The Comeuppance Reviews Podcast

Forsythe The Bell Tolls

On today's episode, we honor the great William Forsythe - a favorite around these parts and no stranger to the wild world of DTV movies. Dick Tracy barely gets a mention as we dig deep into his lengthy catalog. Will we find gems? Not so...gems? You're just going to have to tune in to find out!

The Joy Of Roy

Much like our podcast about Robert Forster, today's discussion of the great Roy Scheider eschews the obvious titles. If you're expecting lots of jawing about Jaws, you're plum out of luck. But did you think we WEREN'T going to talk about Red Serpent? This is the Comeuppance Reviews Podcast, after all. So always remember that the world is your Royster as you press play today!

Hangout Part 3: Just Us

Following on from the Bad Boys of Best Video and Hangin' With Mr. DTVC episodes, today - as Street Corner Justice's Mike Justus might put it - it's just us. What do Michael Douglas and Michael Madsen have in common - besides the name Michael? All this and much more are covered in this wide-ranging conversation. Much like a certain boring movie under discussion, "launch" this episode today!

Nineteen Greaty-Nine

1989 was truly an amazing year for video stores, and on today's episode, we highlight some of the titles you may have rented - or just perused right past - on your old video store's increasingly-packed shelves. Of course, this is just a mere sampling - get ready for more installments in the future. But until then, sit back, relax, and enjoy this virtual video store trip back to the magical year of 1989!

A Grab Bag Of Gems 4: A Plastic Bag Full Of Gems

The Grab Bag is swingin' back your way! Questions that are answered in this episode: what would happen if a bunch of your favorite action stars were all asked to provide their opinions on cable news? What mulleted celebrity loves to answer "Nope" to every question posed to him? And what 90's slang DIDN'T catch on in a certain Judd (Nelson) joint? Find out what's in the plastic bag today!

An Erotic Thriller Symposium

The Erotic Thriller was an important part of the video store and cable landscape of the 80's and 90's, and joining us on today's show to talk about the ET phenomenon is none other than Matt P the DTVC, and who better than he to discuss these films that seemingly only now are getting their due? It's time to separate the rated from the unrated, so press play today!

The Career of (Pam) Grier

Today we shine the spotlight on one of our favorite people - the inimitable Pam Grier! As an important part of the action movie universe, it was only a matter of time until we devoted an episode to her, and here it finally is. Also, we attempt to untangle the mystery of the differences (or lack thereof?) between William Katt and Christopher Atkins. Enjoy!

A Grab Bag Of Gems 3: A Shoulder Bag Of Gems

What better way to kick off the new year than an all-new Bag Of Gems episode? It's the first podcast of 2024, no matter what year you may be listening! From Eddie Griffin to Huub Stapel, you never know what's going to be in the bag - let's just say, "Blast" this episode in your earbuds today! 

Let’s Watch Keaton’s Cop!

For our second full-movie breakdown (the first was Righteous Kill), and first in the 'Let's Watch!' series, we - along with longtime collaborator DTVC - discuss the Cannon Classic (?) Keaton's Cop like no one else in history has ever done before! Dare you come along for the ride with Mike Gable and Jake Barber?

And what could be a better occasion than this to celebrate our 100th podcast? Probably nothing. And they said we wouldn't last. (Actually, nobody said that and everyone's been super supportive). So thank you to everyone who has listened over the past 100 eps. We appreciate it very much. Here's to another 100 episodes - which we intend to do, unless we run out of ideas. Thanks again, everybody!

Hangin’ With Mr. DTVC

In the second of our "Hangout" episodes (the first was The Bad Boys of Best Video with our buddy Iain), we hang out this time with...you guessed it, Matt P the DTVC! That's not really a surprise, as he is a longtime collaborator, but we've never officially done a Hangout episode with him, so, here it is! Enjoy!
