Podcast appearances and mentions of Warwick Davis

In today's episode, we suffer through the failed reboot of the Leprechaun series, Leprechaun Origins (2014).No longer starring Warwick Davis, the role of the "leprechaun" goes to Dylan Postl (famous for playing the role of a leprechaun in WWE). Unlike the wise-cracking Leprechaun from the first 6 movies, Postl's creature does not speak or do anything resembling entertainment.The result is a move that could have fatally wounded the franchise. Thankfully, it received a more proper reboot a few years later.

Join us as we dive into the chaotic world of Leprechaun 6: Back 2 tha Hood (2003), the 6th installment in the cult horror-comedy franchise where Warwick Davis returns (for the final time!) as the pint-sized, rhyming Leprechaun.Unfortunately, he does virtually no rhyming in this film, which is easily the worst Leprechaun movie of the original six films starring Warwick.

From surviving Muffy St. John's prank in “April Fool's Day” to battling a vengeful trickster in “Leprechaun,” Ken Olandt has made his mark in the horror genre — alongside some popular leading ladies. Tune in to hear all about making these two memorable horror films, what it was like sharing the screen with both Amy Steel and Jennifer Aniston, and of course we had to ask about appearing as male stripper, Larry Kazamias, in 1987's “Summer School.”

For their very first official Star Wars Day episode, Tim and AJ talk about the weirdness that was Star Wars Weekends, and how Warwick Davis probably operates on Beetlejuice rules.Hosted by Tim O'Connor and AJ SalisburyCover art by @chipstercreates.bsky.social on BlueskyFacebook: facebook.com/Standby-LineInstagram: instagram.com/standbylinepodcastPatreon: patreon.com/standbylinepodcastEmail: standbylinepodcast@gmail.comNo portion of this episode may be used for AI training purposes or to create derivative works without express written permission from the creators and co-hosts Timothy O'Connor or Anthony Salisbury.

Step back into retro horror with a deep dive into the cult classic Leprechaun

Irland ist für Vieles bekannt - grüne Wiesen, gute Butter und noch besseres Bier. Doch der wahre Schatz des Landes kommt aus den USA: das Leprechaun-Franchise! Grund genug für uns, dem kleinen Kobold sein Filmgold abzujagen und gründlich auf die Goldwaage zu legen. Schließlich muss es einen Grund geben, warum diese Horrorfilme seit Jahrzehnten einfach nicht totzukriegen sind. Ein erster Hinweis findet sich schon in den Filmtiteln: Der Leprechaun liebt die Abwechslung. Mal steht er am Roulettetisch, mal schwebt er durchs Weltall, um dann einen Film später die Hood unsicher zu machen. Kontinuität? Nebensache! Guter Geschmack ist sowieso Nebensache. Stattdessen regieren absurder Splatter, schlechte Reime und die unbändige Spielfreude von Warwick Davis. Also alles in Kerrygold? Fast! Nach dem Abschied von Warwick Davis ringt das Franchise um seinen Platz im Horrorgenre – und es war nicht alles Gold, was glänzt. Zum Glück habt ihr uns, die euch in dieser brandneuen Folge verraten, welche Koboldfilme Pflicht sind und über welche wir das kleine grüne Mäntelchen des Schweigens legen. Wir versprechen euch, diese Folge wird ein inneres Kleeblatt-Pflücken! ---------- Kontaktseite: https://www.mdavs.de/kontakt/ Twitter: @MdaVs_Podcast Facebook: www.facebook.com/TrashOMeter Mail: MdaVs-Podcast@hotmail.com Gastbeiträge einreichen: https://www.speakpipe.com/MdaVs Podcast unterstützen: https://ko-fi.com/mdavs https://steadyhq.com/de/mdavs/about ---------- JETZT AUCH BEI DISCORD!

