In this episode of Entertain This!, we’re diving back into the 1988 high-concept comedy that defined the "unlikely pair" trope for a generation: Twins.

We break down the absolute genius of casting the world’s most muscular action star alongside the king of chaotic comedy—and why, against all laws of nature (and logic), it works perfectly. From the questionable science behind the "perfect human" experiment to the surprisingly wholesome brotherhood that emerges between Julius and Vincent, we’re dissecting it all.

Grab your favorite neon windbreaker and join us as we celebrate the most mismatched brothers in Hollywood history.

What other 80s odd-couple pairing deserves an episode breakdown?

"Who is your daddy, and what does he do?"

Grab your juice boxes and secure your nap mats, because this week on Entertain This!, Mitch and Tom are going undercover. That’s right—we’re strapping on our holsters and heading into the high-stakes, high-caffeine world of 1990’s Kindergarten Cop.

Join us as we analyze Arnold Schwarzenegger’s pivot from unstoppable cyborg assassin to... a man trying to manage a room full of toddlers. Does Arnie have the range, or are the kids actually the ones pulling the strings? We’re breaking down the film’s iconic quips, the jarring tonal whiplash between "gritty drug bust" and "finger painting," and why this movie remains an essential artifact of 90s cinema madness.

Buckle up, action figures, because this week Tom and Mitch are strapped to the teeth with camo face paint, infinite ammunition, and absolutely zero regard for physics. We are diving headfirst into the peak 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger masterpiece: Commando.

Join us as we break down the ultimate "one-man army" flick. Tom tries to calculate the exact structural integrity of Arnold carrying a massive log on his shoulder like it’s a pool noodle, while Mitch uncovers the real villain of the movie—not the dictatorial bad guys, but Bennett’s legendary, tight-fitting chainmail vest.

Grab your rocket launchers and your speedos. It’s time to eat some green berets for breakfast.

"I'll be back." It’s the phrase that launched a billion-dollar franchise, turned a former bodybuilder into an absolute icon, and gave everyone a permanent fear of red A.I.

This week on ‘Entertain This!’, Mitch and Tom are hopping into a stolen ’77 Chevy and tracking down James Cameron’s 1984 sci-fi masterpiece, ‘The Terminator’.

Join the guys as they break down the gritty, low-budget masterpiece that perfectly blended tech-noir atmosphere with relentless, heart-pounding action. Tom unpacks the tactical terrifying realism of a cybernetic organism that literally will not stop until you are dead, while Mitch tries to figure out the logistics of 1980s time travel physics (and why Kyle Reese decided to steal hobo pants and never upgrade).

From Brad Fiedel’s iconic, metallic heartbeat score to Stan Winston’s legendary practical effects, we are diving deep into why this gritty thriller still holds up over four decades later. Was Sarah Connor the ultimate blueprint for the modern action heroine? How did Arnold manage to be utterly terrifying with only 14 lines of dialogue? And honestly, how much chain-link fence is ‘too’ much chain-link fence for a final showdown?
Dust off your leather jacket, leave your phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range at home, and press play.

How do you transition from dominating local recreation leagues to navigating a post-apocalyptic political thriller or avoiding the Ozark cartels? You ask Darin Toonder.

This week on Entertain This!, we sit down with an incredibly versatile actor whose face you’ve undoubtedly seen on some of the biggest shows on television. We dive deep into his stacked resume, discussing what it’s like to bounce from the comedic perfection of Parks and Rec and Modern Family to the gritty tension of Ozark, his role as Agent Melvin Rainey in Hulu's Paradise, and his latest turn in the wild new supernatural horror movie, Obsession.

But acting is only half the story.

Before he was sharing scenes with Hollywood’s elite, Darin was building a legacy in a much more cutthroat arena: adult league softball. We also get a legendary tale on his rose-stealing abilities (yes, you read that right).

Grab your sunflower seeds and a cold drink—it’s time to talk shop, sports, and petty floral theft.

You get a laugh-out-loud cinematic juggernaut that feels like The Office met This Is Spinal Tap in the middle of a Hollywood red carpet, “I AM RYAN” releasing May 22nd in theaters.

This week, we are sitting down with the multi-hyphenate mastermind himself: Hobart!

From touring the world on the legendary Warped Tour to composing high-octane soundtracks for video games like Deadpool, Watch Dogs, and Age of Empires, Hobart has done it all.

Strap in for a trip down memory lane as Tom and I tackle the raw energy and wild antics of the 1987 blockbuster, ‘Predator’. We’re diving deep into the sweltering Mexican jungle to bring you the inside scoop on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s legendary onset pranks and the cast's off-screen rivalries that turned the heat up to eleven.
