Welcome everybody as the Fried RIce Podcast's Appreciation week continues as we focus on our oldest and closest to death member of the squad: Michael Larson!Mike really took a liking to a movie we reviewed not that long ago: Crank 2006. What really grabbed Mike's attention was the main character, Chev Chelios, why? Becuase Chelios never fucking dies, and neither does Mike! A heart attack couldn't kill him 2 years ago, all of Andy's repeated attempts at murder haven't worked, he has somehow found a way to outlive us all and you should be as terrified as the rest of us here at the pod. If there is someone out there that knows how to kill what can't be killed, please help us.The movie this week is Crank: High Voltage 2009, the much nee.... the much reque..... the sequel to Crank 2006. It's more high-octane action than you can handle, and that's just the podcast!We are on Spotify/Audible/YouTube Music/Podbean and more!We are on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FriedRicePodcastCheck out our website: www.friedricepodcast.comCall our VOICEMAIL: (702) 829-0117 and listen for this week's question!(don't worry, Andy isn't sitting in his room, waiting by his phone like it's the 90s, just fiddling with the long chord, watching "Black Lightning"...)
Poisoned by the potent and deadly mix of synthetic drugs called "The Beijing Cocktail" for getting in the way of the Triads, the tough-as-nails British hitman living in Los Angeles, Chev Chelios, wakes up with a terrible headache. With less than an hour to live, Chev will have to use all the help he can get from his doctor, and use every trick in the book, to consistently keep his heart rate up so that the adrenaline in his bloodstream staves off the effects of the deadly toxin. Now, his heart is pounding faster than any other human being, and as Chelios darts across the city's streets in search of an antidote and the arrogant criminal, Ricky Verona, to exact his revenge, he finds himself compelled to pick fights with no-nonsense drug dealers, murderous assassins, and an army of thugs. But, can Chelios stay alive long enough to protect those he loves, and make it through the day?
On this week's Film Sack podcast, professional assassin Chev Chelios learns his rival has injected him with a poison that will kill him if his heart rate drops. Basically Speed without the bus. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on The Last Row Podcast, Drew and Badway break down Jason Statham's high-octane 2006 action thriller, Crank. The guys discuss all-time name Chev Chelios' countless methods of keeping his adrenaline pumping to stay alive, from snorting bathroom floor coke to public love making and everything in between. Additionally, we learn that adrenaline = seeing yellow, why directing duos need to grow up and make their own movies, and you can't be mad at a hitman for killing, he's just doing his job. It's just business. -- Subscribe & Follow Us: Spotify Apple Podcasts YouTube Google Podcasts Twitter Facebook Instagram

Rob and Ellie from KVIKMYNDAPOD join Flixwatcher to review Rob's choice Crank. Crank is a 2006 action film from directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor and starring Jason Statham as hitman Chev Chelios. While asleep Chelios is injected by Chinese synthetic drug by small-time criminal Ricky Verona, which inhibits the flow of adrenaline, slowing the heart and will eventually kill Chelios. Chelios learns of this via a DVD recording and calls his Mafia surgeon Doc Miles who advises him to keep his adrenaline up by engaging in risky behaviour. Cue 88 minutes of the Stath driving recklessly, fighting with the police, taking drugs - including epinephrine, and having sex in public with Eve (Amy Smart) his girlfriend. Crank is a wild, insanely silly, occasionally offensive and innovative action film. Filmed on digital it allowed the directors to adopt a Gonzo approach to filming which adds to its overall feeling of craziness. Recommendability for Crank were pretty good, repeat viewing and engagement ratings were boosted by the sweet 88 minute runtime to give an overall rating of 3.38.

