The Jacked Up Review Show Podcast

Cam straps in for tactical action, Jade Seaberry (Diverse Toons Podcast) leave a badass voicemail & two CBS epics get all the love in the world.   How visceral did SEAL Team truly get?   What fun twist on the cop genre did SWAT offer?   How edgier did the former get on Paramount + streaming?   What is that SWAT spin-off looking like (and guess what other edgy shows it shared a universe with)?   Suit up, cowboy up & get ready to binge with us as the cliche crimefighting becomes cool again!     SONGS USED: "Vadavora," "Tenebrous Brothers Carnival - Snake Lady," "Interloper" and "Harmful or Fatal" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/  

SyFy Channel's crowning achievement in goofy movie knock-offs gets a brief summary: BOA VS. PYTHON!   Aside from some interesting star power, no nonsense pacing & making its low-budget work for its already sarcastic nature, where does this crossover franchise even rank among other B-movie franchises?   Inbetween the sequels summary, you'll also get to hear some other quips and clips from the 2004 TV ratings smash hit!  

We love doing a special where we talk about the biggest villains in a movie/TV franchise and STARGATE SG-1 was next on the docket:   How often does Ba'al (and his many clones) often die-onscreen?   Was Apophis or Maybourne the bigger villain every viewer loved to despise?   Were the Wraith truly scary?   And which villain had some deliberately amusing lines that made us look forward to the heroes facing off with them (in space no less)?   Open up the Iris for sheer geekdom!       Guests Include: Samantha Schwartz and Rose Mishaan (Probing the Wormhole Podcast), Tim Smith, Gil Palmer, Matthew Litwin & Todd Simpson (Galaxy Quest Superfan Group)

An overview on the infamous BIRDEMIC movies commences for another spectacles themed week:   Why does this "filmmaker" actually consider himself competent and other infamous guys like Tommy Wiseau to be amateurs?   Where does schlock like this rank when it's only enjoyable for the wrong reasons?   And how many other comedians have amusing stories about seeing this dumpster fire of a film series?     SONGS USED: "THIS IS BIRDEMIC (Birdemic Theme Song)" by Chamber of Pudd   "Hanging Out With My Family" by Damien Carter

We end the week with an amusing blooper where Paul Derby and my usual cohorts all kept talking and, alas, we gave a brief summary of everything you possibly need to know about one of cinema's late greats: Peter Bogdonavich.   In under 20 minutes, we also discuss his Orson Welles friendship and movie collaborations)   We also discuss some other funny discoveries & happenings before getting onto the subject.      

In another minisode, author Johnny Potoky (Attack of the B-Movies Podcast) sums up the 8 perfect MMA fighting movies starring genre favorite Don "The Dragon" Wilson.   We then go into details on how this guy got started in this crazy industry, the bizarrely yet differently awesome plots of each installment & the whacky names Wilson goes by in each installment!     CLIPS USED: 2023 Interview with Don Wilson on Life is a Gamble Podcast

Here we go with a SyFy Channel production that nonetheless is helmed by one Roger Corman's partners-in-crime with much of the same type of Creature Feature send-up:   The KOMODO VS. COBRA films are summarized in this minisode. Don't miss the shenanigans!     SONGS USED: "Pump" and "Tenebrous Brothers Carnival - Snake Lady" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Continuing with the Roger Corman themed week, I review the HUNT FOR EAGLE ONE men on a mission films. These explosive outings star Mark Dacascos (John Wick 3, Crying Freeman), Theresa Randle (Bad Boys films, King of New York) and Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner, The Hitcher).   I also get to briefly summarize Roger's Filipino war movie productions and how some of these B-movie filmmakers end up having successful TV careers after getting their feet wet with these schlocky fun productions!     SONGS USED: "Harmful or Fatal," "Rocket" and "Urban Gauntlet" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

We share with you a raw & in-the-moment sitdown on Prolific B-Movie Producer Roger Corman.   We sat on this as we wanted to give everyone time to process the beloved filmmaker's loss while also framing it mainly on why he resonates with so many of us many film nerds.   After starting off with a 1982 David Letterman interview clip, we dive deeper into some of the future A-list talent mentored by Corman, talk less-discussed trivia & address the crappy comments made by (the otherwise talented) screenwriter Paul Schrader over Corman's passing.   Love him, hate him, admire the passion, Roger's influence is here to stay for centuries regardless!    

