DTVC Podcast

We're joined once again by screenwriter Tom Jolliffe to talk about his newest film, the Shogun Films release "Renegades." We talk about why this movie is one you need to see, plus Tom gives us a lot of background about why decisions were made, and what they were going for with certain elements. This is a fun movie, made by action fans for action fans, and we get into how this is much more than your usual DTV actioner.

Currently you can rent "Renegades" via VOD here in the States, and then on January 30th it'll be available to stream in the UK. Check it out as soon as you can!

The DTVC podcast is back, and we're wrapping up the year in style with Dolph Lundgren's "Command Performance." I'm joined by Scott Murphy of the New Horror Express and All 90s Action, All The Time! podcasts, as we look at this Dolph directed DTV classic, where he plays a drummer who's the fly in the ointment of a Die Hard scenario, this time at a concert venue. Those baddies won't know what hit them, because, as Dolph says, "Dyin' is easy, rock n' roll is hard."

In this episode we're looking at the Dolph Lundgren talking dog Christmas movie from 2021, "Pups Alone," and who better to join us than Mitch from the Video Vacuum. Spoiler alert, this one was a bit of a rough sit, so after we're done going over where we felt things went wrong, we cleanse the palate with a discussion on the Dan Haggerty Christmas classic, "Elves". You can find Mitch at the Video Vacuum at https://thevideovacuum.blogspot.com/ and his latest book, The Bloody Book of Horror, the perfect addition for any horror collection, at https://www.amazon.com/Bloody-Book-Horror-Mitch-Lovell-ebook/dp/B07B6TBVG1

We're joined once again by Will from Exploding Helicopter (who also came up with the title for this episode) as we look at two DTV films that featured former James Bonds. We have "Made Men" featuring Timothy Dalton as a local sheriff in a small town, along with the great James Belushi as a guy who may or may not have stolen money from the mob; and then "Live Wire," featuring Pierce Brosnan as a bomb expert who's up against a new kind of explosive that involves humans as bombs! You can find the Exploding Helicopter podcast on iTunes and other major podcatchers, and on his site, https://www.explodinghelicopter.com/ for all things, including links to social media, like his fantastic Twitter account.

This episode I'm joined by Ty from Comeuppance Reviews to discuss two Bruce Willis films, "American Siege" and "A Day to Die." With "American Siege," we look at the myriad Poor Man's versions of actors in the film, try to make sense of the story, and how Willis fits in. Then with "A Day to Die," it's not just about Willis, but also the deconstruction of Johnny Drama, plus we fire up the Grillo to discuss Frank Grillo's role in the film. You can find Ty on the Comeuppance Reviews podcast, which is on most major podcatchers, and the Comeuppance Reviews website at comeuppancereviews.net.

In this episode I'm joined once again by screenwriter and cinephile Tom Jolliffe, as we discuss the great Mark Dacascos and his classic "Drive." We talk about what makes this movie such an action mainstay, why it may not have gotten a theatrical release, and why theatrical success has eluded Dacascos as well. Tom's latest film, "When Darkness Falls," is currently available to stream for free in the US on Tubi and Peacock, or you can buy it on DVD; and you can find Tom's articles on Flickering Myth here: https://www.flickeringmyth.com/author/tom-jolliffe/

In our first episode on Anchor FM, I'm going solo to look at three Bruce Willis films, "Out of Death," "Hard Kill," and "Vendetta." How did I make out? I think the word "slog," came up a few times, as did "enough material for an episode of a syndicated action show." I also discuss Willis's legacy, and how these kinds of films may or may not have an effect, plus, have we reached the tipping point with these movies?
