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!

For part five in our Video Store Memories series, we welcome a great guest - Rob Lee from the MTR The Network podcast!

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...

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!

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?

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!

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!

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!
