Well, first things first: we're sorry to have left all of you hanging. But as you all know, it aint over until the fat lady sings and we've been dealing out dieting recipes.
This is our bon bons of the past year: that is, the best stuff from the movies we watched for Pod Hard in 2020.
We list, among many things, best geezer alert, best taken aback-moments, best doll-action, best chase scenes, best camera techniques, best all around stunts and best douchebag behaviour from the hero.
Thanks for listening!

Action Movie History 1939 (Stagecoach)
Yeehaw! Pod Hard is finally trampling all over the western genre and starts off in the best possible way - by watching one of the all-time greats, John Ford's Stagecoach.
Jonas Högberg & Anders Hultqvist are instantly smitten with the iconic stock characters that share a ride through Apache territory in 1880 and applaud Ford for his flawless tension building. Orson Welles saw Stagecoach 40 times before directing Citizen Kane. This film was his film school!
John Wayne is the original Arnold Schwarzenegger, Donald Meek plays his own name, Monumental Valley is all that and legendary stunt man and stunt coordinator Yakima Canutt is showing off.
Stagecoach is Michael Curtiz-approved, geezer-approved and Pod Hard-approved.
"Well, I guess you can't break out of prison and into society in the same week."

Action Movie History 1937 (The Prisoner of Zenda)
Pod Hard is back... with another swashbuckler?
Well, yes. But don't worry - The Prisoner of Zenda absolutely nails a key aspect of action films: the banter. The swordplay is okay at best, but the relentless and poisonous banter between Ronald Colman and Douglas Fairbanks Jr is simply tops.
Jonas Högberg & Anders Hultqvist discuss slippery handshakes, the opposite of baby skinned David Niven, how to hold a cigarette like a nazi officer, elevator gazes, the framing of castles and a geezer going down on his own mustache.
Kick yourself in the garden and get back in.
"Touché, Rassendyll! I cannot get used to fighting furniture - where did you learn it?"
