On This Very Screen is back with a new episode?! PRAISE BE! That’s right, kids — with Marc finally finished with The Geek Show (which you can pick up for as little as $5, here), that means the boys are back in the studio, this time, with WWE Studios’ Christian movie, The Resurrection of Gavin Stone! In this Christ-filled comedy, the titular Gavin Stone (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D’s Brett Dalton) is a washed-up child actor sentenced to community service after a run-in with the law, leading to his greatest acting role yet as Jesus in his hometown church’s Easter play. WHAT COULD GO WRONG?!

Our resident cinephile, Aaron Weaver, joins us yet again for another laugh-filled romp as the boys examine what makes a good Christian movie, the undeniable charm of Hunky Brett Dalton (TM), and the notion that this movie might not be the trainwreck they thought it would be.

Did You Know? Jesus wasn’t white.

Welp, this is a weird one, Screenteam. After our last foray in episode 33 on Edge and Lana’s “Interrogation”, the boys all decided to take tiny bit of a break from WWE Studios, and instead treat ourselves to a bit of an acquired taste (but still in spirit of the show). This “critic’s pick” series gets handed off to Corey for a movie where the word “bizarre” is only the beginning — 1989’s Hell Comes To Frogtown, starring the late WWE Hall of Famer, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper.

In the near-future, the world has been decimated due to nuclear warfare, leaving the United States a dystopic, barren wasteland. Humanity is facing a population crisis and only one man, Sam Hell (Piper), can help alleviate that. Sent in to a reservation full of amphibious mutant humanoids to rescue eight fertile human women, Sam is joined by Sandahl Bergman as he shotguns and mugs his way through Frogtown. “Strange” doesn’t even begin to describe this as the boys (with show cinephile, Aaron Weaver, taking the fourth spot) get really philosophical about the various themes of this flick, discover frog puns days removed from watching it, and come to terms that MRA red-pillers will be around for a long, long time. Did we mention that Frogtown mutants have three dicks?

Did You Know? The “Dance of the Three Snakes” sequence originally called for Spangle (Sandahl Bergman) to be in the nude. Thankfully, after pointing out the contractual agreement saying she wasn’t obligated to, we instead got way more shots of the General Toty’s three wieners. Nice.

Cinephile Aaron Weaver is baaaaaaaaack with the boys on this episode of On This Very Screen as we dive head-first into one of the WWE Studios’ more recent offerings — Interrogation, starring WWE’s Edge and Lana.

In this bungled mess of an 24-style action thriller (that should have been a lot better than it was), Edge plays FBI special agent, Lucas Nolan — an expert interrogator assigned to sussing out a layered terror plot from self-professed terrorist, Patrick Sambongui. Filled with enough secrets and betrayals to make even fans of Basic blush, this movie gets the boys talking about what separates a “mind palace” from a “memory house,” their thoughts on the only neo-Nazi bar in Minnesota, and their take on one of the ballsiest twists  ever seen for a movie on this podcast.

Did You Know? According to IMDB, this movie took eleven days to shoot. Could have fooled us.

2017 is shooting by like a rocket, ScreenTeam, and thankfully, the boys (minus Paolo) team up with stand-up comic and podcaster, Tirumari Jothi, to discuss one of the more serious movies in WWE Studios’ catalog — the John Cena-starring, high school wrestling drama, Legendary!

In this flick, Devon Graye (Dexter, The Flash) plays Calvin “Cal” Chetley, a bullied bookworm who looks to turn his life around by joining his high school’s wrestling team. Unbeknownst to him, this puts him on a journey that reunites members of his estranged family and enables him to find closure regarding his father’s death. John Cena, playing his brother, is a 28 year-old hermit who takes Cal under his wrestling wing, being a “legendary” high school wrestler, himself. Throughout the episode, the boys explore more of Marc’s weird SVU spider-sense, look back on their awkward high school attempts at strolling down “Boob Boulevard,” and why it’s really important to watch the whole beginning of the movie so you don’t think you’re some genius when you “figure out” something that was clearly established at the start.

Did You Know? Our guest for this episode, Tirumari Jothi, ALSO runs Super Trashed Bros., a “crowdsourced videogame drinking game broadcasting live from the San Francisco Bay Area.” Tirumari, however, received those reins from prior OTVS guest, O.J. Patterson, who joined us for episode 10 as we saw “No Holds Barred.”

Salutations, ScreenTeam! The boys are back in the studio (joined once again by their favorite local cinephile, Aaron Weaver) with a look at WWE Studios’ biggest hit to date — The Call (2013), starring Academy freakin’ Award-winning Halle Berry, Academy freakin’ Award-nominated Abigail Breslin, and Academy freakin’ Award-invited Morris Chestnut.

In this surprisingly taut thriller, Halle Berry plays Jordan Turner, a disillusioned 911 emergency services operator who’s in a race against time to save abducted teen Casey (Breslin) from the clutches of a reckless psychopath in WWE Studios MVP, Michael Ecklund. Throughout the episode, the boys explore what it takes to properly conduct a daytime kidnapping, what NOT to do when spontaneously murdering someone at a gas station, and the absolute ACTING CLINIC that WWE superstar/commentator, David Otunga, puts on when Vince “Goddammit” McMahon isn’t yelling in his ear.

Did You Know? Robert Altman is apparently a very famous director.

