In the coming months we'll be revisiting the various iterations of Cape Fear, as well as some of its impact on pop culture, as well as a full review of the new Apple TV miniseries.

In 1962 theatrical audiences were hit with a tour-de-force adaptation of John D. MacDonald's novel The Executioners. Starring Gregory Peck, Polly Bergen, and a diabolical Robert Mitchum, the film presented a human incarnation of the devil known as Max Cady.

While the film underperformed, its legacy is undeniable; having spawned two remakes - a film and a miniseries - and numerous pop culture homages and references.

Listen in as Dave and Mike Gordon discuss this landmark film and its impact!

The film is a live-action adventure movie based on Mattel’s classic 80’s toy brand. Masters of the Universe stars Nicholas Galitzine, Camila Mendes, Alison Brie, James Purefoy, Morena Baccarin, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Charlotte Riley, featuring Kristen Wiig as the voice of “Roboto” with Jared Leto and Idris Elba.

In Masters of the Universe, Director Travis Knight brings the legendary franchise back to the big screen in this epic live-action adventure. After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine) back to Eternia where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor (Jared Leto). To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela (Camila Mendes) and Duncan/Man-At-Arms (Idris Elba), and embrace his true destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the universe. The screenplay is by Chris Butler and Aaron Nee & Adam Nee & Dave Callaham. The story is by Aaron Nee & Adam Nee and Alex Litvak & Michael Finch. Based on Masters of the Universe by Mattel. It is produced by Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Robbie Brenner, and DeVon Franklin. Ynon Kreiz, Bill Bannerman, and David Bloomfield serve as executive producers.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has given us what we always wanted – a connected universe of characters with stakes and stories that extend beyond individual movies. A series with a singular guiding vision that we can invest in and trust.

But surely other film series – or franchises as they’re now known – have had some dedication to continuity?

On this episode of the Needless Things Podcast Dave discusses consistency within film franchises with the award-winning Bobby Nash and the EDO Network’s Mike Gordon!

Ryan’s pick was supposed to happen back in April, but then the world fell apart. The good news is that with all due precautions the show is able to record Commentaries again.

Plus, this week brings a HUGE announcement about a future Needless Things project!

Mike Gordon returns to the Needless Things Podcast to discuss the world’s most famous secret agent! Which seems… counterproductive.

This conversation hits on various facets of the superspy franchise – the movies, the toys, the books, and more. Bond has spawned a multitude of different merchandising pursuits, but perhaps not as many as you'd expect!

Listen is as Mike and Dave determine which Bond movie title is the greatest:

The Man with the Gordon Gun

Tomorrow Never Gordons

The Gordon Who Loved Me

GordonEye

A View to A Gordon

Gordonfinger

Gordons Are Forever

Gordon of Solace

Gordonpussy

Or even the renegade production

But not just Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman – the legendary toy company dug deep into the rich history of DC and released everyone from the Metal Men to B’wana Beast!

For over fifty years filmmakers have been mining the rich history of DC Comics for inspiration, ideas, and adaptations. From Batman to John Constantine, many of DC’s best-known characters have appeared in one – or many – forms on the Silver Screen.

Opinions range far and wide on the quality of these live action portrayals, but there’s no denying their success and cultural impact over the years.

Live from the Cabana of Unrelenting Despair – Dave, Arian, and Mike Gordon discuss the current American pro wrestling scene!

AEW vs ROH vs NWA vs NXT vs WWE isn’t really a realistic competitive scenario, but in the hearts and minds of wrestling fans those are the terms of fandom.

This means that we’re living in one of the very best eras to be a wrestling fan because there’s something for everyone.

It’s January, which means it’s time for a fresh new year and a look at another Patrick Swayze film!

The looming threat of Communism was ever-present in 1984. Back then Americans didn’t go a day without thinking about the menace of the Soviet Union and the possibility of World War III breaking out literally at any minute. It was a time of great paranoia and greater patriotism. “America the Free” seemed like a powerful yet fragile concept that could be tested to the breaking point by our enemies across the ocean without warning.

Master filmmaker John Milius zeroed in on this national temperament with the classic action/drama Red Dawn. The Movie stars Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey, Powers Boothe, Harry Dean Stanton, and Charlie Sheen in his first role.

