Welcome to REP's audio commentary for the third feature length CGI Film - Resident Evil Vendetta.  Hopes were high going into the original release of this film, the prologue seemed scary, Chris and Leon team up again and the further return of Rebecca Chambers pumped up the expectations of another bioweapon flick. Sadly this film did not impress at the time and with this commentary, many were returning for the first time. Join STARS TyranT, Neptune and a slightly poorly Rombie as we watch along this John Wick, Saw and of course Looney Tune inspired entry into the Biohazard franchise.

Kenji Tanigaki's The Furious took TIFF by storm last year, and now, it's finally here. This week, we review this martial arts extravaganza and discuss its comparisons — justly or unjustly — to The Raid and The Raid 2. However, one thing is for sure: The Furious is one of the best action movies of the last decade, coming close to just reinventing the entire visual language of the action movies we love.

No hard sell required with this one. Operation: Iron Coffin #1 is in shops today, courtesy of IDW Publishing. It's concocted by our new favorite comic book dynamic duo, Kenny Porter and Tyrell Cannon (with letterer Shawn Lee). In its pages, you'll see Bram Stoker's Dracula working for the Allies during World War II. Like a bomb, he's dropped from a plane upon a secret Nazi gold train. He lands in the caboose. He proceeds to slaughter his way toward the engine. Many losers are torn limb from limb. Folks have already compared its action to John Wick, but it's more like Game of Death smashed with Snowpiercer. As Dracula works his bloody way down the train, new foes present themselves, boss-level style, and each one represents a different mindset or philosophy. Porter and Cannon excel in the excessive bodily harm, but simmering beneath the violence is a powerful reckoning with the human experience and the darkest depths our species can plunge. In the last few years, we've spent a lot of time pondering vampires, mortals, and their relationship to the soul. How fun to have Kenny Porter and Tyrell Cannon on the podcast this week to discuss bloodsuckers, human monsters, evil, and capital E Evil. This is a full-spoilers conversation about Operation: Iron Coffin #1. Be warned. However, this is kind of an unspoilable book. Nothing we say in this podcast can rob the comic of its visual might. So, listen based on your own spoiler sensitivity. But, seriously, you should just grab the comic the next time you're in the shop. Follow Kenny Porter on Instagram and Bluesky.

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends, but we like to take it easy during the summer months for Scandalous Games Summer, where we offer a syncable audio commentary track of a video game related movie. This month, in light of the recent (as of the recording) passing of Double Dragon creator Yoshihisa Kishimoto (https://www.ign.com/articles/yoshihisa-kishimoto-creator-of-double-dragon-and-renegade-dies-at-64). Kevin, Kate Lynch, and Ryan Weaver have some fun riffing (and offering historical context) for the silly 1994 adaptation of Double Dragon (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106761/). Listen along and learn just how many Bimmy jokes we cram into one commentary.If you want to skip our intro and get right to the commentary, skip to 06:49.Kevin went down a fun little rabbit hole about Ed Feldman and Joe L'Erario, the guys fro the Jack City advertisement in the movie. They were the hosts of a set of furniture restoration shows that started on public access in Philadelphia and eventually made their way to cable. You can learn more about them at: https://www.thefurnitureguys.tv/.If you want to learn about the Cuyahoga River's habit of catching on fire and eventually help spark the environmental movement of the 1970s, see: Lorraine Boissoneault, "The Cuyahoga River Caught Fire at Least a Dozen Times, but No One Cared Until 1969," Smithsonian Magazine, June 19, 2019, https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/cuyahoga-river-caught-fire-least-dozen-times-no-one-cared-until-1969-180972444/.

However, he was not when Double Dragon released, serving from 1975 to 1983 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Brown). Fun fact, he was later reelected in 2011 and was the namesake for the landmark 2011 Supreme Court case Brown, et al. v. Entertainment Merchants Assn. et al., which granted video games free speech protection in the United States (https://www.oyez.org/cases/2010/08-1448; check out our previous episode to learn more).More info, including show notes and sources at http://scandalousgamespodcast.wordpress.com.

