The Comeuppance Reviews Podcast

The whole One Dark Fright gang - Rebecca, Tim, and Ainslie - join us as we embrace our dark side - and just in time for the Halloween season! Well, okay, it may be August 31st, but it's never too early (or too late) to watch a horror film. With that in mind, a whole host of Top Fives are coming your way - each more terrifying than the last! Or, something like that. Enjoy the show!

In what may be the first in a series of Hangouts, we're joined by our friend and former Best Video co-worker Iain! Having been dubbed "The Bad Boys of Best Video" because of our rogue and unorthodox ways, all three boys reunite for this landmark episode. It gets extra tangenty, even by our standards, but we can tell you this...the boys are back in town!

The DTV Digest's Richard Hawes returns as we discuss one of our favorite people - the great Scott Adkins! We've each done a top five, so find out today which Adkins classics are on our movie-watching plate. Will there be overlap between our two lists, or will the always-informative Mr. Hawes have choices different from our own? There's only one way to find out...hit the play button as hard as Boyk...

It's the tenth installment of Video Store Memories! For this momentous occasion, we are joined by the wonderful Ainslie Pompey from the One Dark Fright podcast. What memories will be uncovered? What revelations will come to light? And just how laffy IS the taffy? All questions will be answered, and then some, in our latest classic episode! 

Longtime collaborator Matt, the DTVC, returns for the long-awaited yet somehow much-maligned fifth installment of the fan-favorite series that we like to call No Subject! Are there REALLY no subjects? Or is it loaded with brilliant ideas from start to finish? You be the judge!

Johann Chipol and Edward Harvey from the Trash Tapes podcast join us for the ninth installment of our illustrious Video Store Memories series! It's a wide-ranging discussion - what's good? What's bad? We ask the experts and get some surprising answers. So tune in now for some more revelations!

Rebecca and Tim from the One Dark Fright podcast are our guests for the eighth installment of Video Store Memories! They share their recollections of video stores past, big chains vs. Mom and Pop, and so much more...and WHAT is the secret of the Crazy Bread? Tune in to find out!

It's time to listen to the modern-day equivalent of 1-800-DAVID as we discuss the illustrious career of one David Heavener! Heavener was a mainstay of DTV in the 80's and 90's, and a true renaissance man: acting, producing, writing, directing, music, and, of course, he had his own hotline. How many others can say that? The segments are here too, of course. So let's all climb the stairway together,...

We're going over the line and under the radar on today's episode! Discussing all the over movies, and, yes, all the under movies on comeuppancereviews.net, we discover some surprising connections. What do a video game about shoving boxes across a floor, a guy in a kangaroo suit, and learning how to avoid the Noid all have in common? If there is anything, you'll have to listen to this week's episod...

Longtime friend/collaborator Matt - The Direct-To-Video Connoisseur - joins us for a discussion about one of our favorite faces in DTV - the legendary Robert Z'Dar! Our wide-ranging talk encompasses two disparate top-five lists, and perhaps a few other surprises. So strap in, hold on, and get ready for an earful about one of the greats of the genre!

Are you ready for the ULTIMATE MAXIMUM experience? Well, it's really just us, your humble, regularly-scheduled podcast, but what we're talking about today is the Ultimate! And the Maximum!...movies from the website, comeuppancereviews.net. So slam* a few Mountain Dews and snowboard out of a helicopter as you blast this episode from your iPod! Enjoy everybody! * One does not "drink" Mountain Dew. O...

What better way to celebrate the great Fred "The Hammer" Williamson's birthday than to invite Matt, The Direct To Video Connoisseur, onto the pod to discuss some Fred and do our top fives? We end up tackling two eras of the man's career and a great discussion was had by all. We didn't forget the segments as well. So break out your best cigar, kick back, and enjoy!

