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. 

You read that right: we're doing nothing but sharing humor related to STAR WARS.   Everything from bloopers, side chats to other amusing observations commence in this 55 minute endeavor.   Why is Billy Dee Williams the definitive voice of cool?   Does James Earl Jone's voice still strike fears into viewer's minds even when it's just a CNN ad?   And why are photos of Obi-Wan still mistaken as being portraits of Jesus Christ?     GUESTS: Jay Man, Barely Critical duo Luke & Trevor, Reels of Justice's Dylan J Schlender & 30Something Podcast's John Reid       SONG INTRO USED: "Chewbacca" by Supernova (from the Clerks OST)

In yet another multi-chat, we once again mix material from the archives with new recordings: Hear us review the Dramatic Thrillers of Harrison Ford's filmography!   FILMS: The Mosquito Coast Frantic Presumed Innocent Random Hearts Firewall Crossing Over 42 & Paranoia     GUESTS: Will Styer, Night Taylor, Jon Mark, Gil Palmer & Joseph Burke     AUDIO INTRO: Harrison Ford Rare Interview about his Life and Career (circa 2008) by Reba Merrill   SONGS USED: "Main Theme (from Presumed Innocent)" by John Williams "Angel" by Massive Attack

Oreo and I continue the May the 4th insanity by digging into all the different Dark Horse TALES comics anthologies:   What stories you never knew you wanted to know actually made an impact?   Which hysterical crossover occured late in the publishing run?   And did the various talents made solid use of all the creative space they were allowed?   Near the end of the chat, we also briefly reflect on the most "amusing" fans vs. creators battles!     SONG USED:  "The Battle of Gall" and "Xizor's Theme" by Joel McNeely (From the Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire OST)

Some of us were still doing a side chat and we decided to focus on the Action Star/Scream Queen Badass herself: Katee Sackhoff!   What is her best voice-over role that we can all still quote?   Why is she the Linda Hamilton of her generation?   And why does she give 1000% in every role?         AUDIO CLIP INTRO:  "KATEE SACKHOFF on Playing the Voice & Live Action of Bo-Katan in STAR WARS" (Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum Podcast)

Oreo & I summarize our favorite STAR WARS Trilogy: The Infinities Trilogy by Dark Horse Comics!   in this trilogy, they do an epic "What If?" take on all three original movies but was there a mild plot hole?   Why are Yoda, Han, R2 & even Lando FAR more involved in these alternate scenarios?   And why are they a solid blend of wit, edginess and epic quality?       MUSIC USED: "Night Skies" and "Into the Sewers" by Joel McNeely (from the Shadows of the Empire OST)

We start our first series of Harrison Ford themed movie reviews for this month. What better way than to highlight all his various War/Western films?   MOVIES REVIEWED: A Time for Killing, Journey to Shiloh, The Intruders (1970), Judgment: The Court Martial of Lieutenant William Calley, The Frisco Kid, Hanover Street, K-19: The Widowmaker, Cowboys & Aliens, Ender's Game & Call of the Wild (2019)     GUESTS: Will Styer, Night Taylor, Jon Mark & Joseph Burke           CLIPS USED: Harrison Ford K-19 The Widowmaker interview (with Roger Ebert), Journey to Shiloh trailer & Judgment: The Court Martial of Lt. William Calley (1975) clip

What better than to feature a brief overview on some of the best spoofs and fan-made takes on the STAR WARS saga:   Which short film & music parodies first got the most traction?   Are people still making them despite Disney threatening to delete them instantly?   All that and a mention on the Family Guy trilogy!     SONG INTRO: "Star Wars Gangsta Rap" by Jason Brannon & Chris Crawford

The whole gang gets in their spaceship's podcasting room to look back at the NPR Radio Dramas of the original STAR WARS trilogy:   TALKING POINTS: *How many of the deleted scenes depicted here became part of the OT's special edition?   *We also discuss some other SW custom merchandise and news back in the '80s/90s on the saga   *We chat about the foley design, NPR-BBC Radio airing this and the neat cast additions   *Why do actors Brock Peters, John Lithgow & Ed Begley Jr. deserve more praise for their work on this?   *Last of all, we also note some Expanded Universe characters who are overdue for a comic book/audio book return!     SONG INTRO: "The Asteroid Field (from Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back)" by John Williams

It's time to do a tribute to yet another key STAR WARS TV show music composer: Kevin Kiner (Ahsoka and the many cartoon shows).   Outside of this, you get to hear an interview clip during this minisode and I guarantee you'll dig his persona instantly.   His movie work includes: Leprechaun, Freaked, Safe House (1998), Tremors 3 and Samaritan (2022) as well as various Roger Corman and Chuck Norris projects.   His TV credits include: Stargate SG-1, SyFy's The Invisible Man, Star Trek: Enterprise, CSI: Miami, Hell on Wheels, Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Narcos: Mexico, City on a Hill, Doom Patrol, Dark Winds & Peacemaker.   Aside from the James Bond videogames, I get to briefly touch on what makes his sound different from other composers of late!       INTERVIEW CLIP:  Gold Derby interview on May 10, 2024     MUSIC USED:  "Undaunted" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF MAY THE 4TH (A.K.A. EVERYTHING STAR WARS RELATED):   We start off the mixture of film history, nostalgia and visionaries with a blunt yet heartfelt George Lucas chat while also overviewing the many projects of his groundbreaking ILM visual effects company.   We don't mix words nor hold back but it's an overall salute to one of the most independent filmmakers who's struggled yet managed to find relevancy each era. We get to talk about how music has changed in his epic movies compared to how today's comedy/epic music is utilized.   Plus, Cam also shares some inspiration that he implemented using Lucas' method at this tempermental film school while Tom shares a wild film studies college he attended as well!       INTERVIEW CLIPS USED:  Roger Ebert 1999 Interview with George Lucas Star Wars Episode I: All I Need Is An Idea Webisode
