It's time again for our now-annual Turkey Month, and we're kicking off a November's worth of big budget turkeys with Cutthroat Island, the pirate movie that plundered Carolco of their last remaining doubloons, and sent Geena Davis' career as a swashbuckler off the side of a boat.

We interrupt our regular programming for the first of several periodic check-ins with the X-Men's exploits on the silver screen! This "show within a show" begins with 2000's X-MEN - the movie that put comic book adaptations back on the map. Apropos of the concept itself, X-MEN's path to a theatrical debut was long and hard-fought. Plans to translate the series to film can be traced back to the early '80s, with comics creators Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas collaborating on a prospective screenplay for Orion Pictures. After Orion folded, subsequent efforts would invite interest from the likes of Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron for Carolco Pictures. Carolco's bankruptcy saw the rights revert to Marvel, and development stalled for years with the company unable to make the case for their successful comics franchise. However, impressed with the X-Men's unexpected Saturday morning dominance for Fox's children's television division, producer Lauren Shuler Donner thought it only made sense to option the property for 20th Century Fox's live action slate in 1994. The next two years brought drafts and treatments by 'SEVEN' screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker, author Michael Chabon, and filmmaker Ed Solomon. The studio considered Brett Ratner, Robert Rodriguez, and Paul W.S. Anderson, but it was Bryan Singer in whom Fox believed they had found their perfect fit for director. Following Singer's hiring, a finalized script was eventually hammered out, with David Hayter receiving sole screenwriter credit (despite contributions from Solomon, Christopher McQuarrie, and Joss Whedon ending up in the onscreen product). Still, Fox was hedging their bets due to a string of critical and commercial failures by superhero adaptations in recent years, capping X-MEN's budget at $75 million (a paltry sum by today's standards). Despite some shake-ups along the way (Exit Original Wolverine and Cyclops actors Dougray Scott and Jim Caviezel, respectively), what materialized was a lean and efficient picture, brought to life by an incredibly talented - if not entirely star-studded - ensemble cast. X-MEN would overperform to the tune of $300 million worldwide, establishing itself right out of the gate as a blockbuster franchise that would carry Fox to huge box office receipts for years to come. It would likewise serve as a career-defining film series for many of its performers, themselves household names today. With the Marvel Cinematic Universe poised to make a go at recreating the magic, X-Position takes a look back at where it all began! Join Jenny, Tim, and unofficial third co-host Keithie as we break it all down. From the creative choices, the good, the bad, and the ugly one-liners, to the cast that could have been (Glenn Danzig's Wolverine? Bob Hoskins??), and even Magneto's Mutant Cave Rave, no thought shall remain unread (or unsaid).

Neste episódio, navegamos para alto mar em embarcações a meter água, para falarmos de dois filmes de piratas que se afundaram sem qualquer hipótese de salvamento: Piratas, um curioso filme de Roman Polanski distribuído pela mítica Cannon, e A Ilha das Cabeças Cortadas, o infame desastre de Renny Harlin que afundou consigo a produtora Carolco, mas que não impediu o finlandês de continuar a trabalhar atrás das câmaras. Ainda neste episódio, a estreia de uma nova rubrica, em que partilho a minha opinião sobre os filmes que tenho visto recentemente, e uma participação muito especial de Daniel Louro (The World is a Set, VHS) que, se o conseguir convencer, terá continuidade no futuro.

Hollywood je země pohádek a příběhů. A historie produkční firmy Carolco v sobě má od obojího trochu. Legendární magnáti Kassar a Vajna přivedli na svět filmového Ramba, který byl pro ně vstupenkou do první ligy. Málokdo na začátku osmdesátých let tušil, jak moc tihle snílci tu slavnou továrnu na sny vykolejí. Pojďme si o tom povyprávět v prvním ze dvou dílů, které se věnují nezávislým producentům žánrových blockbusterů. Příští zastávka Cannon Group!

