Yes, kids. There was actually a TV show about a detective who solved crimes by transforming into various animals. The 1980s were a silly time. And for a TV show this absurd, we need an amusing TV expert like Ken Reid (@kennethWreid) of the TV Guidance Counselor podcast! Thanks for listening to Overhated!

Just a few years before he became the world's most adorable movie star, Tom Hanks appeared in a big handful of colorful movies, and while this 1990 effort didn't exactly blow the box office down, it has grown into a bona-fide cult favorite over the decades. And I happened to find a film expert who calls Joe Versus the Volcano his favorite movie of all time.

Can a movie directed by one of the most celebrated filmmakers of all time be overhated? Well, sure. Reggie Jackson once said that the worst thing about having a 4 homer game is that people expect you to do it every night -- and that definitely holds true for filmmakers too. This really is one of the director's most divisive films -- and it's not the last Spielberg movie we'll cover on Overhated! Anyway, our guest for this lengthy episode is a literal rock star: it's Aaron "P-Nut" Wills from 311!  follow him on twitter for confirmation! (@pnut) Thanks to all patrons, listeners, and guests!

The original version of The Hitcher arrived in theaters in 1986, and while it wasn't a big hit (the movie actually lost money), it became a cult favorite the moment it hit home video and cable TV. (Rest in peace, Rutger Hauer!) So of course there was bound to be a remake of this one during the Great Remake Deluge of the 2000s. For this episode I'm joined by horror historian / critic / nerd Brian Collins (@brianWcollins) to discuss the practically forgotten and potentially overhated 2007 version.

When you invite a comparison to John Carpenter's 1982 classic The Thing, you're kind of looking for trouble. But then to remove most of the practical monster FX at the last minute?

Any longtime Friday the 13th fan, especially the older ones, would probably agree that Part 8 is the most frequently maligned chapter of the original octology. (Well, Part 8 or Part 5, anyway.) So it was a lot of fun to discuss this movie with my good pal and Found Footage 3D director Steven DeGennaro (@stevendegennaro), a man who deeply loves horror movies.

If you need someone to defend an "indefensible" movie, veteran film writer Walter Chaw (@mangiotto) is someone you want on your starting team. One might think it'd be difficult to find positive things to say about this messy sci-fi bomb, but Walter has no problem doing so -- probably because he's been knee-deep in Walter Hill cinema in preparation for his new book! So if you're a big fan of the guy who gave us The Warriors, 48 HRS. and (yes) Supernova, then this episode is for you. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

This one was painful for me to revisit. Fortunately I have a very upbeat guest with which to discuss this misshapen combination of sweat, decibels, and paint.

As a horror fan who grew up knee-deep in the 1980s, let me just say this: David Cronenberg's The Fly (1986) is one of the best horror films of the entire decade. Without question.

As a big thanks to all our listeners, I've invited Erik Childress to join me for a discussion regarding 2023's most overhated films. And yes, there were a few.

As most of you know, I love doing cons. Why? Well, not only do I get to meet some amazing readers, but I also get to spend time with other amazing authors. The last show I did in 2021 I got the chance to hang out with my next guest for three days of fun and mayhem. This effin' guy was so much effin' fun that I'm sure I had more fun than a whole sackfull of Collared Observer Penguins who would rightly tell you to sit back, relax, and get some fucking popcorn, it's shitshow time. Bryan, what, did you just say?You heard me right. Sit back and grab your thesaurus of expletives, my next guest is Aaron Reynolds, author of Effin' Birds, A field guide to identification. Aaron, welcome to the effin' show.Join us as we find out more about our good friend Aaron and how Effn' Birds came into being.  We will talk about all kinds of cool things.What started first, the jokes or the deep and abiding interest in what birds?I have, for years, and idea for a coffee table book, but it has stalled on me because of the whole novel writing and podcasting thing. Something about needing more time for stuff. But when was it that you knew you had an idea for a coffee table book?How does a coffee table book differ in terms of writing that versus a novel do you think?What things surprised you about writing Effin' Birds?If you can go back in time, and tell your writer self anything, any bit of advice, what would that be?What bit of advice we were given when we were first starting out that we did not need at all?So you wrote an amazing effn' book. Then you decided to get into the cards. I think we sometimes forget about the idea of merchandizing outside of just our books. I am curious what led you to the cards.What's effn' next for you?If you are so inclined, any support you can offer the show would be most appreciated.

