POPULARITY
This week on Shoot the Hostage, Dan and Sarah brave the wasteland of cinema history to grapple with the undisputed heavy artillery of our big old floppy flop season, Tank Girl (1995). Be warned, as is tradition, we swear and spoil. Sarah chose this one and frankly, it feels like some kind of revenge after Battlefield Earth. Released in 1995 this film doesn't just qualify as a flop, it lives in the flop house and pays rent with lint and disappointment. It somehow made more than Empire Records and Police Academy 7, which, let's be honest, is our primary metric for success. Based on the very British, very anarchic comic book series and directed by Rachel Talalay, this 1990s comic book movie should have been a slam dunk, or at least a solid ground rule double. We get into the nitty-gritty of why this felt like such missed potential. Here's what you can expect from this week's episode: Discussions on Lori Petty as Tank Girl (aka Rebecca) and who else lobbied for the role The uncredited, sophisticated (yet visually questionable) work of Stan Winston Studios on the Rippers The surprisingly great soundtrack curated by Courtney Love Dream casting for a potential reboot Ramblings that connect this film to The Warriors, Scott Pilgrim... and, bizarrely, Roy Scheider in seaQuest DSV. Why this comic book movie adaptation ultimately crashed and burned at the box office If you're searching for podcasts about movie flops or maybe just a podcast reviewing box office bombs, retro comic book films, or trying to understand why a film featuring a kick-ass female lead and directed by Rachel Talalay failed so spectacularly, this is the episode for you. Or maybe you just need someone to talk about the fact they made a kangaroo penis for a movie? Look no further!

When it comes to supporters of the show, Tony Farina is the OG. And when it comes to stitch ups, the same could be said! Back when Chris and Dave were still finding their way with Comics In Motion, Tony found the podcast and suggested both Speed Racer and Tank Girl. And at the time, Chris believed these were the worst movies he'd ever seen. Fast forward to 2025, Tony has chosen a favourite of his. The much maligned, Hudson Hawk.Hudson Hawk was an infamously chaotic and overblown affair, marked by creative clashes, ballooning costs, and a shifting tone that left even the filmmakers unsure of what they were making. Conceived as a pet project for Bruce Willis, who co-wrote the story, the film was meant to be a stylish, fast-paced heist comedy with a quirky sense of humor. However, as production went on, the film became a strange hybrid of slapstick, action, and self-aware absurdity. Director Michael Lehmann, best known for Heathers, struggled to balance the various tones, while Willis—at the peak of his Hollywood power—reportedly had significant influence over creative decisions, leading to constant rewrites and improvisation on set.Adding to the mayhem, Hudson Hawk had a bloated budget of around $65 million, due in part to its globe-trotting locations, elaborate stunts, and extensive reshoots. The film was primarily shot in Italy, making use of grand European backdrops for its bizarre plot about an art heist intertwined with Leonardo da Vinci's inventions. Despite its high production values and an ensemble cast including Danny Aiello, Andie MacDowell, and Richard E. Grant, the film flopped spectacularly at the box office and was widely panned by critics. Over time, however, Hudson Hawk has developed a cult following, appreciated for its sheer audacity, oddball humor, and the sheer spectacle of witnessing Hollywood excess at its most baffling.If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesbackTrailer Guy Plot SummaryIn a world where stealing priceless artefacts is just another day at the office, legendary cat burglar Hudson Hawk is fresh out of prison and ready to go straight, until he's blackmailed into pulling off the heist of a lifetime. With his loyal partner Tommy Five-Tone by his side, Hawk must dodge ruthless criminals, corrupt CIA agents, and a deranged billionaire couple who want him to steal Leonardo da Vinci's secret alchemy machine. From the rooftops of Rome to high-speed chases and over-the-top action, Hudson Hawk sings, cracks wise, and fights for his life in a high-stakes adventure where the only thing more dangerous than the mission... is surviving it.thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback

Episode 123: Vickie Sampson – Dialogue, Detail, and the Art of Sound In this episode of The Filmumentaries Podcast, I speak with sound editor, dialogue and ADR supervisor, and filmmaker Vickie Sampson. Vickie's career began in the early 1970s, and she's since built up a mighty list of credits including Romancing the Stone, The River, Tank Girl, The Fifth Element, Ordinary People, and Return of the Jedi. She's also the daughter of the trailblazing Kay Rose – the first woman to win an Oscar for sound editing. We discuss:Growing up surrounded by film and soundHer hands-on experiences on shows like The Big Valley and The RiflemanThe vital but often misunderstood role of dialogue and ADR editingWhat makes a great production sound handover (and how so many indies get it wrong!)‘Temp love' and the challenges of directors getting attached to scratch tracksWorking with actors like Keanu Reeves, Meryl Streep and Sigourney WeaverHer time in London supervising ADR for Return of the Jedi – including a story about the reels being stolen from her carWhy clean dialogue is the bedrock of a good filmHer continued work as a director and teacherThis one's packed with stories, insights, and practical advice for anyone working in – or just obsessed with – film sound.

In this episode, we're diving headfirst into the chaotic, punk-fueled world of Tank Girl (1995)! Based on the cult comic series, this dystopian sci-fi action-comedy follows Lori Petty as the rebellious, tank-driving heroine taking on a corrupt megacorporation in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With wild visuals, a killer soundtrack, and a supporting cast that includes Naomi Watts, Ice-T as a mutant kangaroo, and Malcolm McDowell as the villainous Kesslee, Tank Girl is an anarchic ride like no other. We'll explore the film's production, its reception, and why it remains a beloved cult classic. Grab your water rations and buckle up—it's going to be a bumpy ride!Article About Tank GirlCLICK HERE----Intro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan BoyleShow E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.com----Follow Mark on InstagramFollow Release Date Rewind on Instagram and YoutubeFollow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Bluesky, and Letterboxd Hosted on Acast.

Så er det endnu engang blevet tid til at få poppet popcornene og finde jeres bedste biografsæder frem, fordi i denne uges udsendelse skal vi igen 30 år tilbage i tiden og kigge på fantastiske filmsange. Vi er i 1995, og det var (ligesom 1994) et glimrende år for både filmmusik og biograffilm. Vi skal bl.a. have fat i numre fra gode kunstnere som Coolio, Whitney Houston, U2, David Bowie, PJ Harvey, No Doubt og Tina Turner, og kigge nærmere på så forskellige film som f.eks. Batman Forever, Sidste Time, Heat, Tank Girl, Desperado, Se7en, Friday og Waiting To Exhale. Derudover giver vi legendariske Ole Michelsen ret i at ”film skal ses biograferne”, vi overvejer om man ville se op til John Malkovich i 1995, vi deler ud af vores kærlighed til Toy Story, vi får kniven får struben, vi snakker stripperfilm, vi forsøger at besvare hvad der skete med hende der spillede Nete i de første 2 film om Krummerne, Kim omdøber sig selv til 96 og så prøver vi at komme til bunds i Andys besættelse af den amerikanske tobaksindustri i Virginia, og hvad det har med et nummer fra en Disneyfilm at gøre. Playliste: Björk – Army of me Diana King – Shy guy Bryan Adams – Have you ever really loved a woman PJ Harvey – Down by the water Dr. Dre – Keep their heads ringin' U2 – Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me Seal – Kiss from a rose Vanessa Williams – Colors of the wind Søs Fenger – Sidste time Jill Sobule – Supermodel Coolio feat.

For some time now I've wanted to do a Women In Comics Feature on the podcast and it has finally arrived to celebrate Women's History Month. What better guest could I have on to hang out with me to kick things off than comics and television writer Josie Campbell. Josie has penned some of the most iconic cartoon characters ever: My Adventures With Superman, She-Ra Princesses Of Power, New Looney Toons, and now she's taking over the comics medium with the comics adaptation of My Adventures With Superman and Shazam with DC Comics and the GLAAD nominated series I Heart Skullcrusher from Boom Studios. This is a wide ranging chat touching on all three of those projects as well as taking the temperature of where the medium is at in terms of representing women, our shared crush on Lori Terry playing Tank Girl, her love of Superman, why duality and hope are so intrinsic to her writing style, and sharing a laugh or two at some of our childhood influences. You can find her online on most social media platform @cozyjamble or visit her website at https://cozyjamble.com.

