    DTVC Podcast 162, Dermot Double Feature, "Ruthless" and "Lights Out"

    DTVC Podcast 162, Dermot Double Feature, "Ruthless" and "Lights Out"

    Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back, this time for a Dermot Mulroney double feature. First we look at Art Camacho's new one, "Ruthless," which actually has a surprisingly high amount of ruth. Second, we look at the new one from Christian Sesma, "Lights Out," which also has Frank Grillo, Mekhi Phifer, and Scott Adkins. Finally, in our Spotlight on a Fight, we go back to "Sudden Death," where Van Damme fought a woman in a penguin mascot costume.

    DTVC Extra 26, The Star Trek Franchise, "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" and "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn"

    DTVC Extra 26, The Star Trek Franchise, "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" and "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn"

    "DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode we're starting our look at the Star Trek original cast franchise with "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" and "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn." In the first one, we open with a short history of how the show ended, and then its popularity grew, which led to making this film. From there I get into ways the film worked and ways it missed the mark. With the second one, I talk about how this is probably the best Trek film ever--at least it's my favorite.

    DTVC Podcast 161, "Pistol Whipped"

    DTVC Podcast 161, "Pistol Whipped"

    Scott Murphy from All 90s Action, All the Time and New Horror Express is back to discuss another Steven Seagal DTV flick, this time 2008's "Pistol Whipped." Before we do though we get into why recent DTV action hasn't been as solid overall as DTV horror. Then in discussing "Pistol Whipped," we look at all the good, the bad, and the ludicrous of this film--and surprisingly for a Seagal DTV actioner, this has more of the first than the second two.

    DTVC Podcast 160, "Road House" and "Road House"

    DTVC Podcast 160, "Road House" and "Road House"

    In this episode I'm joined once again by Will from Exploding Helicopter, this time to look at the two Road House films. First we look at the original, why it works in spite of itself, how it became a cult classic, and why it endures today. Then we get stuck in on the new version on Amazon. If the first one works so well, why does the second one not capture that magic?



    You can find Will and the Exploding Helicopter podcast on iTunes and other major podcatchers, and you can go to his site, https://www.explodinghelicopter.com/ for all things Exploding Helicopter, including links to social media, like his fantastic Twitter account.

    DTVC Extra 25, The John Wick franchise, "John Wick: Chapter 3," "John Wick: Chapter 4," and "Madame Web"

    DTVC Extra 25, The John Wick franchise, "John Wick: Chapter 3," "John Wick: Chapter 4," and "Madame Web"

    "DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode we're finishing our look at the John Wick franchise. With part 3, I talk about how this is building on the first two; also the performances by Halle Berry and Mark Dacascos. For part 4, I look at the end of the series, the legacy overall, whether or not this is the end, and of course Donnie Yen and Scott Adkins. Finally, we have a bonus segment, where I'll get into my thoughts on "Madame Web."

    DTVC Podcast 159, Madsen MAYhem, "Assault on Hill 400" and "Machine"

    DTVC Podcast 159, Madsen MAYhem, "Assault on Hill 400" and "Machine"

    Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back, this time for "Madsen MAYhem," our Michael Madsen double feature. First we look at "Assault on Hill 400," an Asylum film where Madsen spends most of the time as a WWII general in a tent with William Baldwin. Second, we go back to 2007 for "Machine," a crime drama with Neal McDonough and Oscar winner Nick Vallelonga. Finally, in our Spotlight on a Fight, we look at the end fight from the Dudikoff classic "The Human Shield."

Great show!

Matt and Jamie have a great back and forth. Always entertaining, and even more fun when listening live. It's nice to hear a good action film podcast. A+ entertainment.
