Missing Real with Mike D'Arrigo
Great movies take their place in history, but what about all the "turkeys" and disastrous flops littering the vast cinematic cesspool? If you really love movies, then what does it matter if a particular film won eight Oscars or eight Razzies? Sometimes over-the-top hammy acting, laughably choreographed fight sequences and rubber monster FX outdo even the most lavish productions in the Academy Awards echelon. So, whether it's an unsurpassed masterpiece or a piece of something else, every movie I talk about in this podcast is near and dear to my heart. Some you will know well, some you'd be well off never knowing at all, at least until hearing just how enjoyably awful they are, so plug in those earbuds or don your expensive blingy Beats, and let's take a trip to the movies!

Season 4 Episode 9: The Keep
For this episode, I've dug up a forgotten relic: one of director Michael Mann's earliest flicks, a pretty cheesy movie that will in no way remind you of his finer works like Thief, Heat, or even Miami Vice. It's The Keep! No, wait.....

Season 10 Episode 7: Stephen King's The Stand
Adapted from one of those massive old Stephen King books that would cripple you if you dropped it on your foot, The Stand was an ambitious 1994 TV miniseries (no cussin'! These were the "prime time network television" days!) with a big ca...
