Exposed (2016; Declan Dale aka Gee Malik Linton) – Dare Daniel Podcast Episode 20

“Nobody likes you!”

After unsuccessfully suing to have their names removed from the episode, Daniel Barnes and Corky McDonnell enter a fugue state to review the utterly indecipherable Keanu Reeves thriller Exposed.

A catastrophe on every imaginable level, Exposed was originally titled Daughter of God, before getting hacked to pieces by Lionsgate and dumped onto North American VOD.

As ambiguity crosses over into incoherence, Daniel and Corky wonder what’s wrong with Keanu’s face, while also discussing albino aliens, birthday cupcakes and unearned plot twists.

Why did DP dare Daniel and Corky to watch Exposed? “I watched ten minutes of this Keanu Reeves supernatural detective movie, mostly to figure out if Keanu is wearing a prosthetic face. I couldn’t take the stench of this film long enough to figure it out. Clearly a job for Team Dare Daniel.”

Film Podcast – Dare Daniel Mini-Episode 19.5

In this rapid-fire training montage of a mini-episode, Daniel Barnes and Corky McDonnell preview next week’s review of Exposed, an unsurprisingly unmemorable film that was cut to nonsensical ribbons by the studio.

Daniel and Corky also look back through poop-colored glasses at their previous review of Ready to Rumble, and after feeling uninspired by the “big game” ending of that laughless wrestling comedy, the hosts select their all-time favorite “big game” movies endings.

After exchanging the usual casual threats of murder and copyright infringement, Daniel and Corky discuss grapefruit water and George Burns, deduce who put the Ram in the Rama Lama Ding Dong and read a few of your movie dares.

Dare Daniel Question of the Week: What is your favorite “big game” movie ending?

Corky and Daniel’s pick: the bicycle race from Breaking Away

New Dares: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (David Paul); Ultraviolet (Marco Cabodi)

Crane kick ending from The Karate Kid

Jimmy Chitwood’s winning shot from Hoosiers

George Burns singing “Fixing a Hole”

Next Episode

Film Podcast – Dare Daniel Mini-Episode 20.5

Welcome to Scare Daniel, a Halloween-themed overlay of the podcast featuring reviews of five maligned horror movies during the entire month of Cork-tober.

First on the chopping block: George Pavlou’s 1986 film Rawhead Rex, a hilariously bad adaptation of a Clive Barker short story that stars David Dukes, Kelly Piper and the most janky-looking monster mask you have ever seen.

In the meantime, hosts Daniel Barnes and Corky McDonnell prepare for Scare Daniel by talking about the horror scenes that scared them the most, while also taking a look back at the structural horrors of last week’s film, the Keanu Reeves non-thriller Exposed.

Elsewhere in this trainwreck of a mini-episode, the hosts obsess over Frank Langella and invite Michael Winslow to eat their lunch.
