This week Rich and Mike tackle two different films called GENESIS(albeit one of the full titles is Genesis: Fall of the Crime Empire) - two films with sci-fi themes but very different from each other! Not only that but Mike and Will take a look at a new Australian horror movie, OUT OF THE SHADOWS. On top of that there is a huge stack of trailers to take a look at (see footnotes below) in the COMING SOON section, as well as the usual DTV CHART and WASHING UP!

Welcome to our special DEBT COLLECTOR episode! This week, Mike and Will take a long look at the latest collaboration between Jesse Johnson and Scott Adkins, a film whose tone really surprised Will and features a good handful of well-known actors (and one particular star on the rise). This episode also features an exclusive interview with Jesse Johnson - apologies for my questions being rather badly recorded (Jesse's answers are much clearer as he was wearing a mic!)

THE DEBT COLLECTOR was due for a release on DVD but got pullled from release schedules rather late in the day, so we've delayed the release of this episode until we knew more, as we wanted to coincide with the release. Then yesterday we discovered that the film had forgone the usual DVD release and gone straight to streaming media! As a result, I've re-recorded the DTV Chart to make it more relevant but the other sections are as Will and Mike recorded them.

Here's a link to Amazon's rental page

THE DEBT COLLECTOR

Please excuse my voice this week folks - I lost my voice a few days before and was still pretty rough during the recording! I've managed to edit out most of the coughing but there's still some in there so please bear with me!

Anyhoo, this week we take a good hard look at Nicolas Cage, as he has had three movies out recently and we've rounded them up to take a gander. First up is THE HUMANITY BUREAU, a curious sci-fi action film with some nice anti-Trump nuggets here and there. Second we have the "based on a true story" movie 211, in with about-to-retire cop Nic Cage finds himself stumbling onto a quartet of very violent bank robbers. Finally we have MOM AND DAD, in which Cage co-stars with Selma Blair as a parents who find themselves overcome with the need to murder their children. Can this film help me overcome my aversion to anything directed by Brian Taylor (Crank/Gamer)? Tune in to find out.

In addition we also have the usual sections - the DTV CHART, COMING SOON and WASHING UP.

With World Cup Fever raging on and about to come to a peak on Sunday night - our usual recording slot, Mike and Rich take advantage of the turmoil and take another look at the world of short films. This week we have a total of 12 shorts, coming to a total running time of approx 3hrs 51min between them. In this selection you will find PARTITIONED HEART and TO BE ALONE - two films which deal with a person going through the grieving process, 18, a film which harks back to the harrowinig Public Information adverts from the 70's and 80's, ROSE TIGER, in which a young girl wants to be like Bruce Lee, SWEET WATER and FTL, two fx-heavy sci-fi movies, HELLMEN OF AGENCY 9, a strange mix of sci-fi and political thriller, the thrilling animated TANK, and the first instalment of CASH: THE SERIES. Our final two films are the fan-film THE BROKEN GEAR (based on the FINAL FIGHT video game) and the wonderful BLINDSIDED: THE GAME. On top of all of this there is the usual DTV Chart, Coming Soon and Washing Up sections!

In the midst of the World Cup, we've got an eclectic mix of films, from the sublime to the ridiculous! This week, Mike and Dave take a look at Pool Party Massacre, a homage to the classic slashers of yesteryear. This is followed up with the real deal - XTRO, an 80's cult classic which has been given a rather stellar blu ray special edition. Next up is FLIGHT FROM HELL, the previous instalment to Lost in the Pacific which we reviewed a while back! And finally, there's MOHAWK, the second feature by TED GEOGHEGEN (apologies Ted for mispronouncing your name at the beginning of the episode!).
