The Jacked Up Review Show

Jackey, the beloved B-movie icon who played the little girl Debbie in the infamous Manos: The Hands of Fate, joins us for an amusing recasting of who would appear in a bigger-budgeted version and far creepier version of this movie. We also recast it, add different crew and get to even interview Jackey on her various other recent movie roles, her painting career and books that she’s authored. Jacke...

My first podcast encounter with the beloved 2 Guys, 1 Canuck podcasting trio Mike, John & Aaron lends itself to four times the laughter as a result. Our subject: finding the merit of various sitcoms (good or bad). I trimmed it down slightly so that we could keep it a tad more organized (even though they are the masters of random bemusing). Along the way, we also talk about other wacky celebrit...

My first episode where I paired with fellow MST3k expert fans/filmbuffs Candy, Daniel (Nightmare Nerd), Ryan (The Coolness Chronicles) and Corey drops coincidentally on April Fool’s Day itself (no joke; although we got plenty of jokes themselves in store). We take 10 classic Horror genre films that originally got riffed on this program and retool them with A-list (even somewhat more awesome B-movi...

Kent Hill, author and podcaster of Podcasting Them Softly, joins me to tackle these three underrated Michael Crichton adapted films. We also talk so much about Ernie Hudson in one of these movies that Kent Hill even suddenly reveals meeting that awesome actor on the set of 1994’s No Escape! You want SciFi-Horror-Fantasy blockbusters from the 90s paralleled to today’s material discussed, then this...

Martial Arts indie actor Braden D White and I decide to break down various Kung Fu genre films that are worth seeing for every generation from Bruce Lee to Scott Adkins and more! #JackedUpReviewShow #BruceLee #JeffSpeakman #EnterTheDragon #TheChineseConnection #ScottAdkins #Undisputed #JesseVJohnson #OnceUponATimeInChinaII #JetLi #JackieChan #DonnieYen #AccidentMan #MichaelJaiWhite #RayPark #CaryT...

The DTV Connoisseur (DTVC) podcast and blogging genius Matt Poirier stops by to chat about appreciating some of this not-ready-for-theaters cinema, discovering new indie stuff in a post-Netflix age and appreciating the VHS era where everyone actually had a mailed catalog sent to your doorstep. Along the way, we hit on other previous topics like how to introduce everyone to these B-movie stars; the...

I gather together with Mitch Lovell, best known for the blogspot The Video Vacuum, to discuss various familiar faces, filmmakers and types of B-movies in the VHS era to late 2010-era TV movies. We also get into how so many of these silly, cheesy, enjoyable or trashy films were still one of a kind back in each of their respective days as well as the unpredictability of checking out stuff from mom n...

Today I have Steve & Izzy (from the Everything I Learned From Movies podcast) graciously come on-board to discuss the best bizarre films they’ve covered on their awesome podcast as well as their other hilarious escapades encountering awesomely stupid movies. Eventually, we all get carried away discussing what would be the ULTIMATE bad movie remake in the history of ever! So get ready for quite...

I enlist Brian Zimmerman (from the Facebook page GoodBadMovies) to list certain selections with various so-bad-they’re-good rankings. We also discuss how to introduce pals to this form of bad movie mockery, let alone embracing the stupidity of said bad movies. We discuss every type of films from cheesy movies that deserve to be rediscovered and unintentionally amusing comedies to overstylish disas...

I gather here for the sixth ever episode of Season 1 with Alistair Wallis, the host and creator of the podcast Get Soft with Dr Snuggles (a favorite of ours and other podcasts like They Must Be Destroyed on Sight). We discuss the unusually edgy and pre-streaming binge watching shows that have stood the test of time while also remarking about the appeal of sneaking in unusual after-hours programmin...

Lovely lad John Gormley was perfect enough to stop by and discuss what new yet under appreciated reality TV and game shows that are worth watching despite slipping through the cracks. Later on, after dissing some of the poorly staged crap that everyone’s still (surprisingly watching), John and I ends up getting caught up on discussing everyone’s favorite improv sketch show Whose Line is it Anyway?...

We conclude Robb Antequera (The Cinema Drunkie) and I’s take on film and TV criticism by finally reevaluating the focus to the various controversial actors and filmmakers who names alone either equate to a bitch-slap or great acclaim (and sometimes even both). And the best ways to appreciate the talent from the actual difficult person in question. We then close it out with the various passive aggr...

We move our discussion into the modern-day (and past) era where everyone had a different take on the on-going Star Trek formula from the various TV versions to the updated movie distortions. Other endless franchises like Batman and homage-fueled reboots are given comparisons and contrasts for greater on-going points. #TVProducers #BatmanVsSuperman #QuentinTarantino #BrianDePalma #Homages #Avengers...

Robb and I continue our on-going conversation by switching it to how pretentious and poorly researched half the film and TV discussions end up being while making sense of the origin of this nonsense. #TVProducers #BatmanVsSuperman #QuentinTarantino #BrianDePalma #Homages #Avengers #DC #Marvel #Controversy #MovieBuff #Geeks #Nerds #Geekdom #TwitterFeud #Noir #Netflix #B&WMovies @ModernDayMovies

Here with Robb Antequera of the film blogsite The Cinema Drunkie as he discusses how the visual style of the '80s cartoon Superboy and stylish CSI franchise glued him to the small screen every time. We later dive into what is missing in today's staged reality show settings, long-time TV dramas making controversial cast changes, Netflix taking over TV binge-watching and our various encounters with...