In this episode of And Now For Something Completely Machinima, Tracy Harwood, Phil Rice and Damien Valentine examine Stolen, a 30-minute GTA V machinima by Dark Frame Films (Kevin Fernandez, aka Shepherd41). Set in a near-future world where consciousness can be transferred between bodies through the mysterious "Rebirth Project," the film follows former soldier John Bell on a relentless quest to recover his daughter's stolen body and restore her consciousness.The discussion explores the film's ambitious blend of cyberpunk worldbuilding, transhumanist philosophy, revenge-thriller storytelling and cinematic action choreography. The hosts consider how themes of identity, bodily ownership, digital consciousness and technological immortality resonate with contemporary debates around AI, neural interfaces and human enhancement.Along the way, they compare Stolen to films such as John Wick, Taken, Man on Fire and Payback, while also discussing the strengths and limitations of GTA V as a filmmaking platform compared with Cyberpunk 2077. The conversation highlights the film's impressive cinematography, custom modifications, visual storytelling and sound design, while also critiquing pacing, editing choices and the use of AI-generated voice performances.Despite differing opinions on its length and execution, the panel agrees that Stolen presents compelling ideas and demonstrates the creative potential of machinima for exploring complex science-fiction concepts through virtual production. 00:00 – Introduction Phil introduces the episode and the panel.  Tracy presents this week's featured film: Stolen by Dark Frame Films. 01:40 – The Premise of Stolen The Rebirth Project, body donors and transferable consciousness.  Why the film's central idea immediately captured Tracy's attention. 04:00 – Cyberpunk Themes and Transhumanism Digital identity, body ownership and consciousness transfer.  Connections to contemporary debates around AI and neural technologies. 08:10 – Revenge Story or Philosophical Sci-Fi? Comparisons with John Wick and other revenge narratives.  Questions of identity, selfhood and what makes a person "themselves." 11:30 – Ambition vs Execution Discussion of editing, pacing and the challenges of showcasing custom GTA V mods while telling a story. 12:50 – Damien's Perspective Why the film could have worked within Cyberpunk 2077.  The importance of GTA V's cinematic tools and Rockstar Editor. 15:40 – Silent Protagonists and Visual Storytelling Why John Bell's lack of dialogue largely succeeds.  Storytelling through action and environmental context. 18:45 – AI-Generated Voice Acting Damien discovers the voices were AI-generated.  Debate about performance quality versus accessibility. 19:15 – GTA V as a Filmmaking Platform Rockstar Editor, recamming and cinematic camera control.  Why GTA V remains one of the strongest machinima production environments. 23:30 – Influences and Inspirations Comparisons to Taken, Man on Fire, John Wick, Steven Seagal films and Payback.  The enduring appeal of revenge-and-recovery narratives. 24:50 – Story Structure Critique Whether the film waits too long to reveal the protagonist's motivation.  The importance of establishing emotional stakes earlier. 30:00 – Sound Design Analysis Praise for combat sound effects and musical score.  Discussion of ambience, spatial audio, reverb and sound placement. 33:40 – Script, Narrative Twist and Midpoint Reveal Why the central revelation changes audience assumptions.  The strengths of the film's writing and worldbuilding. 36:00 – Why the AI Voices Don't Quite Work The impact of synthetic performances on an otherwise strong script.  The missed opportunity to use human voice actors. 39:00 – The Third Act and Ending Questions of forgiveness, guilt and personal responsibility.  A powerful idea that may not be fully resolved by the conclusion. 43:30 – Memorable Moments The hosts discuss the film's most spectacular action sequences.  Phil awards a tongue-in-cheek "Machinima First" for an especially gruesome helicopter-blade death. 44:10 – Final Verdicts Overall impressions and hopes to see more work from Dark Frame Films.  Closing thoughts and audience invitation to share their views.Credits -Co-hosts: Phil Rice, Tracy Harwood, Damien ValentineProducer/Editor: Phil RiceMusic: Phil Rice & SunoAI