Fans have been hearing about the possibility of live action Star Wars television shows for decades. In November of 2019, as part of the launch of Disney’s new streaming service, we finally got one. While not on a network or even cable, The Mandalorian, is a weekly episodic series that eschews the saga of the Skywalkers and examines life in a galaxy far, far away from a different perspective.

Listen in as Dave and the Execute Chapter 66 crew (minus Beth, who was recovering from a fight with a mudhorn) discuss the premiere season of The Mandalorian on the newest episode of the Needless Things Podcast!

I Ya Toyah is a Chicago-based DIY one woman army of Polish descent that blends chaos and balance with the familiar vibe of industrial electronica sound. Her music melds smooth, cutting edge vocals, surreal guitars, hypnotizing beats, and multiple electronic synth elements into dark arrangements that, combined with storytelling lyrics, respond to the paranoia of everyday reality.

Recorded LIVE in the Bungalow of Eternal Sorrows, the Needless Things Irregulars gathered to review the final installment of the Skywalker Saga!

Beginning in 1999 with young Anakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace, continuing in 1977’s Star Wars, and now ending in 2019 with Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, the Saga has been a long, uneven journey. Writer Chris Terrio and writer/director JJ Abrams had a difficult task ahead of them in resolving forty-two years of storytelling from many different creators. Did they succeed or will we be looking at 1983’s Return of the Jedi as the true conclusion of this tale?

Dave and Head of Research Ryan Schweck dive into everything that’s happened in the world of Star Wars toys since Triple Force Friday, as well as sharing some thoughts on The Mandalorian!

October 4th, 2019 was the launch date for the newest barrage of Star Wars merchandise, only this time Disney was tying their products into not just one, not two, but three new media projects.

The first, obviously, was December 20th’s Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. This is the latest cinematic Star Wars release and the conclusion of the so-called “Skywalker Saga” that began with Star Wars in 1977.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a new video game from publisher Electronic Arts. It was released on November 15th, 2019 and so far has seen a positive reception.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, after decades of speculation and false starts, the first-ever live action Star Wars show debuted on the Disney+ streaming service on November 12th.

Each of these landmarks in the era of Disney Star Wars has waves of merchandise currently available. Starting with the main rollout in October and followed by seemingly weekly additions by way of exclusives and new reveals, Hasbro, Funko, and many other manufacturers have flooded the market with new and exciting products.

PLUS! A very special Christmas memory from Dave's Mom!

On this week’s episode, Dave welcomes horror aficionado and host of the Seeking Human Victims podcast, Reverend Dan Wilson!

Dan returns to the show to discuss a very special topic – Jason Voorhees! More specifically, toys and action figures that have been based on Jason over the years. As one of the most toyetic slashers in film history thanks to his large stature and immediately recognizable hockey mask, Jason has been adapted in plastic many times over the years.

Listen in as Dave and the Rev look back through history at all of the tiny – and some not-so-tiny – Jasons that have stalked our shelves!

Part of an ongoing series – the Needless Things Irregulars gather in the Phantom Zone to provide their own unique commentary on classic genre films!

It’s the spooky season, so a Halloween movie was a must, and while there are plenty of movies called Halloween… there are also a bunch called Trick or Treat, apparently. But this one features Rock’s Chosen Warrior, Sammi Curr!

Also starring Gene Simmons, Ozzy Osbourne, and Marc Price (Skippy from Family Ties), this film follows outcast metalhead Eddie Weinbauer – aka Ragman for… some reason – as he learns about life, love, and not letting an evil heavy metal icon who has been resurrected through the power of backmasking electrocute his friends.

Special guests Dan Kelly and Evil Jim join the Commentary Team for the legendary 1981 animated feature Heavy Metal!

A truly magnificent feat of genre storytelling, Heavy Metal features the talents of John Candy, Joe Flaherty, Rodger Bumpass, Eugene Levy, Harold Ramis, Marilyn Lightstone, and dozens more providing voices for some of the most striking and innovative animation of the era. A phenomenal team of artists brought life to stories from Dan O'Bannon, Richard Corben, Bernie Wrightson and more; all set to a driving soundtrack that deserves its own paragraph:

As if the animation and voice acting weren't accomplishment enough, the filmmakers compiled an amazing selection of pure rock to accompany the visuals – Sammy Hagar, Devo, Blue Öyster Cult, Cheap Trick, Black Sabbath, and Grand Funk Railroad are just a few of the bands that contributed to the aural power of the film, while the incredible Elmer Bernstein provided the score!

