Episode #172: Far and Away (1992)
Overhated
For a movie that got a whole lot of press back in the day, Ron Howard's Far and Away seems to be virtually forgotten these days, despite featuring two of the biggest movie stars ever born.

Episode #171: Clifford (1994)
Overhated
A comedic spin on "evil kid" thrillers? Sounds fun to me! Oh what's that? The evil kid is played by a 40-year-old Martin Short? Plus Charles Grodin, Mary Steenburgen, and Dabney Coleman in one of the most widely derided comedies of the entire 1990s? Sign me up. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

Episode #170: Wise Guys (1986)
Overhated
The prolific and controversial Bran De Palma was dealing with a few flops back in the mid-'80s, so he switched gears from dark thrillers to dark comedy, and the result was the loud, raucous Wise Guys. Longtime film critic Peter Sobczynski is on hand to defend this forgotten farce, and to remind us that at least a few influential folks went on record with a thumbs up on the flick.

Episode #169: The Quick and the Dead (1995)
Overhated
Already I can hear the cries: "how the HELL is this awesome movie even remotely 'hated'?!?" Well, let's look at how it was received when it first hit theaters!

Episode #168: Staying Alive (1983)
Overhated
There was a time when lots of people really wanted a sequel to Saturday Night Fever (1977). And then they got one. And most of them were unhappy with the result. Like, a lot of people. But not my old pal (and veteran film critic) Todd Gilchrist! Big thanks to Todd for picking an essential "bad" movie, which I can now scratch off the list, and also for a great chat.

Overhated
Gather 'round and I'll tell you the story of the Chinatown sequel that time forgot. Well, me and my guest, Ken Borsuk, a high-end film aficionado and longtime supporter of Overhated!

Episode #166: Species II (1998)
Overhated
What happens when your nasty little sci-fi horror flick turns into a surprise hit ? You bang out a sequel as quickly as possible, without messing with any of the key components too much. For better or for worse, of course. Fortunately my guest Sean Redlitz (co-writer of a recent Shudder horror film called The Sacrifice Game) is mostly positive on this kooky sequel, which is nice considering it's standing at a robust 9% at Rotten Tomatoes.

Episode #165: Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
Overhated
It was bound to happen eventually; someone chose The Phantom Menace for the Overhated treatment. On this super-sized episode I am joined by actor / writer / director Graham Skipper, whom you'll know if you watch a lot of indie horror films, or if you read good books about the Godzilla films. (.) Settle in for some truly nerdy Star Wars conversations, folks. Plus this episode is bookended by lots of Godzilla talk, which is always fun. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

Episode #164: Doom (2005)
Overhated
The video game movie is a frequently derided beast indeed. Sometimes even the half-decent ones get lumped in with the bottom of the barrel stuff. And that's just not fair. Big thanks to returning guest Cecil Trachenberg (check out GoodBadFlicks on youtube!) for picking this one, and double thanks to all listeners, patrons, and supporters.

Episode #163: Cabin Boy (1994)
Overhated
The universe is packed with lambasted comedies that probably don't warrant a second look -- and then there are movies like Cabin Boy. Which do. Join me and podcaster / Survivor expert (and former contestant) as we rediscover the joys of a truly weird comedy that dealt with way too much venom back in the day. Big thanks to () Steven, to all patrons and listeners, and to our sponsor . P.S. to the Cabin Boy article I mention / cite in the episode. P.S.S. the final 10 minutes of this episode are for Survivor nerds only. Fair warning! Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+...
info_outlineIf you would have told me in 2004 that one day I'd be listening to someone praise this movie, I would have dismissed you as a lunatic! But time makes fools of us all, I suppose. Thankfully I have the great author / writer / comedian Owen Egerton aboard, and he really loves this crazy flick. Listen in for why!
