Everything Actioncast: The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)
This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris jump back into the world of Richard B. Riddick for both the 20th anniversary of The Chronicles of Riddick and the debut of The Boys season 4, which stars Riddick co-star Karl Urban.
Set five years after Pitch Black, infamous convict Riddick (Vin Diesel) has been hiding out from mercenaries but gets drawn into a larger universal conflict and on the bad side of the Necromongers, a powerful race that is sweeping across the galaxy, conquering and destroying every planet in their path. Riddick also learns that he is a Furyan, an ancient warrior race that was the only one who could stand against the Necromongers. Zach and Chris discuss if Riddick’s “eyeshine” is really a tactical advantage, how the sequence on Crematoria could have been the entire movie, the massive expansion to the universe of Riddick, the dodgy early aughts CG effects, and more.
You can watch The Chronicles of Riddick on Hulu or Peacock. Next week, we’re getting shrunk with Honey, I Shrunk the Kids to celebrate its 35th anniversary.
