612. Universal Soldier (1992)

*The Warlock opens the door to his lair. He’s wearing a Boston Celtics #0 Jayson Tatum jersey, blue jeans, white sneakers and gargoyle shades. He’s holding a glass of water*

W: Welcome to my lair….welcome I don’t think so, but enter. Enter my lair if you dare. I’m your host The Warlock.

*Warlock levitates before walking inside*

W: Tonight we’re going back to the past for a very special anniversary. Its been 30 years since the 1992 action movie UNIVERSAL SOLDIER came out. What’s this about? Zombies!! Well…kinda. Jean Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren are soldiers in Vietnam who kill each other and are brought back to life 20 years later as apart of a top secret super soldier program. Basically dead soldiers are reanimated and used by the government for black ops missions. Well what happens when the soldiers remember who they are and escape? That’s what we’re about to see,

*Warlock takes his seat in the middle of the couch*

W: Was this movie good? Oh hell yeah, its been a favorite of mine since the 90’s and its going to be fun to see it again. Does it hold up 30 years later? Who the hell cares. Its a Jean Claude Van Damme movie, not Shakespeare, its all about having fun. So grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for UNIVERSAL SOLIDER.
