Few comedies have caused this many film critics' heads to explode with rage -- myself included -- but you can't get too far into the Overhated conversation without addressing the elephant's penis in the room. It's time for Freddy Got Fingered. For this episode I'm joined by former film critic and current sitcom writer/producer Patrick Walsh, who co-hosts his own Patreon podcast called "We'll See You In Hell" RIGHT HERE.
Thanks as always, patrons.

What happens when you cut a superhero movie's budget in half just days before production beings? You end up with a half-finished, misshapen mess like 1987's Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. And fortunately we have one of the film's stars on hand to discuss what the hell went wrong. Big thanks to (veteran character actor and present-day Lex Luthor) Jon Cryer(!) for taking the time to discuss the "overhated" levels on Superman's infamous sojourn into nuclear disarmament.

In this episode I'm joined by my old friend Ben Rock, who once directed a movie called Alien Raiders and produced a podcast for Shudder called Video Palace. He also hosts a cinematography podcast and has a nice beard. Ben and I spend 40-some minutes chatting about the slightly infamous Blair Witch Project sequel, and he offers some unique insights because he was the production designer on Part 1!

Episode #3: Howard the Duck (1986)
Overhated
11/19/22 • 34 min
Fresh off the wild success of the three Star Wars and two Indiana Jones movies, George Lucas sets his sights on something a bit... weirder. Settle in for some Howard the Duck banter between me and my very old friend Erik Childress (@erikthemovieman) as we contemplate the creation of this colorfully bizarre misfire, what works and what doesn't, and whether or not this is even the worst movie of that particular summer.

Episode #5: Super Mario Bros. (1993)
Overhated
11/26/22 • 24 min
The "video game to movie" adaptation has been the domain of (mostly) bad movies for decades. But where did this type of movie begin? Right here! In 1993, with this wildly bizarre and (yes) frequently awful piece of pop culture. But could this infamous flick be somehow overhated? Film critic Audrey Fox (Crooked Marquee, Nerdist, Ebert Voices, etc.) is here to discuss that precise question!

Episode #7: Flash Gordon (1980)
Overhated
12/06/22 • 42 min
I needed a special guest to cover a special movie, so let's just get to it. Here's me and Junkfood Cinema's Brian Salisbury discussing the history, quality, and reputation of 1980's Flash Gordon.

Episode #60: The Ladykillers (2004)
Overhated
01/18/24 • 34 min
Could a Coen brothers' film be (gasp) overhated? Let's sit down with film critic / author / biographer Shawn Levy (@shawnlevy) and find out! (He's also a poet.) Big thanks as always to all listeners and patrons.

Episode #1: Catwoman (2004)
Overhated
11/12/22 • 30 min
Ishtar. Heaven's Gate. Howard the Duck. Plan 9 from Outer Space. The history of cinema is littered with a big batch of "historically hated" movies; films that go beyond bad and become pop culture punchlines. But why are most "bad" movies more or less forgotten, while others still retain their punching bag status for decades? That's something I'll be discussing with a collection of brilliant guest hosts in Overhated.
For episode 1 I turned to one of twitter's most reliably insightful film fanatics. That'd be Jen Johans (@filmintuition). And we had a good time chatting about the widely lambasted (and frequently ridiculous) Catwoman movie from 2004.

Episode #4: Jason X (2002)
Overhated
11/23/22 • 35 min
Jason X probably doesn't belong in the highest pantheon of overhated films like your Catwomen and your Howards the Duck, but it's safe to say it's been dismissed, derided, and and dunked upon for 20 years. So I decided to sit down with my old friend Todd Farmer (aka the man who wrote Jason X) to discuss the reputation of what could have been called Friday the 13th Part 10: In Space.

Episode #8: Winter's Tale (2014)
Overhated
12/08/22 • 29 min
For this episode I'm joined by my friend and filmmaker Laurel Vail (check out her short film What Metal Girls Are Into) as we make our way through the big-budget, ensemble-cast, literary adaption / cuckoo misfire / romantic drama fantasy... tragedy that is Akiva Goldsman's Winter's Tale.
