About this listen

 How long could an average person survive as the hero in classic action movies? It's our job to find out. Covering a different movie every episode, we discuss how someone with no training or special skills would fare in place of the protagonist, counting the possible fatalities along the way. Our self imposed rules of the game: 1) One Death per Scene; 2) Plot Armour - We are afforded the same 'luck' as the hero; 3) Rules of that Universe Apply - We assume a level of familiarity with any alternate history, technology or anything supernatural from the universe; and 4) Reasonable Progression - We progress from one scene to the next if it is reasonable to do so, if we would take a different path than the hero.

    Episode 1 covers the 2008 Liam Neeson classic 'Taken'. As this is our first one it is very much a rough cut but we felt it was worth releasing as it gives people an idea of how the concept has developed. It is not essential but watching the movie beforehand will improve the listening experience. Feel free to skip to episode 3 if you want to start where we (sort of) got the hang of things.

    Episode 2 covers the 2009 John Cena action movie '12 Rounds'. We were still working things out in this one, but think it is still worth a listen. It is not essential but watching the movie beforehand will improve the listening experience. Feel free to skip to episode 3 if you want to start where we (sort of) got the hang of things.

    What better movie for our Christmas special than the 1988 action thriller 'Die Hard'? This is the first proper, slightly more polished episode, so thanks for sticking with us. It is not essential but watching the movie beforehand will improve the listening experience.
