Love all the guests but Asim on the last episode was exceptional.
I need to see myself represented, if a film doesn’t have an Exploding Helicopter I won’t watch it.
Always the first thing I listen to when it pops up in my feed.
Will and his guests always have a fun and engaging conversation about a film that is not always a B action film, but always has an exploding helicopter, and I always enjoy myself listening to it.

This series centers on action cinema with a distinctive obsession: exploding helicopter set-pieces. Across episodes, conversations thread through micro- and no-budget filmmaking, B-movie production quirks, and the cultural footprint of cult and genre titles from the 1980s–1990s onward. Hosts balance affectionate critique with sharp commentary on craft, budget constraints, and the spectacle of helicopter explosions, often inviting guests who bring deep genre knowledge and niche fandom insight.
