All '90s Action, All The Time! - On Deadly Ground
"You wanna know who he is? Try this: delve down into the deepest bowels of your soul. Try to imagine the ultimate fucking nightmare. And that won't come close to this son of a bitch when he gets pissed." - Michael Jennings (Michael Caine)

Join hosts Scott Murphy, Kyle Hintz and Craig Draheim as they (SPOILERS WARNINGS) breakdown the plot of another Seagal masterwork. And this time it is the ultimate Seagal movie "On Deadly Ground." A film that may be far from his best but is the one that most exemplifies all that is Seagal (he did direct it after all) from the wacky fashion to the mildly awkward cultural appropriation to the well-meaning but slightly misjudged speechifying. Plus we get a classic Seagal bar brawl and the usual Seagal trope of telling the viewer repeatedly how badass his character turned up to 11!
Our hosts also find themselves frequently distracted by Michael Caine's dye job, appreciate how on-the-nose much of the casting and the pod's Seagal novice Craig has to be convinced that Seagal was not deliberately making an action movie parody!
