The Specialist LIVE! w/ Nicole Byer (HDTGM Matinee)

Before F1 The Movie came Sylvester Stallone's 2001 motorsports drama Driven—a movie in which Formula 1 refused to participate and resulted in the end of Sly's relationship with director Renny Harlin. LIVE from Vancouver, Paul, June, & Jason discuss all the montages set to rap rock, Burt Reynolds' desire to sit down, the deadly Chicago street race, Gina Gershon's fashion arc, a 55-year-old Stallone playing a 37-year-old, the daycare right next to the racetrack, and so much more. Plus, they ask important questions like "Did Memo want to get cucked?" and "Can you have 2 blonde men on screen together?" Keep humming Joe!

We continue Paul's journey to interview Sylvester Stallone, as Jack McBrayer, David Wain, and Paul's Mom join him on this edition of Paul's lost Sylvester Stallone Podcast. But first, Paul answers all your Corrections & Omissions on Expend4bles and shares an exclusive deleted scene from that episode. Plus as always, at the end of the show we announce next week's new movie!

Imagine Dirty Harry, but more violent and with robots. Brian Posehn (The Big Bang Theory) and musician Rhett Miller help Paul, Jason, & June cover the 1986 Sylvester Stallone action thriller Cobra. LIVE from Bumbershoot in Seattle, they discuss everything from Stallone’s obsession with food, the modeling shoot music video, and the New Order’s decision to attack in bright daylight. Plus, Jason reveals his childhood fear of killer clowns. Feel the heat! (Originally Released 11/13/2012)

Stallone Summer continues with 2023's Expend4bles (aka The Expendables 4), a movie that's essentially a senior citizen Fast & Furious. LIVE from San Francisco, Jessica St. Clair starts to lose her mind but nevertheless helps Paul & Jason cover Stallone & Statham's sexual chemistry, protocol for using brass knuckles, Sly's skull ring, the motorcycle chase on a boat, all the awful green screen, the Megan Fox & Jason Statham sex scene, the bonkers list of actors considered for Andy Garcia's role, and so much more.

SNL's Bobby Moynihan joins Paul, Jason and June to cover the 1987 arm wrestling Sylvester Stallone classic, Over The Top. The crew discuss everything from the weird father/son relationship to the movie basically becoming a high stakes arm wrestling documentary. They also talk about the Alka-Seltzer product placement, arm wrestling toys, and why being able to drive a truck makes you smart. (Originally Released 07/30/2013)
