Commissioned by Steven M. as part of the Month of Steven, this 1996 martial arts adventure finds Van Damme not just starring but directing \u2014 and the results are... surprisingly ambitious. In this episode:  Is The Quest Bloodsport in 1925, or Van Damme's Indiana Jones? Gene and Dick can't agree. Roger Moore shows up and completely steals the movie. Dick makes a controversial case that he may have been a better Bond than Connery. The tournament fighters are real martial artists \u2014 and it makes all the difference. Van Damme is obsessed with his legs. His eyes. And apparently, silk underwear. The orphans were definitely dead by the third act. We ran the timeline. What did the note say? This is the question that may never be answered.  Also in this episode: a listener reports that someone trained AI on Big D's voice to sell knives on TikTok, the guys lock in two months of Spooktacular horror films, Beastmaster gets commissioned, and next week brings a summer camp classic from 1979.
