The Jacked Up Review Show

Oreo & Luke both return but, in this surprising sexy episode (just in time for Valentine's Day), we discuss the one thing that unites all mankind: hardcore porn and the Top 100 stars of that genre who deserve all your love (if not lust)! It's amusing, outrageous and altogether rather laid-back amusing (like it should be!) as after we're done, then we start listing other famous people who we're...

Since we're discussing Louis Gossett Jr. this week in Black History Month, I'd figure I'd let loose with a brief solo review of his TV movies, The Inspectors!

JJ returns and is grand as always, summing up the beloved appeal of an acclaimed cult icon: Louis Gossett Jr.! What are some recent projects of his that have been amusing send-ups of his famous movie roles? What are some great TV movies he made later in the 80s and 90s? What recent health problems are apparent in some of his recent appearances? And more pat on the backs to this movie legend! MAIN...

Actor/comedian/podcast host Marshall Givens leaves bigger impressions on how random the world of entertainment is, let alone getting booked on so many diverse projects while configuring it with your personal family life. We've interviewed many members of the Who Would Win podcast club but this one is truly special as it goes beyond just how they got started and their own brand of advice but Mr. Gi...

Hip-Hop superfan Mark Shaver returns but this time we're not discussing Hong Kong action cinema, martial arts or videogames, we're just doing one of many full disclosures on a music artists' influential career: tonight's topic is the one and only 2Pac Shakur! Would he had actually been elected President given his dedicated fanbase? What did he REALLY represent the west coast despite being born on...

Guests Chris, John & Tim all join me in summarizing the highlights of two key UK crime shows: the addicting gritty cat-and-mouse procedural Luther and the rise-to-power drug kingpin tale, Top Boy! Don't miss how we contrast all these Black cop/gangster shows with other addicting character studies (of which this will also appeal to said fans) like Oz, Sopranos, Sons of Anarchy/Mayans, Power fra...

Jon is back once more to highlight the ever-beloved character actor favorite that is Ernie Hudson! Beloved for his film roles in Ghostbusters, Leviathan, Congo, Hand That Rocks the Cradle, The Substitute, Miss Congeniality and The Crow, his recurring TV roles on Oz, Law & Order, St. Elsewhere, Rizzoli & Isles, Grace & Frankie, City on a Hill, The Family Business and the new Quantum Lea...

For the first time in awhile, we decided to hit home on some other cult B-movies and tonight it's in the form of the whacky direct to video espionage thrill-less thrillers, The Locator! Which of these two dorky films has the best unintentionally funny movie death? Are they actually styled to be like The Art of War/Bourne Identity or is that just a cheap looking DVD cover? What other crap has Maver...

You listeners get another delicious cookie from the cookie jar in the form of an awesome indie Horror filmmaker interview! Director/writer/producer/actor/cinematographer Thomas Smith talks about growing up with action figures, playing around with camera lens rentals, filming on BlackMagic cameras, watching Jaws as a kid & also shares stories about the film studies classes at the University of...

For the first of two James Bond showcase editions of the podcast, we brought on Troy Howarth (who's voice you might've heard on many Blu Ray commentaries, who's blog posts you might have seen shared and who's Giallo and international film knowledge is beyond extensive). As a whole, while we politely vary on the highs and lows of the 007 film saga, one thing is certain: anyone who portrayed the tit...

in her first of many appearances, Amanda Kohlhofer (The Sip List podcast!) notes how the '90s era in cinema goes for so much surreal, edgier experimenting, alternate film distribution deals and even throwbacks to retro cinema. How much of the demand for risk taking cinema mirrors the increase in videostores, primetime television being more ballsy and frontline news making its way into some pop cul...

After hearing some voicemails left by both Neil Lamoi and Gaz & Dave Pierce (The Insanely Dangerous Retro Podshow), The Movie Rankers' James & Colin to showcase why the everchanging 1980s in cinema truly left audiences with more options, more party friendly movies, more crowdpleasers and more infamous yet cheesy popcorn flicks.

Jason (Genre Exposure) returns once more to reiterate the highlights of the experimental '60s cinema to the gruesome, gritty and occasionally morbid '70s drive-in circuits, gory blockbusters and shocking melodramas. We hope you enjoy this series of takes on the cinema by era showcase and don't worry there shall be more this week! MAIN LINKS: LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/JURSPodcast Facebook Page: h...

Mike Messier talks about his many travels, different independent film experiences (including how an extensive unmade movie had to just get edited together as a documentary about said unmade film) and other tips and tricks that kept him going and refusing to quit in the cutthroat moviemaking world! Listen in for this uncanny yet cheerful story, especially if you just want some creative inspiration...

After the always wonderful Mike Friedrich leaves some voicemails on the special flavor now missing in today's world that the Technicolor '40s and the dramatically charming '50s pictures provided, I sit down with Jay Ledbetter (InSession Film) to illustrate the special moments, charismatic actor-driven pieces and large-scale crane shots laden in both eras of cinema! Why are some movies just difficu...

Joe Lawler & Russ Robinson (Infectious Groove podcast) join the party tonight to highlight various actors who thought they could pull off rapping about life, attempting a rock music garage band or try their hand at a pop/disco inferno style Top 40 radio hit. Who pulled it off and who just became a laughing stock amongst the media? Find out the happy (and occasionally laughably sad) answers ton...

The tricky yet deceptively fun low budget Canadian film Cube, its sequel, prequel and thoughts on the remake all transpire during tonight's episode! Why didn't this cross over with The Matrix, Phantasm or Star Trek? Why does it really appeal for both scifi and horror genre fanboys? Can this kind of rare creativity TRULY be replicated nowadays? And what conventions do fans for the movies often appe...

Antonio Palacios (The Cultworthy Podcast) hops aboard to detail the many well known, lesser known and other "That guy!" actors who are often seen on the big and small screen portraying murderous loan sharks, organized gangster leaders, playing authority figures arresting gangbangers or other crime genre roles/tough guy stereotypes that they were just so perfect to portray! Which ones should be big...

Author Lynsey G returns for another fun look at another comedic actor and heavy metal music artist in the form of Jack Black! What is an ideal role that he hasn't taken on yet? Has he had a good straightfaced role yet or is it still rather minuscule? What other films do audiences often forget he was in given his wide range of credits? Any more cartoon and videogame voice-overs we might expect from...
