Dtvc Podcast

This week Jamie and I look at "Back in Action" for our tribute to the late Roddy Piper. In addition to the film, we talk about his career and contributions, and how much he'll be missed.

With Jamie working, I did two short solo episodes this week, the first looking at Tekken 2. Did this sequel rectify the mistakes of the first, or make them worse?

For the second of two short solo pods this week, I looked at the 80s TV movie, "Fatal Vision", starring Karl Malden, Eva Marie Saint, and Gary Cole.

In this episode, Jamie and I look at "El Gringo", which means "The Gringo" in Spanish. Is the movie as bad as that joke? Or is Scott Adkins enough to overcome the film's flaws?

In this episode, Jamie and I are "Walkin' to New Orleans" with the late Paul Walker in "Hours". Do we keep our streak of good movies in tact, or does it end tonight? (Note, we had some tech problems in the first 15 minutes, but we fixed them.)

The streak continues! Three films in a row that Jamie and I both enjoyed. Before you tune in next week to see if we make it to four, check out this pod to see why we both enjoyed "High Lane" so much.

In this episode, Jamie and I discuss "Zombeavers", and how the key to its success is that the people making it actually tried-- what a crazy concept!

In this episode Jamie and I discuss "The Prince", starring Jason Patric, Bruce Willis, and John Cusack-- and you know what, we both enjoyed it!

Get out your saw bucks and your hay pennies, as Jamie and I look at the Asylum mockbuster stinker Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombie. We suffer so you don't have to.

With Jamie unable to do the show tonight, I went solo for 35 minutes and discussed "Force of Execution", the one I did in my ill-fated second episode a year ago-- which was never posted here in the archives. Hopefully I fared better this time!

In this episode Jamie and I look at the Peter Weller DTV classic, and I realize the hard way that some films don't get better with age.

In this episode, Jamie and I look at "The November Man", or "L'homme Novembre", or "Der November Mann", or "El hombre noviembre", or "o homem novembro". However you say it, the verdict is the same in any language: "Zzzzzzzzzzzzz".

This is the remaining 13 minutes or so that I couldn't fit into part 1.

In this episode, Jamie's beau Brian Sammons joins us to discuss Robowar, and we make up for making him watch a Lifetime movie-- also we make up for all the stinkers he's had to watch with Jamie as a result of our show. We also discuss why this movie works where its modern counterparts fail. (We went a little long, so the last 13 minutes are on a second part.)

In this episode, the DTVC podcast turns 40 by looking at the Golan-Globus/Cannon/Michael Dudikoff/ninja classic. We also wonder why they don't make 'em like this anymore.

The DTVC pod is back and Jamie and I discussing "Wolf Cop", a film so good that we didn't have any long digressions while we were discussing it. Hoooowwwlll!

A week late-- but not a dollar short, because the show is free-- Jamie and I look at April Fools Day, and we do our darnedest to stay on topic.

In this episode, Jamie and I look at Uwe Boll's take on the '08 financial crisis, and also look at him as a film maker and how far he's come-- or hasn't come. Also, it looks like the audio issues with volume and Jamie's volume have been worked out.

In this episode, Jamie and I look at "Open Windows", an Elijah Wood film that is nothing like the "Rear Windows" it's compared to.

In this episode, Jamie and I look at "Drive Hard", and Jamie gives it a full Mainer positive recommendation.
