Gene Hackman left us in shocking and tragic circumstances on February 18, 2025. With his signature intensity, he may be one of the least stony actors of all time, but he was one of the best. To pay tribute to him we have his trippiest movie this side of CISCO PIKE (1971) with the quick-cut, dolly-shot, bullet-hole-cam madness of Sam Raimi's THE QUICK AND THE DEAD (1995). In this tribute to Sergio Leone's ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (1968), Gene Hackman delivers one of his most villainous performances as old west tyrant John Herod, who draws every shootist to his desert town for an annual gunfighting competition where the contestants duel to the death. Joining us to talk about Raimi's modern spaghetti western is actor LENNIE LOFTIN, who plays the grizzled townie Foy and gets to toss around an up-and-coming Russell Crowe in the movie. THE QUICK AND THE DEAD also stars Sharon Stone in the gender-swapped Man-with-No-Name role, Crowe in his first U.S. picture, and then rising star Leonardo DiCaprio as the cocky kid who is pretty good with a six-shooter. Plus Lance Henriksen, Keith David, Pat Hingle, Raynor Schiene, Roberts Blossom, and the great Woody Strode in his final film. Just about everybody's in this one and we are so lucky to have Loftin here to talk about this amazing film. Also joining host Bob Calhoun in her OMFYS debut, Rosemary Picado. Now you have heard her haunting vocals in the "O Nosferatu" carol in our NOSFERATU CHRISTMAS episode, but this is her first time as a panelist. She's a QUICK AND THE DEAD expert and fanatic, so we couldn't do this episode without her. Cory, Greg, and Philena are on assignment but they'll be back for The PhilenApocalypse III: Drag Story Time where Philena returns to torture the olds with TO WONG FOO, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

Kulap Vilaysack (Add To Cart) joins Jason, June and Paul to break down Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 starring Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. The four discuss how the movie is mostly about Mary Jane's failed Broadway career, all the bad CGI, Peter Parker basically becoming Austin Powers, and how there are simply too many villains.

In this re-edit, we do a primary focus on Sam Raimi's two key yet criminally undervalued character studies: 1998's A SIMPLE PLAN and 2000's THE GIFT.   How does Raimi go about adding his fantasy/terror style to the latter while encompassing a rich noir ensemble in the initial hit film?   We also detail his signature styles, his on-screen passion for being unpredictable & other uncanny stuff that only he seems able to pull off!                     MAIN LINKS:  LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/JURSPodcast Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/JackedUpReviewShow/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2452329545040913 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   Discord:  https://discord.com/channels/796154005914779678/796154006358851586         #MovieReview #FilmTwitter #PodFamily #PodcastersOfInstagram #Movies #Film #Cinema #Music #Reviews #Retrospect #Podcasts #MutantFam #MutantFamily #actionmystery #bmovies #scifihorror #truecrime #historydramas #warmovies #podcastcollabs #hottakes #edgy #cultmovies #nsfw #HorrorFam #badass

Francis Galluppi is the writer/director of The Last Stop in Yuma County (2024). After years of touring in various punk bands and an accident that led to a broken wrist, Francis decided it was time for a career shift. During a six month healing process, he picked up his camera and began shooting videos around the house with his wife. Almost immediately, he fell in love with the creative process and started to gather his friends to make his first short film, High Desert Hell (2019). Utilizing locations from local sources and keeping budget costs to a minimum, he completed his film for around $1,000. After this first successful outing that was on a learn-as-you-go basis and with a new script penned, Francis packed his gear and headed to Oregon to shoot his second short, The Gemini Project (2020). While neither of the shorts gathered major industry attention, they certainly sparked some interest. After a lengthy process of optioning and failing to gather necessary funds, a house was sold in favor of the budget for The Last Stop in Yuma County (2024). Before long, a stacked cast of genre-film crowd favorites were attached to the project including Jim Cummings (Thunder Road, The Wolf of Snow Hollow), Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, From Beyond), Alex Essoe (Starry Eyes, Doctor Sleep), Sam Huntington (Detroit Rock City, Not Another Teen Movie), Jocelin Donahue (The House of the Devil, Insidious: Chapter 2) and Richard Brake (Mandy, Batman Begins). The film premiered to a packed audience at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas and received rave reviews from moviegoers. Sam Raimi was so impressed with the film that he hand selected Francis to direct the latter of two upcoming Evil Dead installments. Aside from all the film work, he has also shot a handful of music videos for indie rock band, Mt. Joy including "Strangers", "Bathroom Light" and "Evergreen". He's also an avid collector of physical media and screen-used movie props including a piece of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) house.  Stay tuned for many exciting updates on his Evil Dead installment and pick up The Last Stop in Yuma County (2024), available on blu ray and streaming everywhere now!  If you enjoy the episode, be sure to slap the show with a 5-star rating wherever you're listening.  #KellensPettyTalkShow #TheLastStopinYumaCounty #FrancisGalluppi #EvilDead #RichardBrake

