The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Stop Making Sense,' 'Expend4bles' and 'Team America: World Police'

One of the greatest movies of all time leads this week's episode. We had a long, fun talk about Stop Making Sense, which is back in theaters. Then, we discuss Sylvester Stallone and puppets. Hope you enjoy.

The Joke's on 'Expend4bles'

The Many Sides of Dolph Lundgren

For this week's Debate Club, we took a look at Dolph Lundgren's career, which is a very strange one. Check it out over at SyFy.

'The Expendables 2' Review

I had a ball watching The Expendables 2, although I'm very aware of its clear flaws. But where the first movie was just sorta dumb, the sequel is big dumb fun. That doesn't seem like a big difference, but, believe me, it really is. My review is up at Screen International. (By the way, whenever I think of this franchise, this song always comes to mind.)

A Look Back at 'The Expendables'

When The Expendables came out in August 2010, box office watchers didn't have huge expectations for the Sylvester Stallone vehicle. (For crying out loud, it's got Dolph Lundgren in it.) And then just like that, the movie became one of the more unlikely $100-million movies of recent years. The Expendables 2 arrives on Friday -- for IFC Fix, I remind everyone how crazy the first film's success really was.