If you've ever wondered what happens when a funny podcast celebrates a birthday, attempts celebrity cameos, and accidentally launches an international hockey-based legal strategy… welcome to this episode of The Rizzuto Show.We kick things off with Lern's birthday, featuring a cake so aggressively buttercream-heavy it may qualify as a controlled substance. It's nostalgic, it's delicious, and it's actively shortening lifespans in real time. Naturally, the crew leans in instead of backing away—because self-control is not part of this funny podcast brand.Then comes the heartbreak: a perfectly planned celebrity cameo involving Warwick Davis gets derailed thanks to knighthood. Yes, apparently becoming “Sir” means you're too fancy for Cameo, and just like that, $250 worth of comedic gold disappears into the void. Tragic. Truly.Meanwhile, Lern's husband is acting like he's in a low-budget spy thriller—hiding gifts, issuing mail warnings, and generally behaving like he's one trench coat away from a full espionage charge. Suspicion levels rise, expectations skyrocket, and honestly… we're just here for the reveal.But the real descent into madness begins with the E-Memoriam segment. This week, we say goodbye to regular ice cream (replaced by melatonin-infused dessert because apparently, we now eat our feelings AND sedate them), Lern's youth, and—brace yourself—traditional methods of catching a cheating partner. Yes, things get weird. Yes, it involves polygraphs. No, we're not proud.And then… the quest.Rafe embarks on what can only be described as a heroic, unnecessary, and deeply entertaining mission to gain entry into Canada—with the help of Wayne Gretzky, Brett Hull, and Jamie Rivers. There are scrolls. There are speeches. There is a level of commitment that suggests this funny podcast may need adult supervision.Add in Chuck Norris tributes, bizarre relationship scenarios, and a dramatic reenactment that spirals into full theatrical absurdity, and you've got an episode that perfectly captures what The Rizzuto Show does best: organized chaos disguised as a morning show.It's messy, it's ridiculous, and it's exactly why you keep coming back.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode of The Rizzuto Show is what happens when you take a perfectly normal birthday… and absolutely refuse to let it stay normal.Lern's big day kicks off with a cake so rich it should require a financial advisor—homemade, stacked like pancakes, and apparently just one stick of butter away from being legally classified as a health hazard. Naturally, the gang leans in and makes it worse, because nothing says celebration like roasting the birthday girl while she's elbow-deep in frosting.But the real chaos kicks in when we learn about a missed opportunity that will haunt this show forever: a fully planned Cameo from Warwick Davis that never happened because—get this—he got knighted and is now apparently too royal for your $250 message. Cool cool cool. Totally fine. Definitely not devastating.From there, things spiral (as they do) into a full-blown comedic saga involving secret birthday gifts, suspicious behavior, and what can only be described as espionage-level planning just to keep surprises intact. Meanwhile, the crew somehow detours into national holidays, the mysterious disappearance of young people named Joe, and one of the most unhinged E-Memoriam segments we've ever heard.Yes, we're talking about “sleepy ice cream”—because apparently the next evolution of dessert is adding melatonin so you can emotionally eat AND pass out at the same time. Progress.And then… the main event.Rafe unveils his quest to get into Canada despite a past DUI, which somehow escalates into a dramatic, borderline mythological plea for letters of recommendation from Wayne Gretzky, Brett Hull, and Jamie Rivers. What follows is a theatrical reading that feels less like radio and more like a prophecy being delivered from the mountaintop of absolute nonsense.This funny podcast somehow manages to blend birthday cake, celebrity fails, medical-grade dessert jokes, and international bureaucracy into one beautifully chaotic episode. It's messy, it's ridiculous, and it's exactly why this funny podcast continues to be your daily dose of “what the hell did I just listen to?”If you like your funny podcast with zero structure, maximum sarcasm, and just enough reality to make it concerning… welcome home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Detroit judge scolds woman for Zooming into court from car, questions if she's driving: ‘Do you think I'm that stupid?'A pants-wearing kangaroo is on the loose in Wisconsin and cops need help to find itWake County schools responding to reports of new Jeffrey Epstein-inspired video gameSt. Louis County health officials warn of overdose spike, rapid spread of 'rhino tranq' in drug supplyNorth Carolina Man Pleads Guilty To Music Streaming Fraud Aided By Artificial IntelligenceAmerican Airlines passengers stunned after arriving at the airport to find their flights replaced by bus routesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"I'll take it from you, homie, you'll see, cause you know the Leprechaun is the real O.G."The Horror Bulls roll up with Leprechaun in the Hood (2000), the sequel where the franchise fully abandons logic and leans into pure chaotic energy. Rap battles, magic weed, Ice-T, and Warwick Davis absolutely going for it — we break down whether this is dumb fun or completely unhinged nonsense.

