Lionheart / a.k.a. Wrong Bet (1990)

Summary: 030 - A big change of pace this week as we delve back into the world of Jean-Claude Van Damme. Why? Because every 10th episode of this very podcast will be dedicated to ‘the muscles from Brussels’, so just get on board. This movie is an interesting one, and goes by many names - Lionheart, Wrong Bet, AWOL, Full Contact, Lyon - but can you call it a classic? This next chapter in our ongoing JCVD saga explores the star’s more serious acting aspirations, his tendency toward bromantic themes, and we explore his place within the broader latpack ecosystem.