…is it too early to say, “Merry Christmas?” ScreenTeam, we at On This Very Screen want to apologize for the lack of updates, here. Over the holidays, we ran into some crazy server issues, bad timing with each other’s availability, and generally, just not liking Corey enough to want to do any more episodes. Thankfully, all that’s been figured out now, and we are BACK — in the holiday spirit, no less!

On this episode, the boys (joined by previous guest, Aaron Weaver) take on Jingle All The Way 2, the spiritual sequel to Marc’s favorite holiday movie to star Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad. In this flick, Larry the Cable Guy (yes, that one) plays a happy-go-lucky father competing with his daughter’s new stepfather over who’s going to deliver Christmas’s hottest toy, first. Holiday shenanigans are abound as the boys wax poetic about the importance of literacy, class warfare in Christmas form, and how, exactly, a WWE Studios Christmas movie has anything to do with Law & Order: SVU.

Did You Know? In the very strange (and perhaps unnecessary) mechanical reindeer competition scene, Claude (played by WWE’s Santino) lasts approximately one second — the same amount of time he lasted in a Royal Rumble. It is also the same amount of time Marc needed to realize he made a grave mistake creating this podcast.

Every now and then as a podcaster, you sit down and do a show that can be considered “chaos in a bottle.” At On This Very Screen, the temptation to do that is stronger than you think, especially when you’ve got a certified stinker to watch and everyone’s still full off Thanksgiving turkey. Long story short? THIS is that show.

On this episode, the boys take on Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia, and get a lot more than they bargain for. Starring Joe Manganiello (True Blood, Justice League), Keith David (The Thing, They Live) and former WWE Superstar, Mr. Kennedy (Kennedy),  this movie takes us to South America where a group of Navy Seals have to find their way out of enemy territory after an op gone horribly wrong. Throughout the show, the OTVS crew goes off on every tangent imaginable — from the genius of Magic Mike movies, old FMV video games, and of course, Goldberg’s shirtless son.

Did You Know? Joe “Deathstroke” Manganiello is a lifelong wrestling fan, and has been spotted with wife Sofia Vergara at at least one PWG show in Southern California. His impressions of the Macho Man Randy Savage as well as “Ravishing” Rick Rude are also the stuff of legend.

 

In this New America, On This Very Screen looks to its favorite, most enduring patriot when we finally crack open a feature we’ve been talking about for ages: The Bollea Collection. And when it comes to our favorite American hero (brother), we had no problem starting this special podcast series off with the 1991 action/comedy gem, Suburban Commando. In this mullet-infused, skateboard-riding, cinematic equivalent of Zubaz pants, Hulk “Terry Bollea” Hogan plays Shep Ramsey, an intergalactic space warrior who arrives on Earth to… charge his car battery, essentially. Living with a suburban family headed by Christopher Lloyd and Shelley Duvall, Shep learns the ways of Earth by basically destroying fucking everyone and everything he happens to come across, all while avoiding space bounty hunters (one of whom, you might recognize).

In this episode, the boys discuss early ’90s nostalgia, the unbearably long (and numerous) montages of the Hulkster getting used to Earth, and another strange heel turn/face turn that may or not allude to a “highly-touted” gay love scene between Hogan and Christopher Lloyd.

Did You Know? The original casting for this movie had Arnold Schwarzenegger in the titlular role, with Danny Devito playing Christopher Lloyd’s part. Unfortunately, this project was passed on by both actors, and instead given to Hogan/Lloyd to prove, once and for all, that cocaine use can be on both sides of the camera.

Happy Halloween, ScreenTeam! Or should I say “Scream Team” (eat a dick, Abrigo)? For the second part of our Halloween double-shot, we here at OTVS keep it to the usual Musketeers to dive into the cinematic bloodbath, No One Lives (2012), starring charming, Hollywood leading man Luke Evans, and… “funkasaurus,” Brodus Clay! Now, with a title like No One Lives, you shouldn’t be surprised this flick is a full-on 78-minute gore bonanza that centers on a group of robbers who kidnaps a wealthy couple, only to find out that one of them (Evans) isn’t exactly as helpless as he looks. In this admittedly chaotic episode, the boys talk Halloween plans, compare Evans’ “Driver” protagonist to the Doctor, and absolutely gush about a scene where a certain someone is literally worn as a meat suit — and we ain’t talking Lady Gaga.

Did You Know? This movie was directed was Ryuhei Kitamura, the man behind 2008 cult horror flick, “Midnight Meat Train” starring Bradley Cooper, Vinny Jones, and Leslie Bibb. No joke, here, folks — that’s a totally badass movie that you gotta check out, like, yesterday.

 

Here comes Halloween for the OTVS crew, as the boys are back with friend of the show, Aaron Weaver from Two Cats Comic Book Store, for the first of our WWE Studios horror double-shot! In this episode, Paolo gives us a quick report from being at both Smackdown and Raw this week and describes what can only be called the “eye of the wrestling storm.” Afterwards, they jump right into what might just be the worst movie ever reviewed here at On This Very Screen — the prequel to an “iconic” franchise that absolutely nobody asked for in 2014: Leprechaun: Origins! In it, the boys discuss the murky “mythology” of the film, the sheer nonsense of its plot and character motivations (even for horror standards), and the theory that this entire movie may just be an ill-fated homage to Steven Spielberg. Feeling lucky?

Did You Know? According to IMDB, Dylan “Hornswoggle” Postl hadn’t seen any of the previous movies in the Leprechaun franchise, and vowed not to do so, so as to create his own version of the titular character. Thankfully, he wasn’t playing that character, and instead played a dumb monster in a rubber suit.
