This week's pick comes from JAC, who takes us back to 1989 for Best of the Best, directed by Robert Radler and developed from a story by Phillip Rhee and Paul Levine. Made for an estimated $5 million, the film assembled an impressively serious cast for a martial arts tournament movie, including Eric Roberts, Phillip Rhee, James Earl Jones, Sally Kirkland, Chris Penn and Louise Fletcher. Production used locations in both the United States and South Korea, although some of the supposedly Korean tournament action was actually shot at the Olympic Stadium in Los Angeles.Released in the US on 10 November 1989, Best of the Best wasn't exactly a box-office champion, taking around $1.7 million domestically against that estimated $5 million budget. Critics weren't especially kind either, but the film found a much more appreciative audience on home video, where its mixture of martial arts, training montages, big emotions and unashamed late-'80s sincerity helped turn it into a cult favourite. It also proved resilient enough to launch three sequels and a franchise that continued throughout the 1990s.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISFive men have been chosen to represent the United States against the most feared martial arts team in the world.But before they can defeat Korea... they'll have to survive each other. Alex Grady is fighting through injury and responsibility. Tommy Lee is carrying the weight of the past. Travis Brickley appears to be carrying mainly anger and an urgent need to punch somebody.Under the relentless eye of Coach Frank Couzo, five individuals must somehow become one team. Because when pride, revenge and national honour collide in the ring, being good isn't enough.You have to be... the Best of the Best.FUN FACTSPhillip Rhee and Simon Rhee, who play opposing fighters Tommy Lee and Dae Han, are brothers in real life. Nothing says family bonding quite like repeatedly kicking each other in the head.Phillip Rhee isn't merely the star of the film — he also came up with the original story alongside Paul Levine.When Tommy is first shown teaching children in his dojo, the terminology and techniques are actually Taekwondo, despite the film regularly describing the competition as karate.Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell has named Best of the Best as his favourite martial arts movie.Alex Grady's son Walter was named after Eric Roberts' real-life father, Walter Grady Roberts.Kane Hodder — best known as Jason Voorhees in several Friday the 13th films — appears as Burt in the bar sequence and returned in different roles for Best of the Best 2 and Best of the Best 3.The film was the only entry in the original four-film series to receive a PG-13 rating in the US. All three sequels were rated R.There's a spelling mistake in Alex's National Team acceptance letter: "Congratulations" is written as "congradulations." Apparently proofreading wasn't part of the selection process.Phillip Rhee returned as Tommy Lee in the subsequent Best of the Best sequels, eventually becoming the central figure of the franchise.SUPPORT THE SHOWIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.And if you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

En este nuevo episodio de Planeta Terror Podcast les comparto mi experiencia en el Montreal Comiccon 2026, donde tuve la oportunidad de ver de cerca a dos auténticas leyendas del horror: Robert Englund, el icónico Freddy Krueger, y Kane Hodder, uno de los Jason Voorhees más queridos por los fans. Además, les traigo dos recomendaciones de horror que no se pueden perder:
"Be careful what you wish for..."This week, we are diving deep into the ancient, ruby-encrusted world of Wishmaster (1997)! While critics might have slept on it back in the day, the You Run Podcast crew is planting our flag: this movie is an absolute, criminally underrated 90s horror classic.Directed by special effects legend Robert Kurtzman and executive produced by Wes Craven, Wishmaster delivers the ultimate playground of twisted logic and gruesome, practical VFX. We break down Andrew Divoff's brilliantly sinister performance as the Djinn, that jaw-dropping statue-coming-to-life party scene, and the incredible parade of horror cameo royalty (Robert Englund, Kane Hodder, and Tony Todd, just to name a few!).Special Guest Alert!

