The Jacked Up Review Show

Helen Gynell (of Action Movie Freak) helps me tackle two different sagas. Which franchise was arguably more popular? Helen was at the private one-night-only screening of Jeepers Creepers 3 and how was it audience reaction-wise?? And which of the Final Destinations actually had both memorable deaths and solid characters to root for??? #JackedUpReviewShow #Podcast #FinalDestination #JeepersCreepers...

Helen Gynell (of Action Movie Freak) helps me tackle two different sagas. Why are so many divided on these two sagas? Was this one of the rarer '00s franchises that appealed to numerous audiences?? How well or bad did it combine '80s style tropes in with newer tropes of the time??? #JackedUpReviewShow #Podcast #FinalDestination #JeepersCreepers #Horror #Action #Franchises #Fantasy #Creeper #Cheati...

Johnny Potoky and I tackle some whacky campy beach films, including some with musical and spy film elements(!). #JackedUpReviewShow #Podcast #Beach #Party #Campy #Spy #Musicals #RogerCorman #StagePlays #PsychoBeachParty #Espionage #Songs #RaquelWelch #Camp #Mindless #Silly #Surfing

Shawn, Robb & I do our darnedest to truck through all 5 films. How many of these are easier to get thru if you're a super fan as opposed to a newcomer? Is this all one extended Twilight Zone type anthology?? Why are the sequels more divided among the fanbase than the typical Hellraiser sequel??? And more to come of course! #JackedUpReviewShow #Podcast #Phantasm #SciFi #Horror #Action #Fantasy...

Johnny Potoky (Attack of the B-Movies) joins me to tackle some of the better Looney Tunes films (most of which were made for television or theatrically distributed). How many of them suffer from too much stock footage and awkward new filler footage that doesn't match up? How many of them actually are good stand-alone films (regardless of prior knowledge)?? Why is it cool for some to bash the '90s...

The trio teamed up for the first big group episode of Season 3. Why does this franchise appeal so much to each generation and which are the best films of the saga to introduce to each audience? ##JackedUpReviewShow #Podcast #ScoobyDoo #Horror #Mystery #Comedy

I decide to dissect why so many prefer the actual film theater experience compared to high-def Blu-Ray and 4k remastering. How often is it worthwhile to seek out cinema in the theater as opposed to waiting for home media or the HBO premium channel/Netflix experience instead? And more to follow for this special ep. Do you actually lose something from not being around giant thundering speakers or is...

The second mini-segment tackles the Japanese action-crime films, Zero Women. Similar to La Femme Nikita and based on a Manga but does it actually entertain at the end of the day? Let's find out the hard way! #JackedUpReviewShow #Podcast #ZeroWomen

The first of numerous multi-franchise mini-reviews starts up for 2021! After a previously grim year, I decided to keep on track tackling numerous other underseen or partially heard of franchises, determine if it was of any merit to begin with and keep it shorter than other mini-reviews. Rest Stop (2006) was a weird combo of Strangeland, Duel and The Hitcher but despite it being the first installme...

We rank the ten most unconventional Christmas movies to watch this holiday season that while set during that holiday aren’t always watched during this time. And to be fair, we did bring some absolute garbage to watch half the time! The ones we picked are: Silent Night Deadly Night 5, Cobra, It’s a Wonderful Life, Gremlins, Batman Returns, Krampus, The Sound of Music, The Nightmare Before Christmas...

On a mad scientist worthy experiment, we decide to do some covers of hit songs while pulling a Weird Al/Richard Cheese by adding our own take: sing them in the style of William Shatner. Given the out-of-control nature of this, impressions of George Takei, Jimmy Stewart and Sean Connery occur from time-to-time. We also do a brief history as to how we were introduced to this cult icon, wether he’s t...

Ricardo Paige and Ryan Rodriguez both return once again to discuss a show that impacted us all (as well as million others). A show that used Alfred Hitchcock mystery, Die Hard and West Wing type thrills, more running than The Fugitive, more bomb disarming than Speed and even stock footage from Air Force One and Enemy of the State(!). we examine two seasons at a time why this show lasted ten season...

Ricardo Paige and Robb Antequera (The Cinema Drunkie) and I attempt to cast our own Star Trek movie after giving our overall pros and cons on the entire franchises and since the rivalry apparently still exists between that and Star Wars, we occasionally make other amusing observations on both franchises. Saddle up, laugh yourself to death (especially at the B-movie and cult film references) and en...

