In the meantime, here's your clue as to the film:

GYMKOMMENTARY #6: Rambo: First Blood Part II

On Gymkommentary 6: Rambo: First Blood Part II: Leonard Part 6, Matt and Chris head back to Vietnam, a land of exotic beauty, blatantly racist dialogue, and architecture that explodes when you shoot it with an arrow. Rambo's gonna take a mulligan on that whole Vietnam War thing: and this time, we get to WIN, thanks to Sly Stallone's rippling physique and flapping jowls. Grab some popcorn and a good supply of bodybags, and prepare yourselves for the bloodiest Gymkommentary ever.

On this enthralling edition of Gymkommentary, Matt and Chris head off to Summersisle where the women paint their faces like villains from the original Star Trek, the men are mute sex slaves, and Nicholas Cage calls little girls liars and kicks Leelee Sobieski right in her talk hole. I know it sounds like the greatest place on earth, but don't go buying a timeshare just yet! For this island carries a terrible secret. What could it be? I don't want to spoil anything, but here's a hint: it rhymes with "schmooman hackrifice." Truly these are our favorite things, our favorite things.

GYMKOMMENTARY #4: Can't Stop the Music

It's fun to listen to:

GYM!

KOM!

MEN!

TARY!

It's fun to listen to:

GYM!

KOM!

MEN!

TARY!

It has everything
That you're meant to enjoy
It's guaranteed not to annoy

And so on. We'll get to the synchronized dancing later.


In the Navy, you can put your mind at ease. In Gymkommentary, you can put your mind in a small box you keep in the back of your closet. You will not be needing it.

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A. but it's even more fun to do it with us. Did you know that Steve Guttenberg created the Village People while wearing painter's overalls? Me neither. But it's true! CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC wouldn't lie. Join Chris and Matt on a heavily mustachioed odyssey through the fascinating history of the greatest band ever.
