DTVC Podcast

Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back for his monthly spot on the pod as we look at "Hounds of War" and "Affinity". With "Hounds of War," we fire up the Grillo again for one we'd been waiting for for a long time. Was it worth the wait? Then on the second one, "Affinity", Marko Zaror gets after it, and we're all better for it. Finally, our spotlight on a fight looks at the end fight in "The Perfect Weapon".

For the Letterboxd list of t...

"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 Mortal Kombat movies. In the first segment, I talk about my history with the games, and how that played into the first two movies in the 1990s. I also get into why I thought the first one worked better than the second. In the second segment I talk about the two 2020s movies, giving my thoughts on ...

In this episode I'm joined by Freddie Young from Full Moon Reviews as we look at another Dolph DTV film, "Silent Trigger". We start with the first 90 minutes or so looking at the year in movies so far, especially the success of "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," but also "The Odyssey," "Obsession," etc., and why we think so many people are going to the theater again. Then with "Silent Trigger," we talk about how much we enjoyed this film...

We're joined once again by Mitch from the Video Vacuum, and this time we're taking the plunge in the Breen Pool, discussing his film "Fateful Findings". We try to make sense of all the things being knocked off tables, shots of people's feet, and fantastic line deliveries. Then in the last hour or so, as we're about to wrap up, we have an impromptu conversation about movie blogging, Albert Pyun films, and blockbusters.

For Mitch's Ch...

"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 new "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" film. I start by putting it in context, especially after 2023, the year that was all about "superhero fatigue." What was it about this year that has allowed for "Brand New Day" to have historic success? Then I get into whether I liked it or not and why. Finally, in ...

In this episode Sean Malloy of "I Must Break This Podcast" is back, and we're discussing another Van Damme DTV flick, 2012's "6 Bullets," the second of three films he did with Ernie Barbarash. This was similar to "Assassination Games" where it had aged well compared to the current state of DTV action, and Van Damme turns in a great performance, but it did lack Scott Adkins, which may have allowed "Assassination Games" to come out a...

Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back for his monthly spot on the pod as we look at "A Line of Fire" and "Prey of Wrath". With "A Line of Fire," it wasn't horrible, but David AR White as an action lead was tough for us to take. Then on the second one, Tatiana Neva was the standout, but it was also nice to see Cynthia Rothrock get a nice action scene in. Finally, our spotlight on a fight looks at the end fight in "The Fugitive".

For th...

"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 what I call "Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 pt 2," because I felt like season 2 was just part 2 of season 1. I start with why it took me so long to watch those eight episodes, and then I get into why a lot of it didn't work for me. In the second segment, I look at the one-off "The Punisher: One Last K...

We're joined once again by Jon Cross from the PM Entertainment Podcast and the After Movie Diner, this time to discuss a Last Seduction double feature. With the first one, we look at where it fits with the other great films of 1994, then dig in on what works and what doesn't, including a couple glaring plot holes. Then with the sequel, we get into how many ways it was sauteed in wrong sauce--and there were many! Finally, after the ...

Todd Liebenow from Forgotten Filmcast and Cartoon Breakdown is back, this time to get stuck in on the Reb Brown classic "Strike Commando." Before that though, we discuss the new Supergirl movie, and how it compared to the original for us. Then with "Strike Commando" it's all about shimmying stuntmen, anachronisms, Reb Brown screams, and lies about Disneyland.

You can find the Forgotten Filmcast on iTunes or other major podcatchers,...

"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 new "Supergirl" movie. I start with some backstory about how we got to that movie, and then I try to make sense of why a movie that's pretty good is doing so poorly at the box office. In the second segment, I talk about my newest novel "Mark in Sales," giving some background on how I came up with ...

In this episode I'm joined once again by Chris "The Brain" Kacvinsky from Bulletproof Action, and this time we're doing some Brucesploitation with "Golden Dragon, Silver Snake." There's a lot of fun stuff to discuss in this one, like the restaurant with no customers, the "bastard milkman," and what Samuel Walls was even doing in the film; but we still managed to get in some tangents on classic TV, 80s and 90s wrestling, and a quest...

Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back for his monthly spot on the pod as we look at the third Alan Delabie Lapierre film "Shepherd Code: Lapierre," and "Clear Cut" starring a lot of returning podcast champions. With "Shepherd Code: Lapierre," it had some nice moments, but the pacing made it difficult for us. Then on the second one, it also had its flaws, but that cast of familiar podcast faces made it a fun watch. Finally, our spotli...

We're joined once again this week by screenwriter Richard Pierce, as we look at the Jalal Merhi classic(?) "Expect to Die." Before that we start by discussing some of Rich's movies, in particular his Lifetime ones, and the place they hold in the current market.⁠ Then we get stuck in on the film, going over all of our key highlights--one of which we discover later I missed because I was watching what I didn't realize was the TV edit...

In this episode I'm joined by Freddie Young from Full Moon Reviews as we look at one of my favorite Dolph films, "The Minion". We start in the first 15 minutes or so talking about game 3 of the NBA Finals and the mess in New York when Trump attended the game. From there we spend the next 90 minutes or so looking at the year in movies so far, what's done well, what struggled, and what surprised us, and why we think all that happened...

Scott Murphy from All 90s Action, All the Time and Bloody Sam is back to discuss another Steven Seagal DTV flick, this time "Urban Justice." Out of the ones we've done so far, this one might not be so bad. But what does that mean for a Seagal DTV movie?

You can find Scott's podcasts on iTunes or other major podcatchers; or go here for All 90s Action, All the Time, https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-murphy9

We're joined once again by Jon Cross from the PM Entertainment Podcast and the After Movie Diner, this time to discuss a Shannon Whirry erotic thriller double feature "Mirror Images II" and "Private Obsession." With the first one, we look a bit at the first "Mirror Images" too, and how Shannon Whirry really brings it in part two. And then with "Private Obsession," we get into why this one doesn't work work for us, and how it betray...

We're joined once again by Mitch from the Video Vacuum, and we're discussing the cult classic "Champagne and Bullets". It'll be heavy on the "Shimmy Slide," but there's so much more to this gem, and Mitch and I try to cover all of it. We also look at the endearing traits of these vanity projects, and how much fun they are.

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. This episode is part two of my look at the Indiana Jones films, with "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," and "Dial of Destiny." I get into where the series was at 19 years after the third film, why we had a long wait for the fourth, and was it worth it. Then I finish up on the fifth one, and my ultimate conclusion was that this wa...
