This week, Roy Scheider appears as the titular Red Serpent in RED SERPENT, a Russian production also featuring Michael Paré! The Mikes debate whether this is one of the worst-looking movies they've ever covered, and get delighted by yet another late-period accent from Scheider.
We accidentally posted this one a little bit out of order, but here it is: Roy Scheider appears alongside Patrick Stewart in a TV movies that adapts KING LEAR and turns it into a western - it's time for KING OF TEXAS!
Did you know that Michelle Yeoh is now a part of one of the highest-grossing movies of all time? The international sensation NE ZHA 2 has made over $2 billion this year - and A24 just re-released it in theaters with a new English dub, featuring the voice talents of Michelle Yeoh! Mike and Mike are getting back into the Yeoh-iverse to parse through Chinese myth and marvel at the animation in this epic story.
This week, Roy Scheider pops up for one scene in the direct-to-video sequel to DRACULA 2000, it's DRACULA II: ASCENSION! It swaps out Gerard Butler for Stephen Billington, and is very much part one of a two-part story... but don't worry, Scheider's in DRACULA III too, so we'll be covering that one in a few weeks!
This week, Roy Scheider gets an unlikely co-star: Trash TV legend Jerry Springer! Scheider plays the governor of Florida in a world where high-profile court cases get turned into AMERICAN IDOL-style TV shows, where the viewers at home get to vote whether the defendant is innocent or guilty. Think THE RUNNING MAN meets NETWORK, but... not quite as good as either of those. It's time for CITIZEN VERDICT!
Noted actor and Resident Adam Sandler expert Vin Craig returns to the podcast to talk the Sandman's latest release, the highly-anticipated HAPPY GILMORE 2! Plus, we toss in a little talk about WEAPONS as well.
It's time for another Mike Makes Mike Watch! This time, Smith is making Mike D catch up with Steven Spielberg's first feature, 1971's DUEL! Meanwhile, Mike D is making Smith watch Frank Marshall's 1990 horror comedy ARACHNOPHOBIA!
This week, we're covering the first half of a TV miniseries based on a novel from the same author behind THE SEVENTH SCROLL - Roy Scheider stars alongside Alyssa Milano and Sean Patrick Flannery in THE DIAMOND HUNTERS!
It's time for an Off Mike Discussions episode! We kick off with a long superhero talk as Mike D catches up with THUNDERBOLTS and Smith talks SUPERMAN and FANTASTIC FOUR. Then, Mike D talks FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES, BALLERINA, and PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS, while Smith talks EDDINGTON, JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH, and a bunch of Kevin Smith movies!
This week, Roy Scheider appears as the villain in a thriller that poses the question, "What if MEMENTO happened to the dumbest guy you know?" - plus, Mike D really recommends everybody check out Elia Kazan's PANIC IN THE STREETS!
This week, Roy Scheider has to guide a group of passengers led by Ted McGinley out of the LA subway system after a disaster leaves them trapped underground! Also, Mike Smith apologizes to beloved character actor Troy Evans and we assess the state of the podcast after all these direct-to-video thrillers!
It's time for another Mike Makes Mike Watch! This time around, Mike D is making Smith watch one of the goopiest movies ever made, Brian Yuzna's SOCIETY! Meanwhile, Smith is making Mike D do some homework before Edgar Wright's upcoming remake to watch Arnold Schwarzenegger in THE RUNNING MAN!
This week, Roy Scheider pops up in a Roger Corman production about a doorway... to hell! When four college kids discover that the house they've agreed to clean is sitting atop a doorway to hell and start getting haunted, Scheider jumps in to try to help!
This week, we're taking a break from the endless onslaught of direct-to-video Scheider movies of the 2000s to get back to our roots: we're talking JAWS again! More specifically, we're discussing the new documentary looking back on the film's legacy, JAWS @ 50: THE DEFINITIVE INSIDE STORY, currently available to stream on Hulu and Disney+!
It's time for the Birthday By-Law to go into effect for Mike Smith's birthday! And this year, he wants to look back on one of his alll-time favorites, Edgar Wright's 2013 sci-fi comedy THE WORLD'S END. Leave a light on good lady, for though we may return with a twinkle in our eyes, we will in truth be blind - drunk!
This week, Roy Scheider and Peter Weller are FALLING THROUGH... something. It's a pretty forgettable thriller about an illegal passport ring. But the Mikes do end up getting distracted and talking about the BOURNE movies for a while.
We did this a little out of order. Last year, we talked about WEEKS. Last week, we talked about DAYS. Now, the Mikes are back to discuss Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's return to their landmark zombie universe, 28 YEARS LATER!
This week, we're electing Roy Scheider to a third term as President of the United States, in a movie with a plot suspiciously similar to a previous Scheider DTV action movie. This one's got Patrick Muldoon and it reunites Scheider with Michael Biehn - it's CHAIN OF COMMAND!
Before Mike and Mike get to talking about 28 YEARS LATER, we thought it would be fun to revisit the original. It's time to talk about the last quarter-century of zombie media that all owes a debt to Danny Boyle's groundbreaking horror movie, 2002's 28 DAYS LATER!
This week, the Mikes are checking in on the first episode of the 1999 mini-series THE SEVENTH SCROLL, a book adaptation that has a lot in common with things like THE MUMMY and INDIANA JONES. Roy Scheider stars alongside The Lawnmower Man himself, Jeff Fahey. Will we end up covering episodes 2 and 3? You decide!
