Have You Seen This?

Tim and Jen allow their favorite radio personality Jennifer Miller Hammel to settle her beef with the biggest fan disappointment since The Star Wars Holiday special, The X-Files: I Want to Believe.

Back in 1998, the MST3k crew riffed the first X-Files movie in their 2nd Summer Blockbuster Reviewfor the Sci-Fi Channel (sorry to deadname).

Trace some X-Files history with us by listening to our episodes on The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. and The Night Stalker!

Is that a weed?!

Jen and Tim throw a pool party and invite Charles of the No Homework podcast to talk about the enervating suburban world of The Swimmer!

Here is a representative sample of the “Hi, Guy!” series of Right Guard ads starring Bill Fiore, aka Mr. Hunsacker in The Swimmer. And here’s Jan Miner, aka Mrs. Hunsacker, as Madge the Palmolive lady.

Cheever was indeed only adapted once for the big screen, but there have been a scattering of TV adaptations. This one, The Sorrows of Gin from 1979, stars Sigourney Weaver and Edward Herrmann!

Tim patiently walks Jen through a compilation of philosophies of art, life, and everything: the Cate Blanchett-starring installation film Manifesto.

Manifesto is free with ads on Tubi, but you can also watch each segment at director Julian Rosefeldt’s website.

Jen and Tim enlist Aftermath’s Chris Person to talk about a strange technical footnote in cinema, the moody and trés European fantasy Julia and Julia.

Chris expands on the infuriating quality of IMDb reviews in this piece for Aftermath.

Crave more pioneering and historical HD video? Stop by Reely Interesting on YouTube! There’s something for everybody, especially if you’re the kind of person who gets excited when they hear the word “encoding.”

If you were curious about Morning Patrol, the Greek Philip K. Dick adaptation Chris mentioned, someone has helpfully put it up on YouTube. Also, it’s directed by the same guy who gave us one of our most memorable selections, Singapore Sling!

Jen and Tim receive a remarkable package from returning guest Darren Herczeg, a Breakin’-meets-Porky’s B picture called Delivery Boys!

For whatever reason, Darren confidently named “Scorpion Records” as the company that released the blu-ray of Delivery Boys and we ran with it. As you may have guessed, it’s actually “Scorpion Releasing.” They may or may not still exist, as their Facebook page hasn’t been updated since 2023 and if you try to visit their website your ISP will block it and tell you your personal info is at risk, sooooooooooo

Jacqui Shine wrote an article on Ken Handler and the making of Delivery Boys, which confirms that Ken was known to solicit sexual favors in return for parts in his film. Let’s hope the cast had access to therapy.

The New Beverly website has a blog post by Marc Edward Heuck about Delivery Boys executive producer Chuck Vincent, a prolific B-movie and skin flick maven.
