Tango & Cash

 Released in December of 1989, "Tango & Cash" was the last and most eighties of the eighties action movie trend. We do our best to explain a complex and meaningless plot, and try to fix a film that is at once brilliant and terrible in equal measure. 

 Originally recorded 2020.

 

SHOW NOTES:

The scene in Jackie Chan's Police Story that VERY loosely inspired this movie's opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFo_NjgwJbQ 

Bea mentioned the Bechdel test, which is a way of watching scripted media to see how sexist it is. In order to pass the Bechdel test, two women who have named characters need to have a conversation about something, and that something can't be a man. A staggering number of films, plays and TV shows can't manage this.