Johnny Potoky & Oreo Brewer join me in this retrospect/tribute on the divisive yet influential music group LINKIN PARK   Talking Points Include: *How this band and Nine Inch Nails both become healing music *We critique the sexist trolls & people who were never going to accept any new Linkin Park material as being the main problem *How people love to hate ANYTHING they do even though they're not fans & how the group got a better ethical character compared to other garbage rock bands *The dark realities of Chester Bennington and question why it takes famous people to bring this up in our own personal conversations *How these music artists influence our personal author & music video creating experiences *We also talk about who was the ACTUAL owner of the band *How shitty Chester's song was (when he has no business being on social media in the first place) *And the debate on music artists finding a new music style Vs. losing their true sense of comradery.     SONGS/CLIPS USED: Zane Lowe 2023 Interview (Meteora Album 20th Anniversary) "Cure for the Itch" and "Blackbirds" by Linkin Park    

Oreo Brewer returns to sum up everything we love about the adventure fantasy film franchise PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN.   What were the videogames, merchandise & the Theme Park Ride like?   Were there any other decent pirate films that came out between this and NATE AND HAYES?   Who's our favorite supporting character?   All that (and zero discussion of any problematic actors associated with this saga)!     SONGS USED: "Humanity Sector (No Choir)" by Pfeifer Broz. Music (used in POTC: At World's End Trailer)   "You Don't Know Jack" by The Great Luke Ski.

Prepare for a fun revisit as we list our favorite moments on the hit TNT TV series franchise: THE CLOSER and its follow-up MAJOR CRIMES.   Guest Lila Morrill, who's a civilian working for the police dept., gets to rate the accuracy as well.   How many brutal bomb defusings, intense shoot-outs, blunt interrogations & welcome office humor make this a cut above most procedurals?   How many STAR TREK & BREAKING BAD actors were on this HOMICIDE/BONES type show?   All that and why both actors Raymond Cruz & J.K. Simmons are national treasures!    

Prepare for a brief overview on another monster movie franchise:   Does MONSTERS rank as Gareth Edwards' best creative endeavor thus far or is it more of a reminder for what his later big-budget blockbusters will be like?   Does the starpower in these low-budget outings really enhance the visuals and premise or do they leave much to be desired?   Find out in this positive yet critical reflection as we remind you on how so many A-listers start small when first getting into this chaotic movie business!     SONGS USED: "Bet You Can (Version 2)" and "Vadovara" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

The original POSEIDON ADVENTURE, its sequel and two other versions all get reviewed for this excitement themed week.   What are disaster films that you adore (flaws and all)? Sound off in the comments below if you dare!       SONGS USED: "The Poseidon Adventure Main Theme" by John WIlliams.    "Urban Gauntlet" and "Summon the Rawk" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/  

Prepare for another deep dives into more cult movie findings:   Multigenre filmmaker Roger Christian will always be celebrate for his contributions to the Star Wars and Alien franchise as well as mocked for his Battlefield Earth infamy. But in this sit-down, I get to illustrate three special B-movies of his that revisit the terrain he did best as well as throwbacks to other terror/adventure genre cinema.   Enjoy my friends!       MUSIC USED:  "Ghostpocalyse," "Delay Rock," "Curse of the Scarab," "Broken Reality," "Vadavora" and "Final Battle of the Dark Wizards" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) All songs are licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Tag along with us as we take a special trip straight into Hell: Crystal Hairston helps me navigate the innumerable limited releases and VOD film entries by both Nicolas Cage and John Travolta.   After this, you'll realize that fan loyalty to actors just needs to stop!

The morbid curiosity continues this week with a brief reflection on a sleeper hit mini-series: BEHIND HER EYES.   What's a show that you saw on Netflix that no one talks about (but they really honestly should?).   A huge thanks to Jenelle (AKA Ponytail of Justice) on Twitter for recommending this criminally underrated psychological endeavor. If you want something akin to DEAD CALM or GONE GIRL, you've come to the right place!     SONG USED:  "Harmful or Fatal" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Four of our true MVPs on the show reflect on why the late David Lynch touched so many souls in his hard-to-describe filmography.   Why do so many other people go wrong by creating an ambigious fantasy world and why did he maintain people's trust in his visions?   So much to unpack here but no shortage of praise in this sit-down!

