The Jacked Up Review Show

Another inspiring chat with another brilliant mind and gifted take on the now-changing world of personal fitness as well, Mr. Fackler has come quite far! Performing dangerous physical acting and stunts of many kinds for the Marvel Netflix shows and other primetime action shows like The Blacklist, Blindspot and FBI, he also got to demonstrate car driving and be called back to be many well-known cha...

An exclusive take on two once-rather popular yet rarely discussed shows emerges tonight!  How has St. Elsewhere been remastered for Hulu streaming?

Tune in and get a proper check-up! MAIN LINKS: LinkTree: https:/...

The acclaimed BBC procedural does so many things right but what does it slip up on occasionally? Guest Allan McPherson helps highlight this show but where does it rank alongside the many other hits like The Wire, The Shield, Bosch and Law & Order types?

Jay Skipworth is a film-wrecking machine, always finding the kinds of entertainment that are dense yet so hard to pin down exactly why they play so well with some audiences. This second time guest-starring, he helps me determine what appeals and eventually undermines the once-winning formulas of these two initial signature buddy film franchises.  Does the 48 Hrs. sequel merit a rewatch (if no...

The hosts of Reel Comic Heroes & Never Gets Old podcasts join Paul and I for the visceral yet in-depth world of the cult franchise, Highlander! What is it about this world that made it last this many films, shows, comics and books?

Jon and I must debate about what great, campy, fun and downright quotable shows merit actually being on the IMDb list of Top Shows instead of just the one-time-watches, hyped up mini-series, shows that started out great prior to going downhill and other boring crap that most aren't going to make time for. What can we replace Game of Thrones and Walking Dead with? Just because something is on HBO d...