The Quick Draw Competition is on! This is the only way to seek sanctioned justice, make a lot of cash and/or is a way to make a name for yourself. In this town, everyone's got a story, and everyone's got a reason. It's all kind of a crappy town that nobody really wants to live in. Sam Raimi directs this gunslinger's paradise. There is an entire cast worthy of checking out here. Ellen (Sharon Stone), Cort (Russell Crowe), Kid (Leonardo DiCaprio), Sgt. Cantrell (Keith David), Ace (Lance Henriksen), etc… make sure they're all handy with the steel. Overseeing and dominating the competition is Herod (Gene Hackman), a villain with an interesting sense of rivalry and integrity. RTS rustles up a drink or two at the saloon. Ask for Horace (Pat Hingle). La-Mar and Collin bet on all the right brackets – they're on a money train! All aboard! If you've got the grit, see this through. 

After the meteoric success of Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, director Sam Raimi was poised to deliver another knockout with the franchise's 3rd entry. Sadly, despite incredible success at the box office, Spider-Man 3 was met with a venomous reception from critics and fans, and the series was rebooted a few years later. Join Sebastian and Jennifer as they put their black suits and guyliner on and reappraise this much maligned Spider-threequel.

This week, Leo and Steven sit down to watch demons slap the shit out of people in Drag Me To Hell! They talk about the good old days when psychics could afford a house, Romanian stereotypes, strong characterization and visual storytelling, whether or not denying a loan means you deserve to burn in hell forever, five star blow jobs, clever fight sequences and what happens when Sam Raimi makes a movie that has the fun of Evil Dead without making an Evil Dead film.Watch the trailer here - Drag Me To Hell Like the show?

It's time for the Binge Buddies to hop over to the next entry in the super groovy Evil Dead Franchise and return to our pal Ash...vs Evil Dead. The gang covers the first two episodes of the Starz series.

Your Stupid Minds sifts through some of Chris's $4 DVD acquisitions from Half Price Books and these things called "video stores" where our ancient ancestors used to purchase their entertainment wares. We start with the 1995 sci-fi direct-to-video low budget epic Galaxis (or Terminal Force), which some critic (we'll never know who) described as "Star Wars meets The Terminator." Starring Brigitte Nielsen, Richard Moll, Fred Asparagus (lol), Alan Fudge (lol), Sam Raimi for some reason, and professional Diablo III gold farmer Arthur Mesa. In a far off space battle that is in no way like the opening of Star Wars, Lord Tarkin (Craig Fairbrass) battles it out with evil space wizard Kyla (Moll). When Tarkin is betrayed by his sniveling wiener underling (Raimi) Kyla steals their magic crystal (which may be called Galaxis, the title is never mentioned nor explained) that gives them power or something. Ladera (Nielsen) comes upon Tarkin, who reveals to her that there is a second crystal, which she can use to defend the Sintarian people, or Kyla could use to destroy the universe or something. Unfortunately, the crystal is on Earth. Doubly unfortunately, it's now in Los Angeles (but good for the filmmakers, who already happened to be there). The film switches abruptly from a Star Wars ripoff to a Terminator ripoff, when Ladera teams up with a rogue-like drunk named Jed Sanders (John H. Brennan). They do some Terminator stuff and Kyla shoots them with force lightening. Meanwhile corpulent gangster Victor (Asparagus) chases after Jed with various Wile E. Coyote instruments of death, and two hapless detectives (Roger Aaron Brown and Cindy Morgan) traipse around 90s LA sighing and shaking their heads at all the violence.

Welcome back to Film Haven Reviews!!! This week we are sadly finishing up our "Aspad Spookers" theme with the Sam Raimi ghost mystery The Gift (2000)! This movie did a great job of giving the small town, deep south aesthetic and there were plenty of good supernatural spooks to boot! I gave this film a 7/10 for being a fun mystery with lots of good characters and an A class cast list! I only wish the narrative was more focuses and the scares were more effective. For my full written review feel free to follow my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/film_haven_reviews/You can also go to find the video on my NEW youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/@filmhavenreviews

Baseball expert and major Yankees fan Producer Collin joins us for these two movies in which the Yankees are the bad guys - whoops!

They say that you can't improve on perfection.....well, at least two directors tried. On today's episode of Bodybag Podcast, we're going to see if two remakes can live up to the originals that they derive from. First up...Sam Raimi created a horror classic with Evil Dead. And Evil Dead Rise gave the franchise a much needed jolt of life. But sandwiched in between those two was a 2013 remake, directed by Fede Álvarez. Does it deliver the gore and dark humor of the original? After that, we have the Town that Dreaded Sundown. It's been over 30 years, can the townsfolk finally go out at night? More importantly, does Alfonso Gomez-Rejon give us a decent movie?

