S13 Ep693: Universal Soldier (Live in Phoenix)

“We’re playing pool with Captain Heart Attack here…” - Eric on this movie’s police captain On this week’s episode, we’re kicking off the 2024 Listener Request Month with a dirty-ass 1970’s-feeling cop movie that came out in 1989, Night Game! Why is Roy Scheider’s character making such a big deal out of this gifted television set? Can that future mother-in-law just take it down a notch or two? Why is that police chief character looking like he’s about to have a heart attack in every scene? Why does this movie focus so much on Roy Scheider’s upcoming wedding? And is this actually a slasher movie? PLUS: Hilarious fuck-ups from famous serial killers!  Night Game stars Roy Scheider, Karen Young, Richard Bradford, Paul Gleason, Carlin Glynn, Anthony Palmer, Alex Morris, Rex Linn, and Lane Smith as Witty; directed by Peter Masterson.  This week’s episode is brought to you in part by Bespoke Post!

Janisse and Chelsea Rebecca, to talk about the completely entertaining, direct-to-video horror sequel, Leprechaun 3! How amazingly does the Leprechaun fit right in when he gets to Las Vegas? How hysterically naive is this Scott fella when playing in the casino? Why does the Big Boss at this casino have his big, fancy, Boss Suite… on the third floor? And why does it take the Leprechaun so long to kill that pawn shop owner? PLUS: Where can we get a copy of this amazing folklore encyclopedia CD-ROM?

“I think the beauty of [this movie], if there is, is that Patrick Stewart gets to act like a child through most of this! - Chris  On this week’s episode, this one’s a long-time coming as we finally chat about the ridiculous Patrick Stewart made-for-Showtime thriller, Safe House! What’s with this abhorrent Pool Man character and the impressions? How hilarious is it that the so-called villain’s name is pronounced like, “Michael Moore”? How many times has Patrick Stewart’s character almost been sued by maids and groundskeepers for all the ‘drills’ he runs around them? And why couldn’t we get a little more Hector Elizondo in this movie? PLUS: John Wayne tries to order lunch at a Wendy’s!  Safe House stars Patrick Stewart, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Hector Elizondo, Joy Kilpatrick, and Craig Shoemaker as Stuart; directed by Eric Steven Stahl.
