DTVC Podcast dtvconnoisseur

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode we're starting our look at the John Wick franchise. With part 1, I talk about where this ranks in my top action films of the 2010s, and get into what I liked and didn't like. Also, I touch on the strong imagery of a dog being killed in a film. For part 2, I look at the shift toward mainstream this film makes, ever so slightly. I also make the case for having dogs in movies just to be dogs, not saving the day or having super powers.

In this episode I'm joined once again by screenwriter Tom Jolliffe, as we discuss his newest film, "Cinderella's Revenge," which I was able to see in the theater. He gives us some of the behind the scenes on some of the decisions that were made, or what he and the rest of the cast and crew were going for in a particular instance. Before we get into that though, we give our thoughts on the late Daniel Zirilli, who left us last week.

Check out "Cinderella's Revenge," starring Lauren Staerick and Natasha Henstridge, and produced by Mark L. Lester, in select theaters here in the US, and then look for it on streaming everywhere later this year.

In this episode I'm joined by Freddie Young from Full Moon Reviews as we discuss "Frankenhooker." We get into Frank Henenlotter as a director, and how he uses New York City as a character. We also compare NYC and Times Square today versus when "Frankenhooker" was made, and how horror has changed over the years too.

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode we're finishing our look at the Predator franchise with the three most recent films. With "Predators," I talk about the "cheek" of Robert Rodriguez to try and make this a sequel to the first Predator, when it's not as good as the real part 2. Then with "The Predator" I get into what went wrong with that one, and why it wasn't more successful. Finally, we finish with "Prey," which I really enjoyed.

In this episode I'm joined by Chris Kacvinsky from Bulletproof Action as we discuss "American Ninja 2: The Confrontation." We get into why this one works, from the Guns N' Roses "Move to the City," to the brawl at the Blind Beggar's Bar, to all the hot, ninja action. This is classic you came for.

Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back, this time for our Eric Roberts birthday double feature, as we look at his two Top Gunner films for the Asylum. In the first one Roberts plays a grizzled colonel leading a training base under siege from the Russians; then in the second one, he's the president, trying to avoid WWIII. Finally, in our Spotlight on a Fight, we look at the end fight from the classic "Undefeatable."
