Episode #91: Career Opportunities (1991)

Overhated ·

2024/06/13

When you think of the late John Hughes, you probably recall beloved movies like The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, or Planes, Trains & Automobiles. But the man did have his name on a fair share of semi-forgotten films too. Which brings us to Career Opportunities and my good friend, film critic Erik Childress (@erikthemovieman).

Episode #90: Halloween II (2009)

Overhated ·

2024/06/10

Safe to say that Rob Zombie's movies have proven to be fairly divisive among horror fans, which is a good thing because differing opinions inspire compelling conversations. (I just made that up.) And one of Mr. Zombie's most "love it or hate it" movies is 2009's Halloween II, so I sat down with film critic / horror nut Dede Crimmins (@dedecrim) to discuss it.

Episode #89: Vertical Limit (2000)

Overhated ·

2024/06/06

For a movie that A) made $215,000,000, B) played on HBO virtually every day for three years, and C) came free with the purchase of most DVD players, this mountain climbing flick is virtually forgotten. And the critics weren't all that nice to it either. But my guest Sarah Bea Milner (@sarahbeamilner) remembers this movie quite fondly indeed. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

Episode #88: Hawk the Slayer (1980)

Overhated ·

2024/06/03

Back in the late 1970s and early '80s you couldn't swing a sword without hitting a few high fantasy films. The studios had their pricey efforts like Dragonslayer, Legend, and Labyrinth, and the indie world had tons of cheaper releases like Ator the Fighting Eagle, Deathstalker, The Beastmaster, and the British cult classic known simply as Hawk the Slayer. Big thanks to author and screenwriter Gary Whitta (@garywhitta) for suggesting this movie. Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more

Episode #87: Dead Silence (2007)

Overhated ·

2024/05/30

As a director, we can thank James Wan for the massively popular horror franchises called Saw, Insidious, and The Conjuring. But he's also had one of two stumbles at the box office. Case in point: Dead Silence! Big thanks to Alexandra Burwood (@obsessafilma) for suggesting this movie. PS: this episode is a bit shorter than usual, and it's my fault. We had an irritating audio glitch in the mid-section, so I had to cut about six minutes. To make up for it, Alexandra will be back soon to discuss a

Episode #86: Cocktail (1988)

Overhated ·

2024/05/27

If it was Risky Business and Top Gun that launched Tom Cruise into the Hollywood stratosphere, then it was Cocktail that cemented a rule that would last another 20+ years, and that rule is this: Tom Cruise owns Hollywood. For this episode I'm joined by Cocktail fan Nick Larue (@filmsnobbery)! Join us on a brief trip back to 1988, when clothes were awful and neon was prevalent. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

I'm joined by my old friend Eric D. Snider (that's @ericDsnider) to discuss Predator Part 4 and this might just be the silliest episode of Overhated, ever.

Episode #84: Suicide Squad (2016)

It's easy to forget this movie even happened, given how massive popular the "do-over" movie turned out to be, but in this episode I'm joined by one Patrick Bartlett (@alleywaykrew), and he may just be the biggest fan this film has ever had.

2024/05/16

Joe Leydon has been a film critic since before the internet existed, so I was very pleased to get him on Overhated. In this episode we sit down to discuss one of his favorite topics: the western. More specifically, a dropped and forgotten western from 2016 that might be worth a second look. Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more episodes at patreon.com/scottEweinberg.

Episode #82: Fantastic Four (2015)

Overhated ·

2024/05/13

They have yet to join the MCU in an official capacity, but the Fantastic Four has already received four movie adaptations! One you've probably never seen, two you've probably forgotten about, and the infamous 2015 version that everyone seems to hate. Except for one man: my guest John @Gholson: writer, artist, actor, and comic book mega-nerd. Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more episodes at patreon.com/scottEweinberg.

Episode #81: The New Mutants (2020)

Overhated ·

2024/05/09

After numerous unexpected delays, this afterthought of an X-Men entry hit theaters and was then quickly forgotten -- but is it actually a bad movie? I'm joined by my old friend Rob Dean (@neuroticmonkey), a comic book & horror nerd who's happy to go to bat for the young mutants. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

Episode #80: Robocop 2 (1990)

Overhated ·

2024/05/06

This insane sequel upped the violence, the satire, and the nastiness to a dizzying degree, and it still holds up as one of the darkest, strangest Hollywood sequels ever made. Listen in as I discuss the movie with comic book editor Andy Khouri (@andykhouri), who of course has some insights on Robocop 2 screenwriter Frank Miller. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

Episode #79: Gamer (2009)

Critics hated it, audiences mostly ignored it, but if 2009's Gamer were to become a cult film, the support would start right about now.

Episode #77: Dragonslayer (1981)

Overhated ·

2024/04/25

This medieval adventure tale was meant to be a family film, to a degree, but things didn't really work out that way -- mainly because the movie, to its credit, is a lot darker than one would normally expect from the Disney brand. But enough typing. Listen in as I discuss Dragonslayer with Mr. Vincenzo Natali (@Vincenzo_Natali), a filmmaker you'll know if you've seen high-end genre films like Cube, Splice, or In the Tall Grass (or TV series like Hannibal, The Strain, or Westworld).

Episode #76: Newsies (1992)

Overhated ·

2024/04/22

This Disney musical vanished from theaters real quick back in 1992, but it managed to do three things: it helped kick-start the career of Christian Bale, it grew a very strong following of fans over the course of 20 years, and then it inspired a huge Broadway hit. So it's a fun story. Big thanks to my friend Laura Fawcett (@roguefour) for sitting in on this one. Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more episodes at patreon.com/scottEweinberg.

The phrase "The Great White Hope" has been used in professional boxing for decades, so that's where the movie's title comes from. But how well does the satire hold up in this semi-forgotten ensemble comedy from the mid-1990s? Join me and my pal J.C. DeLeon (@jcdeleon1) to find out.
