This is the DTVC Podcast, official podcast of the Direct to Video Connoisseur. Every week we tackle a new DTV film or topic. Drop us a line with comments and suggestions.
"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode I look at "Thunderbolts*". In the first half I look at how the Thunderbolts started in the comics, how they differ from the Suicide Squad, my history with the characters, and how they got their start in the MCU. Then in the second half, we get stuck in on the movie itself, why I liked it...
In this episode I'm joined by Freddie Young from Full Moon Reviews as we look at the Cannon classic, "Invasion USA". Before that, we look at the upcoming "Thunderbolts*" (which has now been released in theaters), and where things are going for Marvel Studios. Then with the film, we get into Chuck Norris as the hero, and then instead of doing a full walkthrough, we go over the many highlights.

In a continuation from episode 207's recording session, Jon Cross from Be Kind Movie Vault and the PM Entertainment Podcast and I had more material beyond the double feature of "Bedroom Eyes" and "Bedroom Eyes II" we discussed then. Among the many things we joked about: minor league hockey, guys at the bar who think they know everything, and a conspiracy theorist looking to get on his podcast. We also talk a...
"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode I look at "Daredevil: Born Again". In the first half I look at how Daredevil developed as a character from his first appearance in the 60s, to the Frank Miller run in the 80s, plus his live action adaptations to this point. And then in the second half, we get stuck in on "Born Again...
We're joined once again by Jon Cross from the PM Entertainment Podcast and the After Movie Diner to discuss the erotic thriller double feature "Bedroom Eyes" and "Bedroom Eyes II". We try to make sense of the nonsensical plots, we try to make sense of Kip Gilman, and we try to make sense of Linda Blair's post "Exorcist" career. Oh yeah, and part two has Wings Hauser playing the part Kip Gilman ...
Todd Liebenow from Forgotten Filmcast is back on, this time to discuss "American Ninja," the Michael Dudikoff/Cannon classic. There are all kinds of things to get into with this gem, from the ninja action, to Michael Dudikoff's strong silent type--emphasis on the silent--to the pictures the colonel keeps on his wall, and we get into all of it!

Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back for his monthly spot on the pod, this time it's Cusack on the Skids, featuring two films with the great John Cusack in them. Before that though, we give our thoughts on Wings Hauser, who recently left us. For our first film, "River Runs Red", we look at why it didn't work, and how it could've been better. Then for our second film, "Pursuit", it's a fun film alm...
In this episode I'm joined by Jeanette Ward from The Mundane Adventures of a Fangirl, to discuss the Dolph Lundgren classic, "Bridge of Dragons". We look at how it compares to some of his other greats, like "Showdown in Little Tokyo," and then we get into the good, the bad, the kooky, and the "why did they do that?", because the people making this movie, including director Isaac Florentine, made so...
In this episode I'm joined once again by Chris "The Brain" Kacvinsky from Bulletproof Action, and this time we're featuring Jeff Wincott, Cynthia Rothrock, and Evan Lurie in the 90s classic "Martial Law II". Before that though, we pay tribute to the late Wings Hauser, who left us hours before we recorded the episode. Then with the film, we get into Wincott and his great duster and Jeep with no doors; Rot...
"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode I look at the Sony Spider-Verse without Spider-Man. In the first half I look at how this even came to be, and then the first two Venom films and the infamous Morbius. And then in the second half, we keep getting infamous with Madame Web, before we transition into the last Venom film, and finally K...
Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back for his monthly spot on the pod, this time it's another Willis flick in "Fortress: Sniper's Eye", a bit of a slog with Chad Michael Murray sans vest from the first film; and "Last Kumite", a fun film that brings us back to 90s punchfighters. Finally, our spotlight on a fight looks at the fight between Jeff Speakman and William Shatner at the end of "Land of the Fr...
Scott Murphy from All 90s Action, All the Time and New Horror Express is back to discuss another Steven Seagal DTV flick, this time "Black Dawn." A sequel to "The Foreigner" that wasn't meant to be one, this film, like so many Seagal DTV flicks, has an interesting history. As we discuss the bonkers ups and downs, that strange history plays into a lot of what went wrong--which with Seagal DTV means it's o...
It's our 200th episode! We're joined by Mitch from the Video Vacuum as we look the new Megan Fox Netflix film "Subservience." We start by discussing the place these Netflix movies fill in the film ecosystem compared to previous eras. Then we get into the movie, which is a mix of "Fatal Attraction" and Philip K. Dick, with Megan Fox turning in a great performance.

In this episode Sean Malloy of "I Must Break This Podcast" is back, and we're discussing the recent Van Damme DTV effort "Kill 'Em All 2." Before we get into that though, we look at the first one from 2017. Was this a film that was worthy of a sequel? And then with the second film, we look at what worked and what didn't, and where we think Van Damme goes from here.

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode I look at Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the first segment, before I look at the first six films in the phase, I look at the intervening year or so between "Ant-Man" and "Captain America: Civil War" and some of the important moments in comic book movies. I also ge...
In this episode I'm joined by Freddie Young from Full Moon Reviews as we look at the Troma classic, "Def By Temptation". Before that, we look at the upcoming "Captain America: Brave new World" (which has now been released in theaters), and what 2025 could look like for Marvel Studios. Then with the film, we get into how we each found this gem, what about it works so well, and then look at highlights.

Finally, our spotlight on a fight looks at the fight between Evan Lurie and Joe Lara at the end of "Hologram Man".
We're joined once again by Jon Cross from After Movie Diner to discuss the PM Entertainment classic "T-Force." It's got it all, Jack Scalia, Erin Gray, Evan Lurie, Malibu, the be-pony-tailed cable guy from "Animal Instincts," all the stunts, car flips, and exploding helicopters you could ask for, plus one doughy alderman.
You can find the After Movie Diner on all major podcatchers, and on YouTube, Twitc...
In this episode Sean Malloy of "I Must Break This Podcast" is back, and we're discussing the recent Van Damme DTV effort "Darkness of Man." We get into what went wrong for us with this one, but why Van Damme's efforts are different from other DTV stars. Finally, we look at some ways Van Damme could still give us fans the films we're looking for from him.
