232: Suburban Commando

We're rockin' the suburbs on this month's Talking Taker as we finally cover The Undertaker's cinematic debut! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their encyclopedic exploration digging up The Dead Man as we take our time-traveling hearse back to 1991 to cover the cult classic film "Suburban Commando" starring Hulk Hogan, Christopher Lloyd, Shelley Duvall, and, yes, Mark Calaway as a bounty hunter trying to hunt down the international space agent Shep Ramsey. Our Pod Street Krew has been begging us to cover this movie for years and boy did it deliver! We'll break down all the insanity including Hulk rapping on the soundtrack, the nighttime street mime, freeze ray guns, the absolutely bonkers rapid timeline of the movie, Shep's incredible wardrobe, Larry Miller stealing the show, drunk Army captains, flying skateboards, and, of course, Taker's infamous one line of "dialogue" in the movie. Plus we read some 5 star reviews from Amazon, share some behind the scenes trivia, and answer the age-old debate: is "Suburban Commando" a Christmas movie?! All that and we take a look back at the year of Undertaker Sightings in 2024 including his blockbuster WrestleMania run-in and his role in the Presidential election. Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!
