14 Months Apart

The celebration of black sheep continues with episode 3 of the Steal My Name Podcast. This week I take a look at the underrated 5th entry in the Nightmare On Elm Street series: The Dream Child. Was it a rushed production schedule, MPAA meddling, or franchise fatigue that caused this one to be passed over by many fans? Join me as I delve into all things Freddy. The DS9 re-watch moves onto episode 3...

With Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe kicking off this year, what better time to revisit the middle child in The Avengers family. Age Of Ultron was considered the black sheep of the Avengers family upon release but in episode 2 of The Steal My Name Podcast I discuss how it turned out to be one of the critical lynchpins for the entire Infinity Saga. My DS9 rewatch continues with episode 2,...

On the first episode of the Steal My Name Podcast I take a spoiler filled look at the newest Star Wars, The Rise Of Skywalker. And I have to stress, SPOILERS!!!! If you haven't seen the flick yet I would advise against listening or skip to about the 50 min mark. From one star to another my re-watch of Deep Space Nine kicks off with a look at the pilot episode, Emissary. It all wraps up with the bo...

Christmas may be over but at 14 Months Apart we’re still celebrating. To wrap up our holiday content we’ve had to bring in some help, the very person that is responsible for us being 14 months apart: our Mom! Join us as we look at two Christmas movies that fall at the opposite ends of the cinematic spectrum: White Christmas and Black Christmas (1974). Both of these films are holiday classics for v...

The holiday season is here so we’re starting the month with the most obvious double bill that we could think of: Die Hard and Hallmark’s Snowed Inn Christmas… wait what? The subject of endless debate as to whether it actually is a Christmas movie (hint, it is) Die Hard is a bona fide action classic that forever changed how action films are made. Hallmark movies are an industry to themselves but fo...

For our eleventh episode we’ve decided to try something new. Welcome to our first swing at something we’re calling, State Your Case. Here’s how the game works: each of us has selected a TV show (Jane The Virgin for Jack and Star Trek Deep Space Nine of Bob) and we get to show the other person the pilot and one hand picked episode that we feel represents the show at its best. Based on those two epi...

Welcome to episode 10! For this milestone we wanted to do something big and it doesn’t get much bigger than George A. Romero’s Dawn Of The Dead. Despite being a classic, and Jack being a fan of the remake and a zombie nut and possibly her brothers favourite film (it flip flops with the Phantasm series for the top spot), it’s a film that she hadn’t actually sat down and watched. So for this episode...

Whether it’s snakes, spiders, puppets, or creepy kids, what scares a person is highly subjective. The same thing goes for which films that person finds scary. A movie that might have freaked you out as a child may not bother you at all as an adult. A flick that you still find horrifying may be laughable to someone else; it’s intensely subjective and that’s part of the fun. With All Hallows’ Eve ju...

Halloween is here and that means it’s time for all the horror movies that you can handle! To kick of the month we’re looking at John Carpenter’s Apocalypse Trilogy. Each of these three films, The Thing, Prince Of Darkness, and In The Mouth Of Madness looks at the end of the world from a different perspective, whether it’s an shape shifting alien invader, the Devil himself, or the Old Gods hell ben...

When it comes to books and movies that changed our lives, for Jack, there is nothing bigger than Jean M. Auel’s 1980 bestseller, Clan Of The Cave Bear. It was a book that inspired her to a career in teaching anthropology, kicked off an entire genre of historical fiction, and led to a film adaptation that was… well, it was a film. Join us as we discuss the fascinating yet, at times, perplexing nove...

September is here and that means back to school, fall, and most importantly, Jack's birthday. To kick off a month of birthday festivities we're looking at the cultural juggernaut that was James Cameron's Titanic. Join us we discuss the impact that it had on... well, just about everyone in the world in those long lost days of 1997. And we promise not to spoil the ending.

For our fifth episode we are looking at all things Oz... well, most things Oz. Join Jacqueline and Bob as they wander down the yellow brick road and discuss the 1939 classic, The Wizard of Oz, and the sadly overlooked sequel, 1985's Return To Oz. So grab on your ruby slippers, assemble the royal army, and never forget to keep an eye out for lion and tigers, and bears! Enjoy!

Episode 4 Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas by The Steal My Name Podcast

Join Jacqueline and Bob as they take a bite out of one of the biggest franchises of all time, Jurassic Park! While they both agree on the near perfection that is Jurassic Park, they diverge (big surprise) on how they view the soft-reboot, Jurassic World. Joining them this week is their first guest, Jacqueline's 12 year old son, Logan Sword. He joins in the discussion to give some perspective on ho...

In this episode Jacqueline and Bob discuss 'line in the sand films.' Movies that made such an impact that it directly effected who they became as writers and people. For Jacqueline it was the work of the Bard, for Bob, it was a maligned sequel to a horror classic. Join them as they trace how these films have changed their lives, and yes, it gets a little over dramatic.

In our first episode we discuss O.T. Nelson's book, The Girl Who Owned A City and how it inspired our life long obsessions with post apocalyptic fiction and the jarring politics that flew right over our heads as kids. From their we go to the other end of the intensity spectrum with a look at one of the most brutal films ever made about nuclear war, Mick Jackson's Threads.