Horror has a fairly narrow relationship with cartoons. Scooby doo paved the way for others to tip their toes in, and Courage the Cowardly Dog angled toward an absurdist bent where horror and comedy meet. Unfortunately, not even these two titans of the genre can withstand the Curse of the Direct to Video Movie. Thanks to Dan Caves of The Cocktail Party Congress and Nic Robes of What's With You Scooby Doo for coming on the show!

Aaron was raised in Mississauga, Canada, a suburb where they cut down all the trees and named the streets after them. He currently splits his time between Toronto and Ottawa. HUMOR ACROSS AGES & CULTURES. David began this episode by identifying the role humor has in personal and situational awareness. People in touch with humor are better-equipped to identify and react to the nuances of life. In safety situations that can be the difference between life and death. David stated, "Humor is observed in all cultures and at all ages.  Historically, psychologists framed humor negatively, suggesting it demonstrated superiority, vulgarity or, per Freud, was a defense mechanism.  But, modern research offers strong evidence that humor activities.  People that appreciate humor report greater life satisfaction than those who don't see the humor.  Clinical psychologists are using humor to increase subjective well-being.  Humor is an essential part of personal safety - as people receptive to humor tend to perceive the subtle nuances of situations and not to be too literal and linear - which is difficult to do in a world that can punish you for laughing." WHAT IS EFFIN' BIRDS? A compact, comprehensive, and very silly field guide featuring more than 200 of the rudest birds on earth. Effin' Birds is the most eagerly anticipated new volume in the grand and noble profession of nature writing and bird identification. Sitting proudly alongside Sibley, Kaufman, and Peterson, this book contains more than 150 pages crammed full of classic, monochrome plumage art paired with the delightful but dirty aphorisms (think "I'm going to need more booze to deal with this week") that made the Effin' Birds Twitter feed a household name. Also included in its full, Technicolor glory is John James Audubon's most beautiful work matched with modern life advice. Including never-before-seen birds, insults, and field notes, this guide is a must-have for any effin' fan or birder. EFFIN' BIRDS INTERNET MEMES. Effin' Birds memes have infected the Internet – in a good way, with some type of powerful condition that invokes belly laughs, smiles and a re-conditioning of personalities. David and Aaron discussed the witty comments social media users routinely post whenever an Effin' Bird meme appears on their screen. A common theme is for people to see the reflections of their own lives within the memes. A stoic bird above the caption, “Frankly, I Expected More,” describes the majority of work meetings, right? You can't say it, but you're thinking it – and yep, there's an Effin' Bird meme for that! WHEN WILL THE BOOK BE AVAILABLE? After crowd-funded the first printing of the 208-page “A Guide To Field Identification – Effin' Birds,” Ten Speed Press asked Aaron to refine his original work. There was a sticky point, however. In order for the book to release for the Christmas season in America, Aaron had only 3 months to render the final version. He met the deadline and Effin' Birds releases through Ten Speed Press on October 15, 2019. Due to strong pre-orders, it is already debuting as the #1 new release in Bird Field Guides. EFFIN' BIRDS MERCHANDISE. Find me the person that doesn't relish in a deck of Effin' Birds playing cards! Go to effinbirds.com for your stocking stuffers and everyday supply of clothing, mugs, pins, cards and the Effin' Birds book. WHAT IS THE FIRESIDE? Throughout this interview, Aaron shares his strategies for turnings negativity and stress into positive creative energy. He attends and presents at the Fireside Conference at rural (no WIFI) Camp Walden in Canada. As one attendee wrote, "It's tempting to describe Fireside as an innovators version of Woodstock. However it wasn't Woodstock – or Coachella, Glastonbury, Afrika Burn, or even Burning Man. It was all of them and none of them at the same time." FOLLOW DR.

“Notifications are the devil and I work hard to have relevant ones.” ⁠This is the kind of zinger you can expect from this week's conversation with Aaron Reynolds, creator of Effin' Birds. Christina first met Aaron at fireside conference - a tech-free event for techies - three years ago. Since then, he's been an unexpected and enthusiastic supporter of the JOMO movement. When it comes to our relationship with digital, he says: "It's always a work in progress. You've got to keep thinking about it.” Aaron Reynolds is a humourist, professional speaker, and the man behind the wildly popular @EffinBirds and @swear_trek Twitter accounts.
