The podcast where we choose an actor (or other type of famous individual) and talk about their first starring role in a film. Are they meant to be a Hollywood Star or is the silver screen just not for them. Let’s find out! Update: We changed our name as a chance to branch out and be a little more creative! We’re not does just doing your favorite actor’s first starring role anymore. WE CAN REVIEW WHATEVER WE WANT NOW!
Ben and Doug strap in for Suburban Commando, Hulk Hogan’s big-screen “redemption” after the wonderfully bad No Holds Barred—and with the recent loss of the Hulkster, it feels like the right time to revisit a role that is out of this world (quite literally).
The question hanging over the film: will this finally make Hogan a star? Earthling-hating Shep Ramsey crash-lands in suburbia and faces off against child-voiced bounty hunters, a villain who could pass as your next-door neighbor, skateboards, sentient car alarms, and whatever else the suburbs throw his way.
Ben and Doug dig into the bizarre blend of sci-fi (if you can call it that) and slapstick, the jokes that actually land, and whether this movie proved that Hogan belonged on the silver screen—or if he was better off staying in the squared circle.

No Holds Barred (1989) - Starring Hulk Hogan
What's that smell? It smells like a professional wrestler's attempt at ditching the big gold belt to pursue a little gold statuette. The Hulkster had faced many opponents in the ring, but in 1989, he was about to face something much worse.... film critics! Will this film be regarded as the heavyweight champion of the world, or is this a just a big ol' pile of d-d-d-d-d-d-doooooookie!
