The Jacked Up Review Show Podcast

  My best bud Billi G. Meskel (who's also a superfan of this show) helps me tackle the five current seasons of the hit show Prison Break. What would the announced sixth season (which coincidentally got far more detailed days after we originally recorded this!) look like? What was the direct to video filler film like (despite its lying "Final Break" title)?? Why is everyone so mixed on this Fugitive/24 type franchise??? Are these deadly assassins rejects from The Bourne Identity-Manchurian Candidate????   #JackedUpReviewShow #Podcast #PrisonBreak #TheFinalBreak #WilliamFichtner #WentworthMiller #Hulu #Streaming #DominicPurcell #LegendsOfTomorrow #DCComics #GreatEscape #BourneIdentity #JackBauer #Scofield #Chicago #TheFugitive #ManchurianCandidate #Antiheroes #Nikita #PersonOfInterest #Powertvshow #Sopranos #Yellowstone #Legendstvshow #Transporter

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

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. Jackey also sheds additional light on what it was light attending the movie’s premiere, her father’s community theater background (and how he was a fan of MST3k and realized one day his movie happened to be on his favorite show!), the general El Paso’s audience general reactions and how it left cinemas after a two week run. A must-listen for all cult movie fanatics!#JackedUpReviewShow #Manos #ManosTheHandsOfFate #PrimalRage #Bigfoot #Sasquatch #Recast #Redo #ThisMovie #MST3k #MysteryScienceTheater3000 #BMovieStars #FullMoon #TimThomerson #CharlesBand #DaleDabone #CassandraCruz #AndrewDivoff #TVsFrank #Wishmaster #EricRoberts #DTV #Sequels #Torgo #MichaelJNelson #JohnReynolds #TomNeyman #TheMaster #Debbie #Crime #Horror #SciFi #Movies #Discussion #Podcast #JackeyRayeNeymanJones #ChurchOfSatan #Texas #FilmedProductions #TheDevilsRain #WilliamShatner #StarTrek #RealLifeTerror #Horror #SciFi #CreatureFeature #BoggyCreek #TheMaster #Props #ElevatorMusic #FrankConniff #TraceBeaulieu #KevinMurphy #BillCorbett #JoelHodgson #JimMallon #CrowTRobot #TomServo #1966 #1960s #TexasTheaters #IndependentFilmmaking #Moviemaking #Filming #MidnightPremiere #UnintentionalLaughter #FunniestMovie #Dubbing #Crying #ElPaso #CommunityTheater #ComedyCentral #RiffTrax #VHSRecording #ManosTheReturn #Wikipedia #TheSearchForValleyLodge #TheRiseOfTorgo #Facebook #VoicesFromTheBalcony #JimMorazzini #DTVMovies #WWE #Wrestlers #MMAFighter #WebSeries #DebbieChronicles #Supernatural #Revenge #DriveInTheaters #SatanicCults #ChurchOfSatan #Plan9FromOuterSpace #Artist #Paintings #ArtDirection #FrankZappa #CurseOfBigfoot #PatrickMcGee #AlienVsPredator #Alien #Predator #Terror #Showtime #Troma #Dallas #TX #Texas #UrbanMyths #UrbanLegend #Marketing #MakingOf #Infamous #JohnReynolds #IPhone #Android #Phone #AlecBaldwin #BillyBobThornton #Recasting #JackNicholson #TheShining #SteveAndIzzy #EverythingILearnedFromMovies #NicolasCage #TheWickerMan #StevenSpielberg #CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind #StrangerThings #Netflix #MillieBobbyBrown #ChristopherWalken #SteveBuscemi #JohnLithgow #CarrieFisher #StarWars #LindaBlair #Exorcist #TommyWiseau #TheRoom #QuentinTarantino #PulpFiction #NaturalBornKillers #TerryJones #MontyPython #TheMeaningOfLife #Sick #Scientology #BruceCampbell #EvilDead #TrashCinema #DList #Babylon5 #PatriciaTallman #ClaudiaChristian #JackDeth #Trancers #Dollman #MichaelMadsen #ReservoirDogs #TiffanyShepis #YancyButler #HardTarget #TrentReznor #NIN #NineInchNails #LinShaye #LinneaQuigley #LanceHenriksen #ScreamQueens #NightOfTheDemons #Boobs #Nudity #Shudder #FromDuskTillDawn #TomSavini #CThomasHowell #PonyBoy #CriminalMinds #Vampires #FredWilliamson #Voodoo #MusicVideo #Wishmaster  #HelenaBonhamCarter #MichelleBauer #TraciScoggins #Highlander #DeborahAnnWoll #TrueBlood #Breasts #GeorgeRomero #Models #CaraDelevingne #Valerian #LucBesson #RubyRose #Batwoman #OrangeIsTheNewBlack #TheMeg #ChrissyTeigen #LeoDiCaprio #Oscar #BarRefaeli #CharliesAngels #VictoriasSecret #StellaMaxwell #Tumblr #Reddit #StellaMaxwell #Eegah #Mitchell #WatchOutForSnakes #JoeDonBaker #RichardKiel #BoaConstrictor #JenniferLynch #LifeOfBrian #Twitter #LarryCohen #TheStuff #Species #DieHard #Hellraiser #PeterWeller #Robocop #Art #RipOff #ComicBook #KevinBacon #Legacy #Tremors #Footloose #StephenKing #DarkTower #Merlin #FutureWar #SantaClaus #VillageOfTheGiants #DeathProof #PodPeople #Squirm #GoldenAge #SantaConquersTheMartians #Indiana #Philadelphia #NewJersey #AChristmasStory #JohnSaxon #BruceLee #HorrorHound #DolphLundgren #CableTVShows #HBO  

