Today on the 5: Over the weekend I watched Black Cat, a 1991 action film that started out as an attempt to follow up La Femme Nikita. While it still feels very much like a remake of the 1990 French film, it works very well as a Hong Kong flavored version of that story.

This week, we're joined by a very special guest: Nikita! Jackie handpicked her to co-host this episode because Nikita is funny, despite not being a man. We read and discussed the fourth of Charles Dickens' five Christmas Books so you don't have to, and you can go ahead and thank us for that. Rachel's mom tells her she doesn't deserve any presents. Jackie discovers God is real. Nikita informs her husband that under no circumstances is he to continue living after her death. Topics include: La Femme Nikita, Lucy Liu/Maggie Q, Santa Claus stories, leprechaun disappointment, the worst poop of all time, Da Bean Zone, wifi stories, breakup pet plans, stinkbugs, true sisterly love, interchangeable women, a literal boatload of money, Death Note, the most perfect creature who ever breathed (according to Dickens), arms that don't belong to you, the hot hot elf from The Santa Claus, a gummy mistake, Shake Shack, a 23-year old's eyeballs, and absolutely no ghosts whatsoever. 0:00:00 - 0:28:28 : stories of parental deception re: Santa 0:28:29 - 1:00:45 : story summary1:00:46 - 1:19:13 : story discussion/analysis/thoughts1:19:21 - end : author drama! romance tropes! and a truly deranged story about finding god in an airport with a little help from drugs. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Once again, we're arrived at the season finale. Will Ilan take his second crown, or will Keegan or Abhi upset the returning champion? To answer that, we'll need to start at the beginning, so it makes sense that we start round one with a game all about TV and movie prequels, put through the lens of a certain iconic butler. Then, it's the big game in round two where we'll identify not only some TV theme songs, but the other works of the iconic musicians responsible for them. And course, a lightning round!

Rutger Hauer, Vincent D'Onofrio (looking fine as hell), Delroy Lindo, Sean Connery, that pale dude from Queen of the Damned, The Invisible Man, La Femme Nikita, Mr. Hyde's outsized tophat, Stephen Norrington's ego, Captain Nemo's Indian Capoeira skills and a surprising amount of Cum. Literally the whole shebang. We get the dog skull rolling with a chat about a game that makes no sense but nevertheless captivates the endtimes in The Blood of Heroes aka Salute of the Jugger (1989). Then we dive headlong into Victorian era, filigree ensconced hatred with Sean Connery and Stephen Norrington's mutual retirement-driven, early 2000s cash toilet, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) Feedback: cultofmuscle@gmail.com Facebook: facebook.com/groups/cultofmuscle Merch: redbubble.com/people/cultofmuscle/shop

Hollywood has always had an originality problem: they'd always rather steal or repackage a successful foreign film than come up with something new - and the list of these junky remakes is a depressingly long one, from the slick genius of Luc Besson's La Femme Nikita being turned into the tapioca Point of No Return, or Spike Lee's ill-advised reimagining of Park Chan-wook's legendary Oldboy. But tonight's double feature suffers no such generational loss - join us as MG takes on the epic Indonesian actioner The Raid, and its brilliant sci-fi rehash: Karl Urban's Dredd!

The Nikita saga is detailed with Blast from Our Past podcast network head honcho and voice-over artist Zak Shaffer! Why was the original Luc Besson film still one of his more overlooked films? Why did the original USA Network '90s show really break new ground with its edgy material and cool style? Why was the Maggie Q version a solid Taken/24 type escapade that led to her getting lead action film roles such as The Protege later on? Are we out of fun B-action espionage franchises to enjoy half the time these days? What's next for the future of addiction small-screen spy shows? And more reminiscing about damn brutal fun material strongly missing from today's crowd these days.     MAIN LINKS: LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/JURSPodcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/JackedUpReviewShow/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackedUpReview Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacked_up_podcast/ SHOW LINKS: YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCIyMawFPgvOpOUhKcQo4eQQ iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-jacked-up-review-show-59422651/ Podbean: https://jackedupreviewshow.podbean.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Eg8w0DNympD6SQXSj1X3M Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast/id1494236218 RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/the-jacked-up-review-show-We4VjE Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1494236218/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9hNDYyOTdjL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz Anchor: https://anchor.fm/s/a46297c/podcast/rss PocketCasts: https://pca.st/0ncd5qp4 CastBox: https://castbox.fm/channel/The-Jacked-Up-Review-Show-Podcast-id2591222

Our recent appearance on Jay Dyer's show, Jay's Analysis.

