Summary

Saving the best for last, Brian & Cargill warp up JCVDecember with Lionheart!

Van Damme shows some actual acting chops as he fights for family, fights for survival, fights...in Jeans?

Part Rocky, part Hard Times, part Street Fighter (much more so than the actual Street Fighter movie he starred in), Lionheart is the best non-meta JCVD flick, and we’ll work-boot-kick anyone who says otherwise!

0:00.0	This is junk food cinema.
0:03.0	Hi, this is Dick Miller.
0:16.1	You're listening to Junk Food Cinema on Film School rejects.
0:20.9	Who were these guys?
0:47.5	You're Van Dam right. It's another episode of junk food cinema here on the blog talk radio network brought to you by film school rejects.com.com. Dot com.
1:13.6	Dot running gag. I am your host, Brian Sousbury, and I'm joined as per usual by my friend and co-host. He's a novelist. He's a screenwriter. He's my professional fight manager as well as the lieutenant of Megaforce, Mr. C. Robert Cargill. Hi. How is that fight managing coming? Do you have, do you have you booked me any fights to the death yet? I have. Yeah. Should I not ask where they're taking place? No, no, you should absolutely not ask where they're taking place or who you're fighting.

1:21.0	That's what's happening?
1:21.8	Probably.
1:24.0	That's the kind of fight I think this movie would set up.
1:25.1	What's this movie? It's their cheese monger, actually. Oh, fucking cheese monger would be a great name for a big bad.
1:30.2	I am the cheese monger.
1:32.1	Oh, man.
1:33.2	It's like if Chippendale's Rescue Rangers did a version of this movie, the big bad
1:37.6	would totally be cheesemonger.
1:39.5	The weird thing is, I didn't think that was where you were going. And so I got different Chippendales in my head when you started that, which created a whole new version of the cartoon in my head that I don't want to see.
1:49.5	In the sequel to this movie, there could very well be a scene where Van Dam takes on two Chippendale's dancers, because I think it would actually fit in with what this movie is doing in terms of fight construction.
2:01.0	Speaking of second movie, we'll get there, but I personally believe that this is in a specific cinematic universe, that this is a prequel movie for a character that we'll talk about in a little bit.
2:14.2	Ooh, I love it.
2:15.2	Hey, speaking of listening to us talk, if you're interested in hearing more of what we're babbling about, you can always check out our back
