This is the DTVC Podcast, official podcast of the Direct to Video Connoisseur. We do a lot of action movies, plus other genres of DTV films, including horror, sci-fi, comedy, and erotic thrillers, both recent and from the 80s and 90s. Every week we tackle a new DTV film or topic. Drop us a line with comments and suggestions.

We're trying something new on the DTVC Podcast feed, "DTVC Monologues" are 15-20 minute takes on a film I just watched. In this first one I look at 2001's "Josie and the Pussycats." It's one that people have been revisiting lately with a sense that maybe it was slept on when it was first released, but deserves another look. Did it? And was I able to make the case one way or the other inside of 20 minutes?

Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back for his monthly spot on the pod as we look at two more movies that feature rappers, "Checkmate" and "Once Upon a Time in Brooklyn." With "Checkmate," we're pushing felony weight again in the world of Alex Maisonette and Fat Joe, and if it's possible, it might be even crazier than before! At least we have Old Timer Dave. Then on the second one, "Once Upon a Time in Brooklyn", William DeMeo leads your classic NYC mob story, with small parts by Ice-T and Ja Rule. Finally, our spotlight on a fight looks at the end fight in "Walking Tall."For our first rappers episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/60w0vsiCwJG9h6rGgpA3TR?si=GWAYaQluRTKk04Ge9bOicwFor the Letterboxd list of the movies Ty and I have covered, you can go here: https://boxd.it/oXfLm You can find Ty at ⁠⁠comeuppancereviews.net⁠⁠, or on the Comeuppance Reviews podcast, which you can subscribe to on most major podcatchers.For Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures, the writer of our theme song, you can listen on Spotify, or go here for his Bandcamp https://miscplumbingfixtures.bandcamp.com/Support the DTVC on Buy Me a Coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/dtvconnoisseurFor my author website, go here: ⁠⁠https://www.matthewpoirierauthor.comAnd you can grab our DTVC merch at our Threadless, ⁠⁠⁠https://dtvconnoisseur.threadless.com
"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode I look at four mainstream Erotic Thrillers. In the first segment, I talk about "Body Heat" and "Body Double," why I liked them, and the ways they share DNA with 90s DTV Erotic Thrillers, and ways they differ. In the second segment I talk about "Fatal Attraction" and "Basic Instinct," and with those I look at how "Fatal Attraction" isn't a paradigm that's used often in 90s DTV Erotic Thrillers, and how "Basic Instinct" propelled an already burgeoning subgenre at that time. Finally, in the third segment I talk about my second novel, "A Girl and a Gun," giving some background on how I came up with the initial idea, how the story evolved, and how it showed me that I could write novels more easily.

We're joined once again by Jon Cross from the PM Entertainment Podcast and the After Movie Diner, this time to discuss "Night Eyes" and "Night Eyes II." With the first one, we look at where it sits as one of the first of the DTV Erotic Thrillers, the appearance of Cole S. McKay, and the plot holes that we love it in spite of. Then with the sequel, we look at Tweed's introduction to the series, how Andrew Stevens is as a lead, and more plot holes that we love it in spite of. Finally, after the end theme, we have bonus content, where Jon and I riff about Maine humorist Tim Sample, where else in the world you can have a "local humorist," and what a British Stephen King would sound like.You can find the PM Entertainment Podcast and After Movie Diner on all major podcatchers, and on YouTube.

Scott Murphy from All 90s Action, All the Time and Bloody Sam is back to discuss another Steven Seagal DTV flick, this time "Driven to Kill." We have another not so bad one here, but I do my best to make a mess of it when I keep calling Seagal "Dolph".You can find Scott's podcasts on iTunes or other major podcatchers; or go here for All 90s Action, All the Time, https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-murphy9Here for Bloody Sam: https://open.spotify.com/show/5XEwQd8bu4FuJ7hQkbkv99?si=ca8ce6aad6584c12 And here for New Horror Express, https://newhorrorexpress.com/Buy me a coffee! buymeacoffee.com/dtvconnoisseurFor my author website, go here: ⁠⁠https://www.matthewpoirierauthor.comAnd you can grab our DTVC merch at our Threadless, ⁠⁠⁠https://dtvconnoisseur.threadless.com