In 2023, My Adventures with Superman debuted on Adult Swim, dazzling viewers with a fresh, anime-inspired take on the Superman mythos—while retaining the enduring qualities of the Man of Steel, and his friends and enemies!

Though he's feeling a bit down and out, a tip about a monster in the sewers sends Superman, Lois, and Jimmy into action! But what is this monster that can absorb anything it touches, and why is it here in Metropolis? And when a mysterious android is captured by a covert military group, Superman realizes he can't just bust through a government facility and take what he wants—this is a job for mild-mannered journalist Clark Kent! Written by the head writer of My Adventures with Superman, Josie Campbell, and drawn by Pablo M. Collar, this collection brings the hit show to comics for the first time!

Ep 203 di Sul Divano di Ale vi porto dove la sala non può arrivare. Difatti vi parlo del nuovo film di Takeshi Kitano che è tra Outrage e Glory to the Filmmaker! Il regista giapponese fa un film completamente anarchico e in tutta franchezza me ne sono innamorato. Vi propongo anche un CULTONE. Spazio a Tank Girl, film del 1995 adattamento dell'omonimo fumetto di Alan Martin e Jamie Hewlett. Cosa sarebbe? Avete presente Mad Max? Perfetto, metteteci dentro una follia punk anni 90 e il gioco è fatto!L'ultima recensione tratta però un film che è in sala. Torna l'MCU con Captain America: Brave New World. Il film non è coraggioso e non propone nemmeno un mondo così nuovo.In puntata c'è spazio anche per qualche chiacchiera varia sul mondo del cinema come ad esempio: che fine ha fatto James Bond e perché a Barbara Broccoli non vanno proprio giù quei birichini di Amazon?Link Utili:Patreon Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Do you have a big ego? Do you know someone who has? This Quackcast is about utilising egos for comic characters for comedic purposes, to humanise character, or to make villains more unlikeable and or funny. Big egos are a sign of poor self esteem, people inflate their egos to cope with feelings of inadequacy and inferiority. For examples of that we have a certain prominent politician and also a tech billionaire as perfect representations of every facet of that concept. :) Personally I LOVE a protagonist with a big, inflated ego, especially if it's also illustrated that it's undeserved, and often shown punctured. It's pretty uncommon for protagonists to have big egos though unfortunately because people see that as weakness in their character and status rather than making them more interesting. Big egos are far more common in villains, mostly because it's seen as a negative trait, but also because it's an easy way to show how weak and pathetic they are, they're also a goldmine for easy laughs. The latter is the reason that the characters with the biggest egos in fiction are often not the main villain but the villain's lieutenant. My favourite protagonists with big egos are Tank Girl, George Costanza from Seinfeld, Duckman (played by the same actor as George. Jason Alexander), Flashman from the books by George MacDonald Fraser, Space Dandy, Basil Faulty from Faulty Towers, Hyacinth Bucket from Keeping up Appearances, and Meg from the series Drifters. I'd love to name more but it's not a common trait, though you can point out a million villains with massive egos. In the Quackcast I examine Conan the Barbarian as a story about ego: Conan acquires a massive ego as a reaction to being kidnapped as a child and living as a slave, then being trained as a gladiator and lauded with praise and women. That only increases when he gets his freedom, joins his friends and becomes a successful thief. He's then tasked with rescuing a princess from a cult and returning her to her father. His ego is so big he eschews the help of his friends and tries to do it alone. He's captured by the villain, Thulsa Doom, the same man who killed his mother and enslaved him. Thulsa lectures him on the strength of ego and manipulation before crucifying Conan on a tree. As he dies, Conan's ego dies with him. His friends find his body and take him back, reviving him without ego. In then end Conan defeats Thulsa Doom, Thulsa expects his ego to dominate Conan and save himself but Conan kills him the same way Thulsa killed his mother, and does it totally without ego. As a last gesture he burns down Thulsa's temple and his cult disbands: the last two symbols of Thulsa Doom's over inflated ego. Do you agree with my take on Conan the Barbarian? Do you like characters to have a big ego? If so, what are your fave examples?

