About That Action

Expendables 3. Piccolos Cloaca. SNL Effect. Gibson's Voicemails

The fellas are getting close to finishing out the Expendables block with a high point for The Expendables 3. Although made to be PG-13, it more than makes up for the lack of blood and guts with far more interesting dialogue and fleshed out characters. Action movies are often times defined by the villain and Expendables 3 delivers with (the otherwise level headed and kind) Mel Gibson as Conrad Stonebanks. Tune in to the episode to find out what makes Conrad a worthy adversary for Barney Ross and how the new class of Expendables adds up to the ones we all know and love. All that and more on About That Action!
