This week, we're talking about arguably the last major film of Roy Scheider's career, in which he briefly appears as Frank Castle's father in 2004's THE PUNISHER! We talk Thomas Jane, compare the film to the 1989 version, and have a lot of thoughts about this period of pre-MCU comic book adaptations!

This week, Roy Scheider pops up for one scene in the direct-to-video sequel to DRACULA 2000, it's DRACULA II: ASCENSION!

This week, Roy Scheider gets an unlikely co-star: Trash TV legend Jerry Springer! Scheider plays the governor of Florida in a world where high-profile court cases get turned into AMERICAN IDOL-style TV shows, where the viewers at home get to vote whether the defendant is innocent or guilty. Think THE RUNNING MAN meets NETWORK, but... not quite as good as either of those. It's time for CITIZEN VERDICT!
