Usually, we review an entire movie. But recently I got to be a guest on “Rocky Minute” The daily podcast in which hosts Doug Greenberg and Jason Hanes knockout the Rocky films one minute at a time. Apparently, Dueling Genre is a whole network of shows that are just people analyzing a movie 60 seconds at a clip.
Thanks to past guest and FOH (friend of the host), Paul Sullivan, I got to be on three days in a row. I had a good time. All three episodes are a fun listen. Here are one or two episodes that I was on. Not sure how many I’ll post. But please check them out and take a listen.
Here’s a review of “Rocky IV” I did on this show with Adam Felber and Rico Gagliano. 

 

Before “LA LA Land” didn’t win the Oscar, there was another musical about making it in Hollywood that didn’t deserve any awards. “Hollywood Musical!” came out two, maybe ten years before “LA LA” landed in theaters. Today is a rare solo show. Ok, the only one. It’s my one time doing it alone. So listen on 1.5 speed. Or even 2X. It will sound fine.
This is also a rare show where I shit on a movie. It’s a dull, out of focus movie with a couple of sharp performances from Dee Ann Newkirk and Angela Pupello.
After thoughts:
This was recorded way before “La La Land” came out.  But I put it on hold b/c I thought it was too mean and didn’t like that it was just me. So I’m putting it out now with little or no fanfare and just a core people listening to the show. I have another episode I was afraid to post. I might do that next. Plus, remastering old episodes that are no longer on itunes and/or need help with audio (AKA – sounded like shit)
Thanks to everyone who stayed with the show and thanks for your support.
Here are real Amazon reviews of “Hollywood Musical!”

2.0 out of 5 stars Lame production of as potentially great story.
ByTomon March 14, 2017
I have never watched a movie this “lame” – well, not since about 1970. Actually, there were some good parts. Some of it was very funny – especially the first few minutes. And there was some good acting.

It was a great story, but the directing, the production – technically good – but the story – it’s a great story, but it’s the script I think – the good story never came across in as a dramatic way as it could have. The lamest part? The songs they sang at these weird moments – and the songs were lame. They sounded like Broadway singers – in a movie! And the lyrics and the songs – they really slowed things down. The songs did not make sense. I skipped over most of the songs. I feel bad because the story had potential. It just didn’t get told.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good Story, Sometimes A Little Slow
ByC. Bellon January 5, 2017
I really enjoyed the story and watching the characters develop. The actors and actresses weren’t the perfect beauty types which made the story even more real to me. One of my favorite songs is in the middle of the movie Something Has To Give, it brings in all the main characters. I also liked that the ending was about hope, which was discussed before. Not everyone had a perfectly happy ending, and it’s still up in the air if any of them actually will become a star, but they still keep the hope and keep trying.

The four stars is because in some parts did get a little bit on a slow side, but overall a pretty good musical.
3.0 out of 5 stars Great telling of this life
ByEric R. Hansenon February 21, 2015

I really enjoyed it. Some of the lyrics were a little cheesy. Overall, I think it was very well thought out and put together. A lot of care and love went into this project and the subject matter is really important. So many people are slugging it out to work in the theater and movies etc.

If you have any connection to the artistic world, please watch this movie.
1.0 out of 5 starsHard to watch
By🙂on September 6, 2015
So not what I was expecting, it seems really low budget. I did not watch the whole thing, I could not get through 20min

“The Fate of the Furious!” Sean Conroy and I review the 8th “Fast and Furious” movie! If you love hearing people talk about family and have BBQ’s, this is the movie series for you! Sean and I went to the Thursday night screening.

Jeff Cesario (Play with Pain Podcast) talks about writing a  Michael Keaton movie, “Jack Frost”  where he turns into a snowman. And Movie Man, Brett Berg, breaks down the movie. Before Keaton  was “Birdman” he was “Jack Frost.” We talk to one of the writers of the film and review the movie!

