The SLS Cast

Matt & Tim kick off their discussion of Nick de Semlyen's 2023 popcorn bucket of a book, "The Last Action Heroes: The Triumphs, Flops, and Feuds of Hollywood's Kings of Carnage". This entertaining literary romp covers the rise (and feuds) of some of our buff, oiled-up and limber silver screen heroes.

After one failed attempt after another, Matt and Tim finally managed to pull through! Join them as they kick off their new iteration of The SLS Cast! 

Bear with us as we get used to our new digs, "The Horsey Seat Theater," and saddle up for a worthwhile discussion of how and why 'Horizon: An American Saga, Part 1' exists the way that it does (and whether or not it's best in its current iteration), as well as working our way towards our thoughts on The X Trilogy.
