New Release

This week on New Release … undercover prisoners Ashley and Drew (where’s Derrick?) are forced to re-evaluate one of their childhood action heroes. How does the version of Jean-Claude Van Damme we get in Death Warrant compare to Bloodsport or Lionheart or even Street Fighter? Let’s just say our feelings were mixed. If you’ve even been let down by someone you love, then join us for a healing JCVD therapy session. This is a safe space. Search ‘New Release’ on Spotify or Apple to subscribe. Tune in Friday 📺

This week on New Release … disaffected disc jockeys Derrick, Ashley, and Drew (D.A.D.) tune into a pirate radio frequency they can’t get enough of. Pump Up the Volume features Christian Slater as a shock jock of sorts named “Happy Harry Hard-on” aka “Hard Harry”. Slater channels all the teen rage and cynicism he displayed in Heathers, except he’s now found a more healthy / less murder-y way to get his message out. You can hear for yourself by turning the old podcast dial to NR radio each week. It might be a bumpy ride from time to time but that’s how we like it :) Search ‘New Release’ on Spotify or Apple to subscribe. Tune in Friday 📺

This week on New Release … disfigured crusaders Ashley, Derrick, and Drew discover an overlooked superhero story that pops and sizzles on the big screen. Darkman, directed by Sam Raimi, is scientifically incapable of being boring. After all, this is the guy who brought you Evil Dead and eventually Spider-Man. Pair Raimi’s frenetic energy with Liam Neeson and Frances McDormand and you won’t be able to look away. Did I mention, it’s one of the first R-rated superhero movies ever?

This week on New Release … firecrackers Ashley, Derrick, and Drew bite off a big ole hunk of burning Cage & Dern love. Wild at Heart is a road romance unlike any you’ve seen before because Lynch movies are always singular in nature. He pours high octane gasoline on the lit fuse that is Nic Cage and let’s the blood, sex, and heavy metal ensue with reckless abandon. There are inexplicable perversions, diversions, and copious Wizard of Oz references. Even by Lynch standards, this is one weird ass ride. Exhibit A: Willam Dafoe’s sleazebag turn as Bobby Peru (like the country) that’s sure to make your skin crawl.

The week on New Release … catatonic crusaders Ashley, Derrick, and Drew look pure evil in the face and live to talk about it, mostly. The Exorcist III, aka the good Exorcist sequel, departs from the original in several clever ways. Is it horror or is it a psychological serial killer thriller? Don’t put Damien in a box. There’s a lot of twisted humor, artful cinematography, and one or two cameos you have to see to believe.

This week on New Release … adrenaline junkies Ashley, Derrick, and Drew get down with a movie that takes on life, death, and life after death. Flatliners is a deeply weird, star-studded affair with all the subtly of a defibrillator. You get Keifer Sutherland in a pissing contest with Kevin Bacon while Julia Roberts tries—and fails—to keep us grounded. All I can say is you’re about to come back from this journey with a new set of personal demons.

This week on New Release … burnouts Ashley, Derrick, and Drew took a week off going to the movies so we could look back (and forward) on this one-of-kind summer of film. What do Mogwai, Mars, and Bruce Willis have in common with NASCAR? Hell if we know, but they’ll end up getting run over by the GHOST of Patrick Swayze in the end. Now, with the more mainstream fare out the way, ‘tis time for the Summer of 1990 to get really weird. We’ve got demons, Flatliners, and a splash of Lynch-Cage to round things out. Don’t go anywhere.

This week on New Release … webmasters Ashley, Derrick, and Drew (with a special mystery guest appearance) crawl into a world of creepiness.

This week on New Release … lost souls Ashley (who’s back!), Derrick (who’s dead), and Drew (who’s in limbo) discuss the biggest breakout hit of 1990.