Remember when Ryan, Wayne and Greg were seemingly in just about everything on TV if they weren’t doing voice-overs or singing? What the hell did Colin and Clive do after this?? Remember the outrageous cartoons, horror movies and kids movies that some of the other guys like Jeff, Chip, Drew and even Mike McShane were in??? But wait, there’s more: we also round up some of what they’re probably more...

We talk about this hit franchise, it’s other spin-offs (Chicago Fire/P.D./Med/Justice; FBI & FBI: Most Wanted), it’s crossovers with Homicide: Life on the Street and its overall impact on TV. We discuss it’s mostly friendly rivalries with other crime shows like NYPD Blue and CSI; its social arguments that are similar to 24; its groundbreaking documentary-style camerawork; and rank the highligh...

Talking about one of everyone’s favorite comedic singers, talk show hosts and parody specialist, we sum up ten songs that easily rank as his best works to date. We also talk about movie soundtracks he appeared on, other comedian collaborations and his rare original written entries. #JackedUpReviewShow #Podcast #WeirdAlYankovic #SelfDeprecating #RodneyDangerfield #ParodySongs #WordCrimes #Fat #Bad...

I’m joined by My Horrific Life podcaster and blogger Erica Wright. We also talk about about actor Andrew Divoff since she’s the social media coordinator for said actors’ Facebook. We mention the various fan encounters we’ve both encountered firsthand as well as commonly heard of, why it’s mostly unique and just flat out whacky as a whole. At the end of this, we hope you, the listener, can determin...

Rising indie star Braden D. White and I are joined by American Ninja 4’s Kely McClung who also talks about his various internationally planned projects while we note how behind the scenes martial arts fighting has inevitably changed and detailing other outrageous stories that could’ve only happened when they did. #JackedUpReviewShow #Podcast #BTS #BehindTheScenes #AmericanNinja4 #KelyMcClung #Brad...

Johnny (Attack of the B Movies Podcast), Robb (The Cinema Drunkie) and I elaborate on various cult and heavily flawed Horror franchises that should’ve turned out WAY better than what they unfortunately became. We discuss everything from Wrong Turn, Hatchet and Wishmaster to Alien, Sleepaway Camp and Friday the 13th. Did you know that Candyman Vs. Wishmaster was an actual thing discussed? What orig...

After Johnny and I tackled the six Original Series films starring William Shatner as Capt. Kirk and Leonard Nimoy as Spock, we decide to tackled the all-star beloved TNG’s four big-screen voyages. Do they deserve more love, hit-and-miss or were they all redundant adventures of the already accomplish show? Furthermore, we touch on how they’ve aged, how they compare to the earlier movies, other less...

Candy, Daniel and I recall tent cult actors who either have a huge fanbase (from Bela Legosi and Vincent Price to Joe Estevez and John Carradine to some underrated Scream Queens), have starred in the quirkiest movies (B-movies or not) and who have really made a name for themselves besides trying to get over 300 plus credits. We focus on some less talked about ones for the most part as well as some...

I teamed up with Voices from the Balcony blogger Jim Morazzini and filmmaker Mitch McLeod to label some cult genre favorites that have stayed with us for years on end. #JackedUpReviewShow #Podcast #EventHorizon #Hellraiser #Wishmaster #HauntingOfHillHouse #Genre #Horror #Fantasy #Popcorn #Awesome #CultMovies #FunMovies #HauntedHouse #GhostShip #Alien #Ghosts #GhostShip #Aliens #Philosophical #HPLo...

I’m joined by the always witty and rather game Cort (from Cinema Psyops Podcast) and we detail this rather uncanny revenge drama fantasy show. I’m convinced that it’s a Elmore Leonard-Robert Towne ’50s style Neo-Noir, I Spit on Your Grave, Sons of Anarchy and Taken mash-up while Cort is far more convinced that this is a David Lynch and Walter Hill mash-up. I’ve watched this and found lots of good...

Candy (The House That Screams Podcast), Daniel (The Nightmare Nerd) and I briefly touch on what makes a show worth a binge-watch to begin with before delving into ten particular shows that had everything from gladiators to evil dictators to historical conquering. We avoid doing the typical fan rage and geeking out by just sticking with why a visual look and production values can affect one giving...