Dave Payne's supernatural slasher franchise includes elements of everything from creature features to heist and road trip films but is it successful at any of those things?   In this double feature minisode, we get into why these bizarre low-budget films kept being discovered on the movie channels!     SONGS USED: "Interloper," "Oppressive Gloom" and "Vadadora" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/         MAIN LINKS:  LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/JURSPodcast Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/JackedUpReviewShow/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2452329545040913 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackedUpReview  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacked_up_podcast/        SHOW LINKS: YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCIyMawFPgvOpOUhKcQo4eQQ   iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-jacked-up-review-show-59422651/   Podbean: https://jackedupreviewshow.podbean.com   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Eg8w0DNympD6SQXSj1X3M   Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast/id1494236218   RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/the-jacked-up-review-show-We4VjE   Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1494236218/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast   PocketCasts: https://pca.st/0ncd5qp4   CastBox:  https://castbox.fm/channel/The-Jacked-Up-Review-Show-Podcast-id2591222   Discord:  https://discord.com/channels/796154005914779678/796154006358851586         #MovieReview #FilmTwitter #PodFamily #PodcastersOfInstagram #Movies #Film #Cinema #Music #Reviews #Retrospect #Podcasts #MutantFam #MutantFamily #actionmystery #bmovies #scifihorror #truecrime #historydramas #warmovies #podcastcollabs #hottakes #edgy #cultmovies #nsfw #HorrorFam #badass 

After a brief review of the edgy AMC Network show DARK WINDS, Cam gets to interview co-star of last season: Alonso Rappa!   Alonso was a delight to have sum up the acting industry, his other upcoming gigs and keeping this creative process positive.   How did Season 2 of this Tony Hillerman adaptation really raise the bar?   What did Season 3 do that was really divisive with both the plotting and the way they adapted the characters?   Will Season 4 soar to new heights or is this show going in a controversial direction?   Take a trip back to the '70s with this cast of characters and see!             SONGS USED: "Urban Gauntlet" and "Vadadora" by Kevin MacLeod.

It's time for Tom & I to jokingly review the low-brow yet popular Action shows: the half-Cherokee WALKER, TX. RANGER and rather similar RENEGADE!   Guess which one of these shows is loosely connected to the ST. ELSEWHERE universe?   Would either of these shows had been WAY better with JCVD or Schwarzenegger in the lead role?   Cam also has Drinking Game Instructions for all viewers: *Take a drink each time you hear the hero's name *Have a cookie or sweet for each fight scene *And if you're going to watch this all day, just down an entire block of cheese!   SONG USED: "Walker Texas Ranger Theme Song" by Chuck Norris

I do a brief overview on the initial PBS series of TV movies that adapted Tony Hillerman's Navajo mystery books.    Produced by the late great Robert Redford, they starred Wes Studi (Last of the Mohicans, Heat) as Lt. Joe Leaphorn and Adam Beach (Windtalkers, Law & Order: SVU) as Officer Chee.   Solid production values aside, how did these films change the way PBS ran its original productions?   Do these adaptations make both the book and movie crowds happy?   See how this community jives that Tuesday!         SONGS USED: "Vadavora", "The Gauntlet" and "Delay Rock" by Kevin MacLeod.

We host a Indigenous Peoples' Day Week to honor the tradition and showcase how culture has been captured on film in the past:   First on the docket, I host a minisode on the various LAST OF THE MOHICANS adaptations.   Why does Michael Mann's epic translation only get better with age?   Why was the book previously thought unadaptable?   Which previous adaptation was considered lesser in the industry?   And more fun insights on the saga of Magua and Hawkeye!     SONGS USED: "Theme Song (Elk Hunt)" and "Promontary" by by Trevor Jones & Randy Edelman   "The Whip Theme (Extended Version)" by Kevin MacLeod.  Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

It was time to invite the hilarious yet layered conversation starting duo on SCREAMS FROM THE BASEMENT for another chat.   This time, we decided to discuss a double feature of the SCOOBY-DOO ON ZOMBIE ISLAND films.   What's your favorite Hanna-Barbera character? We're down to hear from you all!