Listen in as Jim, Dan, and the entire team sell their souls for rock n' roll in this month’s Needless Commentary!

This special episode of the Needless Things Podcast was recorded LIVE at Atlanta Comic Con 2019!

Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman changed Hollywood forever. The merchandising and marketing were unlike anything that the world had seen before, with Warner Bros. pushing the movie so strongly that it almost had to be a success.

And it certainly was.

While the movie itself merits hours of conversation, Needless Things Irregulars Dave West, Ryan Cadaver, Nicole Ghouled-Cadaver, and Chad J. Shonk presented this panel to a live Atlanta Comic Con audience to take a focused look at the cultural phenomenon surrounding the movie’s release.

From the shirts, toys, trading cards, stationary, and pool toys to the endless periodicals detailing every aspect of the film’s production, the team shares their fondest memories of that singular point in time.

Listen in as the Irregulars and members of the LIVE audience reflect on The Summer of the Bat on the newest episode of the Needless Things Podcast!

Part of an ongoing series – the Needless Things Irregulars gather in the Phantom Zone to provide their own unique commentary on classic genre films!

After a thrilling NTP Facebook poll, the Crystal Lake Killer Jason Voorhees defeated the Prince of Polka “Weird Al” Yankovic when a tied vote led to a Mrs. Troublemaker run-in, resulting in Friday the 13th Part VIII taking the July Needless Commentary crown!

Released on July 28th, 1989, Jason Takes Manhattan was the highest budgeted Friday the 13th movie to date. Those extra dollars didn’t help because it also yielded the poorest box office. Taking the masked killer out of his natural environment was an inspired and interesting decision, but it would take a strong story with a commitment to quality to pull it off.

Listen in as Dave, Arian, Ryan, and Nicole discuss the commitment to quality and the strength of the story in this month’s Needless Commentary!

The dynamite team of Dave West, Beth V, Rad Ranger, and Chris DePetrillo reunite to look thirty years into the past!

1989 was a remarkable year for pop culture, most notably thanks to the Summer of the Bat! But that conversation will happen at another Bat-time in another Bat-venue. In this episode we’re looking at everything in 1989 other than Tim Burton’s film phenomenon.

As part of an annual tradition, Dave gathered some of the Needless Things Irregulars to reflect on the pop culture that made us who we are today. From Zack Morris to Joan Collins to Mike Patton, this week’s episode travels back to a time when things were far more awesome!

Listen in as Beth, Dave, Sean, and Chris discuss their favorite – and not-so-favorite – pop culture from 1989!

What better way to kick off another Needless Summer than with a trip to the ocean with Steve Zissou?

This month’s Commentary was chosen by Ryan Cadaver, but is mutually adored throughout the team. Bill Murray leads one of the most remarkable casts ever assembled in what might be Wes Anderson’s most mainstream and watchable film. While the trademark unique, quirky style is present in abundance, The Life Aquatic’s narrative is fast-paced and perhaps more of a standard cinematic storytelling experience than any other Anderson film.

In the first part of the Phantom Music series Dave talks about the beginnings of his passion for music.

MTV and the proliferation of cassette tapes changed not only how people listened to music, but where and when.

Hasbro – one of the most prolific toy companies in the business – blew minds when it announced an all-new experiment called HasLab at Toy Fair 2018. It was to be a place where Hasbro could communicate and solicit funds directly from customers and deliver very special products that would be impossible to market through normal retail.

The first announced project was one of the most ambitious toys ever produced – Jabba the Hutt’s sail barge, The Khetanna from Return of the Jedi. Hasbro immediately revealed an unprecedented amount of detail, for an as-yet unproduced toy and soon after opened preorders.

The hefty $500 price tag (which included shipping) was intimidating to some, but for stalwart collectors who had forty years of Star Wars toys on their shelves, it was impossible to imagine a collection that didn’t include this monolithic vehicle/playset.

One year later the true believers who invested in this dream have The Khetanna in their homes. Was it worth it?

It’s Lady’s Night in the Phantom Zone! For this month’s selection Nicole Ghouled picked the legendary gross-out flick Dead Alive!

