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. 

The penultimate episode of this Jackie Chan themed podcast week drops:   Bloggers and Filmbuffs Corey Danna & Fred Andersson enter the studio but which are their personal favorite entries in the SUPERCOP (A.K.A. POLICE STORY) franchise with Jackie and Michelle Yeoh?   How did director/stunt coordinator Stanley Tong & Jackie helm similar collaborations as a result?   What other films does Jackie portray a narc prior to this and post-POLICE STORY?   And Fred gets to note the ACES GO PLACES films being an interesting parallel franchise to this!    

In this brief overview, John & I question why Jackie's SHANGHAI NOON/KNIGHTS buddy films aren't more popular with both American and international audiences:   Why isn't Part 3 out already (and can we please not make RUSH HOUR 4 while we're at it)?   How many other fun character actors and genre favorites are in these movies?   And we also note some of Jackie's earlier buddy films and lesser known roles as a member of Bruce Lee's stunt team in the '70s!     AUDIO INTRO: Jackie Chan discusses playing Chon Wang in Shanghai Noon (2000 WFAA ABC Channel 8 News Interview)

The honoring of everyone's favorite modern-day physical comedian Jackie Chan continues: John Potoky and I reminisce about the two PROJECT A films and how they combined more acrobatic stunts while introducing Chan to do more spy movie mash-ups with his craft.   How did this inspire some of his later films like WHO AM I? and the OPERATION CONDOR series?   Which one has stuntwork that lives rent-free in genre lover's minds?   And which one is, you, the listener's personal favorite?   Sound off below and see you there that night!       AUDIO CLIP INTRO: Jackie Chan Interview on Late Night with Conan O'Brien (9/25/2002)  

Podcaster Johnny Potoky joins me for the entire themed week of Jackie Chan January:   We summarize the DRUNKEN MASTER movies in Chan's filmography while summing up their influence on similar Hong Kong Martial Arts Comedies.   Enjoy the minisode and remember to not start these kinds of fights the next time you're out at a bar!       AUDIO CLIP INTRO USED: Behind the Master (Drunken Master II: 2002 Dimension Films DVD Special Feature)

Comedian & Podcaster Kevin Israel returns to help me sum up some of the different teen/young adult apocalyptic book adaptations that divide audiences.   Why do they remind us how some of the '90s "Hunt or Be Hunted" movies were so much better?   Why are TV shows often more successful at getting their vision across?   And can any non-fans REALLY tell the Hunger Games, Maze Runner & Divergent franchises apart from one another?   Grab your bow-and-arrows and come hunting with us!     MUSIC INTRO/OUTRO USED: "Battle Rally" and "Stranger Land' by Soundscrate.

Crystal Hairston drops back into the studio to discuss two outrageously over-the-top Killer Baby Franchises: It's Alive & Basket Case!   Why were both coincidentally turnt into trilogies?   Was It's Alive one of Larry Cohen's more coherent B-pictures or was it more cheesy/low-brow fun?   Are any of the Basket Case films competently made or are they more of the trashy fun variety?   Come sit and listen with us as we continue this nostalgia themed podcast week!

Drop your Sword as we discuss the movie and book version of William Goldman's scripted THE PRINCESS BRIDE!   It's The Purple Rose of Cairo meets Monty Python in this endlessly rewatchable tale.   We also mention some less discussed trivia, some of the underrated jokes, the music talent involved & some of the other films it's inspired.       PLEASE NOTE: We recorded this long before the sudden murder of beloved filmmaker Rob Reiner but we knew that as we had to start off the year remembering his classic film just to cherish the memories he left for past and future audiences. Enjoy!

The podcast quintet is back to sum up the freakiest mysteries, memorably written scifi, well-acted terror, fascinating fantasies & most creative episodes featured on the original TWILIGHT ZONE.       SONG INTRO: "The Twilight Zone" by The Great Luke Ski

In this amusing re-edit, my beyond talented guests sum up some of the most bizarre, whacky, infamous and sometimes puzzling movies in Clint Eastwood's filmography.   We're all fans here but there are some which pose tons of questions with can only be answered with various shrugs (if not sighs).   What's your some of your favorite cheesy Clint Eastwood movies?     GUESTS INCLUDE: Jeffrey Rhodes (Unapologetically Stupid Podcast), Jay Skipworth (Film Strip Podcast), Sean Phillips (Guys at the Movies) & Will Styer (Geek with the Clip Ons)           INTRO CLIP USED: Why Burt Reynolds & Clint Eastwood Were Fired From Universal- CONAN on TBS Interview (Jun 21, 2018)    

We conclude the first week of the new year with a hysterical chat on crossovers/versus matches in fiction that should've been (but never were)!   Why didn't Tony Stark's dad & the Rocketeer team up in a steampunk adventure?   Should Jack Torrance & Patrick Bateman be in an axe fight match?   Why don't Jason Bourne & John Wick face-off?   Why are the Harlem Globe Trotters thrown into any encounter nowadays?   Would Dr. Katz & The Critic put up with each other's crap?   They should TOTALLY make a Godfather Vs. Scarface showdown but why didn't they?   All that and James & Oreo outlining the PERFECT Star Trek & Star Wars crossover concept!         SPEAKERS & GUESTS: Cam Sully, Daniel "Nightmare Nerd" Ryan, Oreo Brewer, The Pedator Minute trio (Cliff Stevenson, A-aron Landerville & Shane Kelley), James Bruno, Gil Palmer, Tom Lindaman & MIke Ensing     SONG INTRO: "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten

Oreo Brewer joins me back on the show as we discuss some of our favorite moments from the RIDDICK movies.   Are there other shows and anime that feel somewhat influenced by this mysterious ex-con who can see in the dark?   Why is there still a thirst for this saga this many years later?   What was the most dangerous planet he set foot on?   All that and more chronicles!

JJ, Tom & I were on one of several other casual pop culture discussions and in the midst of that we briefly summed up a brief overview on some oddball movies in Adam West's lengthy career.   Enjoy and be ready to learn something else about the late great legend!

Moviebuff colleague Tim Caldwell joins us for another outrageous chat: an amusing summary of the divisive POLICE ACADEMY film series.   How did this change up the dumb comedy format?   What other movies besides Caddyshack & Beverly Hills Cop have improvised every scene?   What's the funniest reference to this franchise in recent history?   All that and more (including why VERY FEW were fortunate to never see the infamous cartoon show spin-off)!      

We premiere the first week of  Season 13 with no shortage of the usual uncanny content:   We start one of five different episodes where we reminisce about entertainment treasures. For the first episode, James & I decided to dive into some infamous TV programs as well as some truly bizarre "One Season Wonders."   Sit down, grab a chair & feel free to let us know if you recognize any of these crazy shows we name-drop!