We're all still mourning the late great talent Tony Todd and since we've done various themed discussions on actors careers, it was time to dive into many of the various Zombie apocalypse action flicks he got to be a part of.   Which movies can one recommend besides only the NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD remake?   Which entry in his career is truly underrated?   And which one should be avoided by purtists of his work?   Enjoy, get spooky & and perhaps say his name five times in honor of him!           MOVIES DISCUSSED: Night of the Living Dead (1990) Voodoo Dawn Shadow: Dead Riot Night of the Living Dead: Darkest Dawn Army of the Damned (2013) Zombies (2016) SKy Sharks     INTRO CLIP: Flicks and the City interview from May 21, 2014      

Crystal Hairston & Cam dive into the popular yet controversial WALKING DEAD franchise. Crystal really digs the saga despite acknowledging its flaws while Cam just gives the low-down on which poorly-written characters he wanted to have be zombie fodder.   Is it more divisive than LOST and GAME OF THRONES combined?   Were some of the spin-offs better or actually added to the lesser moments of the franchise?   Is it somewhat entertaining or does it serve to just make one angrily yell at the screen non-stop?   Find out in this calm yet blunt chat!    

To start off the Zombie Themed Week for the podcast, I have the co-host of Cinema Shitshow dive into the RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD film trilogy.   If you choose to accept the loose connection to George Romero's famous cinematic universe, where do you end up ranking them then?   What comedic bit still works well with Part 1 and which character in Part 2 just ends up being an unneeded annoyance?   Why is Part 3 still an undisputed genre classic?   All that and more end-of-the-world survival tips!   Follow Nix and Cinema Shitshow here: https://x.com/CinemaShitshow  

Our Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul group chat discussion concludes with a focus on who was the truly big bad of all time on that TV saga.   Is Gus the only actual criminal with a code of honor?   Is Saul Goodman better at vanishing than D.B. Cooper?   Who doesn't want to kill Todd the minute you see him?   Does Laura Fraser's Lydia character steal every season that she's on?   How well do they characterize the various henchmen?   All that and why you should unfriend anyone who finds Walter White relatable!         OUR GUESTS INCLUDE: Kevin “The Critic” Thomas Josh Hansen (Action Movie Book Club) Adam Silva Josh Mattson (Twist My Arm)        SONG USED: "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon               MAIN LINKS:  LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/JURSPodcast Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/JackedUpReviewShow/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2452329545040913 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackedUpReview  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacked_up_podcast/        SHOW LINKS: YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCIyMawFPgvOpOUhKcQo4eQQ   iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-jacked-up-review-show-59422651/   Podbean: https://jackedupreviewshow.podbean.com   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Eg8w0DNympD6SQXSj1X3M   Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast/id1494236218   RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/the-jacked-up-review-show-We4VjE   Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1494236218/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast   PocketCasts: https://pca.st/0ncd5qp4   CastBox:  https://castbox.fm/channel/The-Jacked-Up-Review-Show-Podcast-id2591222   Discord:  https://discord.com/channels/796154005914779678/796154006358851586         #MovieReview #FilmTwitter #PodFamily #PodcastersOfInstagram #Movies #Film #Cinema #Music #Reviews #Retrospect #Podcasts #MutantFam #MutantFamily #actionmystery #bmovies #scifihorror #truecrime #historydramas #warmovies #podcastcollabs #hottakes #edgy #cultmovies #nsfw #HorrorFam #badass 

Prepare for a double feature review of the ELECTION Hong Kong gangster films:   How well does the first one handle its docudrama look while mixing in some dark humor?   Why does the sequel undo most of the positives about the original film?   Enjoy the chaotic summary in this minisode!           SONG USED: "Take the Lead" by Kevin MacLeod.

A quick dissect of Steven Soderbergh and Stephen Gagham's 2000 award-winning movie and the TV show mini-series spin-off occurs.   Which actor in each installment stole the show the most?   Was the movie just simply good but not Best Picture worthy?   What themes does one take away the most from all of the different connected subplots?   Skip town, avoid the dealers & stay out of the narc's way after this episode!  

Directors Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Prisoners) and Stefano Sollima (Suburra, A.C.A.B.) adapt another gritty vision by Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, Tulsa King).   How did they take a continually depressing real-life themes and elevate them into a badass blockbuster fueled with social commentary & memorable villains?   Which character flipping from anti-hero into villain (and vice-versa) was unexpected in the sequel?   What trivia from the Blu-Rays was rather fascinating?   And more gritty adrenaline fueled war espionage to divulge!    

