The Jacked Up Review Show

I cover the new PopcornFlix produced web series SALVAGE MARINES which is now available on most free streaming sites. Are Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers) and Peter Shinkoda (Daredevil TV show) able to elevate the material? Is it rather attention-getting in its short episode count? While looking bigger than its budget, what main shortcoming needs to be addressed? And more applause for yet anothe...

Gamer Kyla Thornton, Aussie superfan Daniel Lewis & Talking SMAC Podcast host Josh Skaar all stop by to sum up the good, the bad, the ugly & the bizarre videogames based on the various incarnations of LORD OF THE RINGS! Why did the Gollum game flop so bad? Which of the movie tie-ins were really addicting? Which of the original ones based on the novels offered tons of worldbuilding and whic...

In this sitdown with indie filmmaker Josh Monkarsh, we get to discuss his zombie comedy As We Know It, how underrated communication is, the perfect compromise to shot scripts versus storyboarding, pitch meetings, working with investors and how to avoid disparaging critical reviews to your mid-budget movies!

Daniel & Jak (the Jurassic Fans Podcast duo) return once more and this time, we're talking about the original Michael Crichton JURASSIC PARK novels as well as the short-lived JURASSIC WORLD book tie-ins. Why do these surprisingly have a large number of bad reviews despite the initial positive reception by critics and readers? What are the major movie changes that many will notice? Are thes...

This trio (Kathy Bright, Josh Hansen & Filmmaker Rick Ives) sit down to sum up the crazily bizarre FAST & FURIOUS franchise. How many more of these will Universal churn out?

Watch If You Can podcast duo Liam & Dave sum up the many programs that are popular in the U.K. but not the U.S. (and vice-versa). Did you know that King of the Hill, 24 & Frasier had a huge U.K. following? Why do some U.S. viewers assume many U.K. viewers are up to speed on Spooks, Ted Lasso & Sherlock just based on association? All that and other differences on how programming is comp...

Alessandra Jacobs (Happiest Sad Person Podcast) returns and this time, we try to make sense of the most amusing yet poorly run law firm setting on BOSTON LEGAL. Why is Alan Shore a danger to himself and others? Why does Denny Crane give Donald Trump a run for his money in terms of ruining everyone else's fun? What recent online quotes and using episode clips to illustrate recent political even...

Disc-Connected’s Ryan Verrill stops by to sum up, describe & make extra clear the moments that propelled the U.S. version of TV's THE OFFICE to the comedic masterpiece it rightfully claims.

Harry Rutner (Chuckin' A Sickie Podcast) drops by to address a Jim Carrey television satire double feature of THE CABLE GUY and THE TRUMAN SHOW.

And more deep cultural dives into experimental cinema!...

TV viewer and forensics dept. vet Lila Morrill hops by to describe what THE CLOSER/MAJOR CRIMES TV franchise gets right about policework. What does this show do differently than the other HOMICIDE & NYPD BLUE cash-ins? Why despite all the acclaim did it never seem to be as big an audience draw as CSI, L&O, BONES & CRIMINAL MINDS? Are these some of the best roles for the main ensemble i...