Třicet let od tohohle sci-fi kultu, který zdatně žóngluje mezi áčkem a béčkem a drží vysoko zástavu jménem Carolco! Cyb... pardon... zombíci po zuby ozbrojení moderní technikou si tu vyříkávají staré křivdy, občas spadnou do nechtěné komedie, ale hlavně stříkají testosteronem na všechny strany. Od kohokoliv jiného než od Emmericha by to vyznělo nanicovatě a dementně, ale on to ustál a rozjel sérii, která se několikrát vrátila z filmového hřbitova. Pojďme si o tom popovídat při čekání na další Encyklopedii akčního filmu. ;) MovieZone Extended Universe: Web: https://www.moviezone.cz FB: https://www.facebook.com/moviezonecz IG: https://www.instagram.com/moviezonecz CSFD: https://www.csfd.cz/film/688751-moviezone-live-special/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mzlive

Auguest, a month of amazing guest-hosted episodes, begins! I'd have to be pretty stupid to host a podcast about killing and then kill him the way I described in my podcast. I'd be announcing myself as the killer. I'm not stupid. TW: This episode includes a discussion about a scene which depicts forced sex/sexual assault/rape as well as Sharon Stone's recent revelations that she did not consent to her genitals being shown on screen. It's not just global warming, Verbal Diorama is officially getting hotter, and finally tackling the definitive erotic thriller of the '90s - BASIC INSTINCT! A spec script that Mario Kassar of Carolco paid $3 million for, which became the movie everyone was talking about, but mainly for one infamous scene in particular. Joining me for this sexy investigation is a man who can wield an ice pick like no other. A man who likes rough edges, and a podcaster who falls for the wrong guest appearance. It's Gali from The Rewind Movie Podcast.  Will Gali make it out of the episode alive? Will I charge him with smoking? Will he get off before he gets offed? Or will we f**k like minks, raise rugrats, and live happily ever after? Maybe forget the rugrats...

After the underwhelming critical and commercial response to THE ABYSS, James Cameron knew that he had to get moving on his next project as soon as possible. As fate would have it, the executives at Carolco — who'd recently produced films like RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II and TOTAL RECALL — had acquired the rights to the TERMINATOR franchise, at great expense, and asked Cameron to write and direct a sequel. In this episode, we'll trace the production of TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY, from those early, chaotic days of development, through the time of its release, when it became one of the biggest films of all time.

Spider-Man gave us an origin story of great power and great responsibility, in more ways than one, but also a story that ordinary nerds could relate to. From humble origins as a throwaway character in a cancelled comic book title, to Marvel's flagship character, a movie version of Spider-Man has been in the works since the early '80s with differing results. Enjoy my new feature "Corman, Cannon, Carolco and Columbia"! A trip through the web of un-made Spider-Man movies of years past, but how each of them made Sam Raimi's Spider-Man (2002) possible, and with it started breaking financial box office records left, right and centre.

Cutthroat Island war seiterzeit 1995 ein historischer Flop. Zu Recht? Manchmal bietet es sich an diese etwas vergessenen Blockbuster der 90er noch einmal zu besuchen. War der Film eventuell nur seiner Zeit voraus, und bietet für heutige Sehgewohnheiten erzählerische und inszenatorische Ansätze, die widerbelebt werden sollten? Dominik und Sergej haben den Tauchgang gewagt und versuchen in diesem versunkenen Schiff Gold zu finden...