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 #CaryTagawa #JasonYee #Ninja #GirlFromTheNakedEye #PowerRangers #MartialArts #KungFu #Fighting #MixedMartialArts #Boyka #AmyJoJohnston TheFifthCommandment #RickYune #LadyBloodFight #MariskaHargitay #SVU #EastMeetsWest #BodyCount #IsaacFlorentine #SamFisher #SplinterCell #AForceOfOne #VicArmstrong #DVDSpecialFeatures #BluRay #AssassinMovies #OneManArmy #BokeemWoodbine #Riddick #Terminator #RogerYuan #Taken #BourneIdentity #Skyfall #JamesBond #KickboxerVengeance #DaveBautista #JCVD #JeanClaudeVanDamme #TonyJaa #GinaCarano #FightScenes #EscapePlan #RonYuan #Oldboy #KissOfTheDragon #TheDarkKnightRises #Netflix #SashaGrey #WesleySnipes #VingRhames #DeathWarrant #DieHard #FightToTheDeath #GreenStreetHooligans #LordOfTheRings #IndieMovies #JeffWincott #LorenAvedon #RoundhouseKick  

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 hostile fanboys and their endless band-wagons. 

For this segment, we cover the infamously disowned Night of the Living Dead 3-D remake (2006) & its sequel Re-Animation (2012):   Why should you throughly avoid watching either of these sad excuses for zombie films?   Why are Andrew Divoff's shotgun blasting and Jeffrey Combs's dramatic turn (both reuniting from 2000's FAUST) the only ones working overtime here?   All that and some of the shady trivia we've heard about the making of these poorly-run cashgrabs!   SONG USED: "Corruption" by Kevin MacLeod.