How's the weather today? Here at Comeuppance Reviews HQ, it's sunny with a chance of ACTION! That's right, the weather-based episode you've always wanted is finally here! Ty has searched the website archives and come up with some titles that include weather words, and we're all the better for it. So, no matter what your forecast is, hit play today!

Looking for the perfect out? Well, you found it, as this week's episode is all about the Perfect movies and the Out movies from comeuppancereviews.net! Along with that, we've got TOG spotlight, and a first-ever combination Bid For Seriousness/Should've Been an Action Star. They say nobody's perfect - but what about the movies under discussion today? Don't just zone out...find Out today!

It's combination time again! For this week's episode, we discuss, as you already may have surmised, the "Raw" and the "Rage" movies from comeuppancereviews.net. While, generally speaking, raw rage is something that could be scary, here there is nothing to fear - a fun time was had by all. Will there be segments? Highly likely. Will Brett or Ty fly into a RAW RAGE? You'll just have to tune in to fi...

Happy New Year, everybody! For the momentous occasion of the first day of 2022, we present to you the fourth installment of the No Subject series - and, of course, what would a No Subject episode be without Matt, the Direct To Video Connoisseur? For a supposedly subjectless episode, we cover a wide variety of topics: ideas are born, deep insights are had, and, hopefully, we all have some fun along...

From the people who brought you Red Raiders - i.e., us - comes the latest "combination episode": Operation Angel! That's right, this time around we discuss all the movies from comeuppancereviews.net that start with the word Operation, and the word Angel. Also, Ty has an Alex Cross update, some new action stars are uncovered, and a fun time was had by all. Dare you undergo the operation? 

Welcome to the third and last (?) installment of our 'Double' series, and this time you'll be hearing double! No, it's not an audio glitch (hopefully) - this time around we're discussing all the movies from Comeuppance that start with the word "Double" (the prior eps were movies with the same title). There are segments, discussion, and fun. Will it be doubly entertaining? You be the judge!

What the heck is a Red Raider? Is it some kind of sci-fi Indiana Jones knockoff? Not exactly - it's the Comeuppance boys discussing the "Red" and the "Raiders" movies from the comeuppancereviews.net website. Who else is delivering this kind of original content? It's all preceded by our highly praised segments. So let's not keep the suspense going any longer - find out who the Red Raiders are today...

Be On the LookOut for Bolo Yeung, the man of the hour for episode 52! He's such an integral figure in the world of action, we thought we'd invite long-time guest and collaborator Matt, the Direct-To-Video Connoisseur, to help us out with this one. We both provide a top five Bolo list, and on top of that, there just may be some extra surprises in store. Put on your favorite Bolo tie, kick back, and...

For episode 51, we honor one William W. Blanks - AKA Billy - a man with an amazing repertoire of action classics under his (Seventh Degree Black) belt! And, along the way, there will be some segments, some surprises, and maybe some laughs will be had. Is he Tough? Is he Deadly? Will he be Back in Action? We try to fill in the blanks to find out! 

It's our fiftieth episode spectacular! For such a momentous occasion, we thought a special guest was in order, so naturally Matt, the Direct To Video Connoisseur, stops by. What better way to celebrate than to do another installment of the much-requested "No Subject" series? Everything is on the table and no subject is allowed as we discuss a wide range of topics. What comes up during the course o...

What do you get when you mix a discussion of the movies starting with the word "white" with a discussion of the movies starting with the word "Karate" from comeuppancereviews.net? Why, that would be White Belt, of course! We run the gamut from Sam Jones to Jay Roberts, Jr. along the way. And we haven't forgotten about your favorite segments either. Dare you enter the dojo? Have a listen today!

For this week's episode, we're awash in a sea of sequels - but the main thing we're doing is asking why...why...WHY?!??? Our curiosity is piqued and our brains are befuddled by some rather odd sequels that only could have appeared during the video store era. What are they? Tune in to find out. WHY are they? We do our best to figure it out. Of course, we'd be remiss if we didn't include our lovely...