Radical Jack (2000) Directed by: David Heavener Cast: Billy Ray Cyrus, Dee Dee Pfeiffer, George Buck Flower, Noah BlakeBilly Ray Cyrus walked so John Wick could run — and then immediately tripped over his own mullet. This week on Dewey Pod Monster, we strap in for Radical Jack, the year-2000 straight-to-video action masterpiece that dared to ask: what if Road House, but worse? And also Billy Ray Cyrus? John and Sean wade through bad squibs, flat beer pours, and a parking lot brawl soundtracked inexplicably like Indiana Jones to bring you the full, unfiltered breakdown of one of cinema's most radical — and most ignored — action heroes.In this episode, we discuss:Sweating Gravy and Pouring Flat Beer — Billy Ray Cyrus plays a bartender/drifter/ex-CIA operative who cannot pour a proper pint to save his life, throws punches that somehow produce a gallon of blood each, and builds a shed like a man who has never seen a hammer before. His mullet, however, gives an Oscar-worthy performance.Road House Lite and the Lamest Codename in Desert Storm History — "Radical Jack" was apparently his military callsign, and hearing it said out loud is somehow even sadder than it reads. We break down why this movie is a bargain-bin Road House clone, why the villain has about 30 seconds of screen time, and how Dee Dee Pfeiffer becomes a precision marksman in the final act with zero prior experience.George Buck Flower Cleans Up Poorly — The beloved character actor best known for playing bums shows up as the big bad here — clean-shaven, pock-faced, and looking like a haunted Richard Nixon. His rotten gums are more compelling than the plot.The Case for Radical Jack 2: Radical Harder — We make a passionate, arguably sincere argument that this should have launched a 36-film franchise. Billy Ray Cyrus is not an actor. That is exactly the point. Go in with a buzz. You'll understand.We Also Talked About:Fortress (1992) (Youtube) — Christopher Lambert goes underground (literally) in a dystopian prison where a stomach bomb called the Intestinator explodes you if you cross the red line. Features Kurtwood Smith's crusty nipple and laser bars that are just red tubes.Supervixens (1975) (DailyMotion)— Russ Meyer's beautifully shot, aggressively booby sexploitation comedy about a sweet guy named Clint who cannot stop women from wanting to sleep with him. A deaf girl, a German milkmaid, and Charles Napier as a creepy cop. Recommended if that's your thing.Pink Flamingos (1972) (Archive.org) — John Waters. Divine. A competition for filthiest person alive. Eggs. An illegal adoption ring. A chicken. A real blowjob. A prolapsed anus as performance art. A licensing nightmare. Sean had to look away twice. We're not going further than that.Magic Merry-Go-Round (2024) (Amazon)— Think Late Night With the Devil but Mr. Rogers. The most unhinged, deranged puppet horror movie John has seen in years. Shot in 4:3. Best watched with substances if that's your thing, but you've been warned.Raw Justice (1994) (Tubi) — David A. Prior. Pamela Anderson. A bounty hunter. An alley. A giant prop dart used as a weapon. An RC helicopter exploding into cardboard. The Dirt Bikin' Dickheads legacy continues.Invasion Force (1990) (Tubi) — Also David A. Prior. Deadly Prey but lighter, less rapey, and set around a film crew being overrun by terrorists in a jungle. The MacGuffin they use to defeat the bad guys is profoundly stupid and we love it.Some of the above links are affiliate links — if you purchase through them we get a small kickback, and it's the best way to support the show.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week.

