A bunch of cinephiles and retro TV connoisseurs group together to talk about ridiculous Action/Crime/Horror genre tropes, deadly protagonists, outrageous body counts, political conspiracies, over-the-top gimmick-driven premises and the merit of various franchises.
This hospital drama ran for 5 years on NBC and got a bigger streaming audience on Netflix but what does it offer to stand apart from others in this genre? What are some dramatically rewarding segments often featured here? What music helps elevator the various character's mood swings? And what other positives can you find here in this already oversaturated market of various programming?

Join me for this fun yet brief film history overview on the Commando Cody character in fiction. Popularized by the Radar Men from the Moon serials which were later shown on MST3k and which inspired The Rocketeer, what do these '40s short films have that you didn't get from Lone Ranger type fare?

The In Your Earholes podcast network duo join the annual award show for more unconvincing set designs, crazy wardrobe, nonsensical scripts & amazing scenery chewing- all of it worth of getting some 'endearing" awards. Who doesn't want some laid-back sarcasm in under half an hour? MUSIC INTRO USED: "Firebrand" (MXC Theme Song) by Bumblefoot "Whose Line?" Theme Outro
Oreo Brewer returns to the show to highlight the tie-in material for the CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK universe. Where can one find the motion comics for the first and third movie? What cool new characters voiced by famous actors appeared in both SPLINTER CELL inspired videogames? Was the anime movie by the AEON FLUX creator any good? Maybe DC Comics Animation Director Sam Liu can help bring another Riddick anime to life should the 4th live-action film not come out anytime soon?
In this minisode, we do a brief overview on the pros and cons of both SHIN GODZILLA (2016) and GODZILLA MINUS ONE (2024). TALKING POINTS: *James also recounts what else he saw at the recent Boston Film Festival that GODZILLA MINUS ONE was showing at *For both two new takes during this Reiwa Era, which is the superior Japanese version of the iconic monster? *Is Godzilla really a Digimon/Pokemon given his amount of evolving? *And some other fun takes on two largely agreeable creature features.
I present to you a mini-overview on these European spy action films with an all-star cast: a double feature of the ANTI-TERROR CELL movies! Is this one of the few times we've seen Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy) play a good guy? Why did these not get picked up to series? Who else is in this stacked cast? And do the thrills deliver?

Welcome to a themed week on Antiheroes in Fiction: To start off, I summarize your parent's favorite '80s NBC Dramas by Steven Bochco. Does L.A. Law hold any muster or is it sadly rather dated? Is there anybody likeable on the Serpico-inspired drama Hill Street Blues or is it only a cesspool of crooked bastards? Aside from their cultural influence, what other material and dramatic impact did they leave? Find out in this fun revisit! SONG USED "L.A. Law" theme songs by Mike Post
It was time for another actor retrospect where we take review movies on their resume with similar themes. This time we get to tackle 4 Rebecca De Mornay slashers/psycho thrillers: *The Hand That Rocks the Cradle *Table for One *Identity *Mother's Day (2010) Which of these stands out the most? Which of these is sadly underrated? Plus, Oreo & I joke how we're so glad we're not at any creepy places as depicted in these movies!
We do our final discussion on the FX cable TV show THE SHIELD with a villains retrospect: *When you're all a group of crooked cops, who's ultimately the worst of the bunch? *Which of the serial killers and gangsters were also very freaky? *And we get to play some awesome clips from the show as well as a clip from Walton Goggin's interview on The Rich Eisen Show! OUR GUESTS INCLUDE: Josh Hansen (Action Movie Book Club) Carlo Giovannetti (The Movie Loot) SONG USED: "Cop Killer" by Ice-T & Body Count
In this minisode, we do another special editions/director's cut versions overview and this time it's over A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 5 & 6. For Elm Street 5, we mention scenes from the Unrated Cut which was never restored past its VHS release. For Part 6, we discuss all 4 versions: the theatrical, home video, workprint & UPN TV edit. Do any of these change the infamy associated with these cult movie sequels or are there some gems worth seeking out here?

What happens when you mash-up GROUNDHOG's DAY with SCREAM? You get mixed results at best! What do these slasher dark comedies get right and what do they get (mostly) wrong? Is Bear McCreary's score worth a listen on its own merit? Is anyone noteworthy here or do they essentially all become variations of the same kind of cliche characters this genre is known for? All that and more summaries during Slasher September!

