DTVC Podcast

Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back for his monthly spot on the pod as we look at two Johnny Messner films (which both also have Vinnie Jones), "Decommissioned," which features James Remar; and "Checkmate" with Danny Glover in a small role. Finally, our spotlight on a fight remembers the late Cary Tagawa with the end fight in Mortal Kombat.

In this episode I'm joined once again by Chris "The Brain" Kacvinsky from Bulletproof Action, and this time we're looking at some Zags with "Project Shadowchaser," co-starring Martin Kove as the fly in the ointment. In addition to the movie, we have a few classic TV tangents, and also discuss songs that this movie brings to mind. (We also get stumped trying to think of Zags's best movies!)

We're joined once again by Jon Cross from the PM Entertainment Podcast and the After Movie Diner, this time to discuss a Joan Severance/C. Thomas Howell erotic thriller double feature, with "Dangerous Indiscretion" and "Payback." Before that though, Jon tells us about his recent foray into the DTV world with the movies "Mafia" and "Pistol Whipped." Then, after a break, we get into the ero...

In this episode I'm joined by Freddie Young from Full Moon Reviews for our Christmas episode, as we look at the new "Silent Night, Deadly Night" that's out in theaters now. We talked about how much fun we had and why, and how we need more movies like this in the theater. Then with "Santa's Slay," we talk about Bill Goldberg as a wrestler, and how this movie was a departure from his wrestling persona-...

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode I'm looking at "Ballerina" after finally watching it on Starz. I get into how I missed it when it was in the theater, and then how much I wished I hadn't as I was watching the film on the small screen. I then try to break down why a movie that was so good didn't do as well at...

It's that time again! We're joined by Mitch from the Video Vacuum for his annual Christmas visit. This year we're discussing the Debbie Rochon/John Russo film "Santa Claws." In addition to the film, we talked a bit about Rochon's career, and the low budget horror movie ecosystem in the 90s. Then we continue our holiday tradition of discussing Mitch's holiday tradition, which is watching the Dan Haggert...

Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back for his monthly spot on the pod as we look at two from Hulu, "MR9: Do or Die," which features Frank Grillo and Michael Jai White; and "High Rollers" a Randall Scandal sequel to "Cash Out" starring John Travolta.

In this episode I'm joined once again by Chris "The Brain" Kacvinsky from Bulletproof Action, and this time we're looking at one that many are considering one of the best actioners in recent memory, "Diablo." We discuss a bit about Adkins and Zaror and what makes them so good, and then we get stuck in on the film, walking you through all the great stuff--with perhaps a classic TV tangent or two!

Screenwriter Tom Jolliffe is back to discuss his newest film, "Death Among the Pines," which is available now to rent on Amazon for $2.99 here in the States. The first half is a spoiler-free conversation about the film, so even if you haven't watched the movie yet, you can listen safely. Then after a break, I ask some questions that do contain spoilers, so be careful if you haven't seen it yet.

Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back for his monthly spot on the pod as we look at "Shepherd Code 2," which features Alain Delabie, Don "The Dragon Wilson" and Shaina West (who is on back-to-back Ty episodes!); and "Desert Dawn" The Phillippe Phactory film we'd been waiting for, as it features both Kellen Lutz and Cam Gigandet, plus a film-stealing performance by Chad Michael Collins. Finally, our s...

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode I'm looking at the two latest entries in the Predator franchise, "Killer of Killers" and "Badlands". With the first one, I get into what I like, and what I don't like--and what I don't like is rather prodigious, enough for me to go on a rant. After a break I get int...

We're joined this week by screenwriter Richard Pierce, as we look at the Don "The Dragon" Wilson classic "Capitol Conspiracy." Before that we start by discussing Rich's time working with Olivier Gruner on "Sector 4: Extraction," and the process of screenwriting for Lifetime and Tubi Originals. After a break we get stuck in on the film, looking what works, why it's a fun time, and how Wilson...

We're joined once again by Mitch from the Video Vacuum as we celebrate Dolph Lundgren's birthday week with a look at 2007's "Missionary Man." We jump right in and get after it, discussing all the things that work, including some happy accidents that added to the film's vibe. We also get into the current experience of going to the movies, and why retro screenings are often a better bet than gambling on some...

In this episode I'm joined by Freddie Young from Full Moon Reviews for our Halloween episode as we look at the action/horror classic "Maniac Cop". Before that though, we talked about 2025 in film so far, especially the experience of seeing films in the theater, and which of the major studios came out winners and losers. Then with "Maniac Cop," we get stuck in on some of the elements around policing that this...

Scott Murphy from All 90s Action, All the Time and New Horror Express is back to discuss another Steven Seagal DTV flick, this time "Today You Die." Seagal as some kind of Robin Hood ends up caught up in some armored car heist and finds himself in prison. Luckily Treach takes a liking to him and helps him get out, now he just needs to get revenge on the baddies and make off with the cash. Do we at least get Seagal doing a poor soun...

Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back for his monthly spot on the pod, but this time as we're continuing our "On the Skids" series, we thought "on the skids" wasn't strong enough for Mickey Rourke, so we're going with "to Oblivion." The two DTV Rourke films are, "Jade" with Shaina West and Mark Dacascos, and "Hunt Club" with Mena Suvari and Casper Van Dien. The thing is, both of these have a level of polish and earnestness that put t...

We're joined once again by Jon Cross from the PM Entertainment Podcast and the After Movie Diner, this time to discuss a Jack Scalia erotic thriller double feature, with "Deadly Desire" and "Illicit Behavior." With "Deadly Desire," we try to make sense of this man from the 70s trying to make it work in the 90s; plus an interesting looking porcelain snail cactus holder. After a break, we get stuck i...

In this episode I'm joined once again by Jeanette Ward from The Mundane Adventures of a Fangirl, this time to discuss a Michael Jai White double feature with "Black Dynamite" and "Outlaw Johnny Black." We start with what we like about Michael Jai White, and how his talents translate so well to the movie screen. Then with "Black Dynamite" we talked about how that movie works on so many levels; and w...

In this episode Sean Malloy of "I Must Break This Podcast" is back, and we're discussing another Van Damme DTV flick, 2003's "In Hell." We look at Van Damme's collaborations with Ringo Lam, and how this was different from a lot of other films Van Damme had done. We also discuss what the DTV world was like back in 2003, and how a film like this could compete with big blockbusters like X2 in the video store.
