We're going to release another Academy Academy Classic and start fresh in 2024, folks. Happy Holidays and see you in the New Year!
You can take the Michael Douglas out of California... but can you take the California out of Michael Douglas? Can a perfectly thrown football save a life from sniper fire? Will we ever get those salt-of-the-earth Lava Factory jobs back in the good ol' US of A? Will Pat & Don make it to the Hat Convention this year? A certain character in Black Rain probably won't! Join the Semi-Sunday Morning Boyz as they discuss the ins and outs of Black Rain and The Last Boy Scout on this week's The Academy Academy!

What if that fatherly figure in your office turned out to be the ultimate killing machine? What if that guy helping you train to be a volunteer fireman was secretly a whiz at setting booby traps? Don & Pat are discussing Antoine Fuqua's The Equalizer on this week's The Academy Academy, an eminently entertaining film that dares to ask the question: "What if the guy from Man on Fire was just a cool dude and everything he did was cool?"

Out of all the movies we've watched... whooda thought this'd be the one we'd return to??
Feelin' Warm? Feelin' Norm. G-Off Spencer. Hyperlink Cinema. Whiskey Before Pistol? Chekov's Bolito. Five Stages of Grief, but 3 Types of Sad. Is The Pest John Leguizamo's Sophie's Choice? Is Tenet a film about two buds having a good time? If you want any of this word salad to make sense, you better listen to this week's episode of The Academy Academy!
