I wonder how many drafts before there's a Regulation Draft Draft

2025-03-21 01:09:20 +0000 UTCThe fact that there isn't an Expendables movie on this list is a travesty.

2025-02-21 14:10:09 +0000 UTCDamn that would have been genius!
Shaun Withrow
2025-01-13 21:54:39 +0000 UTCI think Geoff's list would have been funnier if it had been... Dredd Snow White and the Huntsman Hot Fuzz Sherlock Holmes: GoS Lazer Team (Gavin didn't work on it, but starred)

2025-01-13 21:50:31 +0000 UTCSpeed > John Wick and I love both.
Rachel F
2025-01-13 17:30:33 +0000 UTCThe two movies that are almost all action being dead center of the list is certainly an odd choice, but to put Speed above both? Feathers have been ruffled

2025-01-09 15:50:51 +0000 UTCI don't know why Andrew keeps saying this isnt a draft, it clearly is. Like a real draft unlike the ones they usually do that they call drafts but I still say are just them making a tier list. Drafts, like for say sports teams, are picking something to then be used later. In the usual ones they're just showing off their favorites, while here there's a built in point system with the ranking on the final list, so the better your drafted movie is in the overall list the more points and better you do in the end

2024-12-31 20:18:03 +0000 UTCWhy are there six empty columns between the parts of the board that are actually being used?
Dan Walsh
2024-12-31 20:04:38 +0000 UTCI often agree, it makes it feel like it's too much of a bit and like isnt taking it "seriously" kinda thing

2024-12-31 20:00:02 +0000 UTCNo Matrix?! No Charlie's Angels?!

2024-12-30 16:22:32 +0000 UTCThis was such a bad list. Eric's ultra contrarian attitude towards everything in media drives me crazy, but I wouldn't change it for the world, and Geoff can make a bit about anything. It makes me laugh so hard. To be honest, this is exactly why I support your content. I love you guys so much. hahaha Can't wait for the next one. P.S. I would show up for martial arts theater EVERY SINGLE EPISODE
Jesse Bryant
2024-12-28 21:24:50 +0000 UTCThe level of John Wick disrespect by most of them is insane lol. The fact that they think it's neck and neck with TAKEN is ridiculous.
numbr87
2024-12-25 03:43:10 +0000 UTCI don't know why it always pisses me off so much, but every time Geoff does a bit for these lists I end up hating it. I wish he would have talked in depth about each of his movies but then chosen a real one like MI3 or Aliens. That way he gets his bit and we get a better list.
numbr87
2024-12-25 03:35:02 +0000 UTCYou guys need to go back and watch Commando. It's got like 10 minutes of slow plot and even it has a montage in it. Great movie!
Matthew Harrington
2024-12-25 02:15:23 +0000 UTCEric arguing speed is a better action movie than John Wick is crazy.
Schweet
2024-12-24 21:14:58 +0000 UTCEric talking about hot fuzz(medium action) and saying speed(little to no action) is better than John Wick( mostly action) is crazy to me
Paul Letua
2024-12-24 18:57:56 +0000 UTCEric I want to see your actual list so I can put them on my watch list lol
Sean Penner
2024-12-24 12:26:38 +0000 UTCI 100% agree. Anytime I try to watch a movie from the 80s or 90s, I walkaway disappointed. Even movies I did watch as kid like Indiana Jones or the original Star Wars just aren't enjoyable today. Everything about movie making has improved so much.
Keira
2024-12-24 05:25:09 +0000 UTCCurrent action movies are WAY over produced. I don't need 15 cuts in 15 seconds of someone jumping a fence. Yeah you don't have the jankiness of fighting a CGI monster of decades past. Action movies of today lost "the sprit" of an action movie.
Astrid Fairwinds
2024-12-23 20:53:27 +0000 UTCJohn Wick as a stand alone is a phenomenal turn off your brain and watch someone beating the piss out of other people movie. Didn't need sequels I got it the first time.
Astrid Fairwinds
2024-12-23 20:46:55 +0000 UTCNo face off, con air, mission impossible, or aliens is criminal. Otherwise great list lol

Matt
2024-12-23 19:35:20 +0000 UTCI’m sorry and come at me if you want too, John Wick is the most overrated action series maybe…ever? Nothing special.

2024-12-23 18:13:34 +0000 UTCThis was great! Now we need the same thing, but for movie fist fights!