The Crow (1994) Review is finally here, and the Born to Watch boys are diving headfirst into one of the most iconic cult films of the 1990s. Directed by Australian filmmaker Alex Proyas and forever linked to the tragic death of Brandon Lee during production, The Crow has become far more than just another comic book adaptation. It's a film surrounded by myth, emotion and an unforgettable soundtrack, but does the movie itself still deserve its legendary reputation?Whitey is joined by Gow, Damo and returning fan favourite Adam "Strangles" Strang as they revisit the dark, rain-soaked streets of Detroit to find out whether Eric Draven's tale of love, revenge and redemption still flies more than three decades later.From the opening scene, the boys tackle the elephant in the room. Has The Crow become more famous because of Brandon Lee's tragic passing than because of the movie itself? It's a question that sparks one of the episode's biggest debates as they separate the film from the legend surrounding it.There is no denying the visual impact. Alex Proyas creates one of cinema's most distinctive gothic worlds, drenched in perpetual darkness, flickering fire and endless rain. Whitey argues it could be one of the best-looking films of the decade, while the panel discusses whether the relentless black colour palette enhances the atmosphere or simply makes it impossible to see what's happening half the time.Brandon Lee delivers a performance filled with charisma, physicality and vulnerability as Eric Draven, a murdered musician brought back from the dead by a mysterious crow to seek revenge on the gang responsible for killing him and his fiancée. Along the way, the boys question the film's mythology, wonder why so little is explained about the supernatural rules and debate whether audiences are expected to simply accept everything without asking questions.The laughs continue as the conversation drifts into grandad slippers, Skippy, Video Ezy memories, terrible engagement rings, goth fashion, VHS collections and one of Damo's most detailed Snorbs Reports yet. As always, no tangent is off limits.The cast also comes under the microscope. Michael Wincott's gloriously over-the-top Top Dollar, Ernie Hudson's compassionate Sergeant Albrecht and the unforgettable David Patrick Kelly all receive plenty of love, while the panel reflects on Brandon Lee's short but promising career and imagines what Hollywood might have looked like had tragedy never struck.As the discussion unfolds, comparisons are made to other revenge classics, including John Wick, The Warriors and Darkman, while Whitey questions whether the film spends enough time developing its central love story for audiences to truly care about Eric's mission.The boys also explore the incredible year that was 1994, discussing how The Crow stacked up against cinematic heavyweights like Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, The Shawshank Redemption, Speed and The Lion King. It's another reminder of just how stacked one of Hollywood's greatest years really was.Of course, it wouldn't be Born to Watch without the regular favourites. IMDb ratings, Rotten Tomatoes scores, box office numbers, Question Time, the Snorbs Report, hilarious listener interaction and plenty of brutal honesty all feature as the team works towards the all-important final verdict.So, does The Crow still deserve its place among the greatest cult movies ever made? Has its reputation been elevated by tragedy, or is it genuinely one of the defining films of the 1990s? Join Whitey, Gow, Damo and Strangles as they break down every crow, every quote and every questionable fashion choice in another laugh-out-loud episode of Born to Watch.Join the F WitsIf you love movies, nostalgia and four mates who aren't afraid to call out the good, the bad and the downright ridiculous, make sure you subscribe to Born to Watch wherever you get your podcasts. Follow us on social media, join the conversation, and let us know whether The Crow deserves its cult-classic status or if the legend has outgrown the film itself.#BornToWatch #TheCrow1994 #BrandonLee #AlexProyas #MovieReview #CultClassic #MoviePodcast #90sMovies #FilmReview #GothicCinema