Send us a textGaius Boiling (Instagram / Letterboxd ) from the "Back to the Blockbuster," podcast DROPS IN for his choice ”Darkman."  (1990  d. Sam Raimi). Starring: Liam Neeson, Frances McDormand, and Larry Drake. It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's Liam Neeson as 'PRUUNNNNEEE TRACY' in this original Superhero flick from Raimi, the great and powerful. What are Darkman's "powers?" Is there a Face/Off with out a Darkman? How much was Neeson allowed to use improvisational comedy? And all that very intentional pink elephant stuff. We answer all these questions and more thanks to a generous grant from the NY film academy school and Flim Springfield. 4/15!**All episodes contain explicit language**Artwork - Ben McFaddenReview Review Intro/Outro Theme - Jamie Henwood"What Are We Watching" & "Whatcha been up to?"

This week the boomstick comes out as the Binge Buddies tackle Army of Darkness in their Evil Dead franchise retrospective.

Sam Raimi is usually very comfortable with dark humour, especially with mixing genre elements like slapstick comedy, horror and suspense. So, his movie Crimewave, which is about a dweeb dealing with a murder plot, bumbling hitmen and trying to save and woo the woman he fancies and also written by dark humour maestros the Coen … Continue reading "448: Crimewave [1985] Movie Discussion"

We've passed 500 episodes so we decide to do another round of "Does This Count As a Horror Movie?" Thanks to the popularity of Evil Dead 2, Sam Raimi was able to follow it up with this original Superhero film inspired by Universal Monsters and the radio drama The Shadow. Between obvious homages to Phantom of the Opera and Invisible Man and the evil being played by Larry Drake we feel pretty confident saying this counts! Learn more about your ad choices.

The strange and still not fully understood deaths of actor Gene Hackman and his wife of 30+ years Betsy Arakawa may unsettle us for awhile or for always. But Gene Hackman's contribution to cinema is undeniable. Fom 1967's Depression-era gangster movie Bonnie & Clyde through Wes Anderson's 2001 comedy The Royal Tenenbaums, Gene Hackman captivated audiences with his always truthful electric performances. Secret Movie Clubber Edwin Gomez and SMC founder.programmer Craig Hammill talk the Hackman filmography from The French Connection to Unforgiven. Edwin singles out 1973's Scarecrow and Craig highlights how Hackman was great even in underrated genre movies like Sam Raimi's 1995 western The Quick and the Dead. Simply put: Gene Hackman is one of the greatest actors movies have ever produced. 

Beaver Fever continues to hold sway over Legends Podcast as we visit the wintry woods of Northern Wisconsin for an ultra-indie throwback movie about an applejack brewer turned trapper who contends with the forces of nature. Directed by Mike Cheslik and starring Ryland Tews, the film draws inspiration from a myriad of sources, including the works of Abbott and Costello, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Looney Tunes, and the Three Stooges, as well as wilderness movies like The Revenant and survival role-playing video games, this black-and-white 2022 release has almost no dialogue and very little plot. Off a budget of only $150,000, it grossed over a million in limited screenings, scored a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, and has earned comparisons to the early films of Robert Rodriguez, David Lynch, Wes Anderson, Sam Raimi, and Peter Jackson.