My friends a frequent guests Paul Sullivan and Jeff Cesario talk about about Jack Frost. We were recording an episode about “The fish that saved Pittsburgh and Jeff drops the bomb that he co-­wrote “jack Frost!!!” what the what!??! Jeff, by the way, wrote for the Larry Sanders show and was the comic that was always bumped from the show. So Jeff gives context and behind the scenes stories.
But first! Brett Berg, who used to program films for the legendary Cinefamily theater and is now a hot shot at Alamo Drafthouse Theaters in LA, talks about his take on Jack frost. We were at a party he threw where he showed a 45 minute version of Jack Frost. He said he felt like the showing the whole film would pissed people off, so he just showed the good parts. He also did an edit of “Silent night deadly night 5: the toy maker” with Micky Rooney. We didn’t get a chance to talk about it. As you can hear, there was a party going on outside, so it was hard to do a longer interview.
We have a sponsor, Tee Public. It’s great quality cool t­-shirts. Go to Proudlyresents.com/shirts for star wars life day, breaking bad, the room an dother themed christmas shirts. Also a great place to get gifts. They are running a sale right now. So their normal decent price is now low. I love their shirts and I was able to curate the ones I think you’ll dig too. I hope you liked the show. Go to Proudlyresents.com/fish to hear the full interview with Paul and Jeff. Besides tearing about “The Fish that saved Pittsburgh they talk a lot about writing for comics like Dennis miller and Garry Shandling. Jeff came on this show a few times playing his very funny character, chet the sports guy. I’ll have links to those episodes and the many funny reviews Paul has done on our show. 

Adam Felber and Andres Du Bouchet perform their classic “tough” movie reviewers from the “website” “Ain’t Everything Cool dot Yes!” They’ve done these characters a few times over the years on the podcast. Always funny. 
Here are a couple of past reviews from “Ain’t Everything Cool Dot Yes”:
Here and here

We’re ripping apart, Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas, Star Wars Holiday Special, Adam Sandler’s 8 Crazy Nights and a blasfominst review of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” plus a new song from the great Rob paravonian.
Click here for more Christmas movie reviews!

First a word from our sponsor- don’t fast forward! I like these guys. The people behind Busted Tees made a t-shirt site called Tee public. I set up a “Store” of shirts I thought you’d dig. Plus can access all their shirts through my page go to  ProudlyResents.com/shirts.
They are funny tee shirts that are actually funny. Right now I put up movie related
christmas shirts. The Room, Star Wars, Breaking Bad and other themed shirts. I have the Room one, it’s pretty awesome. They are having sales all  the  time, but shirts normally fun about $20, which is a decent price. Great, product, great price, I feel good about plugging these guys. So go to proudlyresents.com/shirts or or main page and click the banner.
As you can tell from my voice, which is more nasal than usual, I’m sick! So I’d listen to the whole show at 1.25 speed. I sound normal that way.
For the holidays, I collected different movie reviews for each denomination. As you know there’s a war on christmas!
Growing up in public school, we were told that because of “the chanukah people,” and not the separation of Church and State, we couldn’t just sing Christmas carols in class. We had to sing chanukah carols. You know all those famous chanukah carols. Like Dreidel,dreidel…

In the spirit of that music teacher who must be dead by
now, we have a diverse show. We have my brother Mike  Spiegelman ripping apart 8 crazy nights, Jimmy pardo, todd levin and Sharon houston talking “Kirk cameron’s saving christmas.
First, to be politically correct, we celebrate Life day. Here’s a review from a very early episode that’s not on itunes anymore. It’s me, obs, actor Matt Swanson and writer FM Demarco.

That was the live “Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas“ episode i did with jimmy pardo, todd levin and sharon houston. It’s a great movie – well not really a movie. Find links to full episode,   on itunes and where ever else you listen to poscast, or for all the many christmas themed episodes and blogs go to Proudlyresents.com/ch. There’s reviews of Christmas with the kranks, Santa clause the movie and much more.
If you want to watch the Star Wars Christmas Special and read an oral history of the special go to  proudly resents .com 
Here’s a christmasy song from friend of the show Rob Paravonian’s new CD “A-B “. you can get it on itunes and cd baby or go to Robprocks.com. Also check out “Baby in a bar.” another great tune.
Then it’s Sherilyn’s ( ) review of “it’s a wonderful life.”

