Fire up the rocket-sled, because TIMECOP is the greatest movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.
Review in a Nutshell: Ridiculous nudity, bad physics, henchmen with villainous hair, Ron Silver stealing every scene he’s in, and Jean Claude doing the splits. Truly, TIMECOP is the apex of Western film.
This movie contains:

The Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast 
Love the podcast and I just want to leave a comment about the Macross Plus suggestion. Plus really is a good show and really something that avoids the more strange and otaku shit that may turn off normal people from anime. It doesn’t have super powered teenagers or skirt wearing little girls. It’s just an honest to goodness movie. And hell in this day of dead singers being brought back by holograms it may even be pretty relevant.
My comment to that picture is – I MUST BE ON BROADWAY! There are some pretty decent one-liners in TIMECOP (like that one, and one where a pudgy middle-aged Ron Silver tells his younger, trimmer self to “lay off the donuts”), and it’s got an intriguing premise.
TIMECOP is about half of a good movie – and half lame Jean-Claude Van Damme vehicle. The movie might have been better if it had been able to balance the SFNal aspects with the action – which I felt Jet Li’s THE ONE succeeded in.
I have two question for you, Almighty Gooberzilla:
1) Is there going to be special podcast for the Expendables 2?
2) Are you ever going to review the Jean Claude Van Damme starring Cyborg?
If Sean Hunting is unable to do Macross Plus, this Sean is totally on board! Hit me up when you’d like to podcast on it. The English dub is worth a listen; I actually prefer it.
Hey Sean and Paul, that gum you finished the episode talking about isknown as Black Black and is perhaps my favorite type of gum. Why pray-tell? For it is coffee flavored gum…and it is advertised by Golgo 13 himself.
Just wanted to through that out.
Back in my weeaboo days, I chewed a lot of Black Black. Its supposed to be caffinated(sp?) but it never really gave me that kick. It also has this terrible medicinal flavor that I forced myself to enjoy because I loved the idea of chewing Japanese gum. Thought it made me one of the cool kids. B)
ANYWHO, please do Double Team. It is the greatest movie ever involving JCVD, Dennis Rodman, Mickey Rourke, and a tiger.
Thanks to the DirecTV-Viacom pissing match earlier this month, I have a month of free Encore channels, and Encore Action has been serving up all sorts of things for me to revisit. I pretty much wrote off Timecop back in the day, since by the time it came out, I was heavy into my snotty “this is nothing compared to Hong Kong action films” phase. So I rewatched it last week and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
I mean, it’s no Biggles: Adventures in Time, but it’s close.