2024-12-23 17:10:36 +0000 UTCDemolition Man could have gotten both Stallone and Snipes. Dredd (Karl Urban) is cool too. Also, no Van Damme?
Capt137
2024-12-23 16:54:55 +0000 UTCThe Raid 2 is only available en espanol on Prime. Wich is weird...ive owned it for years...Indonesian was always available. Buy physical media folks.
echo papa
2024-12-23 16:37:55 +0000 UTCNo one considers the nostalgia effect with movie rankings. From a completely unbiased point of view, almost every movie made today is better than every movie made in the past. Acting, special effects, writing, music, stunt work, cinematography, every facet of filmmaking has improved with time. These 80s and 90s action movies are only as good as the modern action movies to people who saw them when they came out and have a nostalgic love for them that lets them gloss over all the faults, cheesiness, terrible writing, awful deliveries, and gimmicky fight sequences.

2024-12-23 14:28:07 +0000 UTCHot Fuzz is my favorite movie so it scans that Eric doesn't like it
Eoin
2024-12-23 13:10:16 +0000 UTCHow many times has the Mummy been mentioned during the lifecycle of this podcast... insane omission
Willsy
2024-12-23 11:49:37 +0000 UTC"Shoot Em Up" is such an overlooked dumb action movie. Gunfights both in the sky and inside a chick. It's absurd.

2024-12-23 08:45:51 +0000 UTC2 minutes in and I wish Eric kept his Hong Kong action movies. I would love to see some John Woo on here. Edit: he made up for it with Heat
Tan
2024-12-23 06:43:12 +0000 UTCThank god it was an invisible flag because I doubt Geoff was in uniform. (This is a deep reference to earlier content. Not a genuine concern lol)

2024-12-23 04:29:29 +0000 UTCStar Wars Raiders of the Lost Ark Mad Max Fury Road Matrix Aliens Kill Bill Avengers 300 So many good action movies that didn't make the cut

2024-12-23 03:19:04 +0000 UTCPlease do this for every movie genre. As someone who hasn't seen enough movies in life and has no idea where to start, this is very helpful. 🙏🏻

2024-12-23 02:51:14 +0000 UTCHow Madame Web didn’t make this list is beyond me!
Joshua Neditch
2024-12-23 02:35:15 +0000 UTCTo Geoff's comment on the Timothy Zahn books, a lot of that stuff has been and is being re-worked to fit into the current SW Canon, with Zahn himself writing novels and consulting on it, because those original novels were such a big deal. It's not 1:1 or anything but still.

2024-12-23 02:34:18 +0000 UTCI love you Eric, but your hate boner for John Wick is disappointing😂

jack v
2024-12-22 23:21:10 +0000 UTCWas a great show all around and other than Geoff’s joke list I think it was a pretty solid list! I think the biggest egregious miss was no Matrix - that would be a top 5 for a lot of people I think. On my personal list I’d have included Dredd too (especially since Gavin worked on that movie!) but I understand why it wouldn’t be on everyone’s picks
Shaun Withrow
2024-12-22 23:15:18 +0000 UTCUm actually… Star Wars EU novels were never canon 🤓

2024-12-22 22:47:11 +0000 UTCYou should all make your own list with this list. Put it here in the comments!!!!

2024-12-22 19:39:12 +0000 UTCGeoff bringing in Loony Tunes: Back in Action was the best decision, loved that movie as a kid. Glad Raid 2 got in there too

2024-12-22 19:10:15 +0000 UTCI learned today that Speed in Swedish is Fart and that makes me laugh way harder than it should

2024-12-22 19:09:17 +0000 UTCJurassic Park should have made the cut, but then again, there are literally hundreds of movies to choose from.

2024-12-22 17:53:25 +0000 UTCNo Mad Max: Fury Road is a gross oversight. Movie barely has words. All action, so many practical effects. Witness me!!!!
Daniel Springer
2024-12-22 17:51:49 +0000 UTCAbsolutely agree

2024-12-22 17:49:02 +0000 UTCHaving John Wick so low is a crime but also John Wick 4 is better than 1.

2024-12-22 17:37:41 +0000 UTCI must not be an action movie guy. Most of these wouldn't be anywhere near top 31 for me.
Robert Lacey
2024-12-22 17:26:47 +0000 UTCYeah, Liam Neeson, the rom-com/weird show up in stuff guy. Has Nick seen Schindler's List?

2024-12-22 14:36:59 +0000 UTCI haven’t seen the video yet, but Con Air better be high on the ranking or we’re gonna have words. Not sure if Hot Fuzz counts, but I fucking love it. (Aaaand it took me to Action Point to clue into Geoff’s theme. I need sleep.) Edit: FUCK YEAH. NICK WINS.
