This week on Scottscope
Talk Radio, we’ll be discussing our favorite holiday themed genre
films. From Die Hard to Lethal Weapon
to Halloween (and all flicks in
between), we’ll be talking about the movies that best capture the spirit of
their assigned holiday. Is it
inappropriate to set violent action films during Christmas time? Was the pre-millennial tension in Strange Days in keeping with Y2K
hysteria? Did Gremlins represent the perfect blend of horror, humor, and holiday
cheer?

Amazing Attractions: ‘Pain And Gain’ Trailer
I was a really skinny kid growing up. I also had the misfortune of being raised on
superhero comics and action films.
Perhaps that’s why I developed a fascination with bodybuilding in by
late teens. Though I never became a practitioner,
I have a certain amount of respect for the sport. Sculpting one’s body to such a degree takes
dedication and discipline. Apparently, such
qualities eluded Miami’s Sun Gym gang. While packing on muscle mass, they also
packed pistols and committed crimes. Their
not-so-legendary exploits are now the subject of Michael Bay’s latest bit of
visual junk food, Pain And Gain.
