Lists of Five
This week our Lists of Five: Five Butt Kicking Teams. What’s better than a butt kicking star in your film? A team of butt kicking people! Here are five movies with butt kicking teams.
Just a reminder, because we never like to just make things easy on ourselves, our lists are not necessarily top five lists, they are more or a less a list of film recommendations within the theme of the list.

Hey guys,
Potential new listener here. Been surfing around for a few new podcasts, and yours looks good- but it won’t download! iTunes won’t get it, and I can’t get it directly from here, either. I think the links don’t correspond with your hosting site, or your host is down, or something.
Anyway, hopefully, I’ll swing back around and your stuff will be back up. Like what I’ve seen so far, so keep up the good-looking work!
It seems our stats collector podtrac.com has gone down and the eps are stopping there. I have removed their link in the files for the last couple of eps of each show and they are feeding again. If the problem isn’t rectified by tomorrow I’ll dump Podtrac has a stat counter and get all the eps feeding again.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention and I hope you enjoy the shows.
EPIC film in every aspect!! Must see movie. If you haven’t seen this please hit yourself with a hammer. I joke… no seriously hit yourself.
Working now. I did indeed enjoy the shows. Well done, I think I’ll be listening more often :)
I’ve recently started listening to the podcast and am into it. Didn’t take long. Hard to believe no one included the Spartans from “300” for a buttkicking team.
