The late '70s and early '80s were littered with all sorts of truly weird musicals, some of which have stood the test of time (like Grease), and many of which exist as relics of a truly bizarre era... like The Apple. Join me and filmmaker / podcaster / cinema junkie Julia Marchese as we discuss The Apple, a wide variety of these weird musicals, and the beauty of Stephen King adaptations. This last part comes up because Julia recently directed a short film based on King's short story, "I Know What You Need," which is super cool.

How did a movie with this much talent on both sides of the camera end up losing almost $50 million for its production company? I'm not entirely sure, but there are several good theories. Join me and frequent guest Andrew Carden as he breaks down why he has a lot of affection for this underloved Frank Darabont / Jim Carrey collaboration.

Audiences seemed mostly disinterested; critics were right on the fence; and the box office was generally unimpressive, all things considered. But who cares about all that stuff? How does Brad Bird's family-friendly sci-fi epic hold up after a particularly long eight years? My guest Rob Hunter (of the excellent Film School Rejects) offers a strong defense of this scrappily optimistic and undeniably beautiful-looking movie. (My apologies for using the word scrappily.)

Former film critic turned sassy wise-ass Eric D. Snider joins me once again, this time to discuss a darkly colorful movie best described as Act I of Superman combined with most of Damien: Omen II.

I'm joined by Overhated Bond expert Brian J. Salisbury to discuss an 007 adventure that may rank among the franchise's most underappreciated chapter. Great conversation if you ask me.

For decades there was a "pirate movie curse" that doomed every movie that dared to dip its toe into that particular pool. (That curse was ultimately broken by Captain Jack Sparrow, of course.) And the poster child for that pirate movie curse has got to be Renny Harlin's 1995 financial disaster Cutthroat Island. But fortunately we have frequent guest Fred Topel on hand to offer a firm defense of a movie that lost about $100,000,000 and helped destroy an entire production company.

Once credited as the most expensive movie ever made, Rambo III is now mainly remembered for some uncomfortable political history, but does it hold up as just an enjoyably straightforward action flick? Well, author / humorist / "Effin' Birds" creator Aaron Reynolds is here to plead the film's case.  

Note: there are some mild audio glitches in the second half of the episode. I duly apologize for this, and I blame those effin' birds.

You could probably write a book on the insane headaches that took place on the Exorcist franchise between 2003 and 2005, or you could just listen to this episode of Overhated! Big thanks to reliable ol' Brian Salisbury, of Junkfood Cinema, for picking a film that's not only seasonal (it's October) and topical (Exorcist Part 6 just hit theaters), but also actually deserves a second look.   Thanks for listening to Overhated!

Few movies of the 1990s have been discussed, debated, and rediscovered as much as Alien 3 has. So now it's time for Overhated to take a swing! We cover everything from that infuriating prologue to the rotten way David Fincher was treated by Fox executives, and by "we" I mean me and the co-hosts of a very fun podcast called Puppet Masters / Castle Freaks: Jarrod Hornbeck & Steve Guntli!
