The Action Addicts

Scott Wiley - Action Films Connoisseur

Welcome to the Action Addicts Podcast! Join me your host Scott Wiley as we take a shotgun approach to movie analysis and reviews. Each week we have a different guest co-host from genre enthusiast or expert to industry insiders, we also have our 'conversation with' interview style episodes where we allow directors, actors, stunt performers and everyone in between the opportunity to have a deep discussion on their careers or projects. This genre is near and dear to my heart and I will always bring you underappreciated gems, cult classics and completely off topic tangents.