Before The Asylum became the main production outlet for SyFy Channel Original Movies, they were coming up with even quirkier low-budget B-movie material. I sum up the Killer Scarecrow trilogy, some surprisingly then-unknown and genre favorite actors who make cameos and the other shenanigans that entail in this film (all inbetween whacky reactions)!
We conclude the week with this awesome re-edit where my 3 incredible guests and I conclude the highlights, fight scenes, dramatic reveals & social commentary on Showtime's edgy show RAY DONOVAN. Our Well-Worded Guests: Tara Jabbari (Who Was She?, Mediamaker Spotlight) Katie Geilenkirchen (Retromade Podcast, One More Round) Hal Rudnick (Screen Junkies, Upright Citizen's Brigade)
Patricia Highsmith is both a terrible person and a great author who's Tom Ripley character was adapted into so many different movies and recently a Netflix mini-series. Here, I get to do an overview of the different portrayals of the character as well as why this con artist turned murderer is so endlessly fascinating to see adapted!
We were overdue to do a look at the themes, character arcs & franchise closure in the final years of BETTER CALL SAUL.

OUR GUESTS INCLUDE: Kevin “The Critic” Thomas Josh Hansen (Action Movie Book Club) Adam Silva Josh Mattson (Twist My Arm)
To continue the Gangster themed week, author Corey Danna, blogger Fred Andersson & HK movie fanatic Mark Shaver all enter the recording studio! Why was Jackie Chan's STUNTMASTER the ultimate experimental PS1 videogame for both gamers and his established fanbase? Why was Jet Li's RISE TO HONOR the ultimate send-up of both his HK and U.S. movies while mixing in some MATRIX and John Woo tropes? Did either game have some neat button combos or did they mainly benefit from word-of-mouth recommends by fans? OTHER SHOW NOTES: *Mark better details the fighting mechanics, motion capture graphics & what a collector's item the Jackie Chan videogame is *Mark also shares trivia on how Rise to Honor's Cantonese dialogue was overdubbed and the background on the game's setting *Mark brings up some other obscure Jackie Chan games (as well as an infamous Bruce Lee game) that showed how licenses for these Action hero icons evolved overtime in the industry and the continual mix of rap music with Kung Fu scenarios in the videogames *And Corey also brings up other cool Hong Kong trivia & other John Woo/Chou-Yun Fat stories including how he was at the premiere of The Replacement Killers!

I do a fun expose on the Brazillian crime epics CITY OF GOD (a rightful award-winner) and its like-it-or-hate-it sequel CITY OF MEN from five years later. What other relevant projects have the filmmakers worked on since? Is the TV show streaming anywhere? And why do so many love the dark comedy & GOODFELLAS inspired narration in the original gem of a film? Get ready to steal that night!
Teacher/Actress Gloria Jean Robertson stops by this lively interview! TALKING POINTS *Balancing successes & disappointments *Doing extra work *And a summary of the whole actor's audition process!
James joins me again to discuss some of the edgiest, sweat-filled and riveting Music Concert Movies & Retro Documentaries. Which ones are simply must-sees for their innovative filmmaking? And which specials still often air on Showtime and Turner Classic Movies? SONGS USED: "Acoustic Rock" by AudioNautix.

You heard that right. Strap in for an amusing yet to-the-point tribute to the ultimate name you don't want your film to be credited with: Alan Smithee. What are some good movies that just so happen to share this "stage name"? Where does the line begin to blur between simply disagreeing with the studio and totally disowning one's own work? All that and the amusing way in which this practice was ultimately discontinued by the Director's Guild! Special Thanks to Not a Bomb Podcast for sharing some of this key trivia.

We give you the ultimate tribute to three key TV documentary shows that changed the genre for the better: Biography, Behind the Music & E! True Hollywood Story. TALKING POINTS: *We mention precursors to this like You Are There & Against the Odds *We also keep joking about Robert Blake because he represents everything bad in this world *And as usual, you can also expect a SHIT TON of celeb impressions! SONG USED: "Biography" Theme Song Intro
For our Documentary themed week, I get to illustrate the life of real-life Olympian-turned-WWII P.O.W. "Louie" Zamperini as seen in the film UNBROKEN and its religious sequel. Why does this inspire all kinds of hope in a well-worn genre?

