Today I want to look at whether twitter serves as a novel kind of knowledge diffusion platform.This podcast is an audio read through of the (initial version of the) article Twitter and the Spread of Academic Knowledge, originally published on New Things Under the...

Almost 10 years to the day of his first go around of the same name, the remake (along with the 1997 original) entered the American cult cinema circles after a decade in art house lore. The brutal message was missed again, now being compared to the likes of SAW and Hostel instead of the take down it truly was.

Goldcrest Film's Revolutionary War epic releases under the radar just in time for awards contention. The powerhouse British film studio were looking to get another best picture award at The Academy.

Moon to Moon94. Witch: Getting Close to the WordI've been wanting to talk about the word Witch for a long time time now. It's a word that is not neutral. This is a word that knows violence. This is a word that knows silencing. This is a word that knows projection. It's a slippery word one that resists description, definition, and even etymology. It belongs to the realm of the unlanguable: to mystery, to intuition, to magic. I wanted to have this conversation in my podcast because it might be safer for folks to get close to it if they don't have to put their...

BOMBED!FREDDY GOT FINGERED (2001) - Moose Humping, Fetus Swinging and the Bizarre, Misunderstood Legacy of Tom GreenApril 18th, 2001. The release of Tom Green's creative dice roll Freddy Got Fingered. A movie so reviled and despised, it still gives a chill to culturally destitute masses everywhere. Tom Green was and still is a polarizing figure in comedy, with his bizarre and crass brand of alternative sketch comedy reaching international cable channels during the last legs of the 1990s. By 2001, the Canadian comedy icon wore out his welcome and Freddy Got Fingered was enough of a boot to kick him out of the main stream.
This week however, the gang sit down...

BOMBED!WIRED (1989) - The Most Disgusting, Hateful Biopic of All TimeAugust 25th, 1989. The release of the film adaptation of Bob Woodward's disgraceful John Belushi biography, "Wired".

That film being the bizarre rock musical Lisztomania, starring Who frontman Roger Daltrey as the legendary composer Franz Liszt. The film too a bit more than lead actor from Tommy too.

The former college football hero turned NFL bust ran to the silver screen after being forced to retire from the gridiron due to injury. Relying on his "Boz" persona, Bosworth seemed like an action star straight out of a test tube. Instead, the wooden plank known as Brian Bosworth had to be carried by legendary character actors, ultraviolent stunt showcases and ... pet Monitor lizards?

Wanting to capture the US hippie movement the same way he captured Swinging London with Blow-Up, Antonioni's Zabriskie Point holds the same vibes Antonioni's known for. However, due to countless chaotic production hiccups and several scheduling setbacks, Zabriskie Point burnt out in the box office upon release. While some despise the "vibes" Zabriskie Point brings to the table, others have considered Antonioni's hate letter to the love generation as a misunderstood classic.

In just 12-16 weekends per year, during high school, he was making an very impressive income selling roasted corn at fairs and festivals. Forrest has continued his entrepreneurial ways and now taken over his father's fudge business and his running both a mobile stand, brick and mortar location and mail order business. I am having Forrest back on the show tomorrow to catch up with him and profile his continued entrepreneurial pursuits. I thought playing his interview from back in 2016 would be a gr...

BOMBED!WILD WILD WEST (1999) - Will Smith in Drag, Coke Fueled Hollywood Producers and Giant Mechanical SpidersJune 30th, 1999. As the summer season drew to a close, Warner Brothers released their western action comedy Wild Wild West. Bringing together the dynamic duo of director Barry Sonnenfeld and 90s megastar Will Smith, Wild Wild West should have been a slam dunk for Warner Brothers. Instead, Wild Wild West is mostly known as a punchline for a Kevin Smith story. What happened here?

BOMBED!THE THING (1982) - Flamethrowers, Blood Tests, Double Pneumonia and Horrifying Critic Reviews (Feat. Matt Larue)June 25th, 1982. John Carpenter's sci-fi horror remake The Thing released in theaters into a crowd of angry, venom filled spectators and critics. Disgusted and reviled by the intense special effects by lead FX artist Rob Bottin, The Thing never gained traction in the box office and leaving defeated after going toe to toe against ET, Poltergeist, Blade Runner and the musical Annie. However, once it reached home video, The Thing earned the cult following and praise it rightfully deserved upon release. Unfortunately by the time of home release, Carpenter was disillusioned by Hollywood and was pushed into "director for...

WWE Studios, an media development department for pro wrestling company WWE, produced and released (through distribution studio Lionsgate) their edgy action feature The Condemned. Starring attitude era megastar Stone Cold Steve Austin and soccer hooligan turned Guy Richie regular Vinnie Jones, The Condemned was set to be a next big action blockbuster of 2007...if it wasn't released in the spring...or was any good. For various reasons, The Condemned failed to land an audience and fall into obscurity, turning into a time capsule of a decade long ago. Now, host Liam Wolfe and stand up comic Daniel Caprio r...

