“Saturn 3” Podcast Movie Review
Saturn 3 – Dare Daniel Podcast Episode 113
“You flunked!”
Retentive technocrats Daniel and Corky come down from their blue dreamer trip to review Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett and Harvey Keitel in Stanley Donen’s sloppy space opera Saturn 3. The film assembles an amazing armada of above-the-line talent for a passionless, murky and uninspired Adam and Eve in space parable.
Elsewhere, Daniel and Corky discuss space chess strategy, robot birthing hips and inexplicable detonation buttons.

Why did [Redacted] dare Daniel and Corky to watch Saturn 3? “I don’t think you’ve yet reviewed a bad science fiction movie, of which there are so many choices. Going back to 1980: Saturn 3. Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett and Harvey Keitel — what could be wrong with that combination? And Kirk Douglas does a nude scene!”
IMDB synopsis: “Two lovers stationed at a remote base in the asteroid fields of Saturn are intruded upon by a retentive technocrat from Earth and his charge: a malevolent eight foot robot.”

“Biker Boyz” Podcast Movie Review
Biker Boyz – Dare Daniel Podcast Episode 112
“I don’t know what the hell your fool ass was trying to prove, but whatever it was, you proved it!”
King of Cali cronies Daniel and Corky rev down to review the high-speed, low-energy biker movie Biker Boyz. This underdeveloped outline of a movie concerns motorcycle hustlers striving to become the “King of Cali” for reasons we can never know.
Elsewhere, Daniel and Corky discuss Kid Rock tribunals, bikini bike wash fundraisers and smoking guys in Fresno.
BIKER BOYZ FACTS AND FIGURES
This week’s movie-themed cocktail: Smoke (1.25 oz. Templeton Rye; 0.5 oz. Johnnie Walker Black; 0.25 oz. Warbringer Mesquite-Smoked whiskey; 0.5 oz.

U.S. theatrical release: Jan. 31, 2003
Critics scores: 23 on Rotten Tomatoes; 36 on Metacritic
This week’s darer: Samantha Kidd
Why did Samantha dare Daniel and Corky to watch Biker Boyz? “I first saw this movie as a teen and thought it was THE SHIT, but I watched it again a few years ago and was shocked at how truly atrocious it is. I still love it for the nostalgia, but I’ve yet to meet any other human being or has or is willing to watch this piece of trash. I don’t know how I can adequately describe both my love and hatred of this movie and am dying for someone else to experience it, so I dare you guys to give it a watch!”
IMDB synopsis: “A son of the leader of a legendary group of an urban biker gang tries to retain his championship title.”

“365 Days: This Day” Podcast Movie Review
365 Days: This Day – Dare Daniel Podcast Episode 111
“I’m a little bit of a psycho/I’m driving you like a Lambo”
Daniel and Corky are back and stronger than ever. But a conspicuously terrible movie bidding for no sane human’s heart complicates the podcasters’ lives. 365 Days: This Day distances itself from the sex-trafficking-as-courtship ethos of its predecessor, yet somehow emerges as an even more loathsome and vapid entity.
Elsewhere, Daniel and Corky discuss appetizer montages, yule log workouts, drone shot brunches and Chekhov’s twin brother.
365 DAYS: THIS DAY FACTS AND FIGURES
This week’s movie-themed cocktail: Love Grows (1.5 oz. reposado tequila; 0.25 oz. blanco tequila; 0.5 oz. mezcal; 0.75 oz. pineapple juice; 0.75 oz. rosemary syrup; 0.5 oz. lemon juice; stir, strain and serve over ice; top with 1 dash Fee Brothers Old Fashioned bitters and garnish with rosemary sprig)
U.S. streaming debut: April 27, 2022
Critics scores: 0 on Rotten Tomatoes; 8 on Metacritic
IMDB synopsis: “Laura and Massimo are back and stronger than ever. But Massimo’s family ties and a mysterious man bidding for Laura’s heart complicate the lovers’ lives.”
This week’s referenced movies: 365 Days; Viva Knievel!; Fifty Shades trilogy; Fateful Findings; Transformers: The Last Knight; Goodfellas; Star Wars movie franchise; Beyond the Seventh Door; Little Shop of Horrors; The Grifters; The Godfather

