The summer of 1987 was an amazing time to be a movie fan. Every Friday there was something fun to watch. And we even got amazing misfires like Masters of the Universe, Who's That Girl, and Jaws: The Revenge, which my old friend and massive movie nerd George Hickman (@popmortem) happens to like, thank you very much.

The great Ryan O'Neal passed away earlier this month, and my guest chose of one of the actor's early-'80s obscurities for the Overhated treatment. Screenwriter (and massive movie nerd) Larry Karaszewski (Ed Wood, Man on the Moon, Dolemite Is My Name) joins me to discuss Andrew Bergman's So Fine, which is a sex comedy, a broad farce, and three flavors of satire at once.

I finally got my old pal Joe "Mayhem" Lynch to sit down for an episode, and of course he chose an underloved 1993 genre classic: Abel Ferrara's Body Snatchers. It may not be as well-regarded as its older siblings (1956 & 1978, to be specific) but Joe and I found a whole lot to love in this adaptation all the same. And be sure to check out Joe's latest top-notch genre concoction: Suitable Flesh!  Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more episodes at patreon.com/scottEweinberg.

The late '70s and early '80s were littered with all sorts of truly weird musicals, some of which have stood the test of time (like Grease), and many of which exist as relics of a truly bizarre era... like The Apple. Join me and filmmaker / podcaster / cinema junkie Julia Marchese as we discuss The Apple, a wide variety of these weird musicals, and the beauty of Stephen King adaptations. This last part comes up because Julia recently directed a short film based on King's short story, "I Know What You Need," which is super cool. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

#556 MONSTER MUSIC MONDAY    - The episode focuses on reviewing and providing feedback on music submissions from listeners.    - Submissions are accepted via the Mike Herrera Podcast Facebook group, where artists can share their YouTube links.    - Critiques various aspects of the submitted songs, including production quality, vocal performance, and song structure.    - Offers constructive criticism and praise, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement in each submission.   Some Advice and Tactics: Avoid Excessive Auto-Tune    - Use auto-tune sparingly and only as an effect. Overuse can detract from the authenticity of the vocal performance, especially in genres like punk rock. Simplify Intros    - Keep the intro of your song short and engaging.

How did a movie with this much talent on both sides of the camera end up losing almost $50 million for its production company? I'm not entirely sure, but there are several good theories. Join me and frequent guest Andrew Carden as he breaks down why he has a lot of affection for this underloved Frank Darabont / Jim Carrey collaboration. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

Audiences seemed mostly disinterested; critics were right on the fence; and the box office was generally unimpressive, all things considered. But who cares about all that stuff? How does Brad Bird's family-friendly sci-fi epic hold up after a particularly long eight years?

For decades there was a "pirate movie curse" that doomed every movie that dared to dip its toe into that particular pool. (That curse was ultimately broken by Captain Jack Sparrow, of course.) And the poster child for that pirate movie curse has got to be Renny Harlin's 1995 financial disaster Cutthroat Island. But fortunately we have frequent guest Fred Topel on hand to offer a firm defense of a movie that lost about $100,000,000 and helped destroy an entire production company.

Once credited as the most expensive movie ever made, Rambo III is now mainly remembered for some uncomfortable political history, but does it hold up as just an enjoyably straightforward action flick? Well, author / humorist / "Effin' Birds" creator Aaron Reynolds is here to plead the film's case.   Note: there are some mild audio glitches in the second half of the episode.

You could probably write a book on the insane headaches that took place on the Exorcist franchise between 2003 and 2005, or you could just listen to this episode of Overhated! Big thanks to reliable ol' Brian Salisbury, of Junkfood Cinema, for picking a film that's not only seasonal (it's October) and topical (Exorcist Part 6 just hit theaters), but also actually deserves a second look.   Thanks for listening to Overhated!

Few movies of the 1990s have been discussed, debated, and rediscovered as much as Alien 3 has. So now it's time for Overhated to take a swing! We cover everything from that infuriating prologue to the rotten way David Fincher was treated by Fox executives, and by "we" I mean me and the co-hosts of a very fun podcast called Puppet Masters / Castle Freaks: Jarrod Hornbeck & Steve Guntli!

The hook is great: Dr. Watson is the actual brains behind all the mystery-solving, whereas Holmes is actually a drunken idiot hired to keep the media distracted.

Very few filmmakers have been able to deliver a "quality streak" of movies like John Carpenter did throughout the 1970s and '80s. Some of the movies made money, some did not; but all of them seem to hold a special place in the hearts of countless movie nerds. (Check the episode for evidence of this epic streak.) But then John Carpenter signed on to make a movie with Chevy Chase, and this movie was the result. Big thanks to regular guest and awards guru Andrew Carden for picking this one.

When you're not only adapting but also modernizing the great Charles Dickens (and in only your second feature!) you're bound to go through some headaches.

The "aging star slasher flick" had a brief run in the early '80s,, while producers were still figuring out what a slasher movie actually was. Here is one such example: a very basic stalker tale with a surprisingly impressive ensemble cast.