We continue our Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul discussion by listing the best moments which sum up the plot arcs, ironies and downhill destruction of the various villain protagonists (who think of course they're misunderstood but aren't actually). Some of my guests even give their take on the Iowa and Omaha drug trade that mirrors some of the events in this show.   How many amusing pop culture and scifi references do they sneak onto that show?   How many moments have become internet memes? Join us for the zany shenanigans won't you?     OUR GUESTS INCLUDE: Kevin “The Critic” Thomas Josh Hansen (Action Movie Book Club) Adam Silva Josh Mattson (Twist My Arm) Gaz from The Insanely Dangerous Retro Podshow          SONG USED: "Yoke the Joker" by Naughty by Nature                 MAIN LINKS:  LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/JURSPodcast Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/JackedUpReviewShow/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2452329545040913 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackedUpReview  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacked_up_podcast/        SHOW LINKS: YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCIyMawFPgvOpOUhKcQo4eQQ   iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-jacked-up-review-show-59422651/   Podbean: https://jackedupreviewshow.podbean.com   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Eg8w0DNympD6SQXSj1X3M   Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast/id1494236218   RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/the-jacked-up-review-show-We4VjE   Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1494236218/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast   PocketCasts: https://pca.st/0ncd5qp4   CastBox:  https://castbox.fm/channel/The-Jacked-Up-Review-Show-Podcast-id2591222   Discord:  https://discord.com/channels/796154005914779678/796154006358851586         #MovieReview #FilmTwitter #PodFamily #PodcastersOfInstagram #Movies #Film #Cinema #Music #Reviews #Retrospect #Podcasts #MutantFam #MutantFamily #actionmystery #bmovies #scifihorror #truecrime #historydramas #warmovies #podcastcollabs #hottakes #edgy #cultmovies #nsfw #HorrorFam #badass 

I present to you all a rather sarcastic yet very sly way of looking at the sometimes successful yet infamous entertainment giant that is Sony Pictures!    

The various infamous, glamorizing and Hollywoodized Christopher Columbus films get a brief overview.   It's mainly an excuse for us to talk about about renaming the holiday so we can stop honoring this tyrant and actually celebrate the Indigenous traditions themselves.   Plus, you get to hear some brief yet very snappy satire clips about Columbus' racism from both Amber Ruffin and The Apartment on YouTube's Asif Ali and Ali Baluch so enjoy that history lesson as well!       MUSIC USED: "Delay Rock," "Urban Gauntlet" and "Vadadora" by Kevin MacLeod.

It was an overdue yet hysterical summary on the many crossover versus matches featuring the iconic characters of the DC Comics and Marvel Comics.   How many of these were decided by fans voting versus creators making compromises?   Which were the biggest facepalm worthy crossovers?   And why is no amount of ass-kicking just good enough for some fanboys?     OUR GUESTS: Oreo Brewer (All Poetry) Clifford Stevenson, A-aron Landerville & Shane Kelley (from Predator Minute) Daniel Ryan (The Nightmare Nerd on YouTube)     SONG INTROS: "Superman" by R.E.M. "Spider-Man" by Veruca Salt  

Tom & I summarize the running gags, the audience reception & overall contribution to the family friendly comedy genre that Paul Reuben's iconic TV show legacy brought.     CLIP INTRO: 2004 Access Hollywood Video Interview

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?     MUSIC USED: "Inspired" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

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?     SONGS USED: "Delay Rock" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/   "Exhilarate" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

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?       MUSIC USED: "Exhilarate" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/   "Delay Rock" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

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?         GUESTS: Follow Filmmaker Jack Bennett (Never Surrender Documentary): ⁠https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3429301/⁠   Follow Ryan McGann (Off Topic Podcast): ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/front-facelock-podcast/id1544149718⁠   Follow Parker (Dissect That Film Podcast): ⁠https://www.youtube.com/dissectthatfilm⁠   Follow Jim Morazzini (Voices from the Balcony Blog): ⁠https://www.voicesfromthebalcony.com/about/⁠   Follow Gabriel Jewett: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/gabriel_cage_jewett/⁠   Follow Lucas Dickinson: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/TESDAnt⁠   Follow Author Bill Hatfield: ⁠https://linktr.ee/billhatfield⁠         MAIN LINKS:  LinkTree: ⁠https://linktr.ee/JURSPodcast⁠ Facebook Page: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/JackedUpReviewShow/⁠ Facebook Group: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/2452329545040913⁠ Twitter:⁠ https://twitter.com/JackedUpReview ⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/jacked_up_podcast/ ⁠      

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!     MUSIC USED: "Club Diver" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/  

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!
