"I Must Break" This Podcast - The Expendables 2

Published: July 18, 2021, 4:01 a.m.

It's time to go back to war and join everyone\u2019s favorite band of mercenaries for another adventure! On this month\u2019s episode, All Outta Bubblegum\u2019s Brenton Haysom is back once again as we discuss the second installment in The Expendables trilogy, 2012\u2019s The Expendables 2! In this action-packed showdown, Sylvester Stallone reunites his battle-hardened team of all-star tough guys \u2014 Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, and Jet Li for their next battle! This time, the team find themselves on a quest for revenge after their newest recruit is killed by international arms dealer Jean Vilain (played by the Muscles From Brussels himself, Jean-Claude Van Damme)! And joining the Expendables in this fight, some other iconic action stars are also along for the ride including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, and Chuck Norris! How does the film do at balancing the weight of its star-studded cast? Is the film\u2019s meta-nature a perk to the movie or an insult? Why is Dolph\u2019s Gunnar character treated as the comic relief? And just how amazing is Jean-Claude\u2019s villain character? Join Brenton and I as we crack open a couple Belgian ales (in celebration of Van Damme\u2019s inclusion!) and geek out for The Expendables 2!
