Episode 139 - Tango and Cash
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! It’s February, and love is in the air. This month, the guys are diving into some of the biggest “bromance” bombs of all time. This week on the show, Troy and Brad are back in 80’s action territory with 1989’s action comedy - Tango & Cash. Marred by production troubles, director exits, and critical hate; Tango & Cash borrows from many of the 1980’s action tropes to construct a film worthy of induction into the Action Hall of Fame. You also won’t find a better comedic shower sequence between two of the biggest action icons in film history. Sly and Kurt are a great way to kick off the Valentine…sorry…”bromance” season!
