OverhatedEpisode #146: Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992)Very few filmmakers have been able to deliver a "quality streak" of movies like John Carpenter did throughout the 1970s and '80s. Some of the movies made money, some did not; but all of them seem to hold a special place in the hearts of countless movie nerds. (Check the episode for evidence of this epic streak.) But then John Carpenter signed on to make a movie with Chevy Chase, and this movie was the result. Big thanks to regular guest and awards guru Andrew Carden for picking this one.

OverhatedEpisode #141: The Fan (1981)The "aging star slasher flick" had a brief run in the early '80s,, while producers were still figuring out what a slasher movie actually was. Here is one such example: a very basic stalker tale with a surprisingly impressive ensemble cast. Not a huge fan of this one, if I'm being honest, so it's a good thing returning guest Andrew Carden (@awardsconnect) is. Thanks for listening to Overhated!

OverhatedEpisode #130: Haunted Honeymoon (1986)The wonderful, hilarious Gene Wilder will always be remembered for his work in Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Stir Crazy, and Willy Wonka -- among others, of course -- but the lovable clown also had his fair share of creative misfires. His final effort as director is, depending on who you ask, one such misfire. But it's still a rather difficult movie to dislike, especially if you love (very) old horror movies. Big thanks to my guest Andrew Carden (@AwardsConnect) for suggesting this one! Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more episodes at patreon.com/scottEweinberg. Subscribe to he...

Pushback with Aaron MateBiden, Putin restore talks as DC hawks promote New Cold WarAt the Geneva summit, President Biden of the US and President Putin of Russia announced the restoration of their ambassadors and agreed to new talks on vital issues. Meanwhile in Washington and major US media outlets, Russiagate-addled hawks promoted increased confrontation. James Carden analyzes the talks and the bellicose US media response.
"US media outlets seem to be egging biden on to take a harder line than than the President wanted to," Carden says. "It's a product of the last several years of Russiagate hysteria. But it also shows who make up the American press really don't know that much...