audio alert - Sam was on his webcam for the first 7 minutes so there is a weird audio shift when he switches to a good mic. Nothing painful to your earholes, just figured we owe you an explaination. Proceed! Knocking off Beverly Hills Cop while showcasing Gary Daniels as a cheaper JCVD but forgetting that he can't act past his gob being open, White Tiger can't figure out what it is or what it should be so it just manages to be mid-90s karate mush. Why doesn't the movie work or why did I absolutely wish I'd watched something else? Well I'll tell you who's fault it is. It isn't Cary Tagawa. He's fantastic, of course. And he's allowed to go to 11 so it's not director Richard Martin's fault either. It's not even Gary Daniels fault despite his lack of acting, as the big draw is the fight sequences which he co-choreographed with prolific stunt-man Lauro Chartrand. So whose fault is it that White Tiger is a total boring slog of a film? Well, I'm blaming the 90's. See all the big stinker makers were out of the biz or out of their prime by 1996. Cannon was done and Carolco was on its way. DTV was on the rise as you could crap out a turd on a budget and distribute globally for a song. So the studios just wanted to start turning fast bucks and having passion for your project wasn't a benefit, it was a hinderance. What business did Richard Martin even have directing a film? Well, he said he could do it and do it fast. That's all it took for it to get a green light.  The problem with it and say the same film made 5-10 years prior, is there was a hope that if you did a good enough job, if you worked hard enough, if you believed it what you were doing enough the execs in their ties would see you and give you a Brandon Lee shot. Its the American Dream right? Well sorry, but that doesn't exist. So instead you've got no one giving a crap in the writing ("just redo Beverly Hills Cop, again") and no one behind the camera caring either. It's not that anyone screwed up, it just is that no one had the opportunity to screw up either. Which sorry, makes for boring film for our niche AND the big films that go on to win Oscar gold. You must have some spark of passion and care for art. Otherwise, its just a toaster or a '15 Toyota Camry. Your film is now an appliance.

127 - Just in time (read: 2 weeks late) for Stallone's 75th birthday, we are hitting Cliffhanger. This is an oft-requested lat pack classic that has been on the list for a while - so here it is! It's another lockdown pod. We might be getting a little loopy. Anyway, hope you enjoy.

Why are we re-releasing this episode? Because it's May Madness folks! Each week of May Madness we will re-release an episode we think pairs well with the movie of the week, and conveniently place it at the top of your feed. This week, we figured that the movie that launched Carolco into the lat pack stratosphere (latosphere?), would pair extremely well with another iconic Carolco joint, Total Recall. Enjoy!

This week, Spence and Zach combed the intranette in search of movies that got green lit, many of which nearly went in to production, but ultimately never got made. They cast a wide net, then ultimately hone in a discuss a handful of properties that have meaning to them. Thanks for joining us!

Ahoy matey, and welcome back to another exciting episode of Not A Bomb Podcast. For this week’s show, Troy and Brad are joined by Eric from The VHS Files, to discuss 1995’s swashbuckling adventure film - Cutthroat Island. This pirate movie once held the infamous distinction as being the biggest box office flop of all time and put the final nail in the coffin of Carolco Pictures. Cutthroat Island had a notoriously troubled production. Numerous crew members were fired. The script was continually rewritten, and a broken pipe caused massive amounts of sewage to pour into the water tank inhabited by actors.

We have transitioned over to video on YouTube, and this episode (which features Mel Johnson, Jr. aka "Benny the Traitorous Mutant Cab Driver" and a video game review of the NES tie-in title by The Game Beaters, the latter of which is EXCLUSIVE to the YouTube episode) is a highly visual episode that does not entirely translate as an audio podcast. Going forward, you should subscribe to https://www.youtube.com/project-nerd to see & hear our future content. Our forthcoming episode in March (Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead w/Keith Coogan) will be the final one posted to this feed.

Alors qu'il se s'échappe de sa Corse natale pour louer une bonne vieille VHS dans notre vidéo-club, Dominique (@ittodan sur twitter) dit "le patron" chez Nanarland n'hésite pas une seconde et se fait plaisir en regardant Extrême Préjudice de Walter Hill qui date de 1987 et que nous avions déjà évoqué dans notre podcast sur la Carolco. Avec son casting bien bad ass porté par un Nick Nolte monolithique et son ambiance tendue ce film d'action qui lorgne du côté de chez Peckinpah est un petit classique qui sent autant la poussière, que la testostérone ! Armez les fusils et préparez les binouzes les bourrinos car ça va chauffer. Team VHS

Ojo, que hemos escogido tema un minuto y medio antes de empezar el podcast, pero no pasa nada, porque las dos enciclopedias humanas del cine, Víctor Olid y Paco Fox, ESTÁN IN DA HOUSE. ¿De qué va esto? Pues de CAROLCO, la productora de Mario Kassar y Andrew Vajna que lo petó muy fuerte en los 80 y primeros 90 y se descalabró a finales de los 90.