Main characters with main character syndrome? What is main character syndrome? Well the way we're dealing with it here it's normally a snide criticism you level and someone who seems to think the world revolves around them, like social media “influencers”, selfish self centred people, that sort of thing. Popular figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump are great examples: they imagine the world should bend to their whim, and normal rules don't apply, like a main character in a fictional story. The funny thing is that not many main characters think or act like that. Some do but they're the exceptions. Generally it's comic-relief side characters, villains, or antagonists who have main character syndrome. It's especially true for villains because behaving that way is easily seen as a negative and being selfish like that harms other characters in their world, being a great example of “evil”. Other characters typically notable for it include Queen bees in a highschool setting, also dominant “jocks”, and the love interests in harem anime- each of them think they're the main character, while the actual main character is a characterless blob. Main character syndrome isn't always a negative thing though! It can be fun or funny, or it can make you more invested in the world. Exceptions where main characters have MCS are the protagonists of noir detective stories. Every main character in Seinfeld had MCS, not initially but that's how the show developed. Cher in Clueless starts off that way but graduates out of it. In superhero comics MCS is definitely something you often see, I think Batman can have it depending on the writer, Deadpool is a good candidate… A fave example of mine is TankGirl, she has it 100% and it works in her favour, she moulds her world to her will. Do you have a fave example of a fictional character with Main Character Syndrome? Gunwallace was busy this week so we have a reissue of Gamma Blue Smoldering of Creel - Heavy rocking fire.

The 1990s! A time when Hollywood's brightest minds were trying to solve the impossible problem of how to make a whole movie from those comic book thingies. Nowadays, they're trying to work out how to stop doing that, but that hasn't decreased the charm of things like Rachel Talalay's Tank Girl, a post-apocalyptic slice of pop feminism in which Lori Petty's titular antihero fights a scenery-chewing Malcolm McDowell while also - and there is no polite way to say this - getting it on with mutant kangaroos. One of whom is Ice-T. It's fair to assume you won't be seeing this in Phase Whatever of Marvel, but plenty of people have sought it out since its legendarily unsuccessful initial release. On this episode, we're joined again by comics expert Andrew from Behold! podcast in order to properly assess the film's position in comic-movie history, talk about its quintessentially '90s soundtrack and tease out its connections to alt-rock icons like R.E.M., Devo and Bjork. Please note that our statement that Margot Robbie is usually well-cast was recorded before the Great Wuthering Heights Casting Disaster of 2024.

What was one significant inspiring piece of pop-culture that a massive influence over your creative endeavours? All of us have had many, many different influences over the years but that's certainly NOT what we're interested in here, what we're talking about is that one thing you can remember that had a huge effect on you, why, how, and when. For me, I picked the time I saw the Tank Girl movie. It was all the way back in the mid 1990s. The movie didn't have much promotion so I didn't see it in the cinema because I didn't even know it was being screened, I only remember some radio ads. It came out on video very quickly and that's how I saw it. I rented it out and I actually own that very video cassette now because I bought it when the shop went out of business years later. An Ex stole my DVD and I can't buy a digital copy online here But I digress… When I saw that movie it was the perfect critical mass of creative influence for me. The story wasn't very good and it bore little relation to the comic but it was full of so much 1990s alt culture that it's a perfect time capsule and exemplar of the period; From the post-punk alt club fashions, to the alt rock and grunge soundtrack curated by Courtney Love, the aggressive alt-grrl femininity, the fantastic scenes depicted, the haircuts, and then there are the performances by Lori Petty, Tony Collette, Ice T, Malcom McDowell, Iggy Pop and more. It set off the creative bulbs in my head and I spent all evening creating a huge drawing on 3x A1 sheets of paper of a Tank covered in different incarnations of sexy Tank Girl inspired women. I was an art student at the time so I was very familiar with the alt culture depicted. At it's core the imagery of a funky dressed, sexy woman, with an aggressive DGAF attitude, paired with heavy, custom modified and decorated military hardware is what sticks with you and has been one of the core influences in my creative pursuits from then on. There have been many others of course, but this was A significant moment. The image in the art for this Quackcast is the drawing I made back then. I took it to class the next day and my lecturer just said that to her it just showed an “arrogance in drawing ability”, which I was a little shocked by, but this was the mid 1990s and drawing ability was NOT a priority among artists at the time. I am very serious- most 1990s fine artists lacked even rudimentary skill. It was a weird time. Can you tell us about any significant creative influence exposure events? This week Gunwallace made up a theme inspired by Pipeline Lizards - Oriental, old west, rock! This capers up to you in an enthusiastic, confusing, crabwalk of anachronism, bathing you in exciting rock and the plucky tones of what sounds like a shamisen played like a banjo! - I'm saying that I love it BTW.

