The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel

This week's bonus interview is with Producer and Author Nicole Aguilar. Nicole and I actually graduated high school together, so it was great to catch up after all these years.  We talked about how her journey to working in Hollywood began, working on trailers, Technicolor, books she wrote, and so much more. It was awesome catching up with her, picking her brain, and you will absolutely love...

It's Friday the 13th, so we had to choose the most  "2020" installment in the franchise, Jason Goes to Hell.  So New Line buys the rights to Jason and some suit says "Let's do a Jason movie with Jason barely in it!"  This movie had so much to unpack we had to bring back one of our favorite guests Gina (Weekend at Bernie's 2 and Karate Kid 3 reviews).  Prior to this past week, s...

November has a Friday the 13th and we chose the most 2020 Jason film, "Jason Goes to Hell". That led us to this week's guest Madelon Curtis who plays "Officer Ryan" in the movie.

This week we tackled "Amityville II: The Possession" and it has so many moving parts to it that we needed to invite back Chris Egan (TCM3, Fly 2, Return to Sleepaway Camp) to help sort it all out.  It had serious subjects that we touched on but we mostly discussed, Burt Young playing the father role exactly like he played Paulie in Rocky, the house breaking stuff and no one seeming to notice,...

What does Better Off Dead, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Amityville 2, and The Last American Virgin all have in common? This week's guest actress Diane Franklin.  This was a fun one for me to do since I grew up LOVING these movies and Diane.  Diane talked about growing up on Long Island, being on a soap opera, the audition that changed her career, her epic movies, books she has wri...

This sequel is no kiddie film and is one of the worst sequels yet! I watched this as a kid and had fond memories of it that were squashed once I hit play. We had back guest Tom Kiczula (Jason Takes Manhattan and Superbabies 2) to help decipher this movie that Jamie called, "Worse than Munchie." We discussed everything from dolls having blood, the creepy barber, Chucky's one-liners, a different And...

This week I interviewed my 1st Casting Director and I couldn't have been luckier to have chatted with Glenn Daniels.  We reached out to Glenn for 2 of our earliest films, Caddyshack II and Police Academy 6, and I couldn't convince him to say "Yes", but after more emails not giving up, I finally convinced him.  I absolutely LOVED talking to Glenn and how he got started in Hollywood is a w...

Who didn't listen get down to songs like "Right Thurr" and "Holidae In" while partying back in the 2000s? 1st I still listen to those songs and 2nd you have this week's guest Chingy to thank for that amazing music.  Chingy was such a blast to talk to and we covered a lot in the 45 minutes.  We talked about him starting to write music at the age of 6, Snoop Dogg, how "Right Thurr" came to...

Misty was amazing, we talked about how she grew up in a forest, why she started gymnastics, Congo, her amazing credits, The Mandalorian, her singing, and so much more.  The key takeaway fro...

"Live for nothing or die for something." is one of the most iconic lines uttered by Stallone in this week's sequel "Rambo" and trust us A LOT of people died in this movie. Jamie dressed up as Rambo for this video review and Doug looked like a dollar store Rambo knockoff toy.  We discussed the political nature of the film, the gruesome deaths, Doug's bad movie choices for dates, everyone is be...

This week's Bonus interview is with New Jersey's own Billy Van Zandt. Billy is an actor, writer, and playwright. He's acted in Jaws 2, written on hit shows like Newhart, and has written plays on Broadway.  We couldn't cover all of Billy's career in an hour, but he wrote a fantastic book called "Get in the Car, Jane!" that covers it all! We did talk about how he started acting, meeting his wri...

This week I had a great chat with Actor and Singer Matthew Marsden.  Matthew talked about growing up in a small industrial town in England and wanting to be in Hollywood. We talked about everything from his early roles to Black Hawk Down, Michael Caine, Beyonce, and of course next week’s sequel “Rambo”.  You are probably thinking, “Beyonce...huh?”  Yes, Matthew was a singer and had...

Best of the Best 2 was the holy grail of sequels for Doug when he and Jamie started this project 18 months ago, and not only did we get someone from it, we got Eric Roberts. So for a movie that is this badass we needed some help, so Andrew Powers from our "Death Wish 3" review joined us and he did not disappoint. Of course, we discussed if all these guys were really the best of the best, Wayne New...

This special bonus interview is with Adult Film Star Alexis Fawx, who is one of the most popular in her industry.

We are finally doing our 1st boxing sequel and no it is not in the Rocky universe.  It's Teen Wolf Too starring Jason Bateman as Todd Howard who has a "sports" scholarship to box. Well, he doesn't know what sport his scholarship is for until he starts school, yeah pretty wild right? But that is just the tip of the iceberg.  We discussed every single thing that this insane sequel threw at...

I have interviewed a lot of people that were in shows that impacted my childhood, but this week's guest William Bickley is a huge part of a staple from my childhood, T.G.I.F. on ABC.  I have fond memories of my family rushing to the couch to watch.  William talked about his love for TV at a very young and the story about how he made it is exactly how everyone wants their Hollywood dream...