A graduate of the USC cinema program, he has worked in the motion picture and television business for over 20 years.He has worked as a writer on a number of TV series, most notably developing and writing the pilot for the hit USA network show, “La Femme Nikita” which ran for five years (1996-2001) and was the most successful series on USA up to that time. In the following years, Cyrus focused on docudrama and history. In 2001 he wrote and directed the highly acclaimed Paramount/Showtime feature presentation, “ The Day Reagan Was Shot.” To this day it is Showtime's highest-rated movie and is available on DVD. The film was executive produced by Oliver Stone and starred Richard Dreyfuss, who earned a SAG best actor nomination for his portrayal of Alexander Haig. It also received an EDDIE award as well as the Golden Satellite Award for Best Cable Motion Picture of 2001. The following year he reteamed with Showtime to write “ 10,000 Black Men Named George,” starring Andre Braugher. It brings to the screen the true story of activist A. Philip Randolph who led the famous Pullman strike of the 1930s. For both of the above films, Cyrus received the PEN Literary Award for best teleplay, becoming the only writer in the history of the PEN awards to win two years in a row in the same category. In 2005 Cyrus was recruited by Steven Spielberg to write an episode of the Dreamworks/TNT miniseries “Into the West,” which was nominated for sixteen Emmy awards and winner of three. He has also performed production rewrites for Paramount Pictures on such notable movies as “The Hunted” (2003, starring Tommy Lee Jones), “Beyond Borders” (2003, starring Angelina Jolie), and “Shooter” (2007, starring Mark Wahlberg). Cyrus became a national figure as the writer and producer of the acclaimed and controversial ABC docudrama, “ The Path to 9/11,” which aired on September 10th and 11th, 2006, to an audience of 28 million viewers. He became the focal point of a partisan political attack which cast him in the public arena appearing on CNN, FOX news, talk radio, and in print in the Wall Street Journal and other publications. The DVD release of that film has been suppressed to this day. Once again, Cyrus has taken on another controversial true story,  THE STONING OF SORAYA M., based on the book of the same title by French/Iranian author Freidoune Sahebjam. A dramatization of an actual stoning incident in Iran, Cyrus adapted the screenplay with his wife,  Betsy Giffen Nowrasteh. Although produced separately, this is their first collaboration.

Chris Columbus developed the film through his 1492 Pictures banner and helped get financing through Ocean Blue Entertainment. Focus Features/Universal acquired the US distribution rights in 2014.

You are in the right place! Your eyes do not deceive you! We're actually talking about spy romances this week and no Sarahs were harmed during the discussion, but that's probably because it was a discussion with one of her favorite people, the fantastic Nana Malone! We talk about Nana's immense career, about how she took matters into her own hands and started making the covers she wished to see in the world, about her Brown Nipple reading challenge, about her latest book, a Kobo original, The Spy in 3B, and about porny ferris wheels. Real ordinary stuff. We also get to the bottom of why Sarah doesn't like spy romances generally, but why she can't get enough of Mr. & Mrs. Smith retellings. Our next read along in some number of weeks (three? four?) is Kylie Scott's Lead, one of our longtime favorites. Get it at Amazon, Apple Books, B&N, Kobo, or Bookshop.org! Thank you, as always, for listening! Please follow us on your favorite podcasting app, and if you are up for leaving a rating or review there, we would be very grateful! Show NotesWelcome Nana Malone back to the pod, and if you want to hear more about the Brown Nipple Challenge, check out her Instagram. She is an amazing author and recently became her own cover model after failing to find good stock photos for her books.If you don't know how stock photography works, here's a brief primer on how they can be used to make book covers and teasers. The problems with finding stock photography that is truly diverse is a well-known problem. For most authors, custom photography is cost-prohibitive. Nana's favorite photographer is Wander Aguiar. If you want to hear more about romance covers and their history, Sarah was interviewed on an episode of the 99% Invisible podcast about covers this week. Head over and have a listen after you listen to this! Just in case you need a quick review, there are currently three paths in publishing: self-published, indie, and traditional. It's common to use “indie” and “self-published” interchangeably, which why Nana described an author as “their own business.” Strictly speaking, Indie means small, independent presses, such as Violet Gaze Press. And Trad, or traditional publishing, refers to the Big Five (Big Four?) New York publishing houses: Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster. A little about the history of Kobo and why it's worth supporting them. No one likes it when the Mary Sue character has no idea what's going on.

Partying til dawn with some of my favorite Hollywood Celebrities.

We're starting off our Luc Besson series with a film that fascinates us, even if it sometimes devolves into a cartoonish atmosphere. This week, we chat about Besson's 1990 film Nikita, or La Femme Nikita if you're so inclined. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we start off this series with this Pygmalion-like tale of a young woman trained to be a government assassin.We discuss what works and what doesn't in the performances, particularly focusing on Anne Parillaud's performance of the title character. We chat about Besson and what he brings to the table, for better or for worse. We talk about the nature of this French government assassin program and why it creates an interesting idea, though that is pretty ridiculous when you think about it too long. And we talk about the amazing visual style that Besson uses to tell this story, even if the script and the direction aren't always on par with it. He's a wild director and we have a wild romp in this, the first of our Luc Besson series. Listen in!