The course has been set; there is no turning back; prepare your weapons; and summon your courage for the cinematic adventure of a lifetime—Cutthroat Island! The majority of the words above come from the trailer for the epic shipwreck that is Cutthroat Island. Yet they could also serve as a warning. Once you start watching it, there truly is no turning back; and it is a film that lives up to its infamous reputation. Cutthroat Island is a mess from start to finish. From the hammy acting, to the suspect dialogue, to the overabundance of poorly choreographed action and explosions, there is little doubt as to why it once held the Guinness Book of World Records' dubious distinction of being the biggest box office bomb in history. With a production budget of over $98 million, it grossed barely more than $10 million. Adjusted for inflation, it lost upward of $147 million. There was no pirate booty to be found in the Christmas season of 1995. It's loss was so traumatic that it helped bankrupt Carolco, the studio that produced it.  Carolco, though, was not the only casualty. Careers were legitimately affected by Cutthroat Island's critical and financial drubbing. Geena Davis, who starred as pirate captain Morgan Adams, worked sparingly for years after; this was also due in part to an acrimonious divorce from the director of this film, Renny Harlin. Her co-star, Matthew Modine as William Shaw, would see his days as a leading man float off into the sunset, a rudderless ship adrift. Oddly enough, Harlin—who had become a commodity because of his work on Cliffhanger and on franchises like Die Hard (he directed Die Harder), as well as A Nightmare on Elm Street (he was at the helm of the abysmal, but successful The Dream Master)—would continue to get semi-prominent gigs.  Despite evidence such as this to dispel the notion of his early promise, he'd be tapped to direct several other high profile films over the course of multiple decades—Deep Blue Sea, Driven, 12 Rounds, Skiptrace. Hollywood can be weird. That said, Cutthroat Island did expose his myriad of flaws as a filmmaker. If given the freedom and the money to pursue his wildest desires, he couldn't find a happy medium or produce a competent picture. Style over substance works if the style is actually interesting. Here, it wasn't. Not even remotely. In any event, this movie is a sight to behold. You'll laugh; you'll cry; you'll drink until it all makes some semblance of sense. So sit back, enjoy an aged barrel of Blackbeard's Breakfast from Heavy Seas Brewing, and get ready set sail for turbulent seas. I, the Thunderous Wizard (@WriterTLK), Capt. Cash, and Chumpzilla are waging pirate war with Uncle Dawg for a fabled trove of plastic treasure! This Week’s Segments: Introduction – We drop anchor on one of cinema's all-time disasters, examining everything from the best line of the film (is there one?) to the over-the-top brilliance of pod favorite Frank Langella.  (00:00) Mind Boggling Questions and Pre-Mortem One-Liners – Well, we all had questions about what the hell happened with this movie; and after being subjected to its awful banter, Capt. Cash challenges us to identify who uttered some classic movie phrases and to whom they said them. (34:57) The Cutthroat Island Drinking Game and Recommendations – Capt. Cash attempts to kill you all with a booze-filled way to watch this movie, and we offer our picks for the week. Next up: Run, baby, run ... it's Escape from L.A.! (1:04:29) And, as always, hit us up on Twitter or Facebook to check out all the interesting factoids—the bizarre V8 Juice obsession, the video game tie-in, and more—from this week’s episode!