I’ve been doing this podcast for a long time, maybe 6 years. Recently, since having a baby, it’s been tougher to put out episodes. Every time I’m about to quit, I get a little glimmer of hope to keep going. There’s a company that will edit my shows,

Eddie Murphy takes the check and phones it in in this unnecessary follow up to an unnecessary follow up of “Beverly Hills Cop”! I chose this movie because my brother Mike Spiegelman is obsessed with it. He talks about it all the time. So he’s here to talk about why he loves it so much.
This is the third part of a three part #podcrawl! It started with “Hey, Do You Remember…?” reviewing “Beverly Hills Cop.” Then “Does it Have Legs?” took on “Beverly Hills Cop 2.” Now hear the conclusion – until there’s a BHC 4!

Check out other podcrawls with “Read it and Weep,” “The Flop House” and others.

Plot hole – According to IMDB
At least twice during the film, characters refer to the counterfeit paper as being “U.S. Mint quality”. However, the U.S. Mint (contrary to common misconception) does not print paper currency. It only mints coins. Paper money is made by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. One of the characters who makes the error is the Secret Service Agent. Since the primary purpose of the Secret Service is to prevent counterfeiting, one would think a Secret Service Agent would be knowledgeable about where paper money is printed.

More like the “Ninja 3: The Dumb-ination,” Am I right? Conan writer Todd Levin joins me to talk about great, great mess of a movie. We were going to watch some other movie, but Todd emails me that this movie is amazing and he was right!
We take down this Canon Classic!

About the lead actress Lucinda Dickey from IMDB:
Lucinda was par

t of the troupe when Solid Gold’s third season began and a short biography of her was included in press materials for the show. However, her stint was very brief — so brief that most Solid Gold fans may not realize she actually danced on the show. Born and raised in Hutchinson, Kansas, Lucinda began dancing at the age of four and went on to major in dance at Kansas State University for two years. As a college student, Lucinda competed in the Miss Kansas pageant, where she won the talent division and finished third runner-up.
Lucinda then moved to Los Angeles and won a dance scholarship with the Dupree Dance Academy. After 10 months of study at Dupree, she auditioned for the movie Grease 2(1982) and won a role as one of the film’s lead dancers. Lucinda also appeared in the movie ninja III: The Domination (1984), where she played a woman possessed by the evil spirit of a ninja assassin. The movie role she is most famous for, however, is that of Kelly (aka Special K) in the 1984 cult film Breakin’ (1984) which also featured Solid Gold dancers Cooley Jackson and Leslie Cook.
Lucinda currently lives in California with her husband, Craig Pilligian (who is co-executive producer of the TV show “Survivor”) and their two children, according to a July 2000 Hutchinson News article.

Here are some goofs from the IMDB page:

Holes created by the Ninja stabbing through police car roof.


In one shot the ninja kicks a police officer off his bike. In the very next shot, the police officer is shown, still on his bike, flying over a hill and into a pond.


When Christie throws a ninja star at Officer Case she is on one side of the pool table close to him. When he then throws a pool ball at her, she is suddenly on the other side of the pool table further away.


In the helicopter, the Black Ninja kicks the pilot unconscious but leaves him in the helicopter. The cop behind him says, “Hold on, I’ll go and get him.” In the next shot, the pilot has disappeared.


When Christie seduces Billy, she takes her towel off and we see a white towel covering her breast. The next shot shows her bare back and no second towel.



After the evil ninja comes out of the lake he is soaked from head to toe. In the next shot, he continues to fight police officers and is bone dry.


When the evil ninja is killed at the end of the movie, he falls on his back. When the camera goes back to show him dead he is suddenly on his left side.


When Billy confronts Christie as she steps out of the shower (after the massacre at the cemetery) she has a huge ugly bruise over her right eye. She attacks Billy and leaves, going to the old temple. She gets there, fights the good ninja and passes out.

Jerry Lewis movie!
I did a full edited special “Proudly Resents” version of my guest appearance on Mike Spiegelman’s show. But I posted Mike’s full show. So, for completists, or people with not enough time to listen to the full version or too much time and can listen to both,,, Here’s my edited version. I took the time to edit it, so instead of replacing the one, I’ll post the other. Confused? It’s all perfectly natural. I’m crazy about the blonde. (cue theme) (“Bosom Buddies” reference.)
 
