This is part of the MJÖLNIR storyline. To catch up on previous events in the storyline check out episodes 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of CWA!

So folks let the drum roll begin....... Who might it be behind our Mystery door tonight!?

Let's see.....

Wait.......but that's Arnie!?

Indeed it is! It is our own Arnie in the movie Commando from 1985! And as it happens today the 26th of November is the birthday of one Mark L. Lester, the DIRECTOR of said movie!

So give a HUGE round of applause to Mr. Lester who celebrates his 77th birthday today!

And as it is Mark L. Lester's birthday today your host of the evening is NOT Arnold Schwarzenegger but one Colonel John Matrix!

Hut! Salute both the Colonel and the director!

But wait there is someone else behind the Mystery door......... It is Alyssa Milano!! Many of you know missis Milano from Charmed (Siskoni on noita, 1998 - 2006) and Double Dragon (1994).

Mrs. Milano also starred in Commando as Colonel John Matrix's daughter Jenny Matrix! As you can see from the pictures this is indeed a meeting of old friends yet again!

Alyssa Milano has the privilege of being the FIFTH contestant to try their luck on that Mjölnir that we have in the middle of our studio floor!

Will she be able to lift it and gain the powers of Thor himself!? Watch the episode and see!

Want to know how it all got started with Mjölnir in our talk show studio? Watch this!  

Unfortunately Mrs. Milano was not able to make the hammer move. Did it tremble? Some spectators say it did tremble just a teeny tiny bit but we are quite sure that was only in their imagination and the hammer stood there silently and totally dead still.

Better luck next time Alyssa!

Hey wait, that's a beautiful reindeer that just walked into our studio! Perhaps it came directly from Korvatunturi in the North of Finland where Santa Claus lives....

"Jenny, would you'd like to feed it?", asks Colonel Matrix.

See what we are referencing here!

Now that the reindeer has it's belly full it's time for the Matrix's to enjoy some late breakfast.

But suddenly military personnel appear in our studio!

It is Colonel Matrix's commanding officer and instructor Major General Franklin Kirby!

What can this all mean?!

Colonel Matrix and Major General take a little stroll and Kirby tells Matrix of how Captain Bennett and others from Matrix's old team have recently been killed and how the killers might be coming after Matrix next. The Major General leaves a couple of special ops. trained soldiers to guard Matrix and his daughter.

Colonel Matrix: "are they any good?"

Major General Kirby: "not as good as you Matrix!"

As Major General Kirby exits Colonel Matrix's premises shots are fired almost immediately. The special ops. soldiers are gunned down in an instant and Matrix jumps on his daughter to guard her form the flying bullets with his trained and strong body!

See what we are referencing!

And the scene we are referencing here! 

The Matrix's, both unharmed, then retreat to the corner of their house and Colonel Matrix takes out his weapon's arsenal that he keeps locked away in the shed. Now that both John and Jenny are armed to the teeth they can begin to try and find out who is after them!

Keep watching and see what happens to John and his daughter!

Fear not dear spectators!

It was of course all staged and no one was hurt in real life!

It was all done to honor the birthday hero of the day Mark L. Lester!

After that showdown Alyssa and Arnie have both so much adrenaline pumping through their bodies that they decide to have an arm wrestling match....

And believe it or not, Alyssa Milano wins!!

Whoa!

Now did Arnie lose on purpose......may be....the Austrian Oak looks defeated though. Just look at that expression! Who would have thought that Alyssa Milano is a hard core arm wrestler!?

Arnie confirms that Mrs. Milano has indeed some serious arm wrestling muscle!

Finally it's time for that long overdue late breakfast!

As they eat Arnie tells Alyssa of John Matrix's youth in East Germany.....

See what we are referencing here!

And finally they both send warm birthday celebration wishes to Mark L. Lester!

We bet you thought that was IT! Now it's just the selfies and the gallery pics and it's goodnight!

But we told you this episode was going to be special didn't we!?

So it ain't over 'til it's over!

As we have told you before, this is not a regular talk show and on CWA we can have persons visit our show in spirit that no longer are with us in this realm.

Tonight we have the privilege of having one such person visit our show....

Give a very warm welcome to Mister Brandon Lee!

Lee sadly passed away in 1993 at the age of 28. Nevertheless tonight he is here on the show with us!

So do welcome our second guest of the evening Mister Brandon Lee!

Before we did anything else Mr. Lee had to try his luck on the Mjölnir. He became the SIXTH contestant to try and lift it off the floor! Keep watching and you shall see how he fared!

Although we love having him on the show any day of the year Mr. Brandon Lee is not here tonight by chance.

Namely he acted in a movie called Showdown in Little Tokyo from 1991. Mr. Lee starred in the movie along with Dolph Lundgren....and guess who directed the movie?

You said it.....

Mark!

L.!

Lester!

So as another homage to the birthday hero of the day we recreated the iconic movie poster for Showdown in Little Tokyo! See what we are referencing here!  

Thank you Mark L. Lester for such fond childhood memories and magical movie moments! Commando and Showdown in Little Tokyo are top notch action classics and they have both survived the test of time! These movies still kick ass in 2023!

And folks, that's it for tonight!

Now it's time for the end of show routines and then it is a wrap!

As you can see unfortunately Mr. Lee did not fare any better than the previous FIVE contestants. The Mjölnir stands exactly where it stood before he tried his hands on it!

So good night folks and we sincerely appreciate you for watching the show! We hope you enjoyed this evening's very special birthday show for Mark L. Lester! Thank you for watching and for coming along for the ride!

CWA will return in episode 14 (!) sooner than you'd ever imagine!

Oh...wait..... we almost forgot!!

We STRONGLY recommend you to keep watching the coming episodes because at the start of December we are going to have one heck of a special episode for you!

Indeed we are! It has to do with that magical hammer and how to have it removed form the studio! And it will surely be something all you fans WILL APPRECIATE!

So DO KEEP WATCHING! YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THAT EPISODE!

So stay tuned! Indeed do! See you next time, good night!!
