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

    Episode #78: Never Say Never Again (1983)

    Episode #78: Never Say Never Again (1983)

    You'll learn more about this "asterisked" James Bond movie in 35 minutes than you'll ever need, thanks mostly to my frequently returning guest Brian Salisbury (@briguysalisbury), of the infamous Junkfood Cinema podcast.

    Episode #77: Dragonslayer (1981)

    Episode #77: Dragonslayer (1981)

    This medieval adventure tale was meant to be a family film, to a degree, but things didn't really work out that way -- mainly because the movie, to its credit, is a lot darker than one would normally expect from the Disney brand. But enough typing. Listen in as I discuss Dragonslayer with Mr. Vincenzo Natali (@Vincenzo_Natali), a filmmaker you'll know if you've seen high-end genre films like Cube, Splice, or In the Tall Grass (or TV series like Hannibal, The Strain, or Westworld).

    Episode #76: Newsies (1992)

    Episode #76: Newsies (1992)

    This Disney musical vanished from theaters real quick back in 1992, but it managed to do three things: it helped kick-start the career of Christian Bale, it grew a very strong following of fans over the course of 20 years, and then it inspired a huge Broadway hit. So it's a fun story. Big thanks to my friend Laura Fawcett (@roguefour) for sitting in on this one.

    Episode #75: Ishtar (1987)

    Episode #75: Ishtar (1987)

    I've been saving this infamous box office disaster for a fitting guest, and suffice to say that I found one in author / film critic / fellow Philadelphian Carrie Rickey (@carrierickey). I suspected she'd have some great insights on this movie, and she did not disappoint. Big thanks to Carrie, as well as all listeners, patrons, and pals.

    Episode #74: The Great White Hype (1996)

    Episode #74: The Great White Hype (1996)

    The phrase "The Great White Hope" has been used in professional boxing for decades, so that's where the movie's title comes from. But how well does the satire hold up in this semi-forgotten ensemble comedy from the mid-1990s? Join me and my pal J.C. DeLeon (@jcdeleon1) to find out. Also check out his sports movie podcast: Love & Game Film.

    Episode #73: Get Carter (2000)

    Episode #73: Get Carter (2000)

    Heading back to remake country! We do spend a lot of time there, come to think of it. Big thanks to Jason Krawczyk (@every1question) for picking a flick with a strong ensemble. That does help a lot. Be sure to check out Jason's movie He Never Died (from 2015) as soon as possible, especially if you love Henry Rollins.

Fun and Cheerful

I think the thing I love about this show is that it’s not afraid to celebrate movies that don’t deserve their reputation, while being honest instead of mean when there is something to critique. And yes, Scott’s funny, too.

Always a great listen

Scott and his guests always entertain and it’s a fun listen even if I’ve never seen the film they are discussing, which also makes them a great podcast for film discoveries.
