Episode #201
So-so box office, lukewarm reviews, and a massive payday for the lead actor led to this movie being labeled as some sort of insane misfire. But it's not. To say movie nuts like thuis movie more now than they did back...
Episode #200
Cargill is back! And instead of covering something like freakin' Megaforce , we decided to have a long talk about the much-derided (but perhaps slightly overhated) Sinister 2 , a movie he wrote alongside his frequent...
Episode #199
At first glance you'd think "ew, what's that?" but then someone told you who the writers / director were and your brain said "whaaaaat?" Big thanks to my guest Paul Rosen of Piecing It Together podcast for picking this...
Episode #198
If you grew up loving Conan the Barbarian (1982) you probably also had some room in your heart for Conan the Destroyer (1984) and Red Sonja (1985). And if not, that's OK. For this episode I found a big Sonja supporter...
Episode #196
It's got its fair share of fans these days, but that was not the case back in 1995. Join me and my excellent first-time guest Simon Underwood as we discuss this kitschy curiosity that somehow stood the test of time...
Episode #195
The fifth and final film in our Dabney Coleman tribute is a wildly silly comedy about a talking horse who gives out good stock tips. Yes, really. Big thanks to this week's returning guest, friend and sponsor Aaron...
Episode #194
Our Dabney Coleman tribute continues with a virtually forgotten Tom Hanks spy farce that has one truly impressive ensemble cast. Big thanks to Cecil Trachenberg of Good Bad Flicks for choosing this one. Check out the...
Episode #193
Yes, I know it's a beloved movie, but it bombed at the box office and it was generally overlooked for ages, so we've decided to include the film in the Dabney Coleman tribute. And by we I mean me and frequent guest...
Episode #192
Our month-long tribute to Dabney Coleman continues, this time with a great little movie about a cop who thinks he's dying (but isn't) and then tries to get killed in the line of duty. Yes, really. And you won't believe...
Episode #190
No. not the super cool original with Keanu and the late., great Swayze; the remake! Yes, my friend (and astute film genius) Vince Mancini actually likes this remake. Listen in for why! Check out the list of episodes...
Episode #189
Returning guest Laurel Vail is queen of the weird '80s rom-coms. Last year she did an episode on Who's That Girl? and now she's backm to discuss Vibes . Yes, that weird '80s rom-com that stars Jeff Goldblum, Cyndi...
Leave it to a guy who co-hosts a podcast called Puppet Masters / Castle Freaks to defend the oft-dismissed second Hellraiser sequel! Big thanks to returning guest Jarrod Hornbeck for choosing a colorful horror flick to...
Overhated
The only thing I remember about Men at Work is that critics hated it. That's all I recall! But thankfully, returning guest and podcast producer (and film critic) Jim Laczkowski selected this Estevez Bros. comedy...
Episode #186
The fourth chapter in the Matrix saga gets the Overhated treatment, thanks to writer / director / movie nerd Brian Duffield, the man who gave us Spontaneous , No One Will Save You , and a bunch of other fun genre...
Episode #185
Richard Gere, Gene Hackman, and Denzel Washington? In a Sidney Lumet film? How could a movie like this be all but forgotten these days? I dig into it with filmmaker Rodney Ascher (back for his third episode) in this...
Episode #184
It's one of the most savagely derided films of the entire 1990s -- a decade that had no shortage of bad films -- but Showgirls has undergone something of a metamorphosis over the past few decades, despite still being...
Episode #183
It's Disney animation's most infamous box office failure, and my old friend Brian Salisbury (of Junkfood Cinema infamy) has a whole lot to rant about, and in rather profane fashion I might add. (warning: F bombs!) Check...
Episode #182
It's one of the most frequently ridiculed movies of all time, but of course I found someone to defend it! That's what this podcast does! Big thanks to my guest Dottie D. (@DottieDinoRAWR) for sparking a lively...
Episode #181
Every once in a while we get a movie that virtually everyone enjoys trashing. And of course there are always a few sincere defenders, like my old friend, filmmaker, and frequent Overhated guest Laurel Vail! (aka...
Episode #180
It seemed like a perfect pitch: Steve Martin covering similar ground to his hit Planes, Trains, and Automobiles , and pair him up with the hilarious Goldie Hawn, with whom Martin struck some gold in Housesitter a few...
