💣 It’s 1985. Reagan’s in the White House, MTV’s on your tube, and two of the most testosterone-fueled action films ever explode into theaters: Rambo: First Blood Part II and Commando.

In this first half of our two-part throwdown, Jason and Dee go full combat mode to compare and contrast these two action juggernauts. Strap in as we:

🎬 Explore the origins of both movies — how Vietnam, politics, and popcorn collided

💥 Break down the cast of Rambo, from Stallone’s brooding one-man army to his band of misfit mercs

🪖 And dive deep into the Stallone vs. Schwarzenegger rivalry — a flex-off that started in the ’70s and turned into a cinematic arms race that lasted for decades

Who had the bigger muscles, the crazier kill count, and the sharper knife? And which one was really pulling the strings behind the scenes?

🔥 This is just Part 1. In Part 2, we’ll settle the score and make the ultimate call:

Which movie is the true king of 1985 action cinema — Rambo or Commando?

🎧 Lock, load, and press play — because the 80s action war has just begun.

This week, Jason and Dee are back with another head-to-head rock 'n' roll showdown! We're diving deep into Tesla's breakthrough 1989 album The Great Radio Controversy — track by track. From the raw power of “Hang Tough” to the heartfelt anthem “Love Song,” we break down the stories, the riffs, and the band dynamics that made this album a staple of late '80s rock.

Along the way, we explore the history of Tesla — the roots of their blue-collar sound, the personalities behind the music, and the moments that turned this record into a platinum hit.

And don’t touch that dial — because at the end, we bring it all home by giving our final verdict: Which album reigns supreme — Tesla’s The Great Radio Controversy or The Black Crowes’ Shake Your Money Maker?

Plug in, turn it up, and join us for a full-throttle rock breakdown, Surely-style! 🤘
