Mark and Niall discuss the 1993 action film Last Action Hero. Directed by John McTiernan, and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Charles Dance and Austin O’Brien, this incredibly expensive meta-action film tells the story of what happens when a kid is magically sucked into a fictional action movie that is full of explosions, clichés, and one-liners. In this episode, they discuss the gigantic production, script rewrites, and why it’s a cult classic. Enjoy!

So interesting how you suggest that the meta-ism may have gone over the heads of the younger audiences at the time of its release (when I was 12). That certainly was the case for me. I never cared for it until I saw it again (like 20 years later) in my 30s! Now I ADORE the film!
