Episode 238: 'Best of the Best' with Atlanta Film Chat's Chuck Thomas

After the small audience at the Indiana Comic Convention "⁠Ninety For Chill: The Panel⁠", circumstances prevented screenwriter ⁠Chuck Thomas⁠ from "⁠Atlanta Film Chat⁠" meeting with ⁠CatBusRuss⁠ for a panel at ⁠ATL Comic Convention⁠.Russ still wanted a chance to chat with one of Atlanta's best movie podcasters. So, it is only fitting for Chuck's cinematic wisdom to select a feature that fits the "⁠Ninety For Chill⁠" parameters and star an actor with quite the outrageous career, ⁠Eric Roberts⁠. Throw in ⁠James Earl Jones⁠ and ⁠Chris Penn⁠, and you have to call this a crazy flick. This film is Taekwondo's answer to Karate's box office dominance, 1989's "⁠Best of the Best⁠".

These two podcasters had a ball to start since ⁠Chuck⁠ wanted to find out about what he may have missed from the convention, and ⁠Russ⁠ was fascinated by his guest's PROPER football scarf selection. It serves as a preview of what will become of this year's Devil's Night's podcast with the cast and creator of "⁠The Crow⁠". With so many similar interests, the language is a lot looser than usual, so ear muffs for the kids, please.

Despite the similarities of these talking heads, CatBus was not impressed by this feature. It may have brought up past trauma from "⁠Over the Top⁠". But again, Chuck has a great mind for movies, and like our host, raised on "⁠Mystery Science Theater 3000⁠". Thus, it may not be too challenging to turn Russ's opinion around on the first chapter of ⁠Phillip Rhee⁠'s franchise.
