DTVC Podcast

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode we're finishing our look at the Predator franchise with the three most recent films. With "Predators," I talk about the "cheek" of Robert Rodriguez to try and make this a sequel to the first Predator, when it's not as good as the real part 2. Then with "The Predator" I get into what went wrong with that one, and why it wasn't more successful. Finally, we finish with "Prey," which I really enjoyed.

In this episode I'm joined by Chris Kacvinsky from Bulletproof Action as we discuss "American Ninja 2: The Confrontation." We get into why this one works, from the Guns N' Roses "Move to the City," to the brawl at the Blind Beggar's Bar, to all the hot, ninja action. This is classic you came for.

Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back, this time for our Eric Roberts birthday double feature, as we look at his two Top Gunner films for the Asylum. In the first one Roberts plays a grizzled colonel leading a training base under siege from the Russians; then in the second one, he's the president, trying to avoid WWIII. Finally, in our Spotlight on a Fight, we look at the end fight from the classic "Undefeatable."

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode we're continuing our look at the Predator franchise with the two Alien vs. Predator films. With the first one, I talk about the gap in time between Predator films, and how this was a film Predator fans were waiting for, but maybe not so much Aliens fans. I also chat about Predators that aren't hunters, like engineers and anthropologists. For the second one, I talk about where this one might miss the mark from the first one, but despite the poor critic reception, still did well at the box office.

In this episode I'm joined once again by Mitch from the Video Vacuum, as we look the Brucesploitation classic, "The Dragon Lives Again." What other movie can say Bruce Lee (Siu-Lung Leung aka Bruce Leong) teams up with Popeye, Kane, and the One-Armed Swordsman to take down Dracula, the Godfather, the Exorcist, Clint Eastwood, Zatoichi, and James Bond? Avengers eat your heart out.

Scott Murphy from All 90s Action, All the Time and New Horror Express is back to discuss another Steven Seagal DTV flick, this time 2006's "Attack Force." We get into the history on this one, with how Seagal and screenwriting buddy Joe Halpin made one movie, but the distribution company wanted something else, so it was re-edited, reshot, and redubbed. Was worth it? Especially with the person they had dubbing over Seagal's voice?

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode we're starting our look at the Predator franchise with the first and second films. With the first one, I talk about this film's influence on me as an action fan, and its enduring legacy. For the second one, I talk about why I love this one, despite it not having the reputation the first one had

Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back for two more straight to streamers, this time we're looking at a third Daniel Zirilli film, "Hollow Point," starring Luke Goss and Jay Mohr. Is this one closer to "Phoenix" or "Invincible" in quality? And then for the second one, we look at the Tito Ortiz/Cris Cyborg actioner, "Operation Black Ops," and try to see if we can figure out is going on with that one. Finally, for our Spotlight on a Fight, we look at Stallone v Stone Cold Steve Austin in "Expendables."

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode we're continuing our look at the MCU Phase 2 with "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "Ant-Man." Before that, I talk about the flop that was the 2015 "Fantastic Four" film. Then with "Avengers: Age of Ultron" I look at how that film compares with the first one, and how James Spader as Ultron's voice might be my favorite baddie so far. Finally, with "Ant-Man," I look at this as almost an after-thought film sandwiched between the Avengers film and the first film of Phase 3, "Captain America: Civil War," and then I further my thought from last week about how the MCU audience has aged out some, and how that affected the floor for movies like this going forward.

In this episode Sean Malloy of "I Must Break This Podcast" is back, and we're discussing the Van Damme film "Replicant." We get into a couple different aspects, one being Van Damme's performance and decision to take a role like this--or two roles, as it was. Another is the shrinking DTV action budget, and how a movie like this may not be made this well today.

Check out Tom's upcoming film, "Cinderella's Revenge," starring Lauren Staerick and Natasha Henstridge, and produced by Mark L. Lester, in select theaters on April 26th

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode we're continuing our look at the MCU Phase 2 with "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and "The Guardians of the Galaxy." Before that, I talk a bit about the last year of comic book movies, and where the genre might be going. Then with "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" I look at how that film compares with the first one, and also get into how the franchise is handing things over to Anthony Mackie. Finally, with "The Guardians of the Galaxy," I try to break down why the film was so successful, and how this film could be a template for future adaptations of lesser-known properties.

Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back for two more straight to streamers, this time we're looking at two from Hulu. First we check out "Assassin," Bruce Willis's final film. Was this one worthy of that honor? How does it compare to the other Willis films we've looked at? After that we get into "The System," a prison flick starring Tyrese Gibson, Terrence Howard, and Jeremy Piven, who turns in a hilarious performance as the over-the-top corrupt warden.

In this episode I'm joined once again by Will from Exploding Helicopter, this time to look at two films starring Vinnie Jones. The first one is "The Big Ugly," which also stars Ron Perlman and Malcolm McDowell. It's one we had a bit of trouble with, despite the cast. The second one is "Bullet Proof," which was more of a straight-ahead actioner, and did the trick for us a little more.

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode we're starting our look at the MCU Phase 2 with "Iron Man 3" and "Thor: Dark World." Before that, I talk a bit about the direction the DTVC Extra might go in now that we're doing weekly episodes with guests. I also get into the buzz--or non-buzz--surrounding "Madame Web." With "Iron Man 3," I look at why this was so successful, and how it measures up to the other two; and then with "Thor: Dark World," I try to make sense of the film, and make sense of how these Thor movies make so much money.

We get into how it feels almost like a DTV flick, also Nicolas Cage's unleashed performance, and how one-offs from Marvel that aren't connected to the MCU could have a place for Marvel Studios.

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some of the weeks we don't have episodes of the main podcast. In this episode we're finishing our look at the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 1, with "Captain America: The First Avenger" and "The Avengers." In the first segment, I go over the history of Captain America and previous adaptations, and how important this one was to the overall success of this first phase of the MCU. Then I looked "the Avengers," where the only precedent I could find was the Laff-a-Lympics. That inevitably leads me to a rant on "retconning" and "canon," which I blame for why we haven't gotten the X-Men in the MCU yet.

Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back for "Malki on the Skids," our look at two DTV films on Tubi for John Malkovich. First we look at the second-most recent from Jesse V. Johnson, "One Ranger." Who has the best voice in this one, Malki or Thomas Jane? After that we get into "Mindcage." It reminds us some of the old TNT New Classic, so we get into that time for movies. We also look at what home improvement projects Malki might be funding with these films.

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some of the weeks we don't have episodes of the main podcast. In this episode we're continuing our look at the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 1, with "Iron Man 2" and "Thor." I pick up where we left off in 2008, and look at what happen in 2009 with "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and the purchase of Marvel by Disney. From there I look at why "Iron Man 2" worked well, and also how it was unique as a sequel because it was not only working to further Iron Man's story, but also set up the events leading to "Avengers." And then with "Thor" I look at Thor as a Marvel hero, and how incredible I think it is that he's become this big. I also look at "X-Men: First Class," which came out that same year, and how Marvel Studios was able to make "Thor" into someone who could lead movies that were as big or bigger than X-Men films.

Scott Murphy from All 90s Action, All the Time and New Horror Express is back to discuss another Steven Seagal DTV flick, this time 2006's "Shadow Man." We get into some of the classic Seagal DTV tropes, and judge how good or bad they are here. Also Scott gives some background on the UK actors in this, and we try to understand their rationale for agreeing to make this film.

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some of the weeks we don't have episodes of the main podcast. In this episode we're starting our look at the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 1, with "Iron Man" and "Incredible Hulk." I start by going into the history of live action adaptations of Marvel comics, plus what DC was doing, and how that led to Marvel Studios creating their own films, of which Iron Man was the first. From there I'll get into what made Iron Man work so well, and how it would eventually lead to Marvel changing the game and coming out on top above DC. In the second segment, I look at the Incredible Hulk. I talk about the old TV show and the impact it had on me, also my own experience collecting comics, and why the Ang Lee one didn't work for me. And then I wrap the episode talking about why we haven't had another Hulk film, and the lessons I think Disney could learn from how 2008 was so successful, versus the relative lack of success they've had this year.

This might be the best Dern we've seen since we've been doing these movies.

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some of the weeks we don't have episodes of the main podcast. In this episode we start our series looking at the Kickboxer films with "Kickboxer" and "Kickboxer 2." With Kickboxer, I get nostalgic for the late 80s, and talk about the Van Damme we had then, who was a rising star. Then with Kickboxer 2, I talk about the issues Albert Pyun had with Van Damme on Cyborg, whether or not that contributed to Van Damme passing on working on this, and what we got by having Sasha Mitchell instead.
