The League vs. Last Action Hero
Matt Dursin, John Hunt, and Clay N. Ferno dive into Arnold Schwarzenegger's meta action-comedy that famously clashed with Jurassic Park. This episode explores over-the-top action tropes, Shane Black's signature writing style, and whether this cult classic deserved better than its 1993 box office reception.
