The WHM "Taking Care of Business" episode got me thinking... has Jim Belushi ever done a single thing that could be considered good or funny? I scanned his imdb page quickly and didn't see anything, but there's just so much there. How does a person like this continue to get work?

Gang Related, in which he plays a crooked cop partnered with Tupac, is a pretty OK movie.

I don't know who the new Jim Belushi would be and I think he might be a one-of-a-kind anomaly. The closest I could think of might be Tom Arnold, but Tom Arnold has actually been in a decent movie (True Lies) and he's not exactly "new". It seems pretty difficult to find someone who has never done anything good.

He doesn't hate women enough. You're forgetting what makes the Belushi so detestable is that on top of being an unfunny fat slob, he has the most undeserved sense of superiority.

He's actually really good in that movie, and puts in a good performance in Oliver Stone's Salvidor. The guy is actually a better dramatic actor than he is 'comedy' star and in another life he would've been a solid character actor.

I've never seen that movie so I can't speak from any real knowledge, but just the concept of 'Jim Belushi the dramatic actor' kinda makes my head hurt and I smell toast.

I was about to say it must've been early in his career but oddly enough it was after Saturday Night Live and just a year before The Principal so I got no idea what went on there. I take back what I said, he's done a bunch of dramatic stuff that I realised I've actually seen before (Including the erotic? thriller Traces of Red) and they're almost all terrible.

So I guess it's time I post this here, hope that's kosher. I asked you guys for some advice not too long ago on what you're looking for in a bad movie podcast and I hope I didn't let you down too much.

http://netflixmartyrs.blogspot.com/

We only watch films that are easily accessible (90% of the time, movies on Netflix, occasionally something on Youtube or Amazon) and talk about whether you should queue it up or not. When it came to tone we really wanted it to sound like four friends drinking beers and bullshitting after watching a movie. It's a bit rough quality wise in my opinion because we record straight from Skype for now (and forever because we're scattered across the world). I do all the editing and try to balance a pretty intense grad program, which isn't much of an excuse but it's a temporary reason why I'm not having everyone record their own strands. This will happen eventually though. I think over time the podcast will develop more "segments" and find its own identity. Feedback would be appreciated and I'm pretty good at taking criticism. :)

Really enjoyed your Dracula 3000 episode weekly font. I'm not the best at critiquing things but the audio quality wasn't too bad and it was worth suffering through. You've started strong and I can only see it getting better. The film really is undeserving of that box art.

Thanks, I just appreciate the listen, critique or no. :) Right now the schedule is every other week is a full release and in between we do a "Halfisode" which has a little tangent based on the previous episode and maybe an interview if I can find someone with strong enough opinions on the topic. This week is our favorite Vampire movies and some Twilight discussion. I'd love to release every week but D and I are in doctorate programs, Rob is married and Pam has a super awesome job so it's tough.

weekly font, great start with your first episode! I usually hate that kind of Skype-esque conference call, but the rapport makes it worth it. Count me in as a subscriber.

Since my podcast has been mentioned in the thread before, and we're talking goon critiques, I'd love to hear thoughts on our latest episode of Alcohollywood, which I think is one of our stronger entries. (Crossposted from the CD thread:)

:siren: NEW EPISODE! :siren:



This week, we have one of our best episodes in awhile, as we take a close look at A Fistful of Dollars. Seriously, after the past couple of episodes, where we had to deal with bafflingly bad or opaque films, we are able to dig into quite a bit of content with this one - surprise, surprise, a good movie gives us a lot to talk about! It also helps that we had on one of our better guests, our good friend Todd, who's always good for discussion (and suffering through my obscure quiz questions). Take a listen!

I was pumped when I saw that they did this movie. I just watched it last week after seeing it on-demand because I had some vague memory of someone telling me it was great. It was obvious after looking it up that they were talking about the classic one from the 40s.

Haha, sorry bout that - I try to post schedules in the CineD thread whenever possible, we mention what we're doing next week at the end of each episode (and their corresponding post), we post trailers for the upcoming movie on Facebook each week, and we keep COMING SOON thumbnails on the All Episodes page. Is there a better way to keep listeners apprised of our schedule? I'd honestly love to know, if listeners are fuzzy on what episodes we're doing next.

By the way, we're doing Jurassic Park; we've recorded, and we try to get the finished product in every Thursday (in slow weeks, we'll get it out by Friday night at least).

I love when they do episodes about seemingly innocent and lighthearted comedies that end up turning into repulsive psychodramas. The movie I suggested for listener request month falls right into this category.

Also I loved how they tore into Broderick's character like they did with Schwimmer; all of these quirky leading men from the 90's played amoral psychopathic cowards.

Robot Jox on "Alcohollywood"? Hewlett, you glorious bastard.

Finally had to drop "Yeah, It's That Bad." I just couldn't take the creepy Silent Hill-esque audio editing coupled with the non-humor anymore. When one asked the other for a quoted box office take this week, the other got within about ten-thousand or so dollars, and apparently that was enough to launch a two minute uproarious laughing fit, I knew I was done.

As OK Octopus already pointed out in the RGD movie podcast thread, We decided to take on Robot Jox by popular demand. We had a hell of a lot of fun on this one, especially since the movie is just so amazing to talk about. Our guest, Derek, is a huge fan of the film, so he was a wonderful resource, and the quiz is relatively entertaining (though I had to make some last-minute additions since, in our break before the quiz, Jared offhandedly rattled off the answers to the Nightmare Round without knowing I was going to put them on there). All in all, pretty proud of this one.

Next week, we're gonna get back into some noir territory for the first time in awhile with The Third Man!
