Podcast appearances and mentions of Fred Dekker

Are you a 50 year old man with a t-shirt stating, “Wolfman's Got Nards”? Hey 50 year old guy, did you know that's actually a quote from the 1987 Fred Dekker film “Monster Squad”? Wait, you didn't? So you just decided it would be a good idea to wear a shirt out in public referencing the reproductive parts of a Werewolf for all the world to see? Well buddy, have I got a podcast for you! It's this one.

Vi gräver djupare i Robocop-träsket där vi stöter på allt från jetpacks, folkmord och eldkastare till barn-genier och cyberninjor! Trots allt det vi rabblat upp valde studion att DRA NER på våldet och ja, då får vi denna skapelse där Dark Knight-författaren Frank Miller varit inblandad i.  Robocop 3 är en amerikansk science fiction-film, som hade biopremiär i USA den 5 november 1993, regisserad av Fred Dekker. Handlingen: OCP ger inte upp sina försök att riva Detroit och bygga upp Delta City. De sitter in sin insatsstyrka, The Rehabs, ledda av den skonigslöse Paul McDaggett, för att utplåna de återstående motståndarna. Robocop går med de modiga rebellerna för att försvara samhällets hem, och tar hand om en liten föräldralös flicka som påminner honom om hans försvunna familj.

Firstly, we're doing some Fred Dekker films, so ya gotta start with 1986's “Night of the Creeps”. More pressing however, JR would like you to know that he does know other Tom Atkins films, like “Maniac Cop”, and “Creepshow”, and “The Fog”, and “Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo”. You haven't even listened to the episode yet and he's already told me to warn you that he's not a guy who forgets Tom Atkins movies.

It's pretty much universally agreed on that 2018's 'The Predator', from action auteur Shane Black, is a hot goddamn mess. But what made it such a hot mess? Is it the uncomfortable ableism? Black's decision to heavily involve his buddy Fred Dekker in the screenwriting? The big revelations about the reasons behind the Predators' visits to Earth that absolutely nobody liked? The reshot and reworked third act? That disastrous MCU-style stinger? There's so much to discuss here... and lucky you, HPH is here to cover all of it!

House is a 1985 American comedy horror film directed by Steve Miner, with a screenplay by Ethan Wiley, from an original story written by Fred Dekker. Produced by Sean S. Cunningham, the film is the first installment in the House film series, and stars William Katt, George Wendt, Richard Moll, and Kay Lenz. The film's score was composed by Henry Manfredini.

Robocop 3 (1993)Directed by Fred DekkerStarring: Robert John Burke, Nancy Allen, Rip Torn, Bradley WhitfordThey PG-13'd a franchise built on ultraviolence, gave Robocop a jetpack, and somehow thought a ninja robot was the answer. Welcome to Robocop 3.This is the movie that killed Fred Dekker's career, broke Frank Miller's spirit, and somehow still made money. John and Sean strap in for one of the most gloriously misguided entries in the history of cult classics — a kids' movie with a body count, a legacy character dispatched in the laziest standoff ever committed to film, and a half-man, half-robot hero who shows up 20 minutes late to his own movie.In this episode, we discuss:The Great Downgrade — Peter Weller's out, Robert John Burke is crammed into a suit that doesn't fit, and the result is exactly as uncomfortable as it sounds. We debate who's really at fault: the actor, the suit, or the whole cursed production.PG-13: The Franchise Killer — How stripping Robocop of everything that made him terrifying, visceral, and satirically brilliant in favor of toy-friendly family entertainment is the original sin this movie never recovers from.Too Many Factions, Zero Payoff — Splatter punks, Rehab mercenaries, a Japanese corporate ninja, a child hacker, the resistance, the cops — this movie stuffs more into a paper bag than the bag can hold, and then the bag explodes.The Jetpack Scene — No further comment necessary. You'll know it when you see it. It looks exactly as bad as you're imagining.We Also Talked About:Remake, Remix, Rip-Off (Youtube) (2014, dir. Cem Kaya) — A documentary on Turkish pop cinema where three screenwriters ran an entire film industry, stunt safety was a suggestion, and they painted the film stock purple when they ran out of color.Neighbors - Episode 6 - "Yellow Thong Bikini" (Amazon) - Sean wraps up his coverage of the series with episode 6, "Yellow Thong Bikini" — the one he definitely couldn't watch with his kid. A 70-something man exercises around his California neighborhood in nothing but a yellow thong bikini, gets run out of town by disapproving neighbors, relocates to a Florida nudist colony, and somehow ends up entangled with a college student making hip-hop videos. It's exactly what it sounds like, and Sean recommends it with very specific caveats.Psycho Ape (Youtube) (2020) — John's new obsession: a Nike-wearing killer gorilla loose in Detroit, shot on a home camera. Also available via Found Footage Fest on Kindie.tv.High School U.S.A. (Youtube) (1983) — A made-for-TV fever dream starring Michael J. Fox, Crispin Glover, Anthony Edwards, and Todd Bridges.Mallrats (Youtube)(1995, dir. Kevin Smith) — John revisits Kevin Smith and remembers a better time. The specter of an upcoming Kevin Smith episode looms large.Anaconda (Amazon)(2025, dir. Brad Peyton, starring Jack Black & Paul Rudd) — Streaming on Netflix.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week. We're proud members of the YouRun Podcast Network.