We got a re-edit from the archives remastered for your listening ears:   Erica, Jon, Tom & I remark on the many genre entries for the multi-talented actor Andrew Divoff.   How many pirates, crooked cops and bikers does he get to portray here?   What terror and supernatural fantasy elements exist in some of these flicks?   And why is he still such a beyond reliable character actor?   We wish you would join us and find out why!     FILMS REVIEWED: Mac & Me (1988) Toy Soldiers (1991) Running Cool (1993) Magic Island (1995) A Low Down Dirty Shame (1996) Deadly Voyage (1996) Blast (1997) Captured (1998) Killers in the House (1998) Blue Hill Avenue (2001) Demons (2017) The Hatred (2017) Vault (2019)    

We begin the full week of April by bringing the listeners tons more off-color themed comedy: We decided to host a WISHMASTER themed week for the iconic action-horror-fantasy-comedy film series and all things related to evil genie portrayer Andrew Divoff!   In this side-chat with my guests, we talk about the sequels to the first two films that should've happened. Tons of crazy cool ideas emerge and laughter erupts!   GUESTS: Ken Sledge (Sledgehammer Horror) AKA as the man who's folks used to own a local videostore rental place called Downtown Video!, Nick Sheist (Bad Movies We Luv), Mondo (I Luv the Films on Insta), Jim Evans (Film Rage Podcast) & Matthew Skelly       MUSIC USED: "Wishing Well" by Bob Mould

We conclude the week with a minisode detailing two family adventures by both Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese: HUGO & TINTIN!   TALKING POINTS: *Does Robert Zemeckis' latest films with Tom Hanks and his CGI animation often get mixed up with Spielberg's similar productions? *Why didn't Spielberg continue collaborating with Peter Jackson and his effects company? *Why do the Oscars still not recognize motion capture as an animation category? *All that and why HUGO is still Scoresese's final good movie to date!     GUESTS: Liam & Dave from Watch It If You Can Podcast       MUSIC USED: "The Adventures of Tintin Theme Song" by John Williams

In the another mini-entry, we look at four movies that Spielberg personally oversaw for the different SciFi/Horror/Fantasy audiences and the uncanny reasons why they were all greenlit!   FILMS DISCUSSED:  Arachnophobia, Deep Impact, A.I. & The BFG     TALKING POINTS: *When Steven had soooo much money and wanted to do a James Bond movie, why didn't he just buy the entire franchise? *Will Disney come calling back to Spielberg or vice-versa sometime soon? *Did Spielberg produce Deep Impact as a personal "Screw you!" after an unpleasant BTS encounter with Armageddon star Ben Affleck? *And how these movies mirror the production of his Amazing Stories TV show?       GUESTS: Chris Page, Oreo Brewer, Ken Bates, Daniel Ryan, Jon Mark, Dave & Liam (Watch It If You Can) & Mike Ensing       MUSIC USED: "Where Dreams Are Born" (From A.I.: Artificial Intelligence) by John Williams

To continue the Spielberg themed week, we present to you a minisode on his three True Crime/Real-Life Biopics!     MOVIES DISCUSSED:  The Sugarland Express, Catch Me If You Can & The Terminal     TALKING POINTS:  *Why won't Hollywood let Tom Hanks play more profane roles? *Is Sugarland Express ALMOST a semi-Sam Peckinpah western envisioned by Spielberg? *Is Catch Me If You Can yet another film being rediscovered on streaming? And why is it still Leo's only unrecognizable role to date? *And why don't Christopher Walken and Spielberg work together more often?     MUSIC USED:  "The Tale of Viktor Navorski" (From The Terminal),  "The Float" (From Catch Me If You Can) & "Main Theme" (From The Sugarland Express) by John Williams     GUESTS: Chris Page, Oreo Brewer, Ken Bates, Daniel Ryan, Jon Mark, Dave & Liam (Watch It If You Can) & Mike Ensing      

We present another Spielberg retrospect: His Spies & Political Conspiracies Themed Trilogy!   MOVIES DISCUSSED:  Munich, Bridge of Spies & The Post     TALKING POINTS:  *How did Spielberg make a gritty War of the Worlds adaptation the same year as Munich without losing his mind? *Why was The Post not seen by as many despite being a Nightcrawler/Spotlight/All the President's Men type contemporary thriller? *What other films by Spielberg were good but came out in the wrong era?     GUESTS: Chris Page, Ken Bates, Daniel Ryan, Jon Mark, Dave & Liam (Watch It If You Can) & Mike Ensing     SONGS USED:  "Letter Bombs," "The Tarmac at Munich" & "Hiding the Family" by John Williams (from Munich OST)