In this episode, Fright Night Flicks - Your Horror Movie Podcast reviews Leprechaun 2, the chaotic sequel that doubles down on everything that made the original so strange. We break down the story, the over-the-top moments, and Warwick Davis returning as the gold-obsessed Leprechaun, while asking if this movie crosses the line into “so bad it's good” territory. This horror movie review dives into the weird tone, the kills, and why Leprechaun 2 remains a memorable entry in one of horror's most bizarre franchises.#Leprechaun2 #HorrorMovieReview #CultHorror

It's St. Patrick's Day week (sort of), and we've run out of movies from the Leprechaun horror franchise (also sort of), so we decided to stick with Warwick Davis instead and watched the kids' movie, A Very Unlucky Leprechaun. Join us as we discuss Warwick Davis being typecast as a leprechaun, whether or not how-to book writers are "authors", and try to make heads or tails of the surprise ending. Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.Our theme music was written and performed by Dave Katusa.

Sarah Ferguson is reportedly leaning on longtime friend Priscilla Presley for support as the York fallout deepens, and the friendship is now raising eyebrows because of Presley's long association with Scientology. Sources say Ferguson has not joined anything, but is said to be curious and “just listening” while looking for guidance and stability during a chaotic time. Presley is also reportedly urging Fergie to write a memoir and joking about setting her up with “eligible American bachelors.”Meanwhile, Prince Harry's High Court case produced a surprise detail as evidence emerged that he once socialized with a Mail on Sunday journalist now caught up in the newspaper litigation.Plus: Prince William hands honors to Warwick Davis and Lioness Alex Greenwood, Queen Camilla hosts finalists from the BBC's 500 Words competition at Windsor Castle, and Buckingham Palace goes help wanted with a new kitchen porter job that comes with live-in accommodation, meals and palace perks.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

"Try as they will, and try as they might, who steals me gold won't live through the night!"What better way to get into the St. Patrick's Day spirit than starting a new series: the Leprechaun movies featuring Warwick Davis!Starting with the original (Leprechaun, 1993), this film is also significant as one of Jennifer Aniston's first roles, a role she may or may not be proud of. Either way, we're confident that her and Warwick remain f.r.i.e.n.d.s.

What happens when a casino wish coin, Hulk Hogan, John Carpenter, a NY Jets Fan, and the Macho Man collide in Las Vegas? Absolute chaos.

In this episode, Fright Night Flicks: Your Horror Movie Podcast reviews Leprechaun, the bizarre cult horror movie that launched one of the strangest franchises in the genre. We break down the story, the chaotic tone, and Warwick Davis' unforgettable performance as the gold-obsessed Leprechaun. From ridiculous kills to the weird charm that made this movie a cult favorite, this horror movie review dives into whether Leprechaun still works today and why fans keep coming back to it.#Leprechaun #HorrorMovieReview #CultHorror

For the first time in the show's history, Brian and Steve talk about a Leprechaun film in time for St. Paddy's Day. Of course, it couldn't be the original, or in space or in da hood. Instead, it's the lesser known rebootquel made for the SYFY channel and without Warwick Davis and especially without Jennifer Aniston. However, it is directed by Steven Kostanski before he did Psycho Goreman, but after he did The Void. The results may shock you!    Plus we get announce our April Showdown topics and get to the bottom of how many Lake Placid movies there are. The answer may surprise you!