"Thomas JANEuary" concludes with 2018's The Predator, an attempt to resurrect, revitalize, and "event-ize" the classic sci-fi action franchise. To do so, 20th Century Fox recruited famed Hollywood action screenwriter and the acclaimed director of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Nice Guys, and Iron Man 3 (and co-star of the original Predator movie), Shane Black, as well as his former Monster Squad collaborator Fred Dekker, to helm a new entry with an interesting ensemble cast. But The Predator would face a particularly rocky road to the big screen, and we're here to discuss the film's various production headaches and controversies...and explore the important question of the month = what's the deal with Thomas Jane in this one??

Shane Black, Jim Herzfeld, Fred Dekker, and David Silverman look back on their formative years at UCLA and the shared house that became a creative hub and lifelong support system. What began as a loose collective of film-obsessed college friends evolved into a 24-hour open-door hangout where movie watching, gaming, writing, joking, and low-budget filmmaking fueled both friendships and ambition. In the early 1980s, these young creatives found their voices, their confidence, and their drive by building a scene together. The group reflects on how that community shaped their careers and helped launch work that would later define modern film, television, comedy, animation, and genre storytelling. From blockbuster screenwriting and cult-classic filmmaking to animation history and television production, their shared origins reveal how collaboration, camaraderie, and persistence can have a lasting impact on both art and life. The episode celebrates the power of creative tribes and how a single house full of passionate film nerds helped produce some of the most influential movies and shows of the last three decades.

Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, The Nice Guys)  Jim Herzfeld (Meet The Parents/Fockers), Fred Dekker (Preditor), & David Silverman (The Simpsons) reminisce about their college hangout that became the social group that supported their life and art for the rest of their lives.  They describe a house full of UCLA film nerds with a 24 hour open house policy.  It was young guys finding themselves and their drive and their fun by making a scene in the early 1980's. Movie watching, game playing, movie making, and joking around led to a group of people that has made some of the biggest films of the last 30 years.  Bio: JIM HERZFELD is an American film and television screenwriter who has also done work as a television producer. Herzfeld graduated from UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT) and his earliest TV credit – on the ground breaking “It's Garry Shandling's Show” -- was followed by almost 10 years of writing and producing episodes on dozens of sitcom staffs, including the Fox TV classic "Married... With Children." Herzfeld's earliest feature film work was a writing credit on the cult comedy “Tapeheads“ in 1988. His most successful work was writing the screenplay for the 2000 film” Meet the Parents” as well as writing the story and screenplay for its 2004 sequel “Meet the Fockers.” To date, both those films remain on the list of the 20 Highest Grossest Comedies. More recently, in 2015 his screenplay for “Meet the Parents” was selected by the Writer's Guild of America's as one of the “101 Funniest Screenplays” of all time. Herzfeld was also the writer of the canceled Circle 7 Animation version of Toy Story 3 and has done countless punch-up and rewrites on dozens of big budget comedies and animated films for virtually every major studio.  Herzfeld has also guest lectured about screenwriting at several major universities, including NYU, UCLA and AFI along with appearing on writer panels at various film festivals, most notably the Austin Film Festival where Jim was a judge for their Comedy Screenplay Competition. Currently, Herzfeld continues to write and develop comedy screenplays and recently became an advisor for Scripthop, a software startup focused on revolutionizing how screenplays are both presented and circulated throughout the entertainment industry. FRED DEKKER - Pursuing a movie career, he moved to Los Angeles where his fledgling screenwriting efforts led to a Hollywood agent and a job writing Godzilla: King of the Monsters for director Steve Miner. Although the film went unproduced, Dekker provided the story for Miner's 1985 horror-comedy House, starring William Katt (screenplay by Ethan Wiley). The film was recognized by the Fantasporto and the Avoriaz Film Festivals, and spawned several sequels. Dekker made his directorial debut with Night of the Creeps, an homage to B-movies that eventually developed a devoted cult following. He went on to direct another cult favorite, The Monster Squad, co-written with his UCLA friend Shane Black. He subsequently wrote five episodes of Tales From The Crypt, including the first episode, directed by Robert Zemeckis. In 1991, Dekker conceived the Denzel Washington starrer Ricochet and the spy spoof If Looks Could Kill, both for Warner Bros. He then returned to the director's chair for the third RoboCop film, co-written with comic book legend Frank Miller. As a script doctor, Dekker made uncredited contributions to films including Titan A.E. and Lethal Weapon 4. He then served as Consulting Producer and wrote three episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise. In 2015, he reteamed with Shane Black on a western TV pilot for Amazon Studios, entitled Edge. The two went on to co-write the 2018 release The Predator, which Black also directed. Dekker's international awards include the Silver Raven from the Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film; the Estrella de Fantastico Award from the 2019 Bilbao Fantasy Film Festival; and the 2024 Honorary Time Machine Award (Premi Màquina del Temps) at the Sitges Film Festival for his contributions to horror and fantasy cinema. He is currently developing a true crime limited series for Amazon based on a murder which occurred in his hometown.SHANE BLACK is a writer/director whose writing credits include such films as Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight and The Monster Squad.  He began as a director in 2005 with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and receives increasingly strident sequel requests for 2016's The Nice Guys.  He is currently writing a spec original and trying to lose some weight by New Years'.  Not that he's fat -- he's just old, and being careful.DAVID SILVERMAN After graduating from UCLA in 1983, David Silverman worked as a freelance illustrator and animator until, in 1987, he landed a job animating on The Tracey Ullman Show — where The Simpsons began. Animating on all 48 shorts led to David directing the first shows of The Simpsons. Starting with the Christmas Special in December 1989, and then the premiere episode the following month, David soon became Supervising Animation Director and a producer on The Simpsons. All told, he has directed 24 episodes and has won 4 Emmys along the way.  When no one was looking, David snuck away from The Simpsons to work at DreamWorks (The Road to El Dorado – co-director), Pixar (Monsters, Inc. – co-director), and Blue Sky (Ice Age, Robots – writing and boarding). But, he came back to the show full-time at the end of 2003 and directed The Simpsons Movie. In 2012, David directed and co-wrote the short film The Longest Daycare about Maggie Simpson, which earned him an Academy Award nomination.And since the Disney acquisition of The Simpsons (via the purchase of Fox), David has directed 10 Simpsons shorts especially for Disney+, as well as several promotional pieces.Editing Notes: There are many verbal cuts on the show we directed to Dan. Also after the show, Shane Black emailed and ask we cut out this.  I say “It's nice your place was a rape free environment” and Shane says something like: “But not rape free for guys,”. He wants his comment cut.

