Notes de l’épisode
So-so box office, lukewarm reviews, and a massive payday for the lead actor led to this movie being labeled as some sort of insane misfire. But it's not. To say movie nuts like thuis movie more now than they did back then would be a massive understatement. My thanks to film writer Matthew Simpson (@SmatthewAF) for picking a great movie to celebrate Overhated's next hundred reviews.

Cargill is back! And instead of covering something like freakin' Megaforce, we decided to have a long talk about the much-derided (but perhaps slightly overhated) Sinister 2, a movie he wrote alongside his frequent collaborator Scott Derrickson. And yep, this is a super-sized conversation. Big thanks to Cargill for this great chat, and my perpetual appreciation to all patrons and listeners.

If you grew up loving Conan the Barbarian (1982) you probably also had some room in your heart for Conan the Destroyer (1984) and Red Sonja (1985). And if not, that's OK. For this episode I found a big Sonja supporter in my old friend Ashley Lynch. Big thanks to Ashley for picking this one, and my love to Effin Birds and every single patron / listener!

Yes, I know it's a beloved movie, but it bombed at the box office and it was generally overlooked for ages, so we've decided to include the film in the Dabney Coleman tribute. And by we I mean me and frequent guest, podcast producer, and film critic Erik Childress, who loves this movie a whole lot. (More than The Karate Kid!?)

Richard Gere, Gene Hackman, and Denzel Washington? In a Sidney Lumet film? How could a movie like this be all but forgotten these days? I dig into it with filmmaker Rodney Ascher (back for his third episode) in this lengthy and very nerdy conversation full of digressions and Lumet sidebars.

It's one of the most savagely derided films of the entire 1990s -- a decade that had no shortage of bad films -- but Showgirls has undergone something of a metamorphosis over the past few decades, despite still being full-bore trashy campy pulp. Join me and my guest, author / podcaster / film critic Kristen Lopez (of The Wrap), as we discuss all sorts of stuff related to the infamous disaster.

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.
