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.

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. Check out the list of episodes here: .

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. Check out the list of episodes here: .

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. Check out the list of episodes here: .

"The Superman movie that time forgot" is today's topic of discussion. Big thanks to screenwriter / Superman junkie Adam Mallinger (@BittrScrptReadr) for recommending this one.

How did I find someone to defend one of the most detested musicals of all time? Listen in to find out! My thanks to author / film writer / Beatle fanatic Sarah Jae Leiber for choosing such an insane movie to talk about. (I challenge you to watch this movie before listening to the episode.)

Sometimes this podcast is like therapy for me. Big thanks to old-school wise-ass film nerd Vince Mancini (of The Frotcast) for choosing one of my least favorite films of the last 15 years.

It's not easy being a sci-fi horror film. Even when you pull off something cool, people will always call you an Alien retread. But Pandorum writer/director Christian Alvart is here to set the record straight on all sorts of things, from how the movie got made to how it got dumped into theaters in rather unceremonious fashion. My thanks to Christian for this great episode, and my thanks to all patrons and listeners! And ! Check out the list of episodes here: .

Yes, it's basically a feature-length Nintendo commercial. That's never been a secret. But perhaps there's some actual artistry and humanity to be found in there too? Well, filmmaker Joe Russo sure seems to think so. (Not the Marvel director Joe Russo; the horror geek !) Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more episodes at .