Clerks III (2022)Director: Kevin SmithCast: Brian O'Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Jason Mewes, Kevin SmithKevin Smith had a heart attack, rewrote his legacy, and somehow made a movie that retroactively makes us like his older films less. This week on Dewey Pod Monster, we close out "April and the Threequel" by finally confronting the most threatened episode in show history: Clerks III. We've been dreading this one for four years. It was worse than we remembered.In this episode, we discuss:The Nostalgia Cash-In That Went Too Far — Clerks III is essentially Kevin Smith remaking his own movie while reselling a heart attack story you've already heard on his podcast and live tour. We've paid for this content before.Comedy That Forgot to Be Funny — The film swings for emotional drama without earning it, leaving beloved characters stranded in a tone that doesn't fit them. It's neither funny enough to work as a comedy nor written well enough to land as a drama.The Rosario Dawson Problem — She was one of the best things about Clerks II, and here she's reduced to a ghost who tells her grieving husband she's sleeping with celebrities in heaven. It's a baffling choice that retroactively damages the previous film's ending.Who the Hell Is This Movie For? — Too recycled for longtime fans and too niche for newcomers, Clerks III only seems to work if you watched it live with Kevin Smith in the room. At home on your couch, it just doesn't work.We Also Talked About:WrestleMania 42 (ESPN) (2026) — Both hosts tuned in out of habit and left empty. Over-commercialization, ads during wrestler entrances, a CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns main event that nobody asked for, and a streaming situation so fragmented neither host could even find where to watch it.Louis Theroux Documentaries (Dailymotion) — Sean went deep into Theroux's hour-long doc series including Extreme Love (dementia and caregiving), a trans kids episode, and Heroin Town USA — a gutting look at opiate addiction in a small Virginia town from the mid-2010s.Cop Game (Tubi) (1988) — Directed by Bruno Mattei under the alias Bob Hunter, this Filipino-shot Vietnam War action film stars Brent Huff and features miniature toy cars in chase scenes, two songs on a loop, and an ending so abrupt it barely qualifies as one. Sean watched it. He has regrets. He's still going to watch more Bruno Mattei films.Hellmare Trailer (Youtube)— John got an early look at this upcoming horror film from local filmmaker Victor Gabriel (of Blood Gorge and Cruel), and he's genuinely excited. Meta horror elements, great visuals, real craft on display. A small premiere is coming — watch this space.Movie Theater Massacre (Tubi) (2023) — Shot at the historic Redford Theater in Redford, Michigan, this COVID-era local slasher features a butter knife as a murder weapon and a Linnea Quigley cameo. It's not great. It exists.Scanner Cop 2 (Youtube) (1995)— John watched it. His dog was audibly disturbed by the psychic screaming noises. Kane Hodder is in it. Robert Forster is in it and deserved better. The highlight is a villain who threatens to "kill you so bad."New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week. We're proud members of the YouRun Podcast Network.
This week on Friday Night Frightfest, we are hitting the "lucky number seven" of two of the greatest slasher sagas in history! We are comparing two of the most daring entries in their respective franchises: the telekinetic showdown Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) and the groundbreaking meta-masterpiece Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994). It's a clash between the ultimate supernatural slasher and the movie that dared to break the fourth wall before "meta" was a household word. Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) Directed by John Carl Buechler, The New Blood is often cited by fans as the "Jason vs. Carrie" installment. This is the monumental debut of Kane Hodder as Jason Voorhees, bringing a newfound physical intensity and rage to the role that defined the character for the next decade. The story follows Tina Shepard, a girl with telekinetic powers who accidentally resurrects Jason from the bottom of Crystal Lake while trying to bring back her deceased father. With a massive psychic showdown and some of the franchise's most brutal practical kills—including the iconic sleeping bag moment—this entry turned Jason into a force of nature that literally required a supernatural match-up to stop. Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) Directed by Wes Craven himself, New Nightmare took the franchise to an entirely new dimension. Abandoning the continuity of the previous films, this entry takes place in the "real world," where actress Heather Langenkamp (playing herself) is stalked by a darker, more terrifying entity that has taken the form of Freddy Krueger. As Freddy begins to bleed into reality, terrorizing the cast and crew of the Nightmare films, the movie deconstructs the entire slasher genre. It's a brilliant, psychological horror film that explores the burden of fame, the danger of archetypes, and what happens when the monster you created decides to come for its creator. Join us as we analyze how these seventh installments reinvented their monsters. We'll discuss the visceral, heavy-metal spectacle of Kane Hodder's first outing as Jason versus the high-concept, cerebral terror of Wes Craven's meta-commentary. Spoilers start around 7:21.
We're back after some technical difficulties. And we may have missed Friday the 13th by a few days, but we were determined to get this episode out to you. The New Blood is an entry in the F13 franchise that has always been very polarizing, especially for boasting some of the greatest FX that never were seen, thanks to extensive cuts by the studio. Anyway, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the film, so join us at the end of the episode in voting for which one was the most deserving to die. If you would like to join our livestream recordings for The Cherry Picker, we would be thrilled to have you with us.

