of the Action Addicts Podcast we have returning guest Lindsay Wilkins to talk about two pretty insane Zombie films. First up we have The Manson Brothers: Midnight Zombie Massacre which is sold as Wrestlers vs Zombies with some comedy. It sort of delivers on that premise but is a lot more "inside baseball" about the wrestling industry and the indie scene than you might expect. Then there's the real piece of insanity that is Zombie Fight Club. Sold as The Raid but with zombies, it does not deliver that and instead gives us one of the bleakest and depraved end of the world scenarios for the audience to ponder. It's mean, gross and shifts gear so fast the engine nearly blows up. Trust me, this is a good chat folks. Action Addicts Links: https://linktr.ee/actionaddicts Hosted on Acast.

Ep95 - Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010) with Simon Feilder
Today we are joined by Simon Feilder from fellow action movie podcast Dodge This. We look back on the 2010 movie Scott Pilgrim vs The World, a zany and wacky flick from Edgar Wright based on the graphic novel of the same name. A stellar cast, fantastic fight scenes from Brad Allen backed up by some great visual effects. This movie may be 16 years old but it still feels very relevant and modern.
