Missing Real with Mike D'Arrigo
by 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 12 Episode 2: Streets of Fire
Imagine the hit musical Grease, except that everyone dropped out of Rydell High School and became biker gangs or losers. Now reduce the number of catchy, memorable hit songs for your drunken karaoke fests and set it entirely at night in a crime-infested city with not a trace of Batman. Sounds…

S12 E1: Firestarter
The year was 1984, and while Big Brother may have been watching you, in his spare time he might have also watched this excellent movie adapted from a Stephen King novel, starring a cute 8-year-old Drew Barrymore. No ordinary kid, of course. She's got the pyrokinesis thing going, so any time she...

Season 5 Episode 6: Event Horizon
Know what an event horizon is? Hint: it is NOT a sunset at a destination wedding. As far as I know, it's some fancy science slang for a thing black holes do. In this case, it's a lost space vessel and the doomed mission to recover it. This 1997 movie, starring Laurence Fishburne (Morpheus!) and…

Missing Real S3 E10: Star Trek - Classic Crew
Sound...the final frontier. Because, really, once you've heard this podcast, what more is there to experience? In this galaxy-spanning comedy supernova, we will explore the classic Kirk/Spock/McCoy era of the Star Trek movies, spanning over a decade of cinema in just under an hour. Relive all…

Season 11 Episode 10: The Hobbit
Long movies with short characters. We must be back in Middle Earth again! After 8 years, Peter Jackson brought more Tolkien tales to the big screen and another epic trilogy arrived. These Hobbit adventures were almost as awesome at the previous Lord of the Rings movies, and some of our old…

Season 11 Episode 9: Invasion of the Body Snatchers
The title of this classic sci-fi thriller might be a bit misleading. It's not about kidnappers or grave robbers. Get this: strange plants from space land on Earth and begin copy-pasting humans! That means there are two YOUs! Only the original you doesn't get to survive! The duplicate you isn't...

Season 11 Episode 8: Seven (Se7en)
This 1995 serial killer thriller never gets old. Moody, dark, menacing...and intelligent! You could learn a lot from it, including how to count. David Fincher's gruesome masterpiece takes two detectives (Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt) and pits them against a creep who commits a series of murders...

Season 11 Episode 7: Lifeforce
Movie buffs everywhere should remember the great Tobe Hooper, who terrified audiences everywhere from Texas to Salem's Lot. Even a television set became spooky if it wasn't tuned into a channel. This underappreciated 1985 flick I'm talking about this time features some more vampires, but they…