Do you remember the 90's Girl Power Action Extravaganza "Tank Girl"? We have not seen this movie since the 90's but we do remember Lori Petty being Tank Girl and Ice-T being a grumpy Kangaroo Mutant, so it's got that going for it. Throw in Malcolm McDowell as the Big Boss Villian and some Naomi Watts and we might have some good old-fashioned 90's Nostalgia Comic Book Movie Goodness. Or all of the above may be the reason we have not watched this movie since the 90's. Oh Yeah, we totally forgot Naomi Watts was in this movie too. Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

While Sophia has a history with the character and an affinity for the movie, Colby has no such connection. As such, this episode is mostly spent asking questions of the film's baffling decisions, googling old issues of Cinescape magazine and deep-diving into the animation department's IMDb pages. Also, IMDb sucks now. Come for the movie talk, stay for the endless diversions.

Well, I explain where I've been and when I'll be returning in this episode, and I'm unlocking a bonus episode in the meantime.That's right, Scott Benson (co-creator of Night in the Woods and all around great dude) is back to deliver another epic episode, this time on TANK GIRL.

Welcome to another episode of the Video Store Podcast, where we dive into the depths of cinema history to bring you recommendations from all corners of the movie universe. Today, we're shining the spotlight on an actress whose unique energy and talent have graced some of the most memorable films from the late '80s and '90s: Lori Petty. Let's embark on a journey through four films that not only showcase Petty's versatile acting prowess but also offer a nostalgic trip back to a time when movies were an escape into worlds both wildly imaginative and inspiringly real.Bates Motel (1987): Kicking off our journey is a trip to the infamous Bates Motel, but not as you know it. This 1987 television movie attempts to resurrect the eerie charm of Alfred Hitchcock's classic, with a twist. Lori Petty stars in a pivotal role that showcases her early acting potential. While the film itself diverges from the original Psycho's dark allure, Petty's performance is a beacon of intrigue, providing a glimpse into the dynamic talent that would come to define her career.A League of Their Own (1992): Stepping up to the plate, we find Lori Petty in one of her most beloved roles. "A League of Their Own" offers not just a glimpse into the world of women's professional baseball during World War II but also showcases Petty's incredible range as Kit Keller, the fiery younger sister to Geena Davis's Dottie Hinson. Petty brings a heartfelt and stubbornly spirited performance to the film, highlighting the struggles and triumphs of women athletes with both humor and depth. It's a home run that captures the essence of determination and sisterhood.In the Army Now (1994): From the baseball diamond to the desert sands, Lori Petty continues to surprise and entertain as Christine Jones in "In the Army Now." This comedy, starring alongside Pauly Shore, might not be the pinnacle of cinematic achievement, but Petty's performance steals the show. Her character's journey from a lackadaisical civilian to a committed army reservist provides laughs and a few earnest moments, showcasing Petty's ability to shine even amidst the most chaotic comedic scenarios.Tank Girl (1995): Finally, we reach the cult classic that is "Tank Girl." Based on the British post-apocalyptic comic series, this film is a wild, anarchic ride through a dystopian future, with Petty in the titular role. Tank Girl is an icon of feminist punk, and Petty embodies the character's rebellious spirit with unmatched zest. The film blends action, comedy, and a unique visual style that, while not a box office success, has garnered a fervent cult following over the years. Petty's performance is electrifying, bringing to life a character that refuses to be tamed or categorized.Lori Petty's journey through these films is a testament to her talent and versatility as an actor. From the eerie halls of Bates Motel to the baseball fields of World War II, from the comedic barracks of "In the Army Now" to the anarchic future of "Tank Girl," Petty brings to each role a distinct energy that is all her own. As we revisit these films, we're not just watching movies; we're experiencing the evolution of a remarkable performer whose roles have left an indelible mark on the hearts of moviegoers.Subscribe to the Video Store Podcast* The Video Store Podcast* Apple Podcast* RSS This is a public episode.
