    WATCH THIS TONIGHT

    I have created the spiritual sequel to this show. It’s called WATCH THIS TONIGHT. It’s a fancy version of this show, part of the Voyage Media podcast network, and it releases twice a week (Wednesday and Friday). Each episode is a carefully curated pick for something great to watch at the end of the night when you’ve got about an hour before you fall asleep. Look for it anywhere you listen to podcasts. If you like this show, I think you will really enjoy my new podcast.

    Emergency Ray Liotta Filmography Pod

    I review all of Ray's movies that I have seen in brief, and also briefly discuss the movie I produced that he was in. RIP to a legend who had so much more to give. What a loss.

    True Crime Anthology Podcast - ALLEGEDLY

    I wanted to tell you about a new true crime anthology podcast I produced, which features Michael Emerson (LOST), Jonathan Frakes (STAR TREK) and more actors and tells wild, crazy, scary, compelling true crime stories. There's a new crime in every episode. You can find the show by going to allegedlytruecrime.com or searching for "Allegedly Voyage Media" anywhere you listen to podcasts.

    Dean Norris From Breaking Bad Stars In A Crime Podcast I Produced

    Yup, it's a scripted crime drama presented as found audio from an FBI surveillance operation. It's called MAHALO WITH A BULLET. Dean plays a hitman sent to Hawaii to murder someone. While in Hawaii, he has a change of heart and questions his entire life. It's a fun, fast, listen, Dean is excellent in it, and we may be producing more of it in the future. You can find links to listen on your preferred podcast platform here: https://www.voyagemedia.fm/show/mahalo-with-a-bullet/ If you listen, let me know what you think!

    MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III

    JOHN WICK creator Derek Kolstad returns to the show for the 100th episode to talk MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III. My case: the best film of the series, JJ Abrams’ best film as a feature director, and the best villain of the series with Philip Seymour Hoffman.

    THE OTHER GUYS

    Screenwriter Nathaniel Nauert joins the show, and I make the case that THE OTHER GUYS is the best film in the filmography of both Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, as well as a career high point for Mark Wahlberg. I’m a peacock, you gotta let me fly!

  7. JUDGEMENT NIGHT

    JUDGEMENT NIGHT

    Film scholar Jackson Boren joins the program for JUDGEMENT NIGHT. A real hidden gem, this gorgeous-looking movie has a sharp, compelling setup and a great cast in their fresh-faced days. Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr, Denis Leary, Stephen Dorff, Jeremy Piven, and Peter Greene star in this crime thriller. Stephen Hopkins directed the film. This one has a ton of interesting behind-the-scenes production information that Jackson and I break down (originally written on spec by Kevin Jarre, who wrote TOMBSTONE, offered to Samuel Jackson and John Travolta, rewritten at one point by John Carpenter). Fascinating 90s era largely (and unfairly) forgotten thriller.

  8. RETURN TO PARADISE

    RETURN TO PARADISE

    Screenwriter Jay Thornton joins the show to discuss perhaps one of the best picks for this series, RETURN TO PARADISE. A movie even I hadn't heard of, this is a total unheralded gem. It was well-reviewed upon release, but was not a huge box office hit, and is not something I've heard talked about before. Great director (Joseph Ruben, SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY), great cast (Vince Vaughn, Joaquin Phoenix, Anne Heche) and maybe one of the best moral premises in any movie, period. I watched this at 3am and was riveted and had to get to the end. Major recommend if you dig adult dramas.
