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???

S3E11- Prison Break Complete Series Review (with Billi G)

 

My best bud Billi G. Meskel (who's also a superfan of this show) helps me tackle the five current seasons of the hit show Prison Break. What would the announced sixth season (which coincidentally got far more detailed days after we originally recorded this!) look like? What was the direct to video filler film like (despite its lying "Final Break" title)?? Why is everyone so mixed on this Fugitive/24 type franchise??? Are these deadly assassins rejects from The Bourne Identity-Manchurian Candidate????

Special Ep 2- Is Film School Worth a Damn Anymore_ (with Filmmaker Tori Rice)

Filmmaking colleague and pal Tori Rice stops by as we recollect wether any of us got anything personally from film related college courses. What is the word on the street regarding other nationwide film schools? How many of those who made it got proper connections as opposed to lucking out?? Which ones would any of us actually recommend or have heard about a university that's been really recommended???

S3E10- Spongebob Squarepants overview (with Reels of Justice Podcast)

Ryan Luis Rodriguez (of the podcasts Reels of Justice and The Coolness Chronicles) remarks how Spongebob Squarepants changed the landscape of Nickelodeon cartoon programming from the late '90s to early '00s. When did the show become less appealing once the creator took off? How many seasons was it actually on?? Were any of the feature length movies actually memorable???

S3E9- Underrated Giallo Ep1 (with The Nightmare Nerd!)

Daniel "Nightmare Nerd" Ryan joins me to discuss the history and recent discoveries of the Giallo subgenre. The first of hopefully many other episodes from this point forth!

S3E8- Jeepers Creepers & Final Destination Series (with Action Movie Freak) Pt 2 of 2

Helen Gynell (of Action Movie Freak) helps me tackle two different sagas. Which franchise was arguably more popular? Helen was at the private one-night-only screening of Jeepers Creepers 3 and how was it audience reaction-wise?? And which of the Final Destinations actually had both memorable deaths and solid characters to root for???

S3E7- Jeepers Creepers & Final Destination Series (with Action Movie Freak) Pt 1 of 2

Helen Gynell (of Action Movie Freak) helps me tackle two different sagas. Why are so many divided on these two sagas? Was this one of the rarer '00s franchises that appealed to numerous audiences?? How well or bad did it combine '80s style tropes in with newer tropes of the time???

S3E5- Phantasm Cincology Takedown

Shawn, Robb & I do our darnedest to truck through all 5 films. How many of these are easier to get thru if you're a super fan as opposed to a newcomer? Is this all one extended Twilight Zone type anthology?? Why are the sequels more divided among the fanbase than the typical Hellraiser sequel??? And more to come of course!

S3E4- The Top 10 Best Looney Tunes Movies (with John Potoky)

Johnny Potoky (Attack of the B-Movies) joins me to tackle some of the better Looney Tunes films (most of which were made for television or theatrically distributed). How many of them suffer from too much stock footage and awkward new filler footage that doesn't match up? How many of them actually are good stand-alone films (regardless of prior knowledge)?? Why is it cool for some to bash the '90s classic Space Jam nowadays??? It's time to slam!

S3E3- Scooby-Doo Franchise's 10 Best Films

The trio teamed up for the first big group episode of Season 3. Why does this franchise appeal so much to each generation and which are the best films of the saga to introduce to each audience?

Special Ep 1- Is the Theater Experience REALLY Worthwhile Anymore?

I decide to dissect why so many prefer the actual film theater experience compared to high-def Blu-Ray and 4k remastering. How often is it worthwhile to seek out cinema in the theater as opposed to waiting for home media or the HBO premium channel/Netflix experience instead? And more to follow for this special ep. Do you actually lose something from not being around giant thundering speakers or is it all just hyped-up nostalgia??
