Reindeer Games (2000) - Ben Affleck, Charlize Theron, Gary Sinise 1:16:41

1:16:41

It's December, which means we have an excuse to watch movies that people say are Christmas movies, but aren't actually Christmas movies. And we're starting with the action film everyone always insists is a Christmas movie, Reindeer Games. Featuring Ben Affleck's eyebrows, Sinise at his most Sinisiest, and Theron giving more depth to her character t…

Army of One (2016) Nicolas Cage, Russell Brand 1:06:22

1:06:22

It is the joy of every movie podcast to finally get to do a Nicolas Cage film. When the synopsis of the film is Cage is a man who is on a mission from God to hunt down Bin Laden, you become even more excited. Everything is primed for something to go gloriously wrong. And it does. It’s horrible. Not in a fun way. As always, this episode is edited an…

The Assignment (2016) Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez, Tony Shalhoub 1:14:32

1:14:32

Flock of Seagals is changing things up. We've done 12 episodes of FoS that we're immensely proud of, that we did without the knowledge of the recent allegations against Steven Seagal. In light of these new accusations, and learning the full breadth of what they encompass, we've decided we're not gonna give him any more publicity, however small it m…

Pistol Whipped 1:32:28

1:32:28

Pistol Whipped is a film the way Totino’s Pizza Rolls are calzones. There are recognizable shapes and textures, it seems vaguely familiar to something you’ve enjoyed before, but ultimately you’re left feeling empty inside. With Totino’s all you need to do is rip open another pack, but there is nothing to fill the void Pistol Whipped will leave in y…

Out for Justice 56:00

56:00

This week Dan, Tony and Riley go back to the days when a cop could get clearance and a shotgun from his lieutenant to go kill William Forsythe. Simpler times indeed. They dive into the crack epidemic, the lack of “beefy boy” fights in modern cinema and Chekov’s garbage puppy. They also discuss the legendary pants accident Seagal allegedly suffered …

The Perfect Weapon Analysis 1:02:25

6+ y ago1:02:25

1:02:25

This week is a doozy: 2016's The Perfect Weapon, where Seagal plays Dictator of America in 2029. We've made a lot of comparisons to Trump in the past, but this is terrifyingly real. Anyways! The film is available to rent on a lot of major platforms for a very reasonable price, and is well worth it! As always, this episode is edited and produced by …

1:25:59

Announcement: Flock of Seagals is now going weekly! You in no way demanded it and now it is a reality! Here's how things are gonna go down: We noticed that a lot of our episodes were going over the time it would take to watch the movie, so we decided to start doing commentary tracks for the films the first week, so you'll have a chance to watch the…

Belly of the Beast 1:28:38

6+ y ago1:28:38

1:28:38

Belly of the Beast is the movie Riley has been waiting for since this podcast started. Cheap sets, mid-90s decor, the legendary Ching Siu-tung and an uncooperative Seagal combine to make a disasterously bonkers film that feels more like a rejected Alias spinoff with supernatural elements. However, just because the movie doesn't amount to the sum of…

Steven Seagal: Lawman (S01E01-04) 53:24

6+ y ago53:24

53:24

This may very well be the most important episode of Flock of Seagals we've ever done. Riley and Michael are joined by friends Jamie and Anthony to discuss the first four episodes of Steven Seagal's 2009 reality tv show Steven Seagal: Lawman. What starts off as a discussion of Seagal's enigmatic persona only being enriched by the menial policing he …

The Patriot 1:42:50

1:42:50

This week we discuss Seagal's first direct-to-video release, the unfortunately titled "The Patriot". Topics such as "why is he playing a Native American" and "why is the Army throwing the raw ingredients to a cure to the disease out of helicopters instead of making a cure and handing it out" are brought up, but no answers are found. That being said…

Cartels 1:23:06

7y ago1:23:06

1:23:06

This week we're discussing Cartels, released internationally last year as Killing Salazar but which got an American theatrical release last week. Which means you could theoretically go out and see this film right now in a movie theatre. It also means we are very ON BRAND and SEO OPTIMIZING because everyone is searching for the latest Steven Seagal …

Exit Wounds 1:38:45

7y ago1:38:45

1:38:45

Steven Seagal as the Steven Seagal character. DMX as a software engineer. Tom Arnold as a daytime television host. Anthony Anderson as someone who was asked to "play up" his characters craziness too much. What would you do if you were the owner of $9.99.com and your brother was wrongfully convicted of heroin possession? Probably not what the charac…

The Glimmer Man 1:35:21

1:35:21

Episode 3 starts hard and fast with a just past his prime Seagal. Seriously! We discuss how Keenen Ivory Wayans' shot at being an action star was dashed by an uncooperative co-star, interesting fashion choices and Brian Cox-as-savior. There's a lot to unpack

Above the Law 1:15:21

7y ago1:15:21

1:15:21

In this episode, Michael, Riley and Dylan go back to where it all began: Above the Law, a movie originally written with Clint Eastwood in mind, presumably with less aikido. With some interesting rewrites, and the gravitas of Henry Silva, it became the very confused little cousin of The Manchurian Candidate, and completely wastes the talents of a ve…

Contract to Kill 1:35:08

1:35:08

In the inaugural episode of Flock of Seagals, Michael and Riley first discuss why they are doing this, the enigmatic nature of Steven Seagal, and then are joined by Dylan to discuss Seagal's 4th film of 2016, Contract to Kill, which is 15 minutes of entertainment, followed by 90 minutes of winded exposition. The boys ponder many of the poor choices…
