Three Word Seagal!

Episode 25 of the Film Pigs Podcast features a game suggested to us by frequent site commenter God. The object is to create 3-word titles for fictitious Seagal-esque movie synopses. I added the bonus rule of extra points if the title was made up of single-syllable words.

Here are the 11 synopses I wrote for the game in their complete run-on sentence glory. Add your titles to the comments below to complete this BLOG FOR JUSTICE! (1 point)

  2. Steven Seagal is Markus Blaze, a former Navy SEAL turned veterinarian in the Colorado mountains, he seeks only the quiet life when his best friend’s daughter, Seagal’s veterinarian assistant, is kidnapped by a meth-addled biker gang.