We're celebrating "Christmas with the Cranks" with (no additional modifiers) fan favorite Garrett Smith this week, and we're kicking things off with the original Crank! After chatting about the MCU and Mike Flanagan stuff for a while, we make a strong pitch for the Patreon and what to watch between now and New Year's Eve, including the (delightful) Young Rock holiday special. Then, we're hunting for roads in and around Miami in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (28:25) and diving deep into MC Jin's life and career. Then, Garrett joins us to talk about Crank (49:20) as we wonder whether Chev Chelios and Deckard Shaw are the same guy. We also talk about Statham's commitment to the part (and why he was perfectly cast), we chat about Nicolas Cage a bunch, and then have the weirdest "did you catch this guy in this movie" conversation we've ever had.

She gave you the finger, you took her to dinner, and you made her laugh. Its time to respectthe painfully derailed second solo career of Geraldine Estelle Halliwell.--------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome back to Pod of the Pops.Just like an apple, cut down the middle, she only has one matching half…….. If you don’tknow the lyrics I’m referencing then THIS podcast is going to be an EYEOPENER for you. The second Geri Halliwell career is really a long road of threats to release an album. She hits more road bumps than Rita Ora.Start the podcast in true Geri style….. an interview in The Guardian where she denouncesherself as a feminist: “For me, feminism is bra-burning lesbianism. It's very unglamorous...Weneed to see a celebration of our femininity and softness”Constantly comes back to her not knowing what her greatest assets are. I used to pictureher as a great speaker, politically engaging but actually – she is a monkey at a typewriter.If you type a thousand scripts, eventually one will say SpiceWorld. Example: I'm learning every day as a mother. I'm learning that she's like a flowerthat thrives when it gets sunlight, and the sunlight is confidence, and I feel thatwhen I'm confident it gives her self-esteem. And that gives me motivation to go onand be the best.……I, I, I, i…. iSpice On 12 April 2007, it was announced that Halliwell had signed a six-book deal with MacmillanChildrens Books. The books follow the adventures of nine-year-old Ugenia, a character basedon Halliwell, alongside her friends Bronte, Rudy, and Trevor.Each title feature a newsletter from Ugenia highlighting lessons she has learned, along withquizzes, riddles and crosswords, and available in an audio book edition read by Halliwell. Geri described it as “The rebith of girl power. Handing on the baton through a different medium.(If she has handed on the baton it would explain the next 7 years)There were rumours Geri had based one of the characters, Princess Posh Vattoria on her fellowbandmate, Mrs Victoria Beckham. Another character is called David Bockham. Not the mostcunning disguise, it is. She loves an obvious dance move; she loves an obvious character name.She appeared in early drafts but removed. According to the official site, the book sold more than 250,000 copies in its first 5 months, makingHalliwell 2008s most successful female celebrity childrens author.In September 2009, Halliwell, in her role as a Goodwill Ambassador of UNFPA, visited Nepal tohelp launch a national campaign to stop violence against womenIn 2009, she also makes a movie cameo. In the Jason Statham action comedy, Crank: HighVoltage. It’s a sequel in which Chev Chelios must electrocute himself regularly to stay alive –whilst a group of assassins take out hits on his life.Geri appears in a flashback; as the role of Jason Stathams mother. (I am assuming they usedthe scene from SpiceWorld where they play mothers as their inspiration). Clip. Clip.Now – I know this is just a bit of fun BUT can we discuss, for a moment, the role Geri playedin early feminism. And the irony then, that in 2009 she would appear in a film the Guardianaccussed of “extreme misogyny and racism” and “although nothing should be off limits incomedy” it amounts to “flashy, arrogant, emptiness”. Now, I haven’t seen 2010 had the makings of a big year for Geri. She has put wheels in motion; Scream if youwanna go faster. We start getting a lot of “Geri is coming back to music”. This is 5 years afterher last album (2005 Passion).March: Vocal coach Carrie Grant, famous as one half of the husband-wife team that coachedcontestants on reality TV show Fame Academy is being interviewed on The Alan Titchmarshshow (all big names) and she says Geri is working on a return to music. We also cover:- Her episode of Piers Morgans: Life Stories- Fashion Spice: she releases 3 collections with Next. A beach wear collection, a red carpet ready gown collection and a very patriotic Olympics range- Judge Spice: X factor UK and Australias got talent- Her foray into sitcom, with Trollied and the pilot of her own show, Life Sucks. - Her wedding to Christian Horner. With only one Spice Girl in attendance - "Other half of me" her Australian only single with some, ummm, questionable dance moves and lyrics- Her leaked country album, Man on the Mountain- Presenter Spice, hosting the One Show and her own driving show: My Drive to Freedom - George Michael charity single, Angels in chains, raising money for Childline - BBC talent show, All Together Now. Where Geri is blostered by 99 other panelists.

