Eraser (1996) - a podcast by The Back Row Network

On the premiere episode of Hold My Popcorn, the gang gratefully wraps up their extended Arnold Schwarzenegger month with 1996’s Eraser: directed by the guy who made the Mask and costarring Sunny from the Godfather.

If you love watching 80’s action movies stuck in the mid 90’s, then this is the film for you. Why is it almost impossible to understand a word that Arnold is saying? Are the Chinese women living in Chinatown allowed into the Yakuza? How can Arnold say he works alone in one scene, but the next scene he's doing a job with James Caan in the next? Why is there a wind tunnel in James Cromwell’s office when the window is broken, yet there is no wind to speak of when Arnold opens the emergency door to that airplane?  

There’s plenty to talk about including terrible Italian mob stereotypes, Arnold’s inability to display sexual tension with anything other than weapons, an appearance from Robert Kraft and Ice-T in a northern New Jersey gay bar, and much more! So get your buttered popcorn ready because it’s going to get slippery!