If you've ever trusted an airline, packed food “for later,” or believed a groundhog — this funny comedy podcast is here to hurt you.The Rizzuto Show comedy kicks off February already in shambles after a three-day weekend absolutely wrecks the studio's muscle memory. Punxsutawney Phil emerges, sees his shadow (allegedly), and condemns us all to six more weeks of winter while the crew debates whether anyone actually knows how Groundhog Day works.Then Rafe Williams recounts one of the most cursed travel weekends imaginable: stranded airports, nonstop delays, pilots who clearly should not be making small talk, and a Five Guys order forgotten in a backpack that slowly transforms into a greasy war crime mid-flight. Things escalate when the plane heats up like a sauna, passengers start passing out, and the smell of fries becomes a supporting character.The crew also breaks down the new Real ID situation — including the $45 TSA “Confirm ID” fee that feels suspiciously like a cover charge to exist — and debates whether complying with the government is worth it or if Rafe should fully commit to sovereign citizen energy. Along the way, flight attendants are praised as saints, airlines are ranked (American Airlines finishes exactly where you think), and a Boeing 777 toilet failure story pushes everyone to their emotional limit.Add in Rizz Show Night at the Blues game, Lern losing her car, and Lern discovering she somehow looks like Warwick Davis and Brianna Chickenfry in the same weekend, and you've got a funny podcast that spirals exactly the way it should.It's airline chaos, pop culture confusion, and daily comedy from start to finish — just another normal day on The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MOSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What starts as an awkward, charming encounter quickly turns into a whirlwind relationship when they discover they've won £200,000 on a scratch card. Deciding to spend the money together, the unlikely couple set off on a globe-trotting adventure inspired by Star Wars and Harry Potter chasing Comic Cons, filming locations, famous movie restaurants, and places where iconic books were written. But fantasy living doesn't come cheap. As lavish spending, bad decisions, and the illusion of endless money take hold, their finances, and relationship, begin to collapse. When the cash finally runs out, reality hits hard. Can their love survive the landing?From chance encounters with Warwick Davis to ending up stranded via the cheapest flight imaginable at Ireland's Knock Airport, this is an All Made Up Podcast episode like you've never heard before.

In this inaugural bonus tie-in podcast for the year 2026, which also happens to be the year of the 1980's for us on the show, we are tying into our January debates on 80's fantasy trend with our take on the 1988 Willow. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us retrace the oral history of how this movie came together and how it all led back to George Lucas and Star Wars. We talk about Ron Howard as a directorial presence stylistically aligned to Lucas and Spielberg, the many struggles of building a universe from the ground up and that fundamental archetypes seem to work best for audiences. We also discuss Warwick Davis as a lead (and the fact he wasn't the top billing in the credits), Val Kilmer as a lovable rogue and we also try to map the entire movie onto the framework of Star Wars. We touch on the film's villain problem, its groundbreaking special effects and much more!Tune in and enjoy! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our patreon at patreon.com/uncutgemspod (3$/month)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and support us by gaining access to ALL of our exclusive podcasts, such as bonus tie-ins, themed retrospectives and director marathons!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy Burrows⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Head over to our website to find out more!

I had interviewed Mark Jones on June 15, 2020. During the pandemic, nearly every filmmaker I reached out to was eager to talk and loved the idea of the podcast. Mark Jones was one of my first interviews and after sending him an e-mail, he agreed to come on the pod. Although he was well known in the cult world, few really knew how much of a genius he was or know of his cultural impact.  At the time of the interview, there was no talk of a “Leprechaun” 4K release, or a blu-ray stacked with special features and Jones explained to me that he had piles of unreleased footage, bloopers screen tests and more! All that was needed was demand from the fans and encouragement from podcasters.   Jones was one of my favorite interviews and I re-released the episode every year around St. Patrick's Day for everyone to pair with “Leprechaun.” Unlike previous releases, this one will be unedited so everyone can enjoy it in its entirety.  After the episode aired, he wrote to me saying he loved it and encouraged me to keep interviewing and follow my passion.  Rest In Peace , Mark. Your work was loved by generations and influenced many horror movie fans.  If you're not doing so already, please like and follow Classic American Movies on Instagram and Facebook. I do free movie giveaways, mini movie reviews and more! Also, I decided to dabble in making my own slasher film called “Bishop's Day”. Check out the Instagram page for updates.