About the episode!
Mike Spiegelman had me on his podcast “Let’s Watch a Full Length Movie On YouTube” so I hi-jacked the audio and put together this episode. I’m sorry about the audio. It’s not great! But the content makes it worth putting up. So go to his show to hear the full show or to watch the movie along with us!
Jerry Lewis tried to cash in on the Sci Fi craze with his “comedy” with Madeline Kahn. “Slapstick of Another Kind” is the worst movie we’ve reviewed and we’ve reviewed “Hardly Working.”

Jerry Lewis’ comeback movie is today’s film.
Mike Spiegelman had me on his podcast “Let’s Watch a Full Length Movie On YouTube” Here’s a recording or it in full! Enjoy!
(Please forgive this week’s poor sound quality!)

From Mike’s Website:
Another kind of slapstick what? I want to help you sit through Jerry Lewis’ movie Slapstick (of Another Kind) but the title doesn’t help.

Proudly Resents podcaster Adam Spiegelman (and my brother) try to help, too, but it sounds like we’re eating hot peppers. The movie’s unwatchable.
This cultural collision of Jerry Lewis and the Kurt Vonnegut novel Slapstick has Lewis and Madeline Kahn play the dual roles of parents and their extra-terrestrial twins.
Theatrically released in Europe in 1982, it haunted American VHS rental stores a few years later. It comes after Hardly Working (1980) for Jerry (which Adam and I covered on his podcast).

Update:
From Variety.com:
Jerry Lewis, the brash slapstick comic who teamed with Dean Martin in the 1950s and later starred in “The Nutty Professor” and “The Bellboy” before launching the Muscular Dystrophy telethon, has died in Las Vegas. He was 91.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist John Katsilometes reported that he died at his home at 9:15 a.m. Sunday morning. Lewis’ agent has since confirmed the news to Variety.
Over the past ten years of his life, the cranky icon’s reputation soured slightly as he was forced to apologize for making a gay slur on camera during the 2007 telethon, continued to make racist and misogynistic jokes into his ’90s, and didn’t hesitate to share his right-wing political views.

 








In addition to his most famous films, Lewis also appeared in a number of notable works, such as Martin Scorsese’s “The King of Comedy,” but was largely offscreen from the late ’60s on and was more active with his annual Labor Day Muscular Dystrophy telethon. Through the charity, he raised more than $2.45 billion before being relieved of his role as leader of the telethon in 2011. As late as 2016, Lewis continued to perform in Las Vegas, where he first debuted his comedy routine back in 1949.

I went to Horrible Movie Night with a couple of microphones to watch “Prison of the Dead” and get some real time reactions. Comedians Dave Stone, Lisa Best and HMN co-producer Aaron Baker weigh in on this junk fest of a film.
Listen to a different format for the show. Let me know what you think!
 
ABout the film from IMDB:
Kristof, an eccentric rich kid, tricks his high school friends into getting back together for a reunion of sorts, under the pretense of a funeral. The group of twenty-somethings is forced to spend the night in an old abandoned witches’ prison. During a Ouija Board séance, the schoolmates accidentally unearth three dead executioners from their graves. A little confused, and quite a bit angry, the Crypt Keepers initiate a killing spree that will only end when everyone is dead. Fortunately, the schoolmates all wore black. Too bad it’s for their own funerals… Written by ImortalKandy <imortalkandy@aol.com>
Review:

Holy sh*t?!?!?!? did I just pay 4 bucks to see this!?
Author: death280 from PA
24 July 2001

