I'm flying solo this week, as I dig into four films I watched for a small Adkins Fest a couple weeks ago. I start with the Dolph-directed Castle Falls, then move onto a James Nunn double feature of Eliminators and One Shot, then wrap up with Hard Target 2. And since I have no guest to plug, I'll plug my two novels, Chad in Accounting and A Girl and a Gun. Grab one or both on Amazon, either in paperback or Kindle.

In this episode, I'm joined once again by the guys at Comeuppance, as we count down our favorite Frank Zagarino movies. Featured previously on an episode called "The Other Guys," he now gets his own spotlight here. You can find The Comeuppance Reviews podcast on iTunes and other major podcatchers, and the site at comeuppancereviews.net.

In this episode we delve into more Godfrey Ho with Mitch Lovell of the Video Vacuum. We look at two of his movies, "Ninja Terminator" and "Robo Vampire", and talk about not only the process of combining movies, but also how he took something like how he heard Americans were into Garfield, and turned that into Richard Harrison talking on a Garfield phone. You can find Mitch at https://thevideovacuum.blogspot.com/ and his book on Amazon by looking him up name, Mitch Lovell.

In this episode, I'm joined by filmmaker Kevin Vonesper to discuss his upcoming documentary, "The Life and Slimes of Dukey Flyswatter," which covers the career of Dukey Flyswatter, lead singer of the legendary horror themed band Haunted Garage, and screenwriter and actor who has worked names like Fred Olen Ray, David DeCoteau, and Brinke Stevens. Kevin is still working on his documentary, and has an Indie Go-Go campaign that you can donate to to get this project over the finish line. You can go to https://www.dukeydoc.com/ for more information, plus links to the Indie Go-Go and all social media.

In this episode I'm joined once again by Ty and Brett from Comeuppance Reviews as we count down our top 5 Matthias Hues movies. We also get into a bit of why he was such a huge--both figuratively and literally--part of the DTV action golden age of the late 80s and early 90s. You can find the guys of Comeuppance at comeuppancereviews.net, and can check out their podcast on iTunes or most other major podcatchers.

Note: this episode was recorded before it was revealed that Bruce Willis was suffering from aphasia. In light of that news, we know now why he was making the number of films he was making, and how the productions were working to mitigate his circumstances to help him through, and that would have changed that part of our conversation.

In this episode, I'm joined by Will from Exploding Helicopter as we discuss the phenomenon of 90s virtual reality action movies, in particular Virtual Combat, Expect No Mercy, and Cyberjack aka Virtual Assassin. We look at the "science" behind the concepts the movies went for, plus I give Will a short tutorial on the hierarchy of American sports degeneracy, and then get bogged down in myriad asides about things like a 50% tax on VR experiences and the plausibility of Americans ever funding a high-speed train between Las Vegas and Los Angeles. You can find Will at https://www.explodinghelicopter.com/, and his podcast on all your major podcatchers.

In this episode I'm joined by Richard Hawes of the DTV Digest as we look at two films by writer/director Steven Kaman, Total Force, and the sequel/reboot/possible mix of both Absolute Force. We get into the craziness that is the first one, and try to figure out what's happening; but then also try to figure out why the second one is much more of a straight-ahead actioner. You can find Richard on the DTV Digest podcast at https://thedtvdigest.podbean.com/

In this episode I'm joined by Mitch from The Video Vacuum as we look at schlock auteurs Fred Olen Ray and Jim Wynorski. We start with the Ray directed Don "The Dragon" Wilson film Inferno, then discuss the DC comic book great Return of Swamp Thing, directed by Wynorski. You can find The Video Vacuum at thevideovacuum.blogspot.com, and his books at Amazon by typing Mitch Lovell into the search bar.

In this episode I'm joined by Francis Rizzo III of the KilmerKast podcast to discuss "Paydirt". We look at Kilmer's part in it, plus how Luke Goss did, and Kilmer's scenes with his daughter Mercedes. We also get into the modern movie theater experience, and have a short conversation at the end about the NHL. You can find KilmerKast on iTunes and other podcatchers.

In this episode, I'm joined once again by the guys from Comeuppance Reviews, as we discuss two guys who really played a part in making the 90s what they were, Malibu (Deron McBee) and Evan Lurie. We do a top three for each, plus get into how guys like these, who weren't always the stars, are another reason why that period from the late 80s to early 90s was so superior for DTV action. You can check out Comeuppance Reviews at comeuppancereviews.net, plus their podcast on iTunes and other major pod catchers.