Mike, Gil & Cam head into the Wadi Rum desert as they note some less discussed trivia on Lawrence of Arabia and its PBS made sequel. TALKING POINTS: *After detailing the production, both Mike & Gil note what separates this movie from most movie epics of both the past and present. *We highlight the best quotes and metaphors in detail. *We also talk about why Roland Emmerich should stay away from telling any other version of this captivating story. SONG USED: "Main Theme" by Maurice Jarre (from Lawrence of Arabia OST)
Gil, James & Cam get to bring up some amusing trivia, memories & note some hysterical skits from the ultimate '90s prank calling duo THE JERKY BOYS. We also get to educate Mike on it as he never encountered this mayhem!
We present to you two real-life story adapted movies dealing with the educational system in this half-hour sitdown: *Should every student watch this to get inspiration on passing their SATs? *A-aron also does a spot-on impression of Edward James Olmos & Cliff notes some other backstory on the film and some riveting personal experiences while Cam notes some trivia *Which one is streaming and which one can be bought digitally? Get schooled and don't procrastinate as we give you the lowdown on some inspiring yet emotionally rewarding test-taking drama! SONG USED: "Main Title/East L.A." by Craig Safan (Stand and Deliver OST)

Guests on the Episode: *Ken Sledge (Sledgehammer Horror- who's folks used to own a local videostore rental place called Downtown Video) *Nick Sheist (Bad Movies We Luv) *Mondo (I Luv the Films on Insta) *Jim Evans (Film Rage Podcast) *Matthew Skelly SONG USED: "Main Title (from Hellraiser: Inferno)" by Walter Werzowa
We start off a themed week for Adaptations and Tie-In Media with an amusing minisode on Indiana Jones videogames. What would you do if you were an archeologist with deadly fists, a signature hat and a whip? OUR GUESTS: Elliott Serrano & Thomas Juettner (from Top Men: An Indiana Jones Podcast): https://radiomisfits.com/podcasts/caffeinated-comics/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088192821450 Jason Stein (from Dads from the Crypt & How NOT to Make a Movie Podcasts): https://dadsfromthecrypt.com/ Voice-Over Artist & Podcaster Corby Stephens: https://www.corbystephens.com/ Cliff Stevenson (from Predator Minute!) https://x.com/MinutePredator Lucas Dickinson: https://www.facebook.com/TESDAnt Tom, JJ, Mike & Gil (from The Film Junkyard on FB): https://www.facebook.com/groups/192094814680515 Comic Book Creator JM Brandt: https://x.com/mrjmbrandt https://linktr.ee/JMBrandt SONG INTRO USED: "Indiana Jones Theme [Epic Metal]" by MegaRaptor
We are all overdue to share some amusing celebrity impressions so witness the shitshow where Cam, Mike & James all go ballistic with their many celeb and politician impressions. They include: Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Hugh Hefner, Richard Nixon, Liam Neeson, Norm McDonald & Al Pacino! We then (unexpectedly) conclude with an impression of Allan Sherman, George Takei & Cookie Monster starring in Cruising: The Musical. I wish I was making that up!
I get to do a short yet sweet overview on Charles Bronson's Family of Cops telefilm trilogy. What make these comfy mysteries stand out from other TV movies? Does Charlie and the cast of character actors get to play one badass family? And were these a decent swan song for Bronson's career or did it leave much to be desired? MUSIC USED: "Babylon" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
Mike, Tom, Gil & I revisit more of infamous "filmmaker" Tommy Wiseau's various fascinatingly bad movie adventures: *What less-discussed trivia about THE ROOM truly sums up its continual behind the scenes issues? *What famous comedian appears in the ambitious yet still divisive Best F(r)iends movies? *What easter eggs and bizarre style choices have truly immortalized Tommy's legacy for wannabe filmmakers and his fanbase alike? Grab your spoons and witness the insanity with us nutty moviegoers!
Libby Cudmore rejoins for another half-hour pop culture deep dive: We get to note how Music Subgenres need more labels and ways to classify the type of material they cover. If they can use loose labels like Yacht Rock, then why not Douche Rock? Given how much music is tongue-in-cheek or campy, wouldn't you want to make a playlist just based on that tone alone? We mention more criminally ignored music & the funniest episodes of Libby's show The O.S.T. Party Podcast! Follow them here: https://pod.link/ostparty
We schedule another deep cut themed week titled No Holds Barred: Darren Gaskell (HD Movie Podacst) rejoins and helps do a mini-outline of The Transporter movie/TV franchise. Was this essentially the movie version of the whole GTA formula of delivering packages and getting to checkpoints in time while outrunning the police and rival criminal affiliates? What themes from Luc Besson's earlier action-crime movies come into play for this? Is Frank Martin still the best franchise character Jason Statham has portrayed to date? SONG USED: "Fighting Man" by DJ Pone & Drixxxe
We do give you the ultimate tribute to the battles, characters, running gags & favorite characters in the STARGATE SG-1 saga. TALKING POINTS: *Discussing how non-space opera fans adore these shows *Joking about the infamous episodes & awesome Canadian scenery *And amusing convention stories & movies the actors have been in together! GUESTS INCLUDE: Rose Mishaan & Samantha Schwartz (Probing the Wormhole Podcast) Gil Palmer Tim Smith (TSmittyTreks Fan Art on Insta) Matthew Litwin Todd Simpson (Galaxy Quest Superfan FB Group) CLIPS USED: Michael Shanks discussing why the Zatniktel is a stupid weapon at a fan convention The two "L"s running gag on Stargate SG-1
I provide a brief overview on the two-season Netflix escapade ANOTHER LIFE. Why did this often feel like one rad yet intense mash-up of DEAD CALM meets ALIENS meets ARRIVAL? Why did the science, cast, music & atmosphere complement one unpredictable premise? Why was it (wrongfully) bashed by some viewer? Is Katee Sackhoff still the undisputed Queen of the SciFi genre?

