Mark and Tom breakdown the insane final fight between Van Helsing and Dracula in the 2004 film Van Helsing. Directed by Stephen Sommers (The Mummy, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra), Van Helsing is a bombastic movie full of magical clothes, unexpected death and epic brawls between vampires and werewolves. Sit back, relax and listen to us discuss a very weird fight.

Mark and David Cross (of the Award Wieners Podcast) discuss the fantastic creature feature Crawl. Released in 2019, this Alejandra Aja (Piranha 3D, High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes) directed epic features alligators, hurricanes, crawl spaces and lots of swimming (it's awesome). In this episode, we discuss hurricane parties, alligator farms and Barry Pepper punching large creatures. Enjoy!

Mark and Robert discuss the epic final fight between Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves) and Howard Payne (Dennis Hopper) in Speed (1994). They also discuss decapitations, train fights and the strength of exit signs. Enjoy!

Mark and Tom discuss the director's cut of the 2004 action film King Arthur. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the gritty retelling of Arthur and his knights was supposed to be an R-rated spectacle. However, during production, the $90 million budgeted film switched over to a PG-13 rating and the majority of the gore and double decapitations were cut out (they still love the movie though). In this episode, they discuss disappointing crossbows, flying Ray Stevenson and eyebrows. Enjoy!

Mark and Megan discuss the epic final fight between John Matrix and Bennett in Commando (1985). The two incredibly mismatched fighters have an epic and evenly matched brawl that has become a thing of legend. Sit back, let off some steam, and enjoy this discussion of an epic brawl.

Mark and Megan introduce the world to MFF Final Fights by discussing the epic nine-minute fight between Ito (Joe Taslim) and Arian (Iko Uwais) in The Night Comes for Us. It's an epic brawl in an epic movie, and it's the perfect fight to start the new podcast series.

Mark and David Cross (of the Award Wieners Movie Review Podcast) discuss the Paul Verhoeven directed Hollow Man. They're big fans of Kevin Bacon and Elisabeth "Action Hero" Shue, but, this horror film about an invisible scientist running amok does not hold up well and feels like a Paul Verhoeven-lite Hollywood film that lacks the character of his earlier works. In this episode, they discuss paying debts, fighting invisible people, and Kevin Bacon's best films. Enjoy!

Mark and Jay continue their epic "Soggy Saga" podcast series with the 2002 film Swimfan. Directed by John Polson, and starring Erika Christensen and Jesse Bradford, Swimfan tells the story of a stalker (who isn't a fan of swimming...) harassing a swimmer. In this episode, they discuss sushi, swimming pools and podcasting while riding mopeds. Enjoy!

Mark and Tom discuss the underappreciated action film Vertical Limit. Released in 2000, and directed by Martin Campbell (Goldeneye, Casino Royale, The Mask of Zorro), this worldwide hit focuses on people making very bad decisions while attempting to climb K2. In this episode, Mark and Tom discuss Mountain Dew colored explosives, massive jumps and the greatness of Bill Paxton. Enjoy!

Mark and Chris discuss the 1995 vampire spoof Dracula: Dead and Loving It. Directed by Mel Brooks, this Leslie Nielsen starring spoof riffs on Nosferatu, Dracula (1931), Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Dracula (1958). Audiences and critics weren't fans in 1995, however, it's a fun film that features bug eating, constant gags and massive blood explosions. In this episode, Mark and Chris discuss eating raspberries, vampire lore and garlic. Enjoy