“Viva Knievel!” Podcast Movie Review
Viva Knievel! – Dare Daniel Podcast Episode 110
“Viva Corky!”
We celebrate Corky’s birthday by squeezing into our iconic stars-and-bars jumpsuits and reviewing Evel Knievel in Viva Knievel! It’s as moth-eaten a movie as you’ll ever see, with only the messianic egomania of its star to differentiate it from a thousand other duds.
Daniel and Corky discuss orphanage break-ins, helmet crowns and Stratocycle suicides.
VIVA KNIEVEL! FACTS AND FIGURES
This week’s movie-themed cocktail: Tommy Wallbanger (1.0 oz. Cazadores blanco tequila; 0.5 oz. Corralejo reposado tequila; 0.5 oz. El Dorado 15-Year Rum; 0.5 oz.

This week’s darer: Dean Longenecker
Dean’s dare: “In honor of Corky, I subjected myself to this 1977 dud. I can’t in good faith recommend this to anyone unless they like being tortured. Everything that’s bad about 70s movies is in here. Feel sorry for the cast, which is pretty good for the time, having to be involved with this movie.”
IMDB synopsis: “He’s powered his Harley over cars, trucks, lions, infernos and plummeted headlong into a canyon. But if the mob has its way, his next incredible leap will land him six feet under.”

“The Crow: Wicked Prayer” Podcast Movie Review
The Crow: Wicked Prayer – Dare Daniel Podcast Episode 109
“The stupidity of this movie compounds every single second that you watch it.”
Daniel and Corky have no sympathy for the devil after watching Edward Furlong as avenging bird Jimmy Cuervo in this wretched straight-to-video sequel. A film that tries too hard while making no effort whatsoever, The Crow: Wicked Prayer concerns an ex-con tragically caught between wealthy fundamentalist Christian Aztecs and Satanist miners. No, seriously, it does. If that’s not enough terrible, Tara Reid plays an eye-slicing serial killer shaman redeemed through the power of prayer.
Elsewhere, Daniel and Corky discuss Stephen Tobol-ouchies, gas pump farts, zap flashbacks and peyote-dusted deviled ham.
THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER FACTS AND FIGURES
This week’s movie-themed cocktail: Mai Tai the Knot (1.5 oz. Campari; 0.75 oz. Appleton Estate rum; 0.5 oz. Cointreau; 1.0 oz. lime juice; 1.0 oz. Small Hand Foods Orgeat; a few drops of El Guapo Cuban bitters; shake and strain over crushed ice; garnish with mint)
U.S. theatrical release: June 3, 2005
Critics scores: 0 on Rotten Tomatoes
This week’s darer: Caroline Hostetler
Caroline’s dare: “There is so much to say about this movie, yet I am speechless. Like all the greats, this film raises more questions than it answers. And most of those questions are ‘What the f**k?’”
IMDB synopsis: “On his way to becoming an immortal demon, a gang leader orchestrates the murder of an ex-con and his girlfriend.”
This week’s referenced movies: The Crow movie franchise; The New Mutants; A Christmas Story 2; Ava; Six String Samurai; Kill Bill movies; Ferris Bueller’s Day Off; Norma Rae; Gigli; Star Wars movies
Ratings: Daniel – Double Dare; Corky – Double Dare

Customer Reviews
One of my favorites
One of the best new (to me) podcasts about bad movies. Dan and Corky play so well off each other, have a great format and production, and both have great "radio" voices which makes them easy to listen to. Still catching up on all the episodes, but am subscibed and looking forward to more.
If you like bad movies, this is recommended
Really funny hosts talking about movies that are bad for different reasons, and in different ways. This is candy for the mind, truly recommended.
Great listen!
These guys have great chemistry! The way they describe movies and such make me want to crack a cold one open and hang out!
