But it also has a fantastic original soundtrack that Zak and Corey highly praise!Note the boys are reviewing the uncut version that Shout Factory put out on Blu-ray. As you’ll hear on the review, they do recommend the theatrical cut over this one.

As 80s kids, you couldn’t escape the dynamic duo that is Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh! Both of our hosts watched this and Lethal Weapon 2 more times then they can count growing up and revisiting these characters for PAD is like falling into the arms of an old friend.Let us know what you think of our Lethal Weapon review on Patreon or social media!— SUPPORT PODCASTING AFTER DARK —PATREON - Two extra shows a month including Wrap-Up After Dark and The Carpenter Factor, plus other exclusive content!MERCH STORE - We have a fully dedicated merch store at TeePublic with multiple designs and products!REDDIT - Join our growing Subreddit community!INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK - Follow us on social media for updates and announcements!Purchase 7 WINTERS ALONE on Amazon: HARDCOVER / PAPERBACK / KINDLEThis podcast is part of the BFOP Network

Where you know him from: Family Ties (1982-89), My Demon Lover (1987), and Phantom 2040 (1994-96)This month on Interviews After Dark we talk to actor, Scott Valentine!When co-host Zak booked Scott Valentine for the show he wasn't quite sure what co-host Corey's reaction would be. Would Scott Valentine be too obscure of a guest? Does anyone care about My Demon Lover?Little did Zak know, the 'Nick Moore' character that Scott Valentine played on Family Ties was very near and dear to Corey's heart! That character showed a young artist (in a family of mostly non-artists) that it was ok to stay true to who you are no matter what anyone told you! Needless to say, Corey freaked out a little (ok, a lot lol) when he found out Scott Valentine was coming on Interviews After Dark.The cool thing is, Scott Valentine lived up to every expectation and then some! He is a genuinely nice person who is very open about his career in and out of Hollywood. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as we did recording it! — SUPPORT PODCASTING AFTER DARK —PATREON - Two extra shows a month, including our celebrity interview series, plus videos and other exclusive content!MERCH STORE - We have a fully dedicated merch store at TeePublic with multiple designs and products!INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK / LETTERBOXD - Follow us on social media for updates and announcements!Purchase 7 WINTERS ALONE on Amazon: HARDCOVER / PAPERBACK / KINDLEThis podcast is part of the BFOP Network