Superfan Todd Simpson joins to highlight the legacy of the beloved spoof-tribute film GALAXY QUEST while Cam gets to summarize the two comic book tie-ins that followed. Was that Amazon TV show follow-up history after one of the beloved actors passed away? Why do non-genre fans love quoting this movie as well? What witty aspects on the script make it find an audience every decade? Check out Todd Simpson's Galaxy Quest Superfan Group on FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1213630815322193 MUSIC USED: "Happy Ending/End Credits/Theme Song" by David Newman (from the Galaxy Quest OST)
Oreo Brewer returns to highlight the themes, appeal & genre highlights in the Gene Roddenberry inspired productions ANDROMEDA and EARTH: FINAL CONFLICT. Which one of these dated better and which one is just trashy camp by today's standards? Aside from trivia on the Canadian productions, TV channels that carried them and other roles from the actors, all SciFi fans will get validated in what made these appeal to TV escapism crowds. Plus, stay tuned at the end as Oreo unexpectedly trolls Cam and Cam has to force himself to be the bigger man and not retaliate. ;)
We start another week of Space Opera themed reviews for this week: First on the docket is the three-hour NOBILITY show. Despite it having a who's who of genre actors, does it mockumentary comedy blend well with whatever the hell bizarre tone it's trying to capture? Then, I sum up the infamous SPACE COMMAND web series. Despite again having some passion from the veteran writers and starpower does it also leave mixed results? Fire up the fuel tanks & let's blast off! MUSIC USED: “Deep Space” by AudioNautix.

We end the week on yet another Filmmaker retrospect and documentary specialist Robert Cohen gets to share thoughts on Oliver Stone's overall career. TOPICS INCLUDE: *Who would've guessed he'd be the go-to guy for awhile at assembling moody biopics, business satires and war dramas? *Has he given up moviemaking to now focus on just doing interviews? *Who would've taken his place in conspiracy thrillers had he not gotten there first? *Plus, some audio clips from Stone's 2016 interview with BAFTA Guru.
To continue the Cop Movie weekly theme, I summarize two Karl Urban procedural films: ACTS OF VENGEANCE (2017) and BENT (2018). What did Jay Skipworth (Film Strip Podcast) think about these kinds of mid-budget Action flicks for today's audiences? Why is Karl Urban not a bigger star despite being in so many franchises and proving himself as a star? And which film kicked way more ass? Throw away the badge and come avenge the fallen comrades with us! FOLLOW JAY ON: https://open.spotify.com/show/1hlsJftCLJKUzSOIlKBgfK MUSIC USED: "Clouds" by AudioNautix.

To continue the cop movie themed week, Tom, Gil & I highlight the ROBOCOP trilogy, both TV shows & its remake. We also go more into the overall focus on the characters' journeys and villainous OCP corporation while mentioning the Robodoc documentary. TALKING POINTS INCLUDE: *How do the movies & comic book plots basically mix a Batman type city with Lethal Weapon cops & Skynet type computer bases? *Could the Terminator Vs. Movie had actually been made initially? *Did anyone love the '90s TV show Rock N' Roll soundtrack? *How come no one remembers the original unmade remake (which was arguably very imaginative)? *Are some of the violent comedic bits also homages to Death Race 2000? *How wild how the studios didn't get the marketing jokes in the films themselves. *Why did MGM keep making merchandise meant to appeal to kids despite it not being for them? *Is the new ROGUE CITY videogame the only agreed upon sequel or are there still many Part 2 & Prime Directives defenders? *Some praise for the Arrow Blu-Ray contributing to the original film's party movie night nature *Some Phil Tippett backstory as well according ot the latest Disney Plus ILM documentary show *Discussing the unmade Robocoop Vs. Predator comic book project and Robocop's appearance on WCW *We sum up how so many generations saw it before they were old enough to actually see it *Why does the corporation always rely on local crooks to do their dirty work? *Why were crowds okay with this versus other Verhoeven's typical OTT films? *Can you introduce the cheesy '90s show for teens not ready to watch the movies without cringing yourself? *Can you enjoy the 2014 rehash in a Judge Dredd/Training Day way? *Is a Robocop Anime Anthology more feasible these days? *Cam also shares a cool story he heard about Peter Weller's directing career from his peers.
Jon Mark & I highlight movie composter Harold Faltermeyer 's immortalized '80s movie themes, show clips of his interview and highlight some trivia about his recognizable material.

