S3E30- The Hitcher films & remake (with Jon Mark)

Jonathan Mark and I tackle the 1986 gem that is The Hitcher, it's 2003 sequel I've Been Waiting and the 2007 atrocious so-bad-its-good remake. Why was Rutger Hauer perfect for this relentless bad guy role? Is the sequel actually worth checking out since it's got C. Thomas Howell returning as the hero?? Where does this rank in the unstoppable killer subgenre (which includes Duel and the Terminator films)???

S3E29- Hell House LLC trilogy reviewed (with Erica Wright)

My Horrific Life podcaster and repeat co-host Erica Wright helps me summarize the awesome Hell House LLC horror-mystery film trilogy! Why is this better than most lackluster found footage films? Is this the only reason to get a Shudder streaming subscription?? And which film had the best surprise twist ending???

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

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 the Blu-Ray special features for Prometheus indicate that this in the same universe as Alien??

Why does Ridley Scott do such a good job with the original masterpiece despite not properly understanding the original script??? Why is the sequel one of few yet rarest examples of proper send-offs in recent film history (by most film purists)???? We also end up discussing how Total Recall and the Netflix show Altered Carbon both seem to be love letters to this as well (and much, much more!).

S3E26- Blade Runner Franchise Review (Part 1 of 3) (with David Gherman)

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.

S3E25- Janus filmmakers Terence Brown & Elvery Tren Peters

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 avoid the mistakes that most indie filmmakers end up making on their first feature film?? What sets this apart from most cat-and-mous thrillers??? And more epic questions geared towards the character development, film festival screenings and breaking ground in a rather popular yet often formulaic genre!

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

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 NYPD Blue had already conquered this crime subgenre so well? Is it still easily the best edgy show that FX Network has ever done to date?? And what are our personal favorite disturbing moments in this headache-inducing yet altogether brilliantly gripping clusterfuck???

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

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!).

S3E22- actor, filmmaker and web series creator Simon Phillips interview

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 and done???

S3E21- UK Indie Horror filmmakers Adam Leader and Richard Oakes (of the film HOSTS) interview

After you're done celebrating St. Patrick's Day for 2021, hop on in to hear my firsthand discussion with two UK horror filmmakers Adam Leader and Richard Oakes. How is the indie film and festival scene fare there compared to the U.S.? What are the first-hand opinions by critics and audiences for their new film HOSTS?? And what is their gameplan after getting their hands dirty with their explosive debut??? Sit back, enjoy and be prepared to have a colorful yet lively sit-down!

S3E20- Babylon 5 complete franchise review (with Will Johnson of Downbelow- A B5 Podcast)

Will Johnson and I, the B5 mega-fans, discuss how this underrated yet uneasy voyage came about, how it holds up and its relevance today. We cover the films, Crusade spin-off and made-for-video finale film as well after covering the whole 5 season run.

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

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 villain sloppily interjected into the mix??? And will this reboot potentially work or sink despite Jordan Peele's involvement and Tony Todd returning as the character???? Join us for the ultimate franchise takedown!

S3E18- Sinister franchise (with Horror Trio)

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 and enjoy the listen!

S3E17- Ron Howard tribute ep (with Beverly Gray)

Roger Corman crewmember and filmmaking documenting author Beverly Gray joins me for a brief look at her admired pal, Ron Howard. Due to technical difficulties (seamless in the final edit), we didn't get to a conjure up a full chat but we do give a splendid hour of joy and love honoring the man.

S3E16- Maniac Cop Trilogy Takedown (with Liam O'Donnell of Cinepunx)

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 and Robert Davi???

S3E15- All 10 Hellraisers Conqured (with Fellow MSTies)

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've worked better as Twilight Zone/X-Files episodes?? And which ones are just flat-out wretched films as a whole???

S3E14- Underrated Zombie Films (with Daniel Ryan, David Gherman & Robb Antequera)

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???

S3E13- The Top 10 Humphrey Bogart Film Roles (with Anthony Francis)

Anthony Francis (of Widescreen: A Film Discussion Podcast) tackles his first of many episodes on this show by helping me determine our Ten picks for the best characters that Humphrey Bogart brought to life on-screen. 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?? Are any of the Best Movies of All Time picks that he's in also on this list???

S3E12- Anti-Hero Action Shows (with Caomh Mc Gillion)

Pal Caomh joins me for wrapping up the last part of the Prison Break show discussion while also summing up what anti-hero type films and shows are actually appealing. Which ones push boundaries while containing solid concepts? Which ones are preachy or shabbily produced?? And who are the badasses of this generation on our big and small screens???
