The Jacked Up Review Show

The late great B-movie master who was reknown for post-apocalyptic settings, cyborg characters, work for Cannon Films and other bizarre yet creative low-budget thrillers gets a highlight tonight thanks to comic book creator and podcaster Steven Honeycutt. We also get into tons of fun trivia while highlighting how many of Pyun's films starred B-movie actors like Andrew Divoff (Air Force One, Wi...

In this mini-review episode special, I get to get some acclaim to the criminally underseen horror comedy show, Reginald the Vampire. What kind of vamp movie fans will it appeal to? It is worth seeing if you're into similar stuff like Lost Boys, What We Do in the Shadows and Bloodsucking Bastards? Is it too goofy and going to vary by crowd? How does the Marvel co-star handle being the titular l...

It was time to take a look at AMC TV's latest sleeper hit which was a neat word of mouth cable TV ratings surprise. And since I couldn't take on all this diverse mystery, Navajo themes, writing, casting and spectacular camerawork all by myself, I brought on the co-star of the show, Amelia Rico (who plays the suspicious Navajo witch character, Ada Growing Thunder)!   We get to further detai...

We do another revisit of a cult favorite TV show with new guests and for this themed week, it was only appropriate to highlight another military scifi mystery epic.    Space: Above & Beyond still has loyal followers and it still rediscovered along with other cancelled favorites like Firefly, Dark Matter, Raised by Wolves, The Dead Zone show and Dark Angel! We decided to be the first podcast to...

Tara Erickson drops by to note some stellar encounters at the annual Screamfest & Horrorfest conventions, how she got to balance being in web series, TV movies and other independently produced shorts (which she also scripted and wants to adapt into features via crowdfunding).    How did she get to be her own kind of Scream Queen actress?

We're back once again with more AVP fandom fun!    This time, we get multi-podcast superstar Corey Stevenson back to break down why the first years of the Alien & Predator comic book crossovers by Dark Horse were still rather legendary.   Why do they still fascinate despite some of the writing and plot twists not always delivering?   What other stellar original and movie tie-in comics have...

This time, we describe a different kind of (Krypton) alien: the one and only Superman!   Superman Radio Revisited and DC Superfan Matt Cody helps break down why there are so many other great villains in the Superman verse that need discussing. We talk about all kinds of well known and far more obscure antagonists who made life hell the once seemingly invincible one-man army!    

Another fun geeky chat describing the many tropes, moments and even the Nightbreed crossovers (both in book and comic book format) for the Hellraiser saga.    Why does everyone have to get into countless arguments on which of the sequels is relevant and just leave the dead dog be? Why is the new reiteration a must-see? Why does this philosophy, gothic mood, graphic imagery and shocking mysteries f...

Two lovely guests, two iconic franchises, many awesome moments to sum up!   Should there had been an actual Blade Runner & Terminator crossover with AVP in film/tv format? Which side are you on (if not the colonial marines)? What are some of the harder to find comics to track down now? Why do we find all this slime, hunting and gory mayhem entertaining for the mainstream crowd? And more fun la...

Two special guests, one big day, all while noting our favorite moments from the cinematic styled network TV program known only as THE WEST WING! Is it more brilliant than some politicians give it credit for or is it much like Law & Order/The Daily Show where it's summing up the interesting stuff and justifying its shortcuts in the name of entertainment? Or does everyone just need to shut u...