FANS: Colton Dunn (Superstore) leads us into the show and passes the baton to avid filmgoer and blogger Kyle Hickman. We talk 2019 films destined to become cult classics, TV binging and most anticipated movies of 2019's second half. FILMS: Don't expect a sub-zero (or plain zero) score on the Cultfilmometer for The Running Man (1987) because this one delivers on many fronts. In this laughter-filled review, we cover a lot of ground but probably not as much as Jim Brown's Fireball. FINDS: Kevin McDonald (The Kids in the Hall) brags about Putney Swope, CF3 is moderating Sam "Flash Gordon" Jones' panel at O Comic Con, Banana Splits get even scarier than it was before & Doctor Sleep has a trailer!

Tie on a red headband and network like a boss because hosts Cam Smith and Tony G are taking an extensive look at the life and work of one of Arnie's most successful collaborators, Andrew G. Vajna. The co-founder of Carolco and mastermind behind Cinergi, the recently deceased Vajna had a huge impact on Schwarzenegger's career as well as the action movie scene as a whole! So lock yourself in for a guided tour of this producer extraordinaire's impressive filmography and showbiz legacy. DOWNLOAD HERE We're also on iTunes, Google Play & Stitcher Radio!

Es posible que el nombre de Andrew Vajna no te suene mucho, pero si te digo que junto con Mario Kassar fundó la productora Carolco ya te será más familiar. Gracias a él el género de acción ha tenido títulos como "Rambo" o "Desafío total", pero no sólo de acción vive el hombre porque también han sido producciones suyas "Evita" o "Nixon". El monográfico está dedicado a Vajna, recientemente fallecido, y cuenta con la firma invitada de compañeros de otros podcasts como Cinemasmusic, Espartanos del cine o Remake a los 80. Además en la sesión podrás escuchar las últimas novedades en bandas sonoras, las canciones y temas nominados en los Oscars así como otras secciones habituales como las peticiones o el retrotráiler.

Iniciamos nuestra segunda temporada con una guía homenaje de lo que fue la mastodóntica productora Carolco formada por Mario Kassar y Andrew G. Vajna, una forma de producir y rodar cine que nunca volverá. Con resultados variopintos pero con muestras de talento y entretenimiento sin igual como La saga Rambo, Terminator 2, Instinto Básico o Stargate y su canto de cisne La Isla de las Cabezas Cortadas. Sus peculiares fundadores, su marketing abrumador, su poderio para pagar estrellas y comprar guiones y su no reparar en gastos. Repasaremos su filmografia y nos retrotaemos a una epoca de amor por el cine "bigger than life". Cuidadosos de sus compositores musicales nos acompañaran en el recorrido Jerry Goldsmith, David Arnold, o John Debney. Nos atrevemos incluso a recitar a Rambo o escuchar musica psicotrónica de Showgirls. ¡Bienvenidos a Carolco Pictures, amor por el cine!

Amateurs de James « Camérone », réjouissez-vous ! La seconde partie de CAPTURE MAG – LE PODCAST : ÉPISODE 20 est enfin disponible, et on vous jure qu’on ne l’a pas fait exprès, mais on a encore explosé des records de durée ! En effet, il ne fallait pas moins de trois heures pour boucler notre podcast consacré à James Cameron ! Après avoir évoqué les deux premiers TERMINATOR, ALIENS et ABYSS, il était donc temps de parler de TRUE LIES, TITANIC et évidemment AVATAR. Étant donné que chacun de ces films ont changé la face du cinéma à leur manière, nous nous devions donc d’y consacrer un certain temps. Mais en plus de ces classiques, nous avons également tenu à revenir sur des projets comme POINT BREAK, le SPIDER-MAN avorté autrefois développé chez Carolco ou encore T2 3D : BATTLE ACROSS TIME et STRANGE DAYS, même si c’est de façon assez Continue Reading

Justin and Josh are back after another year long hiatus to talk over the very funny early 90s film L.A. Story. This movie is quite the hidden gem, so check it out if you haven't seen it! Sync Point: The black point after the Carolco logo has faded to black, about 38 seconds into the movie.

Carolco decides its destiny by spending too much on a ridiculous film that involves a man causes fire and bullets to steer clear. It's the Stallord's one jillionth appearance on the show and we haven't even gotten to Tango & Cash, Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot or Cliffhanger!

