Matt and Scott are off this week, so we decided to drop a reunion episode of our 5-year-old show Phantom Zoned as a special treat! Phantom Zoned is a weekly podcast where host Adrian Torres leads Scott and the rest of us on a voyage through the worst movies that cinema has to offer. If judged guilty of crimes against cinema, the film will be jettisoned into the Phantom Zone, an inescapable prison where they will remain for all eternity.   In this episode, we take a look at the 1995 Australian action... thriller? ... Under the Gun.