Oreo Brewer returns again to discuss the plot twists, London setting & cat-and-mouse action that makes the show LUTHER stand out from all the other competition. Is this easily Idris Elba's best role to date? Why was the recent movie a pretty badass comeback? And will we ever see the dangerous Alice Morgan return to the saga? Get your cuffs and prepare for a street fight!
We finish the week with an electrifying tribute to Krzysztof Kieślowski's Three Colours trilogy. Why are Blue and Red often the most popular entries? Why is White a little divisive on rewatches? And why are these honestly some of the most overall agreeable art-house cinema for purists? Follow The Sociologist's Dojo's Brian Brutlag: https://www.amazon.com/the-Sociologists-Dojos-Podcast/dp/B08JJTGTJY
Jeff Kerr returns and we harp on the rage-zombie universe in this double feature of 28 DAYS LATER and 28 WEEKS LATER. Will the world ever eventually settle on Romero type zombie dramas or are we going to keep getting RESIDENT EVIL style apocalyptic material? Is Alex Garland tied with Christopher Nolan and M. Night Shyamalan in terms of the infamous endings? How does the initial sequel actually take a cool ALIENS type approach to one-upping the original and settling for more military action? All that and more illustrating the noteworthy theme song by John Murphy!
The Podcast Fresh Network Duo (Ryan Melo & Chris Torres) join me in a Sitcoms Tribute Double Bill: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air & Living Single. Which sitcom was probably more grounded in its reality and which one took more liberties? Which running gags and guest stars on both were rather hysterical? And where is either one streaming nowadays?
Enjoy another uncanny pick for this Entertainment themed week: Just in time for the newest installment, Cam gets to summarize the ambitious yet rather problematic FEAR STREET trilogy by Netflix. Do these screenwriters have some ambitious ideas that Hollywood could seriously use right about now? Which installment was by far rather decent and which one was the pits level bad? Where does it become way too convoluted to be any fun? And which was the best use of time period appropriate music?

You heard it from us here folks: we're doing an R-rated compilation episode about The Muppets. In this re-edit, you'll get an hour's worth of more to-the-point discussion on: *Pete tells a whacky Disneyland story about the live Muppet shows from 1992 *Are Yoda & the Ninja Turtles part of the Muppet family? *And more blue comedy level questions that Jim Henson left open to interpretation! OUR GUESTS INCLUDE: Nathalie Galde, Pete Quint, Max Wood, Mike Ensing, James Bruno, Jamie Ray & the SciFi Remnant Podcast Trio CLIPS/SONGS FEATURED: *MAD TV Parody *"Who Let the Frog Out?" by The Great Luke Ski *Dave Chappelle: Killin' Them Softly *"Bad Touch" by Bloodhound Gang
We wrap up Shark Week with a double feature of THE MEG films. Are these sone of the few PG-13 films that all crowds can enjoy without feeling like the gory mayhem is censored? Which is our favorite character in this stacked cast? Who knew you could combine dinosaurs with sharks in one crazy big-budget movie? Why did Part 2 get a Zero percent critical rating when it's fairly watchable? Plus, Darren gets to share an awesome Ben Wheatley film festival story!
Darren & I dive into another recent franchise that goes in so many different directions: OPEN WATER. Why was the first one a sleeper found-footage hit for 2003? Why is the 2nd one a surprisingly emotional character-based thriller? And was the 3rd one wise to go the 47 METERS DOWN route or was that annoyingly derivative? Come examine film styles with us and determine if they got any bite left in them!
SHARK ATTACK, another infamous shark movie franchise gets reinspected. Are Casper Van Dien & Ernie Hudson both still in STARSHIP TROOPERS and CONGO mode? Why is the 2nd one so unengaging? And why is the third film's infamous line one of the most memorable bad movie moments of all time? Come surf with us while avoiding the unconvincing shark puppets!

Darren is back and we dive head-first into the DEEP BLUE SEA trilogy while trying to avoid becoming prey to the inevitable bad movie cliches.
