S3E28- Blade Runner Franchise Review (Part 3 of 3) (with Erica Wright)

April 13, 2021 • 26 min

No business like discussing the cyberpunk masterpiece that is the 1982 film Blade Runner, it's multiple recut versions, the book source material by Phillip K. Dick, the '90s computer game, it's unofficial sequel (by the same writer!) called Soldier, it's official sequel 2049 and other interesting facts. Did you know there was a Total Recall show that bore far better resemblances to this franchise? Did you know that ...

S3E25- Janus filmmakers Terence Brown & Elvery Tren Peters

March 31, 2021 • 64 min

Dallas, TX based indie filmmakers, and friends of the show, Elvery Tren Peters and Terence T Brown discuss their original serial killer horror-mystery film, Janus, which is due out soon this year! I get to discuss why their film isn't bottom-of-the-barrel mediocrity and why the slasher in it is well-layered. What do they do different than most filmmakers when it comes to casting and assembling an invaluable crew? How do they av...

S3E24- The Shield complete tv series review (with Cort of Cinema Psyops)

March 30, 2021 • 70 min

Cort (of Cinema Psyops) joins in the fun that is tackling the now-hard-to-watch, demented and still groundbreaking action-crime-mystery drama that is The Shield. We discuss how so many of the themes of corruption are true to today's messed-up real world, especially the ICE Agent storyline in the final season(!). How did this end up being the next level of dirty cops and blue line morality dilemma after Serpico, Training Day and...

S3E23- The Prophecy cincology review (with Hugh Kenneth David)

March 24, 2021 • 74 min

B-movie loving expert and former film department advertising veteran Hugh Kenneth David joins me in assessing wether or not this angelic-demonic cult film series, The Prophecy, deserves more love or if it's just too goofy by today's standards. How awesome is the make-up in this? Why does it feel so much like Highlander at times?? And how inspired by this are films like COnstantine??? And more (of bloody course!). #JackedU...

Here, I get some insight from Simon Phillips, an established international actor and filmmaker of many genres (action, crime, horror, comedy) and conquering everything from the indie and video film market to making three different original web series that he later published himself on Amazon Prime. How did he get started to begin with? Who were his favorite actors to keep working with?? And what keeps him going after all is said an...

S3E19- Candyman trilogy and Remake Predictions (with Erica Wright)

March 10, 2021 • 41 min

Erica Wright (of the My Horrific Life podcast & blog) helps me tackle the perplexing, moodily gothic and sometimes occasionally (yet surprisingly) romantic horror trilogy of Candyman films. How much is this really a Clive Barker production versus him putting his name on it? Is the second one truly underrated in terms of adding to the premise and being its own thing?? Is the third one just an X-Files episode with the title villa...

S3E18- Sinister franchise (with Horror Trio)

March 9, 2021 • 40 min

Erica, David & Daniel all conjure up thoughts, reflections and overview with me on this short-lived Blumhouse produced two-film series. How much of it owes to other similar Hellraiser/Omen/Exorcist type franchises and how much else is its own unique nature? Where does this rank on Scott Derrickson's resume?? And what copycat films have we seen recently that are knock-offs of this new subgenre formula??? Turn off the lights ...

Liam O'Donnell (of Eric Roberts is The F$%&ing Man and Cinepunx podcasts) joins me for a special takedown of the complete trilogy of the cult film series that's Maniac Cop! How many like this as a low-brow yet still intelligent B-movie series and how many find this to be a trashy, so-bad-it's-good escapade? Is this essentially an Evil Dead-Terminator-Serpico mash-up?? And how vital is this for fans of Bruce Campbell...

With me to suffer through the abyss of heck that is the Hellraiser franchise. Robb and Daniel remark about how many ideas are disappointingly executed (no pun) while new member Tiffany Harding decides to use this material discussed or her stand-up act tomorrow! We dissect (the puns again!) what appeals and what doesn't with this chaotic franchise. Which ones can be enjoyed despite Clive Barker's disowning? Which ones would&...

The Nightmare Nerd, Cinema Drunkie and David all help me throw some suggestions in the box that deal with uncanny zombie themes. How many of them are campy as opposed to being cheap knock-offs? Which of these would actually make subgenera legend George Romero proud?? Which recent ones have criminally flown under the radar???

This is the second actor themed episodes we've done but is it the best of all time? Why are some of his non-crime genre roles so underseen yet so visceral??