Hola chicos, ¿Cómo estáis? Ayer mismo se lanzó el 2º tráiler de CIVIL WAR, y desde ese momento solo se habla de una cosa: SPIDERMAN. Muchos pensábamos que no veríamos nada del trepamuros hasta el propio estreno de la peli, pero Marvel ha querido dar la sorpresa. Hasta tal punto estábamos seguros de que no veríamos al nuevo lanzaredes encarnado por Tom Holland, que cuando el otro día nos juntamos para grabar este programa, debatimos acerca de como podría ser su aparición en Civil War y en su futura saga arácnida. Pero no sólo nos juntamos a hablar del futuro del personaje, sino todo lo contrario. El programa de hoy se lo hemos dedicado principalmente, a esos proyectos del superhéroe que casi vieron la luz bajo el manto de dos de las productoras más conocidas en los años 80 y 90: CANNON y CAROLCO. Hoy dejamos salir nuestro lado más nostálgico, y divagamos y hablamos acerca de esas posibles pelis que pudieron ser y no fueron. ¿Os apuntáis?

THIS WEEK, we’re doing things a little differently.Unfortunately, this week’s episode is NOT the kind that you can listen to in the car on the way to work.For some end-of-2014 fun, we’re going to watch (not discuss, WATCH) one of our favorite movies.  Get your iPod, laptop, dvd, netflix, whatever, and bring up TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY.  It’s movie commentary time.  A full explanation of how/why we came to this decision for this week's episode can be found at the end of this week's PREGAME.Ready to play?What you’ll want to do is sync up our episode with your movie.  To do this: Start your copy of TERMINATOR 2 (as of this release, it is available on Netflix).  You’ll see the TriStar logo, and then the Carolco logo.   After the Carolco logo, you will see a black screen. As soon as the name MARIO KASSAR appears, PAUSE your movie.  Start MASS MOVIECIDE #202 (if you’re ready for the movie, skip to about the 4min30second mark)When Brendan does the countdown and says “Play”, un-pause your movie, and enjoy listening to three knuckleheads talk throughout the entire film.  It’s the modern movie-theater experience right in the comfort of your own home.TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY is directed by James Cameron and stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Eddie Furlong, and Robert Patrick.  Oh, and it ROCKS.

Nuestra aerolínea ha contado con jefes derrochadores, de aquellos que a los 0,7 milisegundos de abrir una empresa al nombre de su mujer ya se habían comprado un Porsche Cayenne para fardar por las calles de su municipio. Pero siguiendo con nuestro clásico Hitler era peor, nos alivia saber que otros empresarios fueron peores antes que nuestros jefes. Carolco Pictures, la todopoderosa productora fundada por Andy Vajna y Mario Kassar nos dio horas y horas de carísimo entretenimiento cinematográfico durante los ochenta y parte de los noventa hasta que murió sepultada bajo sus astronómicas deudas. Para que la historia no se vuelva a repetir, les contamos sus andanzas en este podcast de 130 minuten. El Sr VCR trae testimonios, anécdotas y proyectos fallidos, Vicente Vegas los duros y fríos datos económicos y Wally Week la animación y la ametralladora de chascarrillos en modo full-auto. Descubran que relación tiene Kassar con las pistolas Nerf, que parte del conglomerado Carolco se llevó Schwarzenegger en la maleta y a que actor catalán nos recuerda Paul Verhoeven. Todo con nuestro rigor calumnioso habitual.

"Hang on!" After a few comedy flops Sylvester Stallone's A-list status was hanging on his next project. Luckily Cliffhanger proved to be a fantastic return to form. In this commentary we discuss this Renny Harlin directed movie, from 1993, written by John Long, Michael France, and Stallone himself. Co-starring John Lithgow, Michael Rooker, Janine Turner, and Rex Linn, and with stellar visual effects from Boss Film Studios.