Happy Friday the 13th! The first of three Friday the 13ths in 2026, to be exact. And Scotty is joined once again by Stanley of The Gory Gays podcast to talk about the seventh installment in the series, "Friday the 13th, Part VII: The New Blood." They discuss John Carl Buechler's entrance into the Friday the 13th series, as well as Kane Hodder's first outing as Jason Voorhees. They discuss the idea of having a telekinetic final girl going head to head with Jason. And finally, they talk about what's coming next in this series of movies.Two Corrections: In this episode, Stanley mentions that John Carl Buechler directed "Dolls", when he meant to say "Troll", which was released in the same year. Scotty also states that Russell is killed by Jason with a machete after Stanley says it was an axe. Stanley was correct. It was indeed an axe."Friday the 13th, Part VII: The New Blood" centers around Tina, a girl with telekinetic abilities. She's brought to a remote cabin next to Crystal Lake to try to help her work with her abilities, but in an emotional moment, she ends up resurrecting Jason Voorhees and releasing him from the bottom of Crystal Lake.Feel free to send us a message!

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema's biggest box office failures and decide whether they deserve a second chance. We are celebrating five years of discussing cinematic flops.Strap in, horror hounds and sci-fi fanatics, because this week on Not A Bomb, Troy and Brad are trading Camp Crystal Lake for the cold vacuum of space. That's right—our Spooktacular series takes a zero-gravity detour into the year 2455 with the tenth installment of the Friday the 13th franchise: Jason X. And if you thought Jason couldn't get any deadlier, wait until you see him with a chrome makeover and nanotech upgrades.Troy and Brad dive deep into the film's gloriously campy premise, dissecting everything from the questionable science to the surprisingly inventive death scenes. Yes, we're talking about that liquid nitrogen face smash. And let's not forget the holodeck sequence that lovingly parodies Jason's roots—because nothing says nostalgia like sleeping bag fatalities. So whether you're a die-hard Friday the 13th fan or just here for the popcorn and space carnage, this episode of Not A Bomb is your ticket to the final frontier of slasher absurdity.

Once again it is Friday the 13th so, of course, we have a Friday the 13th movie review! Part VII: The New Blood (1988) features the first appearance of Kane Hodder as Jason Vorhees who also sets a filming record in this movie for the longest legit stunt fire scene up to that date. There is a new cast of victims for Jason to prey upon, but the same tired formula continues in this very predictable movie leading to future changes. Did you know this movie was supposed to be Carrie verses Jason? It was also supposed to be Freddy verses Jason too but that was pushed down the road a few years. Let's talk about it.

This week we're making dreams come true with 1997's throwback creature feature WISHMASTER. Featuring a who's who of horror both in front and behind the camera, the birth of the Djinn makes for a fun romp in the vein of not only 80s splatter horror, but also the classic Universal Monsters of yore. With FX from KNB and appearances from Robert Englund, Tony Todd, Kane Hodder, Reggie Bannister, Ted Raimi, the voice of Angus Scrimm along with an executive production credit by Wes Craven, this is a Dream Team of creatives for a B-movie. Mike, Brian and Devaughn are joined by guest John Seavey of the Half Priced Horror podcast but be careful what you wish for, because dreams can turn to nightmares pretty quick. Also, what's with all the smoking?
