Seagal Van Damme Thunderdome

In a world where movies rely on marketing more than ever to connect with audiences, one podcast aims to make sense of it all…

What’s in this episode?

On today’ episode we’re talking about Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme. Why? Because:

  • In the late 80s & 90s, these two continually challenged each other for the the title of second-tier Schwarzenegger-Stallone
  • Seagal and Van Damme reportedly also have beef in real life
  • Three decades after their cinematic peak it’s time to figure out who won the duel by throwing their careers into the Thunderdome