Chev Chelios may never be a bride. He may never land the DeLauer Diamond or Gulden's Mustard accounts. Chev may never stand on the pitcher's mound of a high school baseball field waiting to be kissed in front of the entire student body. Chev Chelios may never do any of these things thanks to that back-stabbing bitch, Ricky Verona. Oh, and also, Chev may die or something, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I don't think they'll be friends again. Join Helen and Valerie as they are joined by 'The Matts' [both of them!] for a head scratching look inside "the other kind of date movie". Hint, it's a light flow day.
It's The How to Survive Survivor's Hall of Fame 2016! In this episode, we discuss a spotlight survivor. Someone who defied expectation and stood out as a model for everyone else in their movie, but didn't go quite far enough to make it into the Hall of Fame. This is the second runner-up: Chev Chelios Keep the Tweets coming in: @howtosurvivepod Email us at: howtosurviveshow@gmail.com Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world.
This week, a movie with a moral compass that would make Ghengis Khan run for the hills... it's Crank! Crank (2006) tells the story of Chev Chelios, a hit man who grew a conscience at the wrong time. After failing to carry out a hit, Chev has been injected with a 'Chinese Poison'. The poison has shut down his adrenaline production and now his heart will stop if he fails to produce his own... so now he's on a runaway rampage of revenge and really unpleasant behaviour. We talk about whether a film with no brain can be criticised for poor representations of everyone in it; the fine line between a healthy dose and an overdose; and the difficulties of finding an adrenaline burst in every day activities. All of which leads to one big question: How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure... It's the stimulation of your blood vessels. Your urinary sphincter's tight as a knot right now. You couldn't p*** to save your life. Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world.
The New Flesh is proud to present an in-depth interview with Mark Neveldine, one half of prolific writer/director duo Neveldine/Taylor responsible for the CRANK series.

Enjoy!First we check out new teen sensation Zac Efron's new movie, 17 Again. What would you do if you got a second shot at life? Class of 1989: Mike O'Donnell (Zac Efron) is a star on the high school basketball court with a college scout in the stands and a bright future in his grasp. But instead, he decides to throw it all away to share his life with his girlfriend Scarlet and the baby he just learned they are expecting. Almost 20 years later, Mike's (Matthew Perry) glory days are decidedly behind him. His marriage to Scarlet (Leslie Mann) has fallen apart, he has been passed over for a promotion at work, his teenage kids think he is a loser, and he has been reduced to crashing with his high school nerd-turned-techno-billionaire best friend Ned (Thomas Lennon). But Mike is given another chance when he is miraculously transformed back to the age of 17. Unfortunately, Mike may look 17 again, but his thirtysomething outlook is totally uncool among the class of 2009. And in trying to recapture his best years, Mike could lose the best things that ever happened to him.Next we check out the latest Jason Statham movie, Crank: High Voltage.

All eyes are upon the rising star to be his party's contender for the upcoming presidential race. Until his research assistant/mistress is brutally murdered and buried secrets come tumbling out. D.C. reporter Cal McCaffrey has the dubious fortune of both an old friendship with Collins and a ruthless editor, Cameron, who has assigned him to investigate. As he and partner Della try to uncover the killer's identity, McCaffrey steps into a cover-up that threatens to shake the nation's power structures. And in a town of spin-doctors and wealthy politicos, he will discover one truth: when billions are at stake, no one's integrity, love or life is ever safe.Be sure to check out more Behind the Scenes!
