The Comeuppance Reviews Podcast

After combing through the Comeuppance Reviews archives, Ty discovered more examples of two (or more) movies having the same title. In this appropriately second - and probably final - installment, we discuss the similarities and differences between said movies. Also there are some classic segments...and did we mention Ty is back from his mysterious sojourn? Tune in...it's double the fun!

Episode 46 is an episode of firsts: it's the first one where Brett flies solo (Ty was on special assignment), the first with none of the traditional segments, and the first one with two interview subjects. But what interview subjects they are! Both Steve and Brad from the fantastic and long-running podcast Stuck in the 80's stop by to talk video store memories and, of course, Stuck in the 80's. It...

What is a "FireFist", you ask? No, sadly it's not a movie that exists that we're aware of. It's just us - Brett and Ty - discussing the "Fire" and the "Fist" movies that we've reviewed on comeuppancereviews.net! While the segments are also onboard, could this be the fond farewell of Cliché of the Day? But it does seem that Should've Been an Action Star will go on, much like our hearts. Just press...

Welcome to the fourth and final (?) episode detailing the high highs and low lows of legendary DTV producers AIP Studios. As our miniseries comes to a close, we do indeed track the hills and valleys of AIP. What movies will be covered? Will it all end with a bang? Tune in to find out...and don't forget the segments Should've Been an Action Star and Cliché of the Day are here too, of course. Check...

Due to the overwhelming response and critical praise for our first No Subject episode, we decided - along with Matt, the Direct To Video Connoisseur - to do a sequel! That's right, the whole notion of having a single subject for a podcast is completely trampled on, and the three of us had a blast doing it. While Hollywood still needs to take note of the many great ideas we pitch, we believe all li...

So many AIP movies, so little time...For this week's episode, we continue our deep dive into the wild n' wacky world of Action International Pictures. There are some low lows, but also some high highs, and of course the segments Cliché of the Day and Should've Been an Action Star that everyone's been clamoring for.

For Episode 41, we complete our trip around the country (and around the world) as we round up the remaining place-named movies. We're flying solo (i.e., there's no special guest) but fear not as the skies are friendly and a good time will be had by all. Throw in some segments and it's all taken down for a smooth landing. Where have we yet to go? Tune in today and find out!

For the momentous occasion that is our 40th episode, we finally decided to do two much-needed things: talk about Chuck Norris, and finally have back on the show Mitch from The Video Vacuum! We discuss the highs and lows of the Chuckster, and we didn't forget to include some of your favorite segments as well. It's a Truckful o' Chuck - don't miss it!

For episode 39, we're talkin' Trimble - that's Jerry Trimble, of course. We couldn't do it without bringing onboard Matt, Direct-To-Video Connoisseur that he is. Golden Boy, as he's known (that would be Trimble, not Matt as far as we know) had a great run in the 90's, and he's still going today. Listen as we decipher the Strangleholds from the Live By the Fists. Your favorite segments are here too...

For episode 38, we take a cross-country flight! Beginning in L.A., we discuss the titles from comeuppancereviews.net that begin with those hallowed letters. On the return journey - which you'll have to stay tuned for - we will get to Miami and all the wonders waiting for us there. What will happen in between? Will other places be discussed? Will segments such as Could've Been an Action Star and Cl...

For Episode 37, we're continuing the discussion about one of our favorite companies - AIP, of course! Which video store classics will we be talking about? Not only are the segments that you know and love here - Should've Been an Action Star and A Bid For Seriousness - but this episode marks a Comeuppance Reviews first! What is it? You'll just have to tune in to find out...

The great Todd Gaines from Bulletproof Action joins us for the sixth installment in our epic series about video store memories!

Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with your podcatcher! We - along with friend of the show Matt, The Direct To Video Connoisseur - decide to go topicless for our big 35th episode. There will be observations, confessions, complaints and grievances - and some surprisingly strong movie pitch ideas! As if all that wasn't enough, we have not only the standard segments, but we debut a new one as well:...

Friend of the show Matt, the Direct to Video Connoisseur, joins us to honor one of our favorite action stars - Richard Norton! Also we have our most-loved segments, Should've Been an Action Star and Cliché of the Day. After all, as the back of the Under the Gun DVD says, "Likable action star Richard Norton..." and as Ty says, "He's Milverstead, bro!" What does it all mean? Tune in now to find out....

With this episode, we launch our multi-part series about Action International Pictures - the VHS label integral to video stores of the time! There are so many movies to cover, just one episode won't be nearly enough. On top of discussing the magic of AIP, the fan favorite segments of Should've Been an Action Star and Cliché of the Day are on board as well. Have a listen!

Sometimes unrelated movies will have the same title, and it can get a bit confusing. On today's episode, we attempt to untangle the differences between Getting Even and...Getting Even. Or Danger Zone and...Danger Zone, amongst other examples. But before all that clarity, we have our favorite segments, Should've Been an Action Star and Cliché of the Day. So let's clear up all the mix-ups together,...

Longtime friend and collaborator Matt, the Direct-To-Video Connoisseur, joins us for our landmark 30th episode - our tribute to Don "The Dragon" Wilson. Where would we all be without Wilson, that mainstay of video store and pay-cable action films? Also included are some pretty surprising choices for the segments, Should've Been an Action Star and Cliché of the Day. So break out your best purple wi...

On today's episode, we discuss one of the titans of DTV action - the great Jeff Wincott! We separate the Street Law from the Martial Law II from the Martial Outlaw, so do have a listen. Also included are our lovable segments, Cliché of the Day, and a rather surprising Should've Been an Action Star. Don't have any Future Fear - press play today!

At one time or another in our lives, we've all asked the same question. You know the one. It's "What does it take to make a meathead?" On this week's episode, Matt, the Direct-To-Video Connoisseur, joins us to unravel this rich, meaty topic. There's so much there, we couldn't do it alone. Anyone who has watched more than a few action movies has doubtlessly seen multiple meatheads, so we break down...

On this particularly rollicking episode, our old buddy and fan favorite Ryan returns so he can share his memories. He wasn't just a video store patron, he was an employee of Tommy K's Video, so we get all the inside dirt. Also we've got our beloved segments, Cliché of the Day and Should've Been an Action Star, featuring some surprise choices by Ryan. A good time was had by all, so give it a listen...

On this week's episode, we celebrate a major name in the world of action stars - the one and only Jeff Speakman! We Speak about the Man you know and love, highlighting his classic and lesser-known works. Also onboard are our Espy-award winning segments, Should've Been an Action Star and Cliché of the Day. After listening to today's show, you'll be an Expert...or at least one of the Hot Boyz. 

Just when you thought you had fought death and conquered it once and for all, along comes the sequel...Death Part 2! That's right, this time we finish off our "Death List" that we started in the previous episode. Not to worry, our classic segments of Should've Been an Action Star and Cliché of the Day are onboard and ready to roll as well. You'll love it to death...again!

Episode 24 is going to be the death of us, as the topic is so big, we had to break it into two parts! That's right, we're tackling the subject of death - the list of movies from our website that start with the word "death", of course. Not to worry, we also have our time-honored segments Cliché Of the Day and Should've Been an Action Star, along with an important announcement for Comeuppance fans a...

Night falls on Episode 23 of the podcast this week...because we're discussing our list of movies that begin with the word 'Night'. Don't worry, there's no need to beware of darkness, as a fun time was had by all. In part that's because our usual world-famous segments Cliché of the Day and Should've Been an Action Star are both included. So, as Joey Tempest (and the rest of Europe) once sang, get r...