This week the Bad Dads ride across South America with The Motorcycle Diaries, Walter Salles's 2004 drama starring Gael García Bernal as young Ernesto Guevara and Rodrigo de la Serna as Alberto Granado.Before the main feature, the Dads count down their favourite movie motorcycles, from Arnie's shotgun-reloading Harley in Terminator 2 to Tom Cruise going full Cruise in Top Gun and Mission: Impossible, the Easy Rider chopper, Indy's sidecar, Tron's light cycles, Dumb and Dumber's scooter, John Wick's katana bike fight, Fonzie's Knucklehead and Dan's beloved World's Fastest Indian.What We CoveredTop 5 Motorcycles: a surprisingly rich category covering choppers, scooters, sidecars, sci-fi bikes, stunt riding and Tom Cruise's apparent allergy to helmets.La Poderosa: the battered Norton 500 that carries Ernesto and Alberto until it absolutely cannot, giving the film its comic engine and its road-movie shape.Memory vs rewatch: Sidey remembers seeing the film at the cinema and discovers he had misremembered the pair as having one bike each.Ernesto and Alberto: the Dads enjoy the friendship, the teasing, the appetite for adventure, and Alberto's role as a funny, earthy foil to Ernesto's more serious awakening.A journey through inequality: miners, indigenous communities, poverty, illness and exploitation gradually turn the trip from lads' adventure into political education.The leper colony: the San Pablo section becomes the emotional centre of the film, especially Ernesto's refusal to accept easy divisions between people.Che without the T-shirt: the group discuss how the film shows the conditions that could radicalise someone without reducing Guevara to a poster, slogan or merch logo.Show, don't tell politics: Sidey praises the film for making its points quietly; Reegs notes the documentary-like authenticity; Cris reflects on education, knowledge and the ability to imagine different power structures.Travel as transformation: Dan highlights the idea that any journey like this, at that age and through those conditions, would inevitably change you.Final images: the airport farewell, the real Alberto, the closing text and the real photographs give the film a wistful, reflective ending.Key Quotes / Moments“I thought they had a motorcycle each.”“I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle.”“Top five motorcycles. I'm amazed that we've not done this before.”“He's not the same me anymore.”“It doesn't ram his ideology down your throat.”“A strong recommend all round.”VerdictA strong recommend from the Dads. The Motorcycle Diaries is praised as warm, funny, beautiful and quietly powerful — a road movie about friendship, privilege, poverty and the moment a person starts to see the world differently.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.Everything old is new again, especially at this week's box office. The Wayans Brothers' nostalgia-driven sequel Scary Movie opened to a franchise best of $55 million. Unfortunately for Masters of the Universe, the 80s-tv show inspired live action adaptation barely scraped more than $29 million - a true bust for a film that cost more than $170 million to make. Horror darlings Obsession and Backrooms are still ruling the roost at theaters, both having crossed over the $200 million threshold this past weekend.Here's the news you didn't know you wanted, Hugh Jackman is set to star in a Ridley Scott-directed adaptation of the truly classic novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. Adolescence writer Jack Thorne will pen the script that stars Jackman as the pirate Long John Silver himself. The original novel was published in 1883 and has been adapted many times.The project is ready to be bid on by all studios. Netflix has announced an official title and revealed a logo for an upcoming Ghostbusters animated series which will officially be titled Ghostbusters: Nightshift. The series is expected to debut sometime in 2027. The upcoming John Wick spin off series currently titled Caine has added Bill Nighy, Dacre Montgomery, and Mason Thames to the cast.

In this episode of Things Police See, host Steve Gould sits down with retired NYPD veteran George Sichler for an unforgettable look into the world of elite law enforcement special operations. Serving 20 years with the nation's largest police force, George transitioned from the intense "meat grinder" patrol blocks of NYC to the high-stakes NYPD Harbor and Scuba teams. George shares incredible firsthand accounts of what it's like to drop from helicopters into pitch-black waters, executive life-or-death maritime rescues miles offshore, and navigate zero-visibility "black water" recovery missions. He also reveals a fascinating look at his post-career opportunities, including his time in Hollywood training Keanu Reeves for John Wick (and the true story behind the famous "Wick flick"). From surviving the chaos of New York City patrol to his current role in emergency preparedness with Mira Safety, George's insights offer masterclass advice on career longevity, the power of professional networking, and never-ending training.
