    Episode #177: Chappie (2015)

    Sometimes this podcast is like therapy for me. Big thanks to old-school wise-ass film nerd Vince Mancini (of The Frotcast) for choosing one of my least favorite films of the last 15 years.

    Episode #176: Pandorum (2009)

    It's not easy being a sci-fi horror film. Even when you pull off something cool, people will always call you an Alien retread. But Pandorum writer/director Christian Alvart is here to set the record straight on all sorts of things, from how the movie got made to how it got dumped into theaters in rather unceremonious fashion. My thanks to Christian for this great episode, and my thanks to all patrons and listeners! And Effin Birds! Check out the list of episodes here: bit.ly/3WZiLFk.

    Episode #175: Popeye (1980)

    One of the movie overhated movies of all time... at first. But history has been kind to this weird little movie. Join me and Dan McCoy (of The Flop House podcast!) as we discuss how much we adore this oddly lovable musical adaptation of an immortal comic strip hero. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

    Episode #174: The Wizard (1989)

    Yes, it's basically a feature-length Nintendo commercial. That's never been a secret. But perhaps there's some actual artistry and humanity to be found in there too? Well, filmmaker Joe Russo sure seems to think so. (Not the Marvel director Joe Russo; the horror geek Joe Russo!) Thanks for listening to Overhated!

    Episode #173: The Postman (1997)

    This is a super-sized episode, so I'll keep the description brief: this is a highly overhated movie. Big thanks to Vyce Victus (of the Action for Everyone podcast) for choosing this one.

    Episode #172: Far and Away (1992)

    For a movie that got a whole lot of press back in the day, Ron Howard's Far and Away seems to be virtually forgotten these days, despite featuring two of the biggest movie stars ever born. Big thanks to returning guest Stone Gasman for covering this one! Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more episodes at patreon.com/scottEweinberg. Subscribe to hear them all now!

    Episode #171: Clifford (1994)

    A comedic spin on "evil kid" thrillers? Sounds fun to me! Oh what's that? The evil kid is played by a 40-year-old Martin Short? Plus Charles Grodin, Mary Steenburgen, and Dabney Coleman in one of the most widely derided comedies of the entire 1990s? Sign me up. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

    Episode #170: Wise Guys (1986)

    The prolific and controversial Bran De Palma was dealing with a few flops back in the mid-'80s, so he switched gears from dark thrillers to dark comedy, and the result was the loud, raucous Wise Guys. Longtime film critic Peter Sobczynski is on hand to defend this forgotten farce, and to remind us that at least a few influential folks went on record with a thumbs up on the flick.
