Need 4 Speed kicks off the Month of Action early with the 1998 film, Black Dog!!!

Patrick Swayze plays Jack Crews, an ex-con truck driver hauling a mysterious load across the South while the FBI, ATF, Meatloaf, and his own past ride shotgun...all to save his family's home and lives. It’s got everything you want from late 90s action: spectacular highway stunts, growling diesels, Randy Travis playing truck stop good ol’ boy, and a plot that shifts gears every ten minutes. If you grew up on country radio and B-movie thrills, Black Dog still feels like a beer and a burnout at sunset.

An EXCESSIVE amount of talent, an EXCESSIVE amount of twists, and an EXCESSIVE amount of roundhouse kicks fill the screen in 1992’s Excessive Force! Thomas Ian Griffith writes, produces, and stars in this crime thriller alongside James Earl Jones, Tony Todd, and Lance Henriksen that entangles everyone in a war between the mob and crooked cops. The action gets brutal and intense with an EXCESSIVE amount of shootouts and mob hits, but you'll get the occasional chance to catch your breath before you're thrown back into the action!

Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!

Tonight on After Hours Cinema: Pete takes us on a trip back to the 70s, where you could still smoke wherever you wanted to and demon baby movies are rated PG. Captain Pete chose the 1974 iteration of It's Alive for this month on AHCRAP, and, surprisingly, it was a first-time watch for the both of us. (despite Pete being born in the 1800s) Regardless of its "schlock" demeanor, this film actually has some charm to it. We hope you enjoy this month's episode as we prepare for MONTH OF ACTION in July!
