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

Episode #89: Vertical Limit (2000)
For a movie that A) made $215,000,000, B) played on HBO virtually every day for three years, and C) came free with the purchase of most DVD players, this mountain climbing flick is virtually forgotten. And the critics weren't all that nice to it either. But my guest Sarah Bea Milner (@sarahbeamilner) remembers this movie quite fondly indeed.

Episode #88: Hawk the Slayer (1980)
Back in the late 1970s and early '80s you couldn't swing a sword without hitting a few high fantasy films. The studios had their pricey efforts like Dragonslayer, Legend, and Labyrinth, and the indie world had tons of cheaper releases like Ator the Fighting Eagle, Deathstalker, The Beastmaster, and the British cult classic known simply as Hawk the Slayer. Big thanks to author and screenwriter Gary Whitta (@garywhitta) for suggesting this movie.

Episode #87: Dead Silence (2007)
As a director, we can thank James Wan for the massively popular horror franchises called Saw, Insidious, and The Conjuring. But he's also had one of two stumbles at the box office. Case in point: Dead Silence! Big thanks to Alexandra Burwood (@obsessafilma) for suggesting this movie.
PS: this episode is a bit shorter than usual, and it's my fault. We had an irritating audio glitch in the mid-section, so I had to cut about six minutes. To make up for it, Alexandra will be back soon to discuss a widely detested sequel that she likes. To hear what it is, listen to the episode!

Episode #86: Cocktail (1988)
If it was Risky Business and Top Gun that launched Tom Cruise into the Hollywood stratosphere, then it was Cocktail that cemented a rule that would last another 20+ years, and that rule is this: Tom Cruise owns Hollywood. For this episode I'm joined by Cocktail fan Nick Larue (@filmsnobbery)! Join us on a brief trip back to 1988, when clothes were awful and neon was prevalent.

Episode #85: The Predator (2018)
I'm joined by my old friend Eric D. Snider (that's @ericDsnider) to discuss Predator Part 4 and this might just be the silliest episode of Overhated, ever. Got another episode on the way tonight to make up for this madness.

Episode #84: Suicide Squad (2016)
It's easy to forget this movie even happened, given how massive popular the "do-over" movie turned out to be, but in this episode I'm joined by one Patrick Bartlett (@alleywaykrew), and he may just be the biggest fan this film has ever had.

Customer Reviews
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.
Such a great show
I have to join his Patreon since this guy knows how to make a fun pod that doesn’t overstay its welcome, rarely comes across as indulgent and always has insightful things to bring to the table. My only quibble is his tendency to interrupt the guest (though he often says, sorry to interrupt). I realize podcasts shouldn’t be a monologue but a conversation, but Scott gets a little too hyper at times. Other than that, it’s a blast!
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.
