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. 

It's finally time to start up the Comedy Roasts once again so we decided to pick a target that would be not only somewhat simple yet a joy to riff on: the beloved yet always controversial STAR WARS franchise.   If you want a return to Dean Martin and classic Comedy Central era roasting, then entertain your ear buds with this proper throwback!     ROASTERS: Cliff Stevenson (Predator Movie Minute), Gil Palmer, Tom Lindaman, James Bruno (The Film Junkyard), Oreo Brewer, Adam Spiegelman (Proudly Resents), Sam (from The Outer Reels Podcast), Mike Ensing & Cam Sully

Another all-star panel highlights our Top 10 Characters from The Muppets:   Which one of us will choose a character from Labyrinth and who will pick a key persona from Fraggle Rock?   Who picked Yoda in their list?   Is there anyone who didn't include Grover, Kermit or Miss Piggy?   Is Oscar more of a computer hacker or a straight-up perv?   How many guitars has Animal destroyed during his Rock star career?   And if we weren't able to make you smile perfectly for 2 hours straight talking about this pop culture phenomenon, should we hang up the show for good?   We'll tell you how to get to Podcasting Street!     GUESTS INCLUDE: Nicole Michele, Stephanie "Heavy D" Tyler, Cliff Stevenson, Tim Caldwell & Oreo Brewer     SONGS USED: "Elmo's Last Laugh" by Circus of Death Squirrels   "Bohemian Rhapsody" by The Muppets  

You're getting yet another fun crossover episode with Cinema Recall Podcast: We dive into the themes of David Cronenberg's successful remake The Fly (1986) and its 1989 sequel.   Which of the metaphors were well-done?   Which of the deleted scenes was wise to not be included?   What other key filmmakers were part of the creative process?   All that and more reasons to do a insect-filled double feature!

Another audio essay of me and my podcast crew summing up some of the best moments of the STARSHIP TROOPERS movie trilogy and animated spin-offs.   Aside from playing scene and soundtrack clips, we dig into why there's something about an inane future warfare setting mixed with monster movie parodies that just keeps appealing to every generation!     SONGS USED: "Song 2" by Blur "Code Red" Trailer Song by Alan Silvestri/Immediate Music

Film blogger Jon Mark joins Cam to discuss the diverse film composer James Newton Howard's discography:   How does Howard infuse more natural music and avoid repetition beats?   How did he do tons of comedies and horror mysteries without getting typecast by genres?   And more deep orchestral cuts (and admiration)!       AUDIO CLIP INTRO: Collider Connected Interview  

We conclude the week with a fun focus on a series of disaster action movies starring, your's truly, Ice-T:   Which of these are a solid use of the rapper/rock star's talent?   And which of these are just campy fun filled with other B-movie actors, bizarre DIE HARD/TOWERING INFERNO type plots and stock footage from other movies?   FILMS REVIEWED: Judgment Day, Stealth Fighter, Final Voyage, Sonic Impact, Air Rage, Ticker, Ablaze & Black Horizon/Stranded     AUDIO CLIPS USED: FINAL VOYAGE DVD Commentary Track by Jim Wynorski and Claudia Christian   MUSIC USED: Soundscrate Free-to-Use Music

Enjoy this part new episode, part re-edit: Cam Sully, Jon Mark & James Alex Krueger (Composers: The Movie Score Podcast) look at the overall Grunge Rock music cliches, trends, marketing and actual sound with the group Saliva being the partial focus.   Why do record studios not let originality breathe?   Why do so many groups have to make everything sound like the 5 other groups already in existence?   And why can't we just let every new subgenre be its own thing instead of endless comparisons?    

Enjoy this remastered episode from our crossover with CINEMA RECALL Podcast: The Vern and Ashley Jirak help Cam sum up Roger Corman's produced Rock N' Roll High School movies in this lively, daring and hysterical double feature review!

I get to dig into the mega-hit Hong Kong gangster franchise YOUNG AND DANGEROUS:   Starring Cantopop singer-turned-actors Ekin Cheng, Jordan Chan, Anthony Wong Chau-Sang & Nicholas Tse and directed/shot by Andrew Lau & Alan Mak (INFERNAL AFFAIRS trilogy), it blends what feels like a typical gangster drama with a rap music video-style turf war, dark comedy & stylish fight scenes!   SONGS USED: "Noise Attack," "Overcast" and "Harmful or Hatal" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

We present to you a Music Stars themed week which allows for more deep cuts on some cult favorite movies:   Join me for a minisode on the BELLY films starring DMX, Nas, The Game & Michael K. Williams (A.K.A. Omar from HBO's The Wire).   Where does the first film rank in terms of some of the many other CARLITO'S WAY/GOODFELLAS inspired films?   Why did they do this in-name-only sequel and did it entertain or fail completely?   Why didn't Hype Williams have a bigger cinematic career outside of MTV music videos?   And how is the soundtrack utilized for the narratives in these films?   Armor up, speed away to your crib & join the Ruff Ryders for this engaging deep cut!     FREE TO USE MUSIC BY SOUNDSCRATE.

To conclude the flesh-eaters themed week, we note Zack Snyder's Zombie themed trilogy (Dawn of the Dead remake, Army of the Dead & Army of Thieves):   Is the 2004 version of Dawn the rare example of how to make a remake its own thing without having to draw needless comparisons to the original yet completely different film?   And that and why the Netflix follow-ups cause a divisive reaction!     (Plus, why The Crazies is also a rare kind of remake that stands on its own two feet.)     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, Gil Palmer, Crystal Hairston,  Cameron Scott (Cinema Degeneration) & Jon Mark.     SONG INTRO: "Viva Las Vengeance" by Panic! at the Disco

Want more gory fun? Listen in for a mini-review on both 28 DAYS LATER comic book tie-ins to calm your zombie craving needs!   Which one of these comics has some stunning artwork and reasonable ideas?   And which one left more to be desired given the talents involved with this spin-off?   Run for the hills and listen in!       SONGS USED: "John Abandons Alice" by John Murphy (from the movie OSTs) & "Cool Rock" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Genre critic/blogger Meredith Borders (Fangoria Magazine) joins for one of inevtiably more characters in fiction lists. This time, we decided to sum up various evil doctors and mad scientists (some who are surprisingly heroes) in movies and television.   How many times will we make some of the same selections? And which deep cuts will one or the other mention that will blow your mind?    Want food for thought, listen to these two brains geek out for an hour of fun!    

If you want the best dissection of George Romero (and sometimes John A. Russo)'s social commentary mixed in with the titular monsters, criminal protagonists & post-apocalyptic scifi settings, then we've got plenty of fun for your ears to listen to:   Why wasn't The Amusement Park, Knightriders or The Crazies part of his Zombie saga?   We also note how some of the villains have similarly gruesome plot arcs much like Damien in The Omen trilogy and Col. Kurtz in Apocalypse Now!       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, Gil Palmer, Cameron Scott (Cinema Degeneration) & Jon Mark.     VOICEMAILS BY: Jim Evans (Film Rage) & The Western Wonder (Pic-A-Flic)
