This week we are discussing the last installment of the action series that made Liam Neeson, Taken 3. This sequel takes place in LA and doesn't involve Brian Mills globe trotting to save a family member. This one had us discussing the number of civilian deaths, knowing who the bad guy was right away, putting down your weapon for hand-to-hand combat, Brian Mills being a ninja, the lack of cameras anywhere, hot bagels as an alibi, and more.

Next sequel up will be Vacancy 2: The First Cut, and we chatted with the star, Agnes Bruckner. Agnes is known for her roles in The Bold & The Beautiful, 24, Murder by Numbers, and many more. I loved talking to her about portraying Anna Nicole Smith for a Lifetime movie that was so well done and had a phenomenal cast. We discussed her childhood, her time modeling, early roles, what she would want to act in next, and lots more—super fun chat.

Show notes

The SAG strike looks like it's over, so interviews will be happening once again, so we thought let's do one more re-release before we get back into our regular format. So we chose our 1st ever review with Son of the Mask, it's one that Jamie mentions often when he talks about the worst sequels ever. This one had us discussing Jamie Kennedy acting insane, a dog trying to kill a baby, the real Loki, the nosey neighbor gag, and more.

Next week is going to be F/X 2 and then after that back to interviews with a sequel the next week that our guest worked on.

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan Oct 26, 2023

Show notes

This re-release is dedicated to buddy Tommy Kiczula who passed away a few days ago. He was the guest for this review and it was one of our favorite horror movies. Tom and my buddy Nick were over at my house in July for a viewing of Jason Takes Manhattan on my projector. RIP Tommy Kiczula

In honor of having a Friday the 13th this month, we had to discuss one and we chose a non-Crystal Lake one, Jason Takes Manhattan....well sorta. Doug and Jamie invited guest Tom Kiczula, who was born on a Friday the 13th, to discuss this wild installment in the story of Jason Voorhees. They discussed how wet Jason was, his possible teleportation, most importantly...how does Jason bleed or drown, and so much more!

Psycho III Oct 19, 2023

Show notes

The 4th Scary Sequel Month is rolling along great and we are diving back into the pool of Norman Bates and his mother for Psycho III. We discussed how they brushed off the second movie's ending, the odd homecoming game party, the 80s hotties in this small town, Jeff Fahey playing a dick, if the wet look is in, and more.

Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives Oct 12, 2023

Show notes

The 4th Scary Sequel Month is one of the best because it has a Friday the 13th, so we went with Jason Lives. This is the one that brought Jason back and is almost like a Jason spoof with some jokes. We discussed the gravedigger who might live in the woods, the insult farthead, Jason's utility belt, Megan being obsessed with Tommy after meeting him for 5 minutes, and more. This is a fun one.

Death Wish 3 Reunion w/ Alex Winter, Tony Spiridakis, and Kirk Taylor Re-Release Sep 27, 2023

Show notes

This week we are celebrating 2 important dates; November 1st which marks the day that Death Wish 3 hit theaters back in 1985 and November 3rd, 1921 which was the day that Charles Bronson was born. So what better way to celebrate than to get together "3 of the nicest bad guys ever" from Death Wish 3. Alex Winter, Kirk Taylor, and Tony Spiridakis played the roles of "Hermosa", "The Giggler", and "Angel". They talked about their auditions, death scenes, personal experiences with Charles Bronson, Michael Winner, and so much more. This reunion was put together by myself and Chris Rauch who runs the Charles Bronson Twitter account and we thought, "hey let's get these bad guys together," but what we didn't know was that we reunited 3 people who formed a bond on set and haven't seen each other in almost 36 years. It was quite special to see them together again.

This is by far the coolest thing we have ever been a part of, enjoy!

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Meet the Fockers" and we interviewed Actor Jack Plotnick who had a small, but a hilarious role in the movie. You know Jack from the Ellen Show in the 90s, Jenny McCarthy Show, Rubber, and so much more. Most recently you can see Jack in a lot of guest-starring roles on Z-Nation, Grace and Frankie, Reno 911 Lone Star, and more. This was a great chat.
