Overhated

Scott Weinberg

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

    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.

    Episode #169: The Quick and the Dead (1995)

    Already I can hear the cries: "how the HELL is this awesome movie even remotely 'hated'?!?" Well, let's look at how it was received when it first hit theaters!

    Episode #168: Staying Alive (1983)

    There was a time when lots of people really wanted a sequel to Saturday Night Fever (1977). And then they got one. And most of them were unhappy with the result. Like, a lot of people. But not my old pal (and veteran film critic) Todd Gilchrist! Big thanks to Todd for picking an essential "bad" movie, which I can now scratch off the list, and also for a great chat.