I will start off by saying this is indeed the worst film ever made.The story if you can call it that,is some guy that looks like he is straight off of beverly hills 90210 pretends he is dead and sets up a fake funeral at a castle.His friends show up and he gets up out of the coffin laughing.they get p***ed,and he tells them they can win a million bucks.All they have to do is find the “talon key”.So they all agree and hold a seance.One girl gets possesed by a cartoon wavy thingy and starts speaking latin.As it turns out the castle was an old witches prison and the cartoon thing was one of there spirits.This somehow wakes up three hunch back/executioners and they rise from there graves.and they repeat the scene of them getting out of the ground about 15 times.From then on everyone wanders around and a cartoon thing goes into their mouth and they just stand still and say “Sutra,Sutra,Sutra” then the 3 hunch backs come and the victim says “ah the executioners” then you see the weapons raise and a squirt of blood goes on the person.Then later when you see the bodies the wounds and blood have magically vanished!It doesnt remotely make sense however it is not as bad as bloodstorm.anywho the people just all get killed without resisting at all.It is the worst movie ever made avoid it at all cost.For anyone who has seen it I recomend flushing your eyes out with acid.And then there is the great quote “I never had sex with a zombie before,is this gonna hurt?”In closing I would like to say if I made this movie I would most likely put a bullet in my head.
 
 

The Runaways movie Joan Jett doesn’t want you to see.


Alan Sacks from the podcast “Peter and the Acid King,” co-created “Welcome Back, Kotter.” Alan Sacks gave John Travolta his big break. He produced films for the Disney Channel and the Jonas Brother. Most Recently, Alan Sacks managed the kid rock phenom ” .” But for me, he’s best known for the Ray Sharkey LA Punk Rock art house flick, duBeat-e-o.
On the podcast, Alan Sacks goes into great detail about his experience in the punk scene and what brought him there.
I talked to Alan Sacks and I brought up that I thought he was the manager of the kid heavy metal band, “Unlocking the Truth.” Alan immediately set me straight and let me know that he was let go. Alan’s options are his own. I know nothing of this situation. I invite the parents of the kids or the management to rebut what Alan said. But again, it’s his opinion. Not mine or the show’s.
Penelope Spheeris, imagine entertainment. 

Anyhoo – We started talking about other careers that Alan Sacks launched, like John Travolta. It’s nice to hear that he was superstar from day one. Then I mined him for whatever “Welcome Back, Kotter” stories I could get from him.
My big question was – How does a guy go from running the biggest show on TV to hanging out in punk clubs? Alan Sacks had an interesting journey. He’s still on it. Alan Sacks just finished writing his memoirs, which includes things that were so awful he wouldn’t repeat it.
duBeat-e-o sounds like a great moment in your life when you get to make what you want and how you want it. I work as a TV talk show producer so I have to follow rules of professionalism and standards and format and all that. It’s hard to break out of that for the podcast. But would this podcast even be listenable if I was all over the place? Or even more than I am now… It’s an interesting situation. How self-indulgent can you be? Very, I guess. But duBeat-e-o would not be worth talking about if Alan Sacks had a full budget and a straight narrative. We would not be searching for copies of it at Vidiots in Santa Monica.
What is something that you’ve done that’s just for you? How did it turn out? Share on our FB page or Twitter using #myduBeateo. I’ll share it on an upcoming show.What is it about the film that is so appealing?
A programming note – We had to use the phone after Skype decided not to work. So the sound quality is not best on either end. A great interview though. I’m working on it. It’s only be 4 years, I’ll get it.
Plus -I removed the clip of the movie.
Again, all of Alan Sack’s opinions are Alan Sack’s.
Rough transcript of the interview:
Welcome to proudly presents I’m obsessed with cold found good bad movies obscure films.
It’s just that I just love it.
So the movie this week we’re talking about is due Dubeat-e-o.
So this movie the Dubeat-e-o would speak to the director of the movie does a great interview with them. You’d be surprised who made it and his journey and who he is and this is a fascinating story. I need you is the first three minutes and I think it gives you an idea of what the film is like at Prather’s and Stockholm’s slash Allen Sachs is my interview with Alan Sachs’s director BDubeat-e-o. How are you. OK how are you doing that. Are you still working on you’re on tour with unlocking truth. No I’m not.

Back to this episode… Here’s a trailer for the film and part of the original song that Kathleen covers.

FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Miami Connection is a 1987 independent martial arts film starring Y.K. Kim, who also wrote and produced the feature. Originally, the film was critically maligned and received poor box office return upon release. It remained unseen for decades until Drafthouse Films restored the film for a proper release in 2012. The film was released on DVD, Blu-ray, limited-edition VHS, and various digital download options on December 11, 2012. Since then, the film has been better received by audiences and has garnered a cult following.
Plot
A cocaine deal in Miami is interrupted by a group of motorcycle-riding ninjas led by Yashito, who steal the drugs and rides back to Orlando to party. At a club, the ninjas’ second-in-command, Jeff, sees his sister Jane onstage. She has become romantically involved with John, the bassist of the club’s band, Dragon Sound, which consists of five University of Central Florida students who live together and train Tae Kwon Do. Jeff disapproves of his sister’s relationship with John and confronts him at school, but Mark, the leader of Dragon Sound, stands up to him.
Another band confronts the owner of the club over his hiring of Dragon Sound, but gets beaten up. The band leader brings a large group of rowdy guys to Dragon Sound directly and fights them in the street, but Dragon Sound defeats them. Consequently, the rival band enlists the help of Jeff, who summons Dragon Sound to fight at a train depot, but he and his men are badly defeated by Dragon Sound’s superior Tae Kwon Do. Jeff tries again by kidnapping Tom, the lead singer of Dragon Sound. The remaining band members stage a rescue, wherein they free their singer and accidentally kill Jeff. Yashito is angered by Jeff’s death and sets out for revenge.
Meanwhile, another member of the band, Jim, has revealed that he is searching for his long-lost father. He finally receives word that his father has been relocated, so the band pools their money to buy him a suit and then head to the airport. Along the way, the ninjas surround Mark, Jim and John and chase them into a park, where they do battle. Jim is critically injured, but John and Mark manage to kill all of the ninjas and Mark kills Yashito in single combat. At the hospital, Jim survives his wounds and reconnects with his repentant father.

Jimmy Pardo,  Todd Levin  (Conan) and comedian Sharon Houston  (Punk’d) rip apart the worst Christmas movie ever made, “Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas.”
Listen to more Christmas movie reviews Itunes  or RSS.

Recorded live at the Improv Lab in Hollywood, CA.The war on the war on Christmas continues! For Saving Christmas Kirk Cameron grabbed a camcorder and a bunch of college students and did their best to fill 80 minutes. It’s a variety show of sermons, backwards logic, mumbo jumbo and “comedy.”
Kirk puts his name upfront on “Saving Christmas” like a Tyler Perry movie, just a lot less plot.
Full disclosure, there were three people in the audience and four people on stage. I never planned on selling out the place, in fact, that was three more people than I expected to show up. There was my friend John Santry. He’s game for anything though.
 
I, Host Adam Spiegelman,  was standing outside the Improv comedy club with Jimmy Pardo waiting for Sharon Houston when two women in their late 20’s got out of an Uber. I thought, “Oh crap. I hope they aren’t coming to my show.” They were. They were day drinking and saw the live “Saving Christmas” online. I just felt pressure all of a sudden to perform for two drunks. But they were very nice and of course, we ended up talking to them.


From IMDB.com
Kirk is enjoying the annual Christmas party extravaganza thrown by his sister until he realizes he needs to help out Christian, his brother-in-law, who has a bad case of the bah-humbugs. Kirk’s fresh look at Christmas provides Christians the chance to see Christ is where He has always been: at the center of our Christmas celebrations and traditions.
User Reviews


Kirk Cameron isn’t “saving Christmas” he’s desecrating it
17 November 2014 | by Sunny Shell – See all my reviews

What’s wrong with this movie? There’s not enough time or space to cover all of it, so I’ll just share the main reasons why anyone who loves Jesus, His Word and His people should or would never watch this mockery of Christmas.
“Saving Christmas” is in direct violation of Romans 14:5-6 and 22-23, twists Scripture, reconstructs history and encourages gluttony.
There’s nothing in this film that is “wholesome” and good for anyone, believer or non-believer.
Let’s save others from Kirk and crew’s version of Christ’s first coming and celebrate (if your conscience allows) with reverence, awestruck wonder and with the true and great joy that envelopes all who are humbled by and grateful for God’s most amazing Gift–Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God.
