The documentary SHARKSPLOITATION (2023) has been released on Blu-ray entertainment-factor.blogspot.com/2025/08/shar... #bluray #sharksploitation #sharks #documentary #shudder @shudder.com @stephenscarlata.bsky.social

The summer’s most unhinged big-screen experience is upon us. Check out Jimmy and Stiggs in theaters this weekend.

This week we start unpacking the infamous SUPERMAN LIVES phase of development, starting with CLERKS director Kevin Smith's time at bat. We’re aided by super friends of the pod screenwriter @patcasey.bsky.social (Sonic the Hedgehog) and comedian @edgreerdestroys.bsky.social (The Greatest Pod).

Was great talking with @stephenscarlata.bsky.social and @filmumentaries.bsky.social about RETURN OF THE JEDI on the latest Projection Booth #Podcast www.projectionboothpodcast.com/2025/07/epis...

That time when the Fantastic Four went to Denny's.

SHARKSPLOITATION blu ray in the flesh - the head, the tail, the whole damn thing @vinegarsyndro.me

CONAN THE BARBARIAN Written by L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter

New episode! This week the team finishes tackling SUPERMAN REBORN, the first attempt to rekindle the Superman franchise in the 1990s. Our super friends screenwriter @patcasey.bsky.social (Sonic the Hedgehog) and comedian @edgreerdestroys.bsky.social (The Greatest Pod) continue the journey with us!

Severin Films was kind enough to invite me, @joshmillerlite.bsky.social, and @mercermatt.bsky.social to record a commentary track for the insane Monster Shark!

Just give me John Sayles’ original Jurassic Park 4 script, the one where hybrid dinosaurs are strapped with machine guns and sent on mercenary missions.

My pal @stephenscarlata.bsky.social & @joshmillerlite.bsky.social's cool doc SHARKSPLOITATION is now up for order over at VS! With a commentary by the two gents themselves and more! Listen to their show @nevermadefilm.bsky.social if you aren't already! vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/...

The chum is in the water shark fans! @stephenscarlata.bsky.social and my documentary SHARKSPLOITATION is finally hitting blu ray with a bunch of extras! @vinsyn.bsky.social

Deleted scene from Superman IV where Superman battles Lex Luthor’s first failed creation, Nuclear Man 1. This was cut after a poorly-received test screening.

My picks of the 21st Century for the New York Times poll

As June wraps up, I gotta say we were blessed with two phenomenal action films. Scott Adkins absolutely delivers an onslaught of cinematic kicks in DIABLO, and Ana de Armas stuns with some breathtaking action choreography in BALLERINA. Easily two of my favorites films this year!

New episode! This week we finish author Mario Puzo's epic script and also discuss producer Ilya Salkind's wild treatment for a possible SUPERMAN III. We're aided by our super friends screenwriter @patcasey.bsky.social (Sonic the Hedgehog) and comedian @edgreerdestroys.bsky.social (The Greatest Pod).

Already watched JAWS to celebrate its 50th anniversary but still want more? If you have @shudder.com check out @stephenscarlata.bsky.social and my documentary SHARKSPLOITATION.

Remember when Jaws took over pop culture after its release? Celebrate the 50th anniversary by diving into Sharksploitation, now streaming on Shudder!

With the 50th anniversary of Jaws upon us, there’s no better time to revisit our “Jaws 3, People 0” episode.

Saw this on Peacock and it made me wish there really were 50 Jaws sequels, because I’d probably love every single one.

Loved Dangerous Animals, so dope to see a shark film on the big screen again. Jai Courtney eats up every scene he’s in with a knife and fork!

Our documentary Sharksploitation just made #11 on Slashfilm’s 15 Best Shark Movies list! www.slashfilm.com/1798035/best...

New episode! This week we journey into the wreckage of Krypton to explore the history of unmade SUPERMAN movies-starting with Mario Puzo’s draft. We're aided by our super friends screenwriter @patcasey.bsky.social‬ (Sonic the Hedgehog) and comedian @edgreerdestroys.bsky.social (The Greatest Pod)!

As Sean Byrne’s Dangerous Animals reframes the shark thriller for a new era, Jenni Kaye charts a course through the wild waters of the genre’s past—with twenty films to sink your teeth into. boxd.it/2zq

Takashi Miike has 120 directing credits on IMDb. Lumberjack the Monster is on Netflix and it’s dope, barely anyone cared when it dropped! It’s wild seeing people complain now when most haven’t even scratched the surface of his work. The man’s an auteur. Let him do his thing!

A scene from the never-aired Darkman TV pilot.

Excellent time recording the commentary for an upcoming release of Monster Shark (1984) aka Devil Fish this evening. What a wild flick. With the Sharksploitation team of @joshmillerlite.bsky.social @stephenscarlata.bsky.social

SORCERER Written by John Minahan

New episode! This week, we’re joined by actor/filmmaker @joshruben.bsky.social (Heart Eyes) to pull the mask off his attempt to resurrect the DARKMAN franchise.

I look forward to @stephenscarlata.bsky.social and @joshmillerlite.bsky.social doing a podcast episode about this project one day. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Big news for Channel 83 this morning. Jimmy and Stiggs going wide theatrical this summer.

Congrats to @elrickane.bsky.social @mercermatt.bsky.social & @rebekahmckendry.bsky.social The Dead Thing is both haunting and atmospheric look at dating in L.A. If you're a listener of the Pure Cinema Podcast, you'll know that director Elric Kane made a signature "Elric Kane" movie.

HEAVY METAL (1981)

One of the best performances I’ve seen all year—right up there with Demi Moore! Absolutely phenomenal.

This filmmaker and this movie changed my life. Rest in peace, David Lynch. Your body of work will continue to be studied, celebrated, and loved forever.

Not a bad duo!

Kraven the Hunter feels like a comic book movie made by Nu Image/Millennium Films in the early 2000s— which isn’t a bad thing for me. I dug it.

New episode! This week, we continue our journey into CRUSADE, the unmade mega-budget epic that would have brought together Arnold Schwarzenegger and director Paul Verhoeven. Joining us once again is Empire magazine editor and author @nickdesemlyen.bsky.social (The Last Action Heroes).

Yeah, I’m gonna watch this!

This week we accept the holy mission to journey into CRUSADE, what would have been Arnold Schwarzenegger and director Paul Verhoeven's mega-budget epic set during the Christian Crusades. We are joined by Empire magazine editor and author @nickdesemlyen.bsky.social (The Last Action Heroes)

What are four Christmas movies to know you by? #filmsky
