Our tribute to the great Tom Sizemore is here! As usual, we discuss his more offbeat entries into the DTV canon. Not that his mainstream work wasn't impressive, but this is what we do. And what does Frankie Valli have to do with any of this? For all this and 'More, press play today!

Writer extraordinaire Richard Pierce returns for the third entry in our "Hangin'" series! While the topic of Sector 4: Extraction was, let's face it, inevitable, a wide range of topics are covered in our typical style. Will there be mentions of To The Limit? Perhaps Latin Dragon? Well, yeah, obviously, but what exactly are we saying this time? Tune in - now - to find out!

Our trilogy dedicated to the work of fan favorite Cynthia Rothrock concludes with this, the third and final episode.

Watch one of her classics tonight - but press play today!

Our tribute to the great Lance Henriksen begins with a recounting of our trip to Terrificon where we met six - count 'em, six! - celebrities, most of whom are what you might call "Comeuppance Reviews" celebrities - who are they?

Welcome back to the second of our three-part series about fan favorite Cynthia Rothrock!

Today we talk about one of our favorite actors - the great Peter Weller! But, as always, with a concentration on his DTV work.

-
How is it possible that we've gotten this far into our podcasting career without doing a show about the great and mighty Cynthia Rothrock? Perhaps the ultimate fan favorite, it's going to take time to delve into her peerless body of work. So, today we present part one of our planned miniseries about her. It's CR (Comeuppance Reviews) meets CR (Cynthia Rothrock), so scorpion kick that play button today!

We're crazy fans of Billy Zane - so, following on from our Tom Berenger episode, we now dare to enter the In Zane Asylum!

Where does Tom Berenger fit in to all this action madness? It's a question we've all been pondering, and today we explore the life and times of Berenger in search of an answer.

Matt, the DTVC, returns for the tenth - yes, TENTH - installment of the now long-running series of wackiness that we like to call No Subject.

-
On today's episode, we honor the great William Forsythe - a favorite around these parts and no stranger to the wild world of DTV movies. Dick Tracy barely gets a mention as we dig deep into his lengthy catalog. Will we find gems? Not so...gems? You're just going to have to tune in to find out!

Much like our podcast about Robert Forster, today's discussion of the great Roy Scheider eschews the obvious titles. If you're expecting lots of jawing about Jaws, you're plum out of luck.

Much like a certain boring movie under discussion, "launch" this episode today!

The Erotic Thriller was an important part of the video store and cable landscape of the 80's and 90's, and joining us on today's show to talk about the ET phenomenon is none other than Matt P the DTVC, and who better than he to discuss these films that seemingly only now are getting their due? It's time to separate the rated from the unrated, so press play today!

Today we shine the spotlight on one of our favorite people - the inimitable Pam Grier!
