For this episode we dive headfirst into the chaotic production of Albert Pyun;s "Ticker," a film that somehow assembled a cast including Steven Seagal, Tom Sizemore, and Dennis Hopper, and still ended up feeling like it was stitched together in a rush job at 3 a.m. This straight-to-video action thriller became a perfect storm of clashing egos, questionable creative decisions, and a production that seemed to be making it up as it went along.

From baffling editing choices to performances that range from half-asleep to are they in the same movie” (because they actually aren't), we break down how it became a prime example of early-2000s action cinema gone wrong. Was there ever a solid movie buried under the chaos, or was this thing doomed from the moment the cameras started rolling? Tune in as we sift through the rubble of explosions, mismatched tones, and one of the strangest career entries in Seagal’s filmography.

After a little down time, the crew is back in the saddle for the new year, and we’re starting off with the Wild West antihero adaptation that barely made it to the gallows before the critics lined up to take their shots, 2010's "Jonah Hex."

Directed by Jimmy Hayward and starring Josh Brolin, Megan Fox and John Malkovich, Jonah Hex seemed to have all the makings of a gritty, supernatural western. At least on paper. So what went wrong? Studio interference? A rushed production? A movie that feels like it’s missing a reel or two? Or was it doomed the moment it left the comic page for the big screen?

In our first episode back together, and the official launch of Season 3, we dig into the behind-the-scenes turmoil, the tonal confusion, the 80-minute runtime that feels both too short and somehow too long, and whether there’s a version of this film that could've really worked.

In our season opener, we're starting things off a little different by revisiting our obsession with physical media, and discussing Arrow Video's release of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trilogy," and the long-awaited 4K (re)-release of Kevin Smith's "Dogma." Along the way, we get into the state of physical media in 2026, what makes a release worth double-dipping, and why owning a movie hits differently than streaming it... It’s part show-and-tell, part therapy session, and the perfect way to launch a brand-new season.