We begin yet another filmmaker themed week and we decided if there's anyone we can weave an unofficial trilogy of similarly themed movies around, it's got to be the one and only Steven Spielberg:   Here, we start off with his three earlier TV movies prior to unleashing different hits for Universal Pictures. All throughout these chats, you'll hear some clips from the archives as well as new contributions by Oreo Brewer, Radio Host Elliot Serrano (Top Men Podcast) & Liam and Dave (Watch It If You Can Podcast)!       FILMS DISCUSSED: Duel (1971) Something Evil (1972) Savage (1973)     TALKING POINTS: *What are the main differences between the TV version and international extended cut of Duel? *Is Something Evil basically the blueprint for Spielberg's later hit film Poltergeist? *In an alternate reality, does Spielberg keep making only interesting TV mystery-horror movies? *Why 1941 was an unpleasant interruption at the beginning of Steven's successful and prolonged career? *Plus, we also talk about the first episode of Columbo that Spielberg helmed that is very eye-catching!     GUESTS: James Bruno, Chris Page, Ken Bates, Elliot Serrano, Daniel Ryan, Jon Mark, Dave & Liam (Watch It If You Can), Oreo Brewer & Mike Ensing     MOVIE OST MUSIC USED: "Duel Soundtrack Suite" by Billy Goldenberg & "Something Evil Theme Song" by Wladimir Selinsky     FREE TO USE MUSIC USED: Night on the Docks - Sax by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com/ Promoted by MrSnooze C License: CC BY 3.0 https://goo.gl/Yibru5   Just As Soon by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com/ Promoted by MrSnooze D License: CC BY 3.0 https://goo.gl/Yibru5   Bass Walker by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com/ Promoted by MrSnooze C License: CC BY 3.0 https://goo.gl/Yibru5   Covert Affair by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com/ Promoted by MrSnooze C License: CC BY 3.0 https://goo.gl/Yibru5   Noire #1 by Music By Pedro Promoted by MrSnooze   Dances and Dames by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com/ Promoted by MrSnooze C License: CC BY 3.0 https://goo.gl/Yibru5   Deadly Roulette by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com/ Promoted by MrSnooze C License: CC BY 3.0 https://goo.gl/Yibru5   Cool Vibes by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com/ Promoted by MrSnooze © License: CC BY 3.0 https://goo.gl/Yibru5   I Knew a Guy by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com/ Promoted by MrSnooze D License: CC BY 3.0 https://goo.gl/Yibru5   On the Cool Side by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com/ Promoted by MrSnooze

We conclude the Star Warped Tour Week with another special on filmmaker Brian De Palma: his Crime Conspiracy Movies!   MOVIES DISCUSSED: The Fury, Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, Wise Guys (1986), The Untouchables, Casualties of War, Snake Eyes, Femme Fatale (2002), Redacted (2007) & Domino (2015)     TALKING POINTS: *Did Curtis Hanson, David Fincher and Denis Villeaneuve take influence from De Palma or just the same filmmakers he was imitating?   *Does De Palma suffer from much of the same issue as George Lucas by relying on the actors to do all the backstory work but not coach them on what he wants personally?   *All that and how no one should dislike BLOW OUT unless their name is Ted Kennedy!       PODCAST GUESTS: Film Critic Sean Patrick (I Hate Movie Critics Podcast, Sean At The Movies Blog), Anthony Francis (The Movie Revue) & James Bruno     MUSIC INTROS: "Main Theme" by John Williams (from The Fury) "The Strength Of The Righteous(Main Title)" by Ennio Morricone (from The Untouchables)  

