Ep60—The Lion, the Witch, and the BBC (Part I)

Seen on the Small Screen Podcast ·

2026/03/31

Prepare to enter a world of fantasy, something like the NeverEnding Story with the special effects of Classic Doctor Who, an origin story so well known that Becky, Jake, and Sammy the Cat may as well be talking about the origin story of Batman. What we're talking about here is a BBC adaptation with actors speaking in bona fide accents, all to be found in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The time period is the Second World War and siblings Peter, Susan, Edmond, and Lucy are ta...

Ep59—A Dragonhearted Adventure of Eggsellence

Seen on the Small Screen Podcast ·

2026/03/01

Around 38 episodes ago, Becky, Jake, and Sammy the cat set out on an adventure to watch all the films in a heart-warming franchise about some dragons and their medieval buddies. That enterprise now continues in, Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse. In an alternate history of England we have Hadrian's Wall, built more like the Wall of China, effectively keeping the northern tribes and magic users in their neck of the hood. Meanwhile, in a random southern settlement with no name, a knight-in-tr...

2026/01/30

February's episode of Seen on the Small Screen welcomes back a special guest, meaning the only guest to have graced the mics with Becky, Jake, and Sammy the Cat. Our good friend Gregg Paschall (welcome any time he wishes) has brought along with him a movie among movies from wealthy architect turned movie-maker Neil Breen directing, producing, and starring in the film Fateful Findings.

2026/01/03

Happy 2026, everyone! In today's audio program, Becky, Jake, and Sammy the cat ring in the new year talking about one of many attempts by Marvel Comics to bring their mainstream characters to the big and small screen. Today's movie marks one of those endeavors with action star Reb Brown (of Space Mutiny fame) donning the shield, helmet and star-spangled outfit of Captain America. This movie takes the slow road in its approach to the hero's origin, chronicling one Steve Rogers, fresh out...

2025/12/03

(Editor's note: I wanted to apologize that this installment of the podcast took a few days more to release. The backup of work following a holiday week sometimes builds on itself like a Black Friday shopping line. But the wait is over. Listen on and enjoy the episode!) How does a Halloween spook convert to Christmas spiritualism, especially when he's the friendliest ghost you know? Becky, Jake, and their stalwart companion Sammy the cat certainly ain't afraid of no ghost, but th...

2025/10/29

Happy November, everyone. We're in deep in the grip of the fall season with a wait of a few short weeks until we're at the time of the holiday season. And what better way to celebrate than listening to a story of giving as only our saurian brothers, the dino kids can—the kind that Becky, Jake, and Sammy the Cat have recently viewed and reviewed in The Land Before Time 3: The Time of the Great Giving? Since the end of the last movie, life in the Great Valley has been...well, great for th...

For this Halloween episode of Seen on the Small Screen, Becky, Jake, and Sammy the cat have once again interrupted the flow of their own podcast schedule to give an extra injection of holiday day cheer for the month when pumpkins grin, no doubt at the prospect that by next month they'll be pie. This time around, they're going to channel the creepy, the kooky, the mysterious, and not to mention the spooky with a late 90's attempt at rebooting another franchise—The Addams Family Reu...

Ep53—Wine, Women, and a Six Million Dollar Man

Seen on the Small Screen Podcast ·

2025/09/01

He's the man. Catch him if you can. Beat him if you can. Love him if you can. So goes the overlooked ballad of Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar man in the second of the TV show's pilot movies called Wine, Women, and War. This installment finds Steve Austin knee-deep in his position as an agent for OSI, albeit a little closer to James Bond territory. After an tough though successful mission in Alexandria, Oscar Goldman, Steve's new boss, wants to send him out into the field for some follow...

Ep52—It's the Story of a Brady Marriage

Seen on the Small Screen Podcast ·

2025/08/01

As the title of today's program states, this is the tale of the Brady Bunch sisters, the hybrid of a reunion movie and a last-minute, executive-driven television pilot called The Brady Girls Get Married. Much time has passed for the Brady clan since the show's final episode, enough of it in fact for Carol and Mike Brady to see their youngest daughter Cindy off to college. But, their relaxation as empty nesters is short lived for the elder Brady girls, Jan and Marsha, have found romance;...

Across the hot desert sands, our intrepid podcasters travel towards a city they've braved once. This is the town of Agrabah and within its walls lies the story of today's episode, the third movie in the Aladdin series, Aladdin and the King of Thieves. It's a happy day in town as the day of Aladdin and Princess Jasmine's wedding day arrives with the return of a voice actor from the first movie, the great Robin Williams contributing his voice talents and matchless one-liners.

2025/05/30

This program heralds in a series of new beginnings for our podcasting team. The first of these would be an episode odometer reading of an even 50 episodes. The second is another oddity of its own, a new cinema offering that we're calling Beyond the Small Screen. When this little selection comes up, our podcasters have a chance to talk about a movie that was released for a wider audience in a colossally larger theater house. This time, Becky, Jake, and Sammy the cat have chosen a 1980's classi...

The Seen on the Small Screen crew don their steward gear and take flight with an episode of Emergency!: The Final Rescues, the 2nd in this run for our intrepid podcasters titled, Survival on Charter #220. Sadly, there's not much Johnny and Roy in this one, although most of the doctors from Rampart General are still around. Instead, we get two carbon copy guys who have the look of the original Johnny and Roy, but not much in the way of charming banter as compared to their counterparts. M...

2025/02/27

It's something that's happened on this podcast on a few rare occasions, an event so monumental that Becky, Jake, or Sammy the kitty haven't done it over 10 episodes. Today, they'll be talking about a TV film that was made within our current century, a comedy caper that started life as a television show named Psyche: The Movie. This film picks up after the ending of the television program and finds super psychic detective Sean Spencer in his new digs in San Francisco hot on the trail of his gi...

Out in the vastness of space—nowhere near a final frontier or a galaxy far away—lies a port of call and refuge for humans, aliens, and nerds alike. It's the setting for a pilot movie and one of the most successful science fiction television franchises of the 1990s. The name of the place is Babylon 5.

Happy 2025, everyone. It's a new year, a time for resolutions.

The podcast hosts have their bus tickets in hands as they review the third movie in the Tremors franchise, Tremors 3: Back to Perfection.

May jingle bells rock and bring joy to the world because the season of Christmas is officially here along with some Halloween leftovers; at least, that's what Becky, Jake, and Sammy the cat find out when they watch and review suburbia's premier family of Hollywood horrors in a movie called The Munster's Scary Little Christmas. When the holiday season comes to Mockingbird Heights, the Munster family gleefully anticipates the coming of Christmas, all except everyone's favorite Preteen Wolf, Edd...

The hour has struck, everyone. It's time to brush the dust off our badges, shine our spurs, and....oh wait. We did all that in the last episode. At long last—about a month by my reckoning—the time's come for us to mosey down the dusty trail with Becky, Jake, and Sammy the cat as they take on the second part of Kenny Rogers as The Gambler: The Adventure Continues. When last we left our heroic buckaroos, they were looking to effect a rescue on the final member of their gang from a crooked...

This month's episode is proof that good things can come in pairs, card pairs preferably, or a pair of deuces if the odds favor you. And good fortunes are ever in the court of Kenny Rogers in his second outing as gambler Brady Hawkes in The Gambler 2: The Adventure Continues. In this first part of a three-hour film, Kenny Rogers and Billy Montana are back, on board that faithful train rolling down the track to the big poker tournament. But they're in for a bit of layover when a gang of thieves...
