Episode #697 - The Expendables 3
Added 2023-09-19 04:00:04 +0000 UTC“How is adding Kelsey Grammer to this [movie] a thing at all?” - Eric
On this week’s episode, the guys are dodging CGI explosions left and right as they talk about the total wet fart of an action film, The Expendables 3! Why couldn’t they budget for some actual explosions? Why didn’t this wind up being more of a Wesley Snipes movie? Why did the writers think this movie needed all the Expendables Jr. characters? And what on EARTH were they thinking with this PG-13 rating? PLUS: Sly puts out an album full of t.v. theme song covers!
The Expendables 3 stars Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Kelsey Grammer, Glen Powell, Antonio Banderas, Victor Ortiz, Ronda Rousey, Kellan Lutz, Jet Li, Robert Davi, and the great Wesley Snipes as Doc; directed by Patrick Hughes.

2023-09-24 23:38:17 +0000 UTCI can’t believe Sly didn’t try to bait Grammar into a duet of Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs.

2023-09-21 12:42:49 +0000 UTCI had Mel Gibson mixed up with Mel Brooks for almost the entire episode

2023-09-21 05:31:19 +0000 UTCYour instincts on Ronda Rousey are accurate. Like her fellow MMA star turned action something or other, Gina Carano, she's quite the transphobe.

2023-09-20 21:56:43 +0000 UTCAs the (self-appointed) WHM Wrestling correspondent I would like to report that Rousey just finished up a run with WWE that by all accounts sucked.

2023-09-20 21:16:41 +0000 UTCMaybe he meant "Mercenaries"? That's the only one that comes close to the concept, even though it looks like an Asylum film. (Oh wait, it is an Asylum film)

2023-09-20 16:44:09 +0000 UTCHope Stallon guests on the King of the Hill ep to sing the theme song. I've seen all three in theaters and found them to be a big whatever. I think the first one came out same day as Scott Pilgrim and enjoyed Pilgrim way more.

2023-09-19 19:03:17 +0000 UTCSnipes went to prison because a lawyer named Robert Barnes snaked his way up close to him and told him to go with what was basically a sovereign citizen defense. Snipes fired him eventually but it was too late to do any good. Mr Barnes has since moved on to be Alex Jones lawyer for a while as well as doing a show on InfoWars for a while. Still does guest spots all the time.

2023-09-19 18:42:37 +0000 UTCWhat's the Expendabelles movie that Andrew said he watched? I don't think they ever actually filmed that, it's still on development hell
Felipe Sobreiro
2023-09-19 18:42:14 +0000 UTCThanks for taking this hail of bullets for those of us who will go to our graves never having seen it. Fuck this movie. If I want to see a shitty cartoony version of these guys with no lasting consequences, I'm firing up BroForce again, oh wait that game isn't shitty.

2023-09-19 17:54:38 +0000 UTCI saw this in theaters and as I walked out I told my wife that I would rather do another colonoscopy.

2023-09-19 13:20:01 +0000 UTCHoly shit I had no idea Glen Powell was in this. How the mighty have risen.

2023-09-19 13:07:18 +0000 UTCHoly crud... Now I want 2 hrs of you guys singing TV Themes of Stallone
James C Harris
2023-09-19 12:15:07 +0000 UTCI watched all three of these this weekend, in advance of this episode. Why did I do that to myself? At least the first two were around 90 odd minutes. This one being over 2 hours is just wrong.
Tony King
2023-09-19 11:48:23 +0000 UTClooking forward to 4...but this one was such crap. Sly succumbing to that PG13 nonsense for 3 hurt it a lot.
Frank Grimes
2023-09-19 09:08:37 +0000 UTCSaw this in theaters and it really says something about how worthless the movie is when the planned power outage I forgot about upon getting home was better than the movie I had just finished watching.