BOMBED!THE BOONDOCK SAINTS pt. 2 - School Shootings, Racist Jokes, Dreadful Movie Contracts and the Wonderful Fall of Troy DuffyJanuary 21st, 2000. The Boondock Saints, after years of strife and chaos, finally gets released to five theaters through a deal between Franchise Pictures, Duffy and Indican Pictures. Burning every bridge possible, Duffy reluctantly signed a dreadful contract for a front side position of the revenue. However, the landscape has changed significantly since Duffy shopped around his bullet riddled action film. While The Boondock Saints entered production, the world was heartbroken by the events behind the Columbine Massacre, making a film about two trench coat wearing spree shooters seem tasteless. Troy Duffy and his passion project was about to enter...

BOMBED!THE BOONDOCK SAINTS: Part 1 - The Ballad of Troy Duffy (Feat. Matt Larue)Los Angeles, 1996. South Boston transplant Troy Duffy witnesses a dead heroin addict leaving his apartment complex on a stretcher. Filled with pure anger, Duffy writes what would end up becoming The Boondock Saints, a bullet riddled action drama about two brothers looking to seek vengeance against the scourge of society. Handing his draft over to a low rung staffer at New Line, the script changed hands between studios and producers. After a grueling bidding war, Harvey Weinstein and Miramax scored the rights to Duffy's draft, granting the first time screenwriter $450,000 and the ability to direct his magnum opus.

Matt is a Clio-winning writer and creative director, and cofounder of a small but acclaimed advertising agency called Kickstand. His work has been covered extensively, and he was once called an "advertising folk hero of sorts" by Adweek. You might recognize his voice from either his side work as a voiceover artist for national brands or from the viral video of him pranking his daughter (Google Mario kart dad prank if you're curious). Matt is a dedicated father to 3 teenagers. And h...

BOMBED!GOTTI (2018) - The Fugazi Tale of The Teflon Don and The Disastrous Production Behind It (Feat. VJ Preziosi)The story of Gambino crime boss and ruthless mobster John Gotti needs no introduction. The Teflon Don's legacy has gone down in the history books as a tale of the "last big name in Mafia history", a true outlaw that got one over the law while committing countless atrocities within the underworld. A movie based on Gotti's life was inevitable, but the notorious 2018 bio-pic wasn't the first time John Gotti's tale made it to celluloid. However, it's insane production history, chaotic casting choices and disastrous release could be just as notorious as the Teflon Don himself.

BOMBED!PUNISHER: WARZONE (2008) - Ultra Gory Gun Battles, Irish Rasta Parkour Gangs, Apple Sauce and the Forgotten MCU Action Film (Feat. Daniel Caprio)December 5th, 2008. Lionsgate Studios released the ultra-violent Marvel Comics adaptation, Punisher: Warzone, into an oversaturated holiday market. Placing the hyper violent tale of Frank Castle and his every growing vengeance-based vigilante pursuit of justice in the whimsical holiday season of December was one of the many bizarre choices from the studio that brought hyper gory horror films Saw and Hostel to light. Released before Marvel had a cinematic stranglehold on movie theaters, Punisher: Warzone was tossed into a sea of Disney family films and future Oscar contenders, never truly standing a chance at catching a crowd.

BOMBED!ZARDOZ (1974): John Boorman's Drug Fueled Post Apocalyptic Science Fiction Dreamscape...I Think? (feat. Kevin Hall)February 6th, 1974. The world was introduced to John Boorman's surreal sci-fi action epic Zardoz. Following a falling out to a United Artist produced Lord of The Rings adaptation, Boorman wrote, produced and directed his own high fantasy inspired science fiction film about a post apocalyptic, "Wizard of Oz"-esk universe of immortal god-like beings encountering a brutal executioner, played by Sean Connery. Off his rocker on psychedelics, Boorman was able to create a dreamlike apocalyptic Earth on the back of a micro-budget of $1.57 million dollars. However, it's confusing narrative and surreal imagery confused critics and audiences alike, pushing people...

BOMBED!BULWORTH (1998) - Ghetto Superstars, Rapping Warren Beatty and a Coked Out Oliver Platt (feat. Seth 'The Wrist' Michael)May 22nd, 1998. Warren Beatty's political dark comedy Bulworth hit the theatrical campaign trail after Beatty's eight year absence from the silver screen. Following the mild disappointment of Dick Tracy, Warren Beatty came back with a biting take on the racial hypocrisy of Clinton era Democrats and the endless empty promises from politicians. While it barely made it's budget back and ended up failing in the box office, Bulworth garnered a cult following from critic and audiences alike. Even 44th President of the United States Barack Obama as admitted to be a fan.