Can a Gang of Kids Really Save the World from Classic Monsters?Welcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast, where hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell venture into completely new territory with The Monster Squad (1987)—a film neither had seen before. This nostalgic cult classic brings together Universal's greatest monsters in what should be the ultimate horror crossover, but does it hold up without those rose-tinted glasses of childhood? Join these first-time viewers as they dissect whether the magic works when you're encountering Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, and the Wolfman for the first time as adults.Coming at The Monster Squad cold, both hosts find themselves intrigued by the premise but puzzled by the execution. While the movie looks great and delivers some genuinely fun moments—like Dracula's lightning-rod cane and the mummy's slow-motion chase scenes—they struggle to connect with characters who feel more like archetypes than actual kids. The film's reliance on nostalgia for both 1980s adventure films and classic Universal monsters creates a double-edged sword: those with childhood memories may overlook its flaws, but newcomers are left wondering why the scary German neighbor is so accommodating and where all that dynamite came from. Still, they appreciate the earnest effort and Shane Black's co-writing credits, ultimately landing on a solid 6 out of 10 rating.Additional insights from the discussion:The problematic language choices feel particularly jarring to modern ears, even accounting for 1980s contextFat Kid's pizza-as-weapon moment raises questions about just how sensitive vampires are to garlicThe film's treatment of individual monsters feels uneven, with Wolfman getting a complete arc while the Mummy serves mainly as comic reliefFrankenstein's redemption and the portal mechanics create unexpectedly emotional momentsThe army showing up because of a letter written in crayon perfectly captures the film's toneBoth hosts acknowledge that The Monster Squad clearly resonates with those who grew up watching it, even if it didn't quite capture their adult hearts. The movie delivers on spectacle and has undeniable charm, making it a worthwhile watch for anyone curious about this slice of 1980s monster movie nostalgia.Want more retro movie magic? Visit TruStory FM to explore The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast and other great shows.

The story so far: After a year and a half underground, we've made it to the best time of the year! Sadly, we've hit the end of Sellout October 2025! During October, we watch mainstream horror movies that people have heard of before. And after trick-or-mole-treating around Mole City, we were gifted a film as a little treat, and it turned out to be The Monster Squad from 1987! It's a first time watch for one of us (can you guess who?!), and we bask in the glory of Stan Winston's amazing costumes, discuss the constant necessity of virgins in horror, talk way too much about foreskin, and just shower this movie with love! As Sellout October comes to an end, we hope you all have the spookiest of Halloweens!!!Leave us a 30 second voicemail and if we like it we'll play it on the show: (949) 4-STABBY (949-478-2229)Next movie announced every Wednesday.

Fred Dekker's 1987 Goonies-esque monster adventure, THE MONSTER SQUAD, is our feature presentation this week!

A group of 12-year-olds form a Universal Monsters fan club called Monster Squad, and have to attempt to save their hometown from Count Dracula and his monsters when they show up for real.The Monster Squad (1987) is a cult classic horror-comedy that blends childhood adventure with iconic monster mayhem. Directed by Fred Dekker and co-written with Shane Black, it's a nostalgic tribute to Universal's classic monsters with a Goonies-style twist.

THE MONSTER SQUAD brings the Universal Monsters of yore into the '80s with a healthy dose of sugar-blasted cereal and unmedicated ADHD. Directed by Fred Dekker (NIGHT OF THE CREEPS) & written by both Dekker and Shane Black (THE NICE GUYS, LETHAL WEAPON, KISS KISS BANG BANG, most of your favorite movies ever), this combined family drama, top-notch makeup effects and preteen comedy with unapologetic horror. Dracula calls a 5-year-old girl a bitch, because of course, he would? As was done to Freddy Kreuger in this decade, the Universal Monsters were sanitized into cereal mascots and plushies but Dekker and Black's script remind us not to be fooled.

Believe it or not, this episode's been a long time coming for us. We've talked about covering this movie since the beginning of the pod, but we finally sat down to review HOUSE (1985)! This film from director Steve Miner and writers Fred Dekker and Ethan Wiley has been a favorite of our host Nick for many, many years, and it was a delight to finally discuss it on the show. Although this review is not without its cost, as Nick has to endure far more comic talk than he could have possibly anticipated before we hit "record." But we had a blast chatting about the movie, taboo tooth-brushing techniques, Herculean efforts to unearth four eighties comic books, introducing the K.R.E.O.N. certification system and much more. We really hope everyone enjoys the review.
