DTVC Podcast

"Easy! Eas-ee!" Scott Murphy from All 90s Action, All the Time and New Horror Express is back to discuss another Steven Seagal DTV flick, this time 2003's "The Foreigner." A product of its time, we see early 2000s action in all its glory, from techno music to fancy edits, and to that mix we add a Seagal who wasn't as lazy as he became, but lazy enough.

Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back for his monthly spot on the pod. First we're looking at Orlando Bloom and Andie MacDowell in "Red Right Hand." Was this the best film we've covered on here? Then with "Cash Out," it's the complete opposite. What do we do with this film? Finally, in our Spotlight on a Fight, we looked at the end fight in "Blade" between Wesley Snipes and Stephen Dorff.

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode we're finishing our look at the Die Hard Franchise with "Live Free or Die Hard," and "A Good Day to Die Hard." For the first one, I look at why there was a gap between this and the third film. I also get into why the title doesn't work, and why Justin Long doesn't work. And then we finish things off with the last movie in the series, and talk about why it's the last one in the series. Then I end with a whither "Die Hard" look, and wonder aloud if Disney would ever consider a reboot.

In this episode I'm joined once again by Mitch from the Video Vacuum, as we look the Shannon Whirry classic "Animal Instincts." We get into the world of 90s erotic thrillers/soft core not quite porn films, what led to their rise, and why the ubiquity of internet content has obviated their niche in the market. We also talk about Whirry as a star, and what it is about this film that works so well.

In this episode I'm joined by Freddie Young from Full Moon Reviews as we discuss "Punisher: War Zone." We look at what worked so well, but wasn't successful in the theater. We also get into the current state of comic book movies, from Marvel's rebound with Deadpool and Wolverine, to DC looking to reboot their universe with the upcoming Superman film.

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode we're starting our look at the Die Hard Franchise with "Die Hard," "Die Hard II," and "Die Hard with a Vengeance." For the first one, I look at who Bruce Willis was as a star before the film and how this shot him to stardom, why this is such a classic, and answer the question on whether or not it's a Christmas movie. For the second one, I get into why I like it, but also why I think it's a great action movie, but not a classic. Finally, for the third one, I get into why there was a delay between this and part 2, and why it was a departure from the first two.

In this episode I'm joined once again by Chris "The Brain" Kacvinsky from Bulletproof Action, and this time we are Buff, and we are the Stuff. That's right, we're talking "LETHAL Ladies: Return to Savage Beach," the last of Andy Sidaris's LETHAL Ladies films. We've got Marcus "Buff" Bagwell, a pizza delivery lady slipping Mickeys in ginger ale, the creator of the Ninja Turtles, and all the boobs, explosions, and plot exposition dialog you could ask for.

In this episode I'm joined once again by Rich Hawes from the DTV Digest to discuss Scott Adkins and one of his more recent films, "One More Shot." We look at his career as a whole, we also look at the first film in the series, "One Shot;" James Nunn as a current DTV action director, along with the team of Tim Man and Dan Styles; and Michael Jai White as the film's baddie.

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode we're finishing our look at the Superman pre-DCEU films with Superman IV and Superman Returns. For the first one, I look at the history of it, how Cannon and Golan-Globus came to get this film, and what went wrong with their approach. Then with Superman Returns I look at the period between IV and this film, how comic books changed, and how this didn't do as well as Batman Begins, and why.

Todd Liebenow from Forgotten Filmcast is back on, this time to discuss "Deadly Prey," the AIP classic. We look at the sillier aspects and the brutal aspects, and explore whether or not this film is more self-aware than it seems. I'm also reminded of a Little League teammate's older brother who tried to gross us out by eating worms; and we discuss whether or not New York Seltzer helped fund the film, or just gave the production beverages.
