Overhated

The podcast where the underrated, the unfairly trashed, and the plain old forgotten movies get a second shot.

    Episode #151: Cutthroat Island (1995)

    For decades there was a "pirate movie curse" that doomed every movie that dared to dip its toe into that particular pool. (That curse was ultimately broken by Captain Jack Sparrow, of course.) And the poster child for that pirate movie curse has got to be Renny Harlin's 1995 financial disaster Cutthroat Island. But fortunately we have frequent guest Fred Topel on hand to offer a firm defense of a movie that lost about $100,000,000 and helped destroy an entire production company.

    Episode #150: Rambo III (1988)

    Once credited as the most expensive movie ever made, Rambo III is now mainly remembered for some uncomfortable political history, but does it hold up as just an enjoyably straightforward action flick? Well, author / humorist / "Effin' Birds" creator Aaron Reynolds is here to plead the film's case.   Note: there are some mild audio glitches in the second half of the episode. I duly apologize for this, and I blame those effin' birds. Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more episodes at patreon.com/scottEweinberg. Subscribe to hear them all now!

    Episode #149: Dominion: Prequel to The Exorcist (2005)

    You could probably write a book on the insane headaches that took place on the Exorcist franchise between 2003 and 2005, or you could just listen to this episode of Overhated! Big thanks to reliable ol' Brian Salisbury, of Junkfood Cinema, for picking a film that's not only seasonal (it's October) and topical (Exorcist Part 6 just hit theaters), but also actually deserves a second look.   Thanks for listening to Overhated!

    Episode #148: Alien³ (1992)

    Few movies of the 1990s have been discussed, debated, and rediscovered as much as Alien 3 has. So now it's time for Overhated to take a swing! We cover everything from that infuriating prologue to the rotten way David Fincher was treated by Fox executives, and by "we" I mean me and the co-hosts of a very fun podcast called Puppet Masters / Castle Freaks: Jarrod Hornbeck & Steve Guntli!

    Episode #147: Without a Clue (1988)

    The hook is great: Dr. Watson is the actual brains behind all the mystery-solving, whereas Holmes is actually a drunken idiot hired to keep the media distracted. And boy do Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley have fun bickering and bantering their way through this unjustly forgotten farce. Big thanks to the illustrious wordsmith C. Robert Cargill for joining me on this one. Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more episodes at patreon.com/scottEweinberg. Subscribe to hear them all now!

    Episode #146: Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992)

    Very few filmmakers have been able to deliver a "quality streak" of movies like John Carpenter did throughout the 1970s and '80s. Some of the movies made money, some did not; but all of them seem to hold a special place in the hearts of countless movie nerds. (Check the episode for evidence of this epic streak.) But then John Carpenter signed on to make a movie with Chevy Chase, and this movie was the result. Big thanks to regular guest and awards guru Andrew Carden for picking this one.

    Episode #145: Great Expectations (1998)

    When you're not only adapting but also modernizing the great Charles Dickens (and in only your second feature!) you're bound to go through some headaches. Seems like the great Alfonso Cuaron dealt with all sorts of headaches on Great Expectations, an overhated film chosen by the illustrious and frequent guest Courtney Howard!

    Episode #144: Battle: Los Angeles (2011)

    Let's face it; it's hard to make an "alien attack!" movie that won't eventually find a few loyal fans out there. It's just a fun sub-genre!
