(No Subject)

Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with your podcatcher! We - along with friend of the show Matt, The Direct To Video Connoisseur - decide to go topicless for our big 35th episode. There will be observations, confessions, complaints and grievances - and some surprisingly strong movie pitch ideas! As if all that wasn't enough, we have not only the standard segments, but we debut a new one as well: A Bid For Seriousness. What does it all mean? Open your mind and hit play right now!

A very lively discussion ensues as we talk about the video store, Baltimore, and a whole lot more! Of course, we didn't forget our much-admired segments Cliché Of The Day and Should've Been an Action Star. For the latest blast of nostalgia, hit play today!

Mission: Norton

Friend of the show Matt, the Direct to Video Connoisseur, joins us to honor one of our favorite action stars - Richard Norton! Also we have our most-loved segments, Should've Been an Action Star and Cliché of the Day. After all, as the back of the Under the Gun DVD says, "Likable action star Richard Norton..." and as Ty says, "He's Milverstead, bro!" What does it all mean? Tune in now to find out...

AIP Part 1

With this episode, we launch our multi-part series about Action International Pictures - the VHS label integral to video stores of the time! There are so many movies to cover, just one episode won't be nearly enough. On top of discussing the magic of AIP, the fan favorite segments of Should've Been an Action Star and Cliché of the Day are on board as well. Have a listen!

Seeing Double

Sometimes unrelated movies will have the same title, and it can get a bit confusing. On today's episode, we attempt to untangle the differences between Getting Even and...Getting Even. Or Danger Zone and...Danger Zone, amongst other examples. But before all that clarity, we have our favorite segments, Should've Been an Action Star and Cliché of the Day. So let's clear up all the mix-ups together, shall we?

Don We Now Our 'Karate Man' Apparel

Longtime friend and collaborator Matt, the Direct-To-Video Connoisseur, joins us for our landmark 30th episode - our tribute to Don "The Dragon" Wilson. Where would we all be without Wilson, that mainstay of video store and pay-cable action films? Also included are some pretty surprising choices for the segments, Should've Been an Action Star and Cliché of the Day. So break out your best purple windbreaker, because Karate Man is on the way!

Wincott Or Losecott

On today's episode, we discuss one of the titans of DTV action - the great Jeff Wincott! We separate the Street Law from the Martial Law II from the Martial Outlaw, so do have a listen. Also included are our lovable segments, Cliché of the Day, and a rather surprising Should've Been an Action Star. Don't have any Future Fear - press play today!

Meet The Meatheads

At one time or another in our lives, we've all asked the same question. You know the one. It's "What does it take to make a meathead?" On this week's episode, Matt, the Direct-To-Video Connoisseur, joins us to unravel this rich, meaty topic. There's so much there, we couldn't do it alone.

Anyone who has watched more than a few action movies has doubtlessly seen multiple meatheads, so we break down the protein of the good, the bad, and the fatty. Also included are our world-renowned segments, Could've Been an Action Star and Cliché of the Day. So what are you waiting for? Dig in to this slab of an episode!

Video Store Memories Part 4

On this particularly rollicking episode, our old buddy and fan favorite Ryan returns so he can share his memories. He wasn't just a video store patron, he was an employee of Tommy K's Video, so we get all the inside dirt. Also we've got our beloved segments, Cliché of the Day and Should've Been an Action Star, featuring some surprise choices by Ryan. A good time was had by all, so give it a listen!