Me and other fellow guests dig into the WTF worthy films in the divisive filmmaker Brian De Palma's diverse career.   Does Brian do Meta Movies better than actual spoof films? What would infamous movies like Showgirls be like under De Palma's stylish direction? Let's find out after this deep dive!   MOVIES DISCUSSED: Greetings, Hi Mom!, Phantom of the Paradise, Obsession, Raising Cain,  Body Double, Sisters & Bonfire of the Vanities   GUESTS: Film Critic Sean Patrick (I Hate Movie Critics Podcast, Sean At The Movies Blog), James Bruno & Kristin Battelstella (Therefore Horror on Twitter)      INTRO CLIP:  De Palma and Scorsese on Welles and Hitchcock: The Dick Cavett Show 

We weren't done with our initial George Romero zombie movie saga discussion so I split up the chat into highlighting our favorite moments:   *How many versions can one own of the original Night of the Living Dead? *Is Dawn, Day or Land of the Dead the ultimate party movie? *We also discuss our favorite Romero inspired zombie films!       GUESTS INCLUDE:  The Vern (Cinema Recall) Ryan McGann (Offtopic Podcast) Oreo Brewer Richard Glenn Schmidt (Hello! This is the Doomed Show) Matthew Soto Gabriel Jewett Steve Unger Jr. Mack Lambert (Mack & the Movies) Allen Adams & Kevin Edwards (Deadnotes Podcast) Jeff Kerr, C. Courtney Joyner (Dawn of the Dead), Lynsey G,  Gil Palmer, Cameron Scott (Cinema Degeneration) & Jon Mark.     SONG INTRO: "Shoot the Zombies" by Songs to Wear Pants To  

We went into the archives for yet again more audio essays on filmmakers and their unofficial themed trilogies that movie fans can label based on them sharing various themes:   We did an edit of both new and previously released takes on what we call Clint Eastwood's Ageing Gunfighters Themed Trilogy.   We provide trivia, commentary and deep appreciation for The Outlaw Josey Wales, Unforgiven and Gran Torino.     PODCAST GUESTS: Charlie Hildebrand, Jeffrey Rhodes (Unapologetically Stupid), Will Styer, Jay Skipworth (Film Strip)    AUDIO CLIPS INTRO: Clint Eastwood Names His Favourite Six Movies- YouTube Interview Compilation

We go back to the well with more shameless genre movie franchises to recap: We present to you our favorite moments in The Subsitute movies!     TALKING POINTS: *Is this the most shameless Death Wish knock-off with Commando type villains?   *Why did Treat Williams never become as big as other character actors like Danny Trejo & Robert Forster?   *Does Ernie Hudson almost one-up Alan Rickman as a fun villain actor?   *Is Lionsgate the only studio who can figure out OTT franchises with dark comedy in them (i.e. John Wick, Wishmaster, The Dentist)?   *Do these films have the best library set fight scenes?   *Would you see Eric Roberts or Dolph Lundgren star in another sequel to this saga?   *We also talk about our other favorite high and low-brow teacher subgenre movies!       GUESTS: Johnny Potoky, Gil Palmer, Tom Lindaman & Mike Ensing    

Since we were joking about time travel all week, why don't we conclude the week with yet another Comedy Roast?   We roast (and then toast) the Marvel and DC Comics universe in this riff on superheroes, time travel and movie adaptations.   Everyone's validated (surprisingly) at this end of this comedic mayhem!       AUDIO INTRO BY: Jay Man, the Barely Critical podcast duo Luke & Trevor, Reels of Justice's Dylan J Schlender & 30Something Podcast's John Reid   ROASTERS:  Matthew Skelly Brad Mendenhall (Cosmic Geppetto) Alyse McCombs Ryan & Shawn McGann (Offtopic Podcast) Josh Hansen (Action Movie & Comic Book Movie Podcast) Kevin the Critic Shane "Peacemaker" Kelley (5 Minutes of Guild) Jasen Bach (AKA Jasen with an E) Oreo Brewer Kevin S.