For years I was always freaked out when I saw the cover for the film, Leprechaun. I had it in my head that it was some weird twisted horrific tale and I had been saving it for the pod for this very moment. Needless to say I was so wrong and this movie was hilarious and I can't wait to see more of the series. Mikey is along on this episode as we laugh at the many quotes, hilarious transportation modes, and get into why Jennifer Aniston would like to pretend this film doesn't exist. ---Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie  & Mikey @agentmikey007Follow Fashion Grunge PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge

In this episode, the reigns are given to Brian to steer the guys at a flick to chat about. After very very little thought he decided to finally unleash the surreal nightmare that is the one and only "Skinned Deep" starring Warwick Davis!! Knowing full well that Jef and Josh would hate this movie, he waited until the perfect moment, and that perfect moment is now and why is the perfect moment now you might ask? The answer is that it was the first movie to pop into his little pea brain and now everyone gets to experience this wild ass movie. He says, you are welcome! Now enjoy the show! 

BIG show tonight as the gang talk about Ultima Online's 28th anniversary, Steam's big mistake and absolute CHAD who came to the rescue, James Comey's indictment, Google's admission that Biden forced them to censor people, Jimmy Kimmel's return, and how amazing Warwick Davis is! All this PLUS the legendary chat names and a radical top 5!

Send us a textIn this episode, we talk about why Jude Law should play young Dumbledore in the new TV show. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      Listen to episode 298 called “Warwick Davis is returning as Flitwick? Who else should reprise their role?” here!·      2:14 Why two actors? Well, Dumbledore has a complex past. He feels like he was a different person back in his Grindelwald days, and a different person warrants a different actor. Choosing another actor to play a younger version of himself would show us that he is truly a three-dimensional character.·      13:27 Why Jude Law? In Fantastic Beasts, he was fantastic. When interacting with Creedence we saw that Creedence's pain was his own, and that Dumbledore truly regrets the difficult like that Creedence had. He also showed Jacob a huge amount of respect for diving into battle with no way of protecting himself.·      21:13 What if there was only one actor? If Jonathan Lithgow was the only actor, we would lose the perspective of Dumbledore's past. He would become a one-sided character, and we can't have that.·      25:24 Who else should have multiple actors? Dumbledore was one of the only flashback characters that didn't have multiple actors. Voldemort had something like four actors. I think Aberforth deserves multiple actors, as well as McGonagall they play important behind the scenes roles that should be explored.Having anything you want to hear or say?

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss which actors should reprise their roles in the new Harry Potter TV show. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      Listen to episode 287, “Tom Felton is returning to Broadway. Who should return to the TV show?” Here!·       4:10 Jason Isaacs as Lucius Malfoy. He was the perfect blend of haughty, rude, and fearful. He portrayed a fantastic arc, and really showed us what it means to be afraid. Without a doubt, he would be a great addition. ·      10:21 Alan Rickman as Snape. He shouldn't return. His performance was too perfect. There are no changes I can think to make to it, and so I don't think Alan Rickman should change that. Getting another actor puts a stopper in the bottle of his performance and really immortalizes it.·      18:25 Matthew Lewis as Neville Longbottom. This is an interesting case, because there's no chance for him to return as Neville, but there are other possibilities. Perhaps, he can be a herbology professor who watches over himself in a way, and sees just how much he grows.·      24:41 Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange. I don't think she should return, because she absolutely crushed it. We should get some new blood in there to preserve the performance.·      27:00 Jude Law as Dumbledore. I know, he doesn't really count, but the Fantastic Beasts Dumbledore is pretty close to the same time as some of the flashbacks we got in the films. It would be super cool if Jude Law played the younger version of him. It would put in a natural separation that Dumbledore himself wants between who he was, and who he wants to be.Having anything you want to hear or say?
