Episode #135: Lord of Illusions (1995)

Overhated ·

2024/11/14

Most of my conversations with writer / director / podcaster / dad Ben Rock revolve around the movies based on the works of Clive Barker. So that means this episode was pretty much inevitable. I think Rawhead Rex might be next on the docket. Big thank you to all patrons. P.S. check out the audio horror story Catchers on Audible. Ben wrote it with his partner Bob.

Episode #134: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Overhated ·

2024/11/11

Long before the franchise turned into an international lunatic circus that defies all known laws of physics, and rather stylishly I might add, the Fast Furious flicks were all about cars, man. And bros, bro. Speaking of bros., I'm joined by frequent guest Brian "Junkfood Cinema" Salisbury; we normally Bond flicks together, but we also like to break the rules. We're crazy.

Episode #133: Sabotage (2014)

If there's one thing you need to know about film critic Matt Singer, it's that he loves Arnold Schwarzenegger. And also that he has a book about Siskel & Ebert coming out later this year. Anyway here's me and Matt talking about an Arnold flick that arrived and vanished pretty dang quickly. Big thanks to Matt, who will be back to discuss Last Action Hero, and to all listeners.

Episode #132: 16 Blocks (2006)

Overhated ·

2024/11/04

This workmanlike action flick came and went back in early 2006, but considering it showcases some strong work from a great director, an immortal action star, and several rock-solid character actors, it definitely seems worthy of a revisit.

Episode #131: Moonraker (1979)

2024/10/31

Our Bond guru is back; the legendary Brian Salisbury returns to discuss another frequently lambasted James Bond movie, this time the outer space one. Yep, that one. That highly goofy one that arrived between The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only. It's time to Moonrake. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

Episode #130: Haunted Honeymoon (1986)

Overhated ·

2024/10/28

The wonderful, hilarious Gene Wilder will always be remembered for his work in Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Stir Crazy, and Willy Wonka -- among others, of course -- but the lovable clown also had his fair share of creative misfires. His final effort as director is, depending on who you ask, one such misfire. But it's still a rather difficult movie to dislike, especially if you love (very) old horror movies. Big thanks to my guest Andrew Carden (@AwardsConnect) for suggesting this one!

Episode #129: Knight and Day (2010)

Overhated ·

2024/10/24

It seemed like a pretty safe bet for the summer of 2010: an energetic action comedy (with romance!) from two of the planet's biggest, prettiest movie stars. But then it hit theaters, everyone from film critics to moviegoers said "meh, what else you got?" And despite a few good notices and some solid overseas business, it vanished pretty quickly. But is it overhated? Frequent guest / film critic Courtney Howard says, "well, yes. It is." Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more episodes

Episode #128: Waterworld (1995)

Overhated ·

2024/10/21

We had to cover this one eventually, and so I broke out a heavy hitter of a guest. That's right: Junkfood Cinema's Brian Salisbury is once again on hand to help deliver a very fun episode. Waterworld will always be remembered as one of the '90s most trashed, pilloried, and derided movies -- but that was then. Let's talk about now. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

Episode #127: The Goonies (1985)

Overhated ·

2024/10/17

I can already hear the cries of GenX-based incredulity. But yes, there are people who don't like The Goonies. I've read the articles. Plus I wonder if it speaks to younger generations at all, despite the good stuff. Anyway we just thought it would be a fun movie to discuss, and our resident Spielberg expert Erik Childress is on hand to offer his insights. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

Episode #126: Looker (1981)

Overhated ·

2024/10/14

Although best known for being a wildly popular author, the late Michael Crichton had a rather intriguing career as a screenwriter and movie director. Riding high after successes like Coma and The Great Train Robbery, Crichton set his sights on a satirical noir-ish chase thriller known as Looker. And every member of Generation X saw it at least once on HBO. Big thanks to returning guest Rodney Ascher, who is a director and massive movie fanatic, for choosing this diverting little time capsule of a

Episode #125: The Toxic Avenger (1984)

Overhated ·

2024/10/10

If you were a young movie nerd in the 1980s you had to have an opinion on these crazy new Troma movies. And if you wanted to know what a Troma movie was all about, you just had to start with the certifiably insane horror/superhero satire known as The Toxic Avenger. Big thanks to guest Ed Havens (@The80sMoviePod) for suggesting this one, and for bringing some solid historical context. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

Good ol' reliable Ben Rock (@neptunesalad) is back, and this time he's bringing along one of the weirdest, wackiest, and ickiest studio-released horror movies, maybe ever. No, not maybe!

Episode #123: King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

Overhated ·

2024/10/03

After seeing what Guy Ritchie did with Sherlock Holmes (twice!) it should come as no surprise to learn that his rendition of King Arthur is a hyper-kinetic, irreverent, and frequently insane movie. And boy did a lot of people dislike that combination. But I'm joined by the legendary Vern (yes, @outlawvern himself) to discuss why and how this flick might be, you guessed it, overhated.

Episode #121: Ready to Rumble (2000)

Overhated ·

2024/09/26

I know more about ancient Roman dating customs than I do about professional wrestling, so it's a good thing I have not one but two guests who seem to know their stuff, especially when it comes to this widely derided novelty comedy. Big thanks to patron and pal Paul Andolina (@scoochslam) for suggesting and discussing this one, and also to regular visitor Brian Salisbury of Junkfood Cinema, who offers a few random thoughts as well.

Episode #120: The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)

Overhated ·

2024/09/23

Ask a Bond fanatic to name the worst of all the movies and you're bound to get at least ten answers. OK maybe six. But for most of young life, Golden Gun was generally considered to be among the biggest snoozers in the whole franchise. So I talked to Junkfood Cinema's Brian Salisbury about it. He loves these flicks. Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more episodes at patreon.com/scottEweinberg. Subscribe to hear them all now!

I've spent a good deal of my time on this planet defending three very specific movies: Popeye, Flash Gordon, and 1941. I'm pleased to have Erik Childress (@erikthemovieman) join me for this super-sized episode of Overhated, because I still love this bizarre Spielberg comedy more than I probably should.

Episode #118: The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

I could easily devote an entire month of Overhated to the movies of Mr. Roland Emmerich, and I'd be smart to re-invite my guest, film critic Rachel West (@rachel_is_here), because she seems to get the appeal of these crazy disaster movies -- even when they're supremely goofy.

Episode #117: Apollo 18 (2011)

Overhated ·

2024/09/12

Found footage plus space horror sounds like a perfect equation for someone like me, but I remember walking away from this flick feeling disappointed, confused, and slightly annoyed. But you know who absolutely adores this movie? Prolific author, horror expert, and movie nut Daniel Kraus (@DanielDKraus), that's who(m)! Daniel's next novel is about a man who has to escape from inside a whale, and I cannot wait to read that. Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more episodes

Episode #116: Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)

Overhated ·

2024/09/09

The fourth sequel in the initial Planet of the Apes cycle seems to be a fairly divisive chapter among Ape nuts, and it's pretty easy to see why. Fortunately, I have returning guest Richard Jensen (@theragingcelt) on hand, who can explain what he likes about Apes Part 5, and why. And yes I'll get to the other Apes sequels eventually.