As many older horror fans’ first experience with Oscar-winning director Peter Jackson, Dead Alive sets a very different tone for his career than King Kong or Lord of the Rings. Chock full of innovation and complimented by brilliant yet classic storytelling, this New Zealand gorefest displayed Jackson’s ingenuity and creative spirit.

The Rad Ranger stops by the Needless Things Podcast to talk about one of the longest-lived 80s toy lines – Hasbro's Transformers!

Originating in the early 80s with the standard toy/cartoon/comic book licensing combo, Transformers changed toys as we knew them. Robots that transformed into cars, jets, guns, and more were an ideal concept for the kids of the era. An amalgamation of several different Japanese toy lines, America's Transformers line saw instant success.

That success has lasted right up through today, with countless animated shows, live action movies, comic books, and iterations of the original toy line. Even now a brand new line is in stores – Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege is bringing the sensibilities of the original franchise toy toys that take advantage of every modern innovation.

Dave, Ryan Cadaver, and Nicole Ghouled caught an early sneak preview of Robert Rodriguez' adaptation of the classic manga, Battle Angel Alita this past Monday. All three were so enthralled by and impressed with the movie that they had to get together to discuss it for this week's episode of the Needless Things Podcast!

Starting with the manga in 1990 and then the animated adaptation in 1993, the story of this warrior has been inspiring fans for decades. Battle Angel draws from many classic genre styles while retaining a unique voice and style of its own. Those same inspired fans have been curious about a live action adaptation, and when James Cameron announced his intention to create one, things seemed promising.

The production process, however, was a long one. This left many doubting the project would ever truly see the light of day. But then the pieces starting coming together, with the unparalleled Robert Rodriguez as director, Rosa Salazar as the titular cyborg, and perhaps most impressively, Cristoph Waltz as Dr. Ido.

With such a promising team assembled, the ambitious film was a go and is now ready to be unleashed upon the world to inspire a whole new generation!

Listen in as Dave, Ryan, and Nicole break down this compelling cyberpunk fairytale!

Watching WWE's Royal Rumble this Sunday? Here are the rules for the Official Phantom Zone Royal Rumble Game!:

*Number 30 ping pong balls 1-30. Trust me – drawing actual balls instead of just picking numbers adds SO MUCH fun!

*Each player draws numbers until they're all gone. If everyone doesn't have the same number, points can be altered to even the odds.

*Each player will need a way to keep track of their points. You earn points through the actions of each Superstar that entered at whichever numbers you drew.

*1 point for each elimination. If multiple Superstars assist in a single elimination, they each get a point. Don't worry – it's fair and easier than using fractions.

*2 points for each of the final four Superstars left in the Rumble

*5 points for the winner of the Rumble

*If you're the host, remember to have fabulous prizes for the contestants!

Ryan Cadaver stops by the Phantom Zone to discuss the newest entry into whatever the heck Warner Bros. is doing with their DC Comics properties this week!

We all know that Dave and Ryan look upon the DC Extended Universe a bit more favorably than most. While its had its ups and downs, overall it has still produced the most epic DC Comics movies of all time.

While Wonder Woman was a course correction, Aquaman appeared to be a wild, swerving right-angle turn away from dark grittiness and into big, colorful fun. Nobody could be sure how well the film would succeed, but with director James Wan's vision and star Jason Momoa's pecs, it was bound to be something very different.

Listen in as Dave and Ryan run down the new film and determine if, how, and why it's better than the rest!

In an almost Santa Claus-like manner, our friend Chad J. Shonk swooped in to save the holidays with some Star Wars magic in the form of Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure!

In 1984, George Lucas wanted some of that sweet, sweet television revenue but was still smarting from the hideous embarrassment of the Star Wars Holiday Special. So he took the reins himself and oversaw production on an all-new adventure featuring the inhabitants of Endor’s moon.

That’s right – we here at Needless Things can’t go a Christmas season without some good, old-fashioned Star Wars action, so it’s time to sit down and snuggle with the Galaxy’s most lovable little cannibals, the Ewoks!

Released in 1987 and depicting an unspecified dystopian future, RoboCop is a violent, funny, action-packed flick with a little something for everyone. Director Paul Verhoeven and writer Edward Nuemeier take a cynical look at America and all of the things we love so much about her.
