Episode #189: Vibes (1988) Jun 22, 2026

Show notes

Returning guest Laurel Vail is queen of the weird '80s rom-coms. Last year she did an episode on Who's That Girl? and now she's backm to discuss Vibes. Yes, that weird '80s rom-com that stars Jeff Goldblum, Cyndi Lauper, and the legendary Peter Falk. We had a fun chat.

Episode #188: Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992) Jun 15, 2026

Show notes

Leave it to a guy who co-hosts a podcast called Puppet Masters / Castle Freaks to defend the oft-dismissed second Hellraiser sequel! Big thanks to returning guest Jarrod Hornbeck for choosing a colorful horror flick to dissect.

Episode #187: Men at Work (1990) Jun 08, 2026

Show notes

The only thing I remember about Men at Work is that critics hated it. That's all I recall! But thankfully, returning guest and podcast producer (and film critic) Jim Laczkowski selected this Estevez Bros. comedy... that's actually kinda fun.

Episode #186: The Matrix Resurrections (2021) Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

The fourth chapter in the Matrix saga gets the Overhated treatment, thanks to writer / director / movie nerd Brian Duffield, the man who gave us Spontaneous, No One Will Save You, and a bunch of other fun genre flicks.

Episode #185: Power (1986) May 25, 2026

Show notes

Richard Gere, Gene Hackman, and Denzel Washington? In a Sidney Lumet film? How could a movie like this be all but forgotten these days? I dig into it with filmmaker Rodney Ascher (back for his third episode) in this lengthy and very nerdy conversation full of digressions and Lumet sidebars.

Episode #184: Showgirls (1995) May 11, 2026

Show notes

It's one of the most savagely derided films of the entire 1990s -- a decade that had no shortage of bad films -- but Showgirls has undergone something of a metamorphosis over the past few decades, despite still being full-bore trashy campy pulp. Join me and my guest, author / podcaster / film critic Kristen Lopez (of The Wrap), as we discuss all sorts of stuff related to the infamous disaster.

Episode #183: The Black Cauldron (1985) Apr 27, 2026

Show notes

It's Disney animation's most infamous box office failure, and my old friend Brian Salisbury (of Junkfood Cinema infamy) has a whole lot to rant about, and in rather profane fashion I might add. (warning: F bombs!)

Episode #182: Mac and Me (1988) Apr 13, 2026

Show notes

It's one of the most frequently ridiculed movies of all time, but of course I found someone to defend it! That's what this podcast does! Big thanks to my guest Dottie D. (@DottieDinoRAWR) for sparking a lively conversation on this infamous piece of 1980s weirdness.

Episode #181: Cats (2019) Mar 30, 2026

Show notes

Every once in a while we get a movie that virtually everyone enjoys trashing. And of course there are always a few sincere defenders, like my old friend, filmmaker, and frequent Overhated guest Laurel Vail! (aka @laurelvail) Big thanks to LV for forcing me to finally sit down with this insane film, plus we got a really fun conversation out of the whole deal.

Episode #180: The Out-of-Towners (1999) Mar 16, 2026

Show notes

It seemed like a perfect pitch: Steve Martin covering similar ground to his hit Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, and pair him up with the hilarious Goldie Hawn, with whom Martin struck some gold in Housesitter a few years earlier. So what happened? We talk to regular guest Andrew Carden (@awardsconnect) for some answers.
