When a Central American dictator kidnaps his daughter, John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger) eats his spinach, injects his HGH, and gets a-killin’.  See John senselessly slaughter wave after wave of mustachioed thugs.  Thrill to the nonstop cavalcade of absurd international accents — both fake and real!  Hear Arnold deliver pun-tastic one liners in the role that may be his McBainiest.  The star studded cast includes Alyssa Milano, Bill Paxton, and International Legend Dan Hedaya.  With all this and more, shouldn't you be going Commando right now?

PAL listeners, we are unable to test the PAL version, purchase at your own risk.  (And please let us know if it works!)

This is our first riff, and it has been a labor of love for a long time now.  Rob & I both have such great affection for Commando - in ironic as well as deeply heartfelt ways.  Through making this, we learned a lot about how to write and record a riff, and the next one will be even better. We hope you enjoy laughing at this movie with us!  And after you've watched, we'd like to know what you think.

This is Rob, of Sam & Rob. I just wanted to echo what Sam said. This was our first riff, we had a great time creating it, and we really hope you have as much fun watching it as we had making it. We learned much while making this riff, but would learn so much more with your feedback. Please don't hesitate to post yours! And thanks so much to everyone who took the time to download and watch this riff.

The preview for this made me laugh out loud a good number of times. Especially the cheesy jokes like "that was the money shot," they were delivered with such sincerity that it worked. I like that it feels like a couple of guys sitting around and watching a film, which is definitely our brand of humor at FilmRoasters since all of our stuff is unscripted. I'm not a fan of jokes that feel like they took too long to write, but rather the stuff that just seems to come out instinctively. Keep up the good work.
