The Jacked Up Review Show

JJ & Tom drop by once again to discuss why drive-in, Skinemax era and new European knock-offs of one B-movie formula keep occuring in all parts of the world. Sometimes, these films have Kung Fu, other times they got spies, zombies & are set in outer space but they ALWAYS have Emmanuelle in them! Aside from this NSFW topic, be entertained by us discussing how many bizarre, whacky yet rather...

There's nothing but shocking subject matter this week as we go deepering into the retro pop culture rabbit hole!

I do a spotlight on sound mixer-turned-music composer Sean Callery. How many catchy tunes are on the 24 TV show soundtrack?

Why did Jessica Jones & La Femme Nikita get a soundtrack release yet Designated Survivor, Homeland, Bones & Halo still don't have any tracks available to stream? All tha...

Jason Hemming (Cinema Recall Podcast) joins me to highlight the career of the late great composer Shirley Walker.   How many forget that the American Society of Composers, Authors & Publishers Award was created in her honor?   Being a protege of the likes of Hans Zimmer & Danny Elfman, which score of her's shines the brightest?    Besides being one of the few female composers, how rare...

As part of our "theme," we start off by summarizing the illustrious career of film composer Alan Silvestri (including playing a pitch-perfect interview of his by BMI Music).

All that and which awards he's been grac...

I'm joined by Trevor Smigelski (from Theater of War Podcast) to detail the WW2 mini-series trilogy by Tom Hanks & Spielberg's production studios.

Partner-in-crime Jon Mark rejoins to help highlight two addicting thriller shows: Hulu's SHUT EYE and HBO's BARRY. Why is it so hard to find a perfect show to binge despite lesser episodes?
