150 movies entered the Octagon in our search for the Ultimate B-Movie. But a lot more films almost made the cut. In this series of 7, Jim, Jack, and Nic check out movies that would have fit in the Octagon but had something that would hold them back (usually budget or actual quality). The Vice President is being held at gunpoint. The Pittsburgh Civic Arena is wired with enough explosives to blow up the whole city. And if $1 billion isn't delivered soon, thousands will die... ...Darren McCord is in the arena. An arson investigator, he's seen what explosives can do to people. And he won't let it happen again. Because this time, one wrong move and his daughter dies, too...

It's a whole thing) Check out the list of everything we are doing this series at https://www.imdb.com/list/ls546093513/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk You can support our show and get access to exclusive content at https://www.patreon.com/cultfilmshowdown New levels added!
