Re-AniMates

Another Internet Cautionary Tale, this time from 1995- it's Cyberstalker/Digital Prophet, with guest Bec Petraitis (Stupid Old Studios)! Jeff has a small but interesting role in this very 90s, very low budget film, but, more importantly, we discuss the Important Issues of internet aesthetics, Disney cruises and whatever happened to alfalfa (the food, not the Rascal.)

What if phones but too much, and also a terrible family hotel? This week I'm joined by Martin Dunlop and Harry Brimage to look at a newie! Stream came out like two months ago so it's good and fresh. Enjoy goopy blood, veteran horror actors, very realistic Frenchman and, most importantly, LOTS OF JEFF. Plus: Harry's wildly specific ick.

Nicholas J. Johnson joins me to chat about the Lovecraftian, fan-service-y, bit confusing, magicky, oddly horror-y Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham (2023). Thankfully Nic knows more about comics than I do (which is nothing). Learn along with me! Plus: Horror Movie Chat, and the man-bat division principal.

How many puns can you fit into one show title? What's Arsenio Hall up to these days? And how do compasses work anyway? Andy Matthews (Two In The Think Tank) joins me in the CombsCave to discuss these queries and more as we look at "In The Dark", S2/E20 of Martial Law (2000), a very 'new millennium' cop show. Also features: yet more Manhandled Jeff, some alarming green-screen action and the least amusing bloopers ever set to celluloid. Don't worry, though- Andy also has a song for us.

Zooooom! Rob and Lucy Caruana jump in my little sidecar to look at Cyclone (1987), a film with an unfortunately underused Jeff but a good chunk of 80s fashion and oh-so-futuristic tech. It's a Fred Olen Ray piece, so you'll see a few of our friends from The Phantom Empire, plus a motorbike that looks like it was made by Elon Musk (derogatory)

Fair warning, even more tangents than usual on this ep, where me and Sam Petersen are (ostensibly) covering "Walhalla", a season 13 episode of SpongeBob Squarepants. Jeff plays a fun and deeply unhinged Wall Man but, more importantly, we dig into a fair amount of cringe Aussie TV culture, 90s Nicktoons and the criminally underrated Tony Shalhoub.

Cheap as chips but nowhere near as tasty, Dead Man Walking (1988) is an interesting action (?) sci-fi (??) relic of the VHS era that artist/funny person Raine helped me decipher. The film is no masterpiece but it does feature some primo Nervous Jeff, Manhandled Jeff, Sassy Jeff and Wings Hauser. Plus, probably the worst kissing scene in cinema! Cool! Set down those erotic thrillers and give it a listen.

Put a shoe on your head and log onto the latest episode of Re-AniMates, where Matt Stewart (Do Go On) helps me decipher a very 2014 episode of Criminal Minds, "The Black Queen" (S9/E12).

You're going to learn so much about hacking into the mainframe, decade-old memes and how long it takes Lisa to recognise Jeff by voice alone (spoiler: it's not long enough to be healthy!!!). Turn off Destiny's Child and listen in.

Yee-haw! Back post-CombsFest with a ripper ep featuring Tim Clark, covering "Lady Smoke", an episode of the 1987 buddy (?) cop show Houston Knights. It's your classic Chicago-cop-gets-transferred-to-Houston-to-protect-him-from-a-mob-hit situation, featuring more actors from Streets of Fire than you expect, and a lot of dodgy police behaviour (shocking). Look out for more Jeff Sassy Walk.

Prepare to violate the territorial bubble of...The Frighteners! Me and comedian Chad Opitz look at the 1996 Peter Jackson horror-comedy that, for your humble host, started it all! We delve deep into the mythos of Special Agent Milton Dammers, as well as stupid-ass memes, video shops and...Busey. 

If you're in Melbourne, don't forget the First Annual Jeffrey Combs Film Festival is happening soon! July 19-21, 2024 at the Motley Bauhaus in Carlton. Head here for films, times and tickets.