AKAPAD The Film Buff dives back into the Hellboy fray with his take on the character's latest cinematic outing, Hellboy: The Crooked Man (2024). This $20 million gem looks and feels like it was torn straight from the comic page, drenched in gritty folk-horror vibes. But here's the head-scratcher: despite all its strengths, this flick got the cold shoulder from every tier of fan you'd expect to champion it. Time to dissect why the faithful adaptation, killer practical effects, and Jack Kesy's brooding Big Red failed to ignite the passion this movie deserved. Those who brought you Hellboy the Crooked Man Cast Jack Kesy - Hellboy Jefferson White - Tom Ferrell Adeline Rudolph - Bobbie Jo Song Leah McNamara - Effie Kolb Joseph Marcell - Reverend Watts Hannah Margetson - Cora Fisher Martin Bassindale - The Crooked Man Nathan Cooper - Farmhand Carola Colombo - Old Woman Suzanne Bertish - Grammy Oaku Crew Director - Brian Taylor Writers - Brian Taylor, Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden Producers - Mike Richardson, Jeffrey Greenstein, Jonathan Yunger, Les Weldon, Rob Van Norden, Yariv Lerner, Sam Schulte Executive Producers - Avi Lerner, Trevor Short, Boaz Davidson, Tanner Mobley, Lati Grobman, Christa Campbell, Mike Mignola, Michael Mullner, Julia Muentefering, Victor Hadida, Cristina Serafini, Gareth West, Artur Galstian, Vahan Yepremyan Cinematographer - Ivan Vatsov Editor - Ryan Denmark Composer - Sven Faulconer Production Companies - Millennium Media, Dark Horse Entertainment, Nu Boyana Film Studios, Campbell Grobman Films Distributor - Ketchup Entertainment More about Hellboy The Crooked Man Alright, True Believers, let's dive into Hellboy: The Crooked Man (2024), the latest gritty reboot of our favorite cigar-chomping demon! This flick, helmed by Brian Taylor, drags Big Red (Jack Kesy) and rookie B.P.R.D. agent Bobbie Jo Song (Adeline Rudolph) into the eerie backwoods of 1950s Appalachia. They're up against a coven of witches and the sinister Crooked Man (Martin Bassindale), a devilish creep tied to Hellboy's past. Think folk horror meets paranormal detective vibes—less blockbuster bombast, more low-budget chills. Co-written by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, it's a faithful stab at his 2008 comic, with practical effects that'd make Sam Raimi nod approvingly. Box office? Well, brace yourselves, Wiz fans—this one didn't exactly set the world ablaze. Skipping U.S. theaters for a direct-to-VOD drop on October 8, 2024, it scraped together a measly $2 million internationally. With a rumored budget “way under $20 million,” it might've turned a profit via digital and streaming, but don't expect it to topple Hellboy II: The Golden Army's $160 million haul. A cult classic in the making? Maybe. A cash cow? Not a chance. Excelsior!

Though it's the Year of the Stitch-up, John Hammond has been building up a repertoire of picks for some time that would fit the bill! Previous picks include Samurai Cop, For Your Height Only, Hard Ticket to Hawaii, New York Ninja and Devil Fetus. So this week is totally on brand with the 1995 Japanese horror, Bloody Muscle Body Builder In Hell.Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell is a fascinating oddity in the realm of low-budget Japanese horror, with a production history almost as legendary as its over-the-top gore. Filmed in the mid-1990s by director Shinichi Fukazawa, who also starred as the film's musclebound protagonist, the movie was heavily inspired by Sam Raimi's Evil Dead. Fukazawa, an avid horror fan, took a DIY approach to filmmaking, handling multiple roles including directing, writing, editing, and even special effects. However, despite completing the initial shoot, the film languished in obscurity for years due to budgetary issues and technical limitations.It wasn't until nearly two decades later that Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell finally saw release, thanks to Fukazawa's painstaking efforts to edit and complete the film. The result is a gloriously campy, blood-drenched homage to splatter horror, packed with stop-motion effects, homemade prosthetics, and a relentless energy that belies its minuscule budget. Its long-delayed 2012 release—and later international cult status—proved that passion and dedication can sometimes trump production values, securing the film a place as Japan's answer to Evil Dead.If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryIn a world where the dead refuse to stay buried… one man must flex his way through a nightmare of blood, guts, and pure terror!

Spider-Man 3 is the ambitious but overstuffed conclusion to Sam Raimi's trilogy that struggles under the weight of too many villains and subplots. As the 15th entry in our “Marvel before the MCU” series, the film was a box office success but ultimately fell short of the high creative bar set by Spider-Man 2. ----more---- Thank you so much for listening!

La Órbita de Endor esta semana recupera al Hombre Araña en una de sus adaptaciones en imagen real que más recuerda a la época clásica del Lanzarredes de los cómics. SPIDER-MAN 2 de Sam Raimi de 2004 sigue teniendo vigencia y aguanta el paso del tiempo mucho mejor que bastante películas actuales. Con sus defectillos, la película se mantiene entre las mejores películas de superhéroes en general y posiblemente la mejor película de Spider-Man en particular. Aunque, por supuesto, pueda ser debatible. Rafa Pajis, Antonio Monfort, Jaime Angulo, Christian Presa y Antonio Runa se encargarán de salvar Nueva York de pulpos locos.

Army of Darkness, the finale of Sam Raimi's iconic Evil Dead series, is truly a cult classic. A minor departure from the series more comedic/horror roots, it is a film that revels in its absurdity, taking the protagonist, Ash, back through time to the 14th century. Though it is goofier, it is no less fun than the first two. And its one-liners—frequent throughout—remain infinitely quotable to this day. There is a reason Ash and the hordes of undead he's dispatched over the years with prejudice have continued to captivate the hearts and minds of fans. Good ... bad ... we're the guys with the mics! Now, sit back, wash down tiny Ash with a Dragon Stout Fire, and listen up, you primitive screw heads! The Thunderous Wizard, Chumpzilla, and Bling Blake are blasting deadites with our boomsticks!
