Didn't Go Platinum
Podcast Description
Didn't Go Platinum is the podcast that looks at the unloved and the overlooked from the world of heavy metal. We ignore the classics and instead, focus on the lesser-discussed gems. Whether it's a rarely mentioned entry from giants like Iron Maiden, or a relatively obscure British thrash band's forgotten comeback, we're interested. Where other metal podcasts look at Rust In Peace, Painkiller and Number Of The Beast, we'd rather discuss Five Serpents' Teeth and Dance Of Death.

It's a special episode of the Didn't Go Platinum podcast, as Tim is joined by Dr Hell and Count Gravedigga of Evil Scarecrow for a trip to the cinema! We're revisiting the soundtrack to Last Action Hero, the cult classic Arnold Schwarzenegger movie from 1993.
With a host of artists on the track list, including AC/DC, Cypress Hill, Queensryche, Alice In Chains, and Anthrax (kinda), this soundtrack is a snapshot of nineties alt-music. Hard rock, rap, and thrash metal sit side-by-side as Arnie delivers one-liners, bad guys get gunned down, and Charles Dance portrays a character so evil, he'd make Tywin Lannister wince.
And along the way, we discover the origin of the word 'wanker.'
There are a few tangents in this episode.
