DTVC Podcast 257, "Out of Reach"
Scott Murphy from All 90s Action, All the Time and Bloody Sam is back to discuss another Steven Seagal DTV flick, this time "Out of Reach." we've got Seagal as a former CIA guy who's been corresponding with a young girl in a Polish orphanage, but when she goes missing, he needs to go over there to save her. Do we at least get Seagal doing a poor sounding, racially appropriative accent? Absolutely.

DTVC Podcast 256, "We Go Again"
Screenwriter Tom Jolliffe is back to discuss his newest film, "We Go Again," along with the film's two stars Zuza Tehanu and Charlotte Chiew. The first 30 minutes or so is a spoiler-free conversation about the film, so even if you haven't watched the movie yet, you can listen safely. Then after a break, I ask some questions that do contain spoilers, so be careful if you haven't seen it yet. Overall it was a great conversation about a film I really enjoyed. You can currently purchase it on Amazon here in the States on DVD and Blu-ray.

DTVC Podcast 255, "Scorned" and "Victim of Desire"
We're joined once again by Jon Cross from the PM Entertainment Podcast and the After Movie Diner, this time to discuss a Shannon Tweed erotic thriller double feature, with "Scorned" and "Victim of Desire." Before that though, for the first hour or so, Jon and I look at where Jim Belushi's career should go after his role in "The Chronology of Water," and then my mention of Sean Connery in the early James Bond films takes us off on a large tangent about accents in the UK and the starts of Michael Caine's and Terrence Stamp's careers. Then we get into the erotic thrillers, first with "Scorned," we discuss Tweed's performance, Andrew Stevens's direction, and the moments we really liked. And then with "Victim of Desire," it's all about the Wynorski, the Wings, the Strain, and definitely the Tweed as well. You can find the PM Entertainment Podcast and After Movie Diner on all major podcatchers, and on YouTube. Our theme song is done by Jon Cross's Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures, which you can listen to on Spotify, or go here for his Bandcamp https://miscplumbingfixtures.bandcamp.com/ Check out my newest book, Mark and Sales, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G2SF5YCW For my author page on Amazon, go here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/stores/Matthew-Poirier/author/B085HTVYNJ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And you can grab our DTVC merch at our Threadless, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dtvconnoisseur.threadless.com⁠⁠

DTVC Podcast 253, Nepo Babies: "South Beach" and "Future Zone"
In this episode I'm joined once again by Will from Exploding Helicopter, as we look at two films with Nepo Babies, this time focusing on Golden Age of Hollywood fathers. First we discuss the Fred Williamson movie "South Beach," which features Peter Fonda, nepo baby of Henry Fonda. We try to make sense of what Williamson was going for with this one. And then for the second film, we look at the AIP flick "Future Zone," starring David Carradine, nepo baby of John Carradine. Maybe not the prodigious cast of the first film, but it might be more fun. You can find Will and the Exploding Helicopter podcast on iTunes and other major podcatchers, and you can go to his site, https://www.explodinghelicopter.com/ for all things Exploding Helicopter, including links to social media, like his fantastic Twitter account.

DTVC Podcast 252, "Deadliest Prey"
Todd Liebenow from Forgotten Filmcast is back, this time to revisit the world of "Deadly Prey" with the 2013 sequel "Deadliest Prey." We talk about whether this one is as much fun as the original, the differences in low-budget films between now and the late 80s, and finally, is it crazier that 2013 was 26 years after 1987, or that 2013 was 12 years ago now!

In this episode I'm joined by Freddie Young from Full Moon Reviews as we introduce him to the world of Billy Blanks action movies with "TC 2000". We start in the first 90 minutes or so looking at the upcoming year in movies, what ones we think will do well, what ones may struggle, and why. Then with "TC 2000," we talk about Billy Blanks as an action lead, and how he does both from an acting perspective and an action perspective.

We're joined this week by screenwriter Richard Pierce, as we look at the PM/Jeff Wincott classic "Last Man Standing."

DTVC Podcast 244, "Project Shadowchaser"
In this episode I'm joined once again by Chris "The Brain" Kacvinsky from Bulletproof Action, and this time we're looking at some Zags with "Project Shadowchaser," co-starring Martin Kove as the fly in the ointment. In addition to the movie, we have a few classic TV tangents, and also discuss songs that this movie brings to mind. (We also get stumped trying to think of Zags's best movies!)

We're joined once again by Jon Cross from the PM Entertainment Podcast and the After Movie Diner, this time to discuss a Joan Severance/C. Thomas Howell erotic thriller double feature, with "Dangerous Indiscretion" and "Payback." Before that though, Jon tells us about his recent foray into the DTV world with the movies "Mafia" and "Pistol Whipped." Then, after a break, we get into the erotic thrillers, first with "Dangerous Indiscretion," we discuss why it didn't work as well, even though Joan Severance really sells it. And then with "Payback," it works better overall, but we still try to make sense of Howell as an erotic thriller lead, specially with his mustache in this film. Finally, after the end theme song, there's a bonus 30 minutes or so of Jon and I riffing. You can find the PM Entertainment Podcast and After Movie Diner on all major podcatchers, and on YouTube.

We talked about how much fun we had and why, and how we need more movies like this in the theater. Then with "Santa's Slay," we talk about Bill Goldberg as a wrestler, and how this movie was a departure from his wrestling persona--in a good way.

DTVC Extra 51, "Ballerina"
"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode I'm looking at "Ballerina" after finally watching it on Starz. I get into how I missed it when it was in the theater, and then how much I wished I hadn't as I was watching the film on the small screen. I then try to break down why a movie that was so good didn't do as well at the box office. Then in the second part, I get into the Warner Bros. sale, and give my thoughts on what I see happening between Netflix winning out, or Paramount. To hear my thoughts on the previous entries in the John Wick series, it's DTVC Extra episodes 24 and 25 from back in May of 2024.
