DTVC Podcast

Todd Liebenow from Forgotten Filmcast is back on, this time to discuss "Malibu Express," the unofficial start to Sidaris's LETHAL Ladies series. We look at Darby Hinton as the hero, and how as the series went on Sidaris shifted from the male lead to female leads with Dona Speir and Julie Strain; we also discuss the great 80s technology, which may have been cutting edge for its time, but now is fun for the nostalgia fa...

Then we get stuck in on "Honor and Glory," between the fun aspects of the dialog and acting, or the fanta...

We're joined once again by Mitch from the Video Vacuum as we look the weird and wild "The Rare Blue Apes of Cannibal Isle."

In this episode I'm joined by Freddie Young from Full Moon Reviews as we look at the new Superman movie and 1994's "Fantastic Four" film. With the first one, we discuss our feelings about the film overall, then what this may mean for the balance of power between Marvel and DC, and also whether or not "superhero fatigue" is an issue now. Then with the second film, we get stuck in on this Corman classic(?)...

In this episode Sean Malloy of "I Must Break This Podcast" is back, and we're discussing another Van Damme DTV flick, 1998's "Legionnaire." We look at how this may have ended up in the DTV world, but also how much nicer it looked than the modern DTV action flick, and throughout we talk about Van Damme's place in it all as someone transitioning from big screen star to DTV lead.

Check out Sean on "...

In the second part, we get stuck in on the films they made after that that were ...

Scott Murphy from All 90s Action, All the Time and New Horror Express is back to discuss another Steven Seagal DTV flick, this time "Into the Sun." It's Seagal in Japan, master swordsman, best agent in the CIA, expert on the Yakuza--all sounds about right, right?

In this episode I'm joined once again by Chris "The Brain" Kacvinsky from Bulletproof Action, and this time we're looking at the Isaac Florentine flick "Cold Harvest," starring Gary Daniels, Bryan Genesse, and Barbara Crampton. How does Daniels do playing two parts? Who does Genesse's beard? And ultimately, does it all just come down to finding a place where you can get a decent pastrami sandwich?

Scott Murphy from All 90s Action, All the Time and New Horror Express is back to discuss another Steven Seagal DTV flick, this time "Belly of the Beast." Directed by Hong Kong legend Siu-Tung Ching, there are elements that are worthy of his status in this--and there are elements that are worthy of Seagal's status too, if you know what I mean. It's still got all the bonkers you want from a Seagal DTV film.
