1997 was the year that brought us Rutger Hauer dry humping in his trenchcoat in a public shower and it also brought us Judge Reinhold in his skivvies doing karate in his apartment.  So we decided to celebrate this wonderful moment in time by doing reviews of the Rutger Hauer dystopian future by way of Nu Image Films called Redline and we also tackled the sequel to the Thomas Ian Griffith dtv classic Crackerjack that had Judge Reinhold stepping into those boots in Crackerjack 2!

The boys are still in vacay mode after the fallout from the big 2016 end of year bonanza so they decide to slooooow things down a little and partake in some off-kilter criminess by way of Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans and Chris McQuarrie's The Way of the Gun. Don't fret though, despite the slower pace they still discover enough energy for a few giggles and several granny hand slaps along the way.  EMAILS!!!: cultofmuscle@gmail.com FACEBOOK!!!: facebook.com/groups/cultofmuscle TUMBLR!!!: cultofmuscle.tumblr.com MERCH!!!: redbubble.com/people/cultofmuscle/shop   Watcha Been Lifting: 0:00:0 - 00:43:00 Way of the Gun: 00:44:00 - 1:41:00 Bad Lieutenant: 1:44:00 - 2:30:00 Feedback: 2:31:00 - END  

The year of our lord 2016 has come to a close and it's our God bound duty as Americans (and kinda sorta as a Canadian) to talk about all the junk we watched, loved and hated last year. Too much alcohol is imbibed, dirty laundry is aired, dumb arguments are had and bonds are permanently stressed to their breaking points as the worst year in human history is summed up in one 7 hour gelatinous mass of hate and anger!

This week CD-R attempts to baffle poor Jakey with two very unique, very different kinds of mysteries.

The time of the Quickening is upon us! We've slain all other podcasting combatants and all that's left to do is accept the demonic spirits of our fallen foes into our bodies via lightning bolts and old school 80s animations! While we wait for all that we sit down with our favorite boys Wes and Kelly to talk the Highlanders 1 through 3 in celebration of the big one-five-OH!

The fundamentals of masculinity are called into question this week as the boys dive headlong into two very different kinds of manly, rough and tumble opuses in David Fincher's Fight Club and the pitch black crime comedy, Prime Cut starring Lee Marvin vs Gene Hackman.

This week the boys take some time to ruminate on the subversively complex dystopian nightmarescapes presented in Kurt Wimmer's Equilibrium and Sean S. Cunningham's The New Kids.