I'm sure we'll cover the Space Jam sorta-sequel in a future episode of Overhated, but it won't be anytime soon. Instead it's me and Junkfood Cinema's Brian Salisbury continuing our Looney Tunes talk by focusing on Joe Dante's old-school insane Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

The wonderful, hilarious Gene Wilder will always be remembered for his work in Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Stir Crazy, and Willy Wonka -- among others, of course -- but the lovable clown also had his fair share of creative misfires. His final effort as director is, depending on who you ask, one such misfire. But it's still a rather difficult movie to dislike, especially if you love (very) old horror movies.

It seemed like a pretty safe bet for the summer of 2010: an energetic action comedy (with romance!) from two of the planet's biggest, prettiest movie stars. But then it hit theaters, everyone from film critics to moviegoers said "meh, what else you got?" And despite a few good notices and some solid overseas business, it vanished pretty quickly. But is it overhated? Frequent guest / film critic Courtney Howard says, "well, yes. It is."  Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more episodes at patreon.com/scottEweinberg.

We had to cover this one eventually, and so I broke out a heavy hitter of a guest. That's right: Junkfood Cinema's Brian Salisbury is once again on hand to help deliver a very fun episode. Waterworld will always be remembered as one of the '90s most trashed, pilloried, and derided movies -- but that was then. Let's talk about now. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

I can already hear the cries of GenX-based incredulity. But yes, there are people who don't like The Goonies. I've read the articles. Plus I wonder if it speaks to younger generations at all, despite the good stuff.

Although best known for being a wildly popular author, the late Michael Crichton had a rather intriguing career as a screenwriter and movie director. Riding high after successes like Coma and The Great Train Robbery, Crichton set his sights on a satirical noir-ish chase thriller known as Looker. And every member of Generation X saw it at least once on HBO.

If you were a young movie nerd in the 1980s you had to have an opinion on these crazy new Troma movies. And if you wanted to know what a Troma movie was all about, you just had to start with the certifiably insane horror/superhero satire known as The Toxic Avenger.

Good ol' reliable Ben Rock (@neptunesalad) is back, and this time he's bringing along one of the weirdest, wackiest, and ickiest studio-released horror movies, maybe ever. No, not maybe!

After seeing what Guy Ritchie did with Sherlock Holmes (twice!) it should come as no surprise to learn that his rendition of King Arthur is a hyper-kinetic, irreverent, and frequently insane movie. And boy did a lot of people dislike that combination. But I'm joined by the legendary Vern (yes, @outlawvern himself) to discuss why and how this flick might be, you guessed it, overhated.

Now this was a fun movie to revisit, reassess, and discuss with my old pal Erik Childress aka @erikthemovieman on twitter. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

I know more about ancient Roman dating customs than I do about professional wrestling, so it's a good thing I have not one but two guests who seem to know their stuff, especially when it comes to this widely derided novelty comedy. Big thanks to patron and pal Paul Andolina (@scoochslam) for suggesting and discussing this one, and also to regular visitor Brian Salisbury of Junkfood Cinema, who offers a few random thoughts as well.

Ask a Bond fanatic to name the worst of all the movies and you're bound to get at least ten answers. OK maybe six. But for most of young life, Golden Gun was generally considered to be among the biggest snoozers in the whole franchise. So I talked to Junkfood Cinema's Brian Salisbury about it. He loves these flicks. Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more episodes at patreon.com/scottEweinberg. Subscribe to hear them all now!

I've spent a good deal of my time on this planet defending three very specific movies: Popeye, Flash Gordon, and 1941. I'm pleased to have Erik Childress (@erikthemovieman) join me for this super-sized episode of Overhated, because I still love this bizarre Spielberg comedy more than I probably should.

I could easily devote an entire month of Overhated to the movies of Mr. Roland Emmerich, and I'd be smart to re-invite my guest, film critic Rachel West (@rachel_is_here), because she seems to get the appeal of these crazy disaster movies -- even when they're supremely goofy.

Found footage plus space horror sounds like a perfect equation for someone like me, but I remember walking away from this flick feeling disappointed, confused, and slightly annoyed. But you know who absolutely adores this movie? Prolific author, horror expert, and movie nut Daniel Kraus (@DanielDKraus), that's who(m)! Daniel's next novel is about a man who has to escape from inside a whale, and I cannot wait to read that. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

The fourth sequel in the initial Planet of the Apes cycle seems to be a fairly divisive chapter among Ape nuts, and it's pretty easy to see why. Fortunately, I have returning guest Richard Jensen (@theragingcelt) on hand, who can explain what he likes about Apes Part 5, and why.  And yes I'll get to the other Apes sequels eventually.

The box office returns weren't awful, and critics were mostly on the fence about the movie, but how does Ivan Reitman's My Super Ex-Girlfriend hold up today? I have a some personal bias when it comes to this movie, but my guest and loyal patron Shawn Cain (@sdcain) is a big fan. Thanks for listening to Overhated!