The board game adaptation Clue sleuths its way into theaters with a wild marketing campaign, multiple endings and a star studded cast. Unfortunately, Clue's multiple ending gimmick would confuse audiences, receive middling reviews and ended up suffering in the box office. However, that's not where the mystery lies with Clue. Rather, the mystery of Clue comes from it's lasting legacy as a cult classic comedy.

The Mel Gibson action comedy Payback was released to the public after a bitter dismissal from director Brian Helgeland over the creative direction of his neo-noir feature. Helgeland looked to create a dark, gritty adaptation to the 1962 crime novel, "The Hunter" till the executives at Paramount and WB forced the project to be a silly crime comedy. Retooling a bleak action feature into a dark comedy crime caper didn't really pay off in the long run, but three comics decided to sit down and talk about this feature for almost three hours.

BOMBED!HEAVEN'S GATE (1980, Part 2) : A Five Hour Work Print, Scathing Reviews, The Death Of 'New Hollywood' and The Fall Of Michael Cimino (Feat. Matt Larue and Matthew Komar)April, 1981. Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate was re-released into theaters off the initial disastrous release back in November, 1980. For the last two years, Cimino's western epic had been in the crosshairs of critics and Hollywood executives alike. Seemingly everyone wanted Cimino's head on a pike after Heaven's Gate fell flat upon it's initial November release. In due time, not only will Cimino's career be in free fall but with Heaven's Gate's failure also came another column tumbling down from the 'New Hollywood' era.

Prior to it's release, Heaven's Gate was garnering criticism and scorn from industry insiders, colleagues in the film industry and average Americans alike for the scandalous behind the scenes reports from it's production. Animals getting mauled and killed, 10+ hour work days for every minute of celluloid shot, constant fights and firing on set, interstate prop transportation and exhausting shooting schedules plastered the pages of Variety, LA Times and every news outlet across the United States. Cimino seemingly had production company United Artists by the balls...

Richard Dweck)It's hard to believe it now, but Mike Myers' The Love Guru was supposed to be a return to form for the SNL alumnus. Myers had been busy lending his acting talent to voice the beloved green ogre Shrek before The Love Guru's release, with his last major live action role being the dreadful adaptation of Dr. Seuss's The Cat In The Hat playing the title role. With Wayne's World and Austin Powers far in his rear view, Mike Myers made the effort to attempt a triumphant return to his comedic roots. Upon release on June 20th , 2008, media outlets...

Joaquin Phoenix's surreal "mockumentary" I'm Still Here was released to a completely unprepared crowd not ready for the bizarre trip they're about to witness. Blurring the lines between fiction and reality, the coke filled satire caused more head scratching than praise upon it's release. Fading from the public conscious in the following years, I'm Still Here's lasting legacy has whittled down to the #metoo accusations towards director Casey Affleck and one very awkward David Letterman interview.

Two pop music icons from the present and the past, Cher and Christina Aguilera, co-starred in a musical for the ages. Burlesque entered the box office and was on course to make a significant amount of money...if it wasn't for the stacked competition released at the same time. For those unlucky enough to miss this clash of pop champions, Burlesque attempts to fuse a jukebox musical with a overly dramatic storyline and it succeeds...somewhat.

Cool As Ice, the Vanilla Ice acting vehicle no one wanted, dropped into theaters to almost critical hatred. By the time of release, the oversaturation of Ice's skills (or lack there of) was reaching critical mass, causing a massive backlash to Ice's ascent to stardom. At the same time, Vanilla was dealing with court cases, terrible musical project and one very violent Suge Knight. From an onlooker's perspective, the young MC's time in the limelight was heading straight into a brick wall.

BOMBED!SON OF THE MASK (2005) - A Jamie Kennedy Experiment That Didn't Quite Work Out (Feat. Joseph Kane)February 18, 2005. The day that changed actor, comedian and professional wildcard Jamie Kennedy's career forever. The release of Son of the Mask, the sequel to the 1994 Jim Carry comic book adaptation, was met with a swamp of negativity. Critical reception was rock bottom with critics slamming Kennedy's performance in review after review. Box office returns were worse than anticipated, not even making back it's initial $85-100 million budget. Somehow, the failure of Son's weak script and unfunny CGI hijinks landed on the shoulders of Jamie Kennedy who didn't even want the role in the first place. Stunted by the failing...

An FBI sting operation took place in a small hotel room in Zurich, Switzerland. Nine FIFA officials were arrested and indicted on corruption charges. Just a few weeks later, on June 5th, the FIFA biography United Passions graced ten lucky theaters in the United States. After earning under $169,000 at the box office off of it's $32 million dollar budget, FIFA faced not just box office disaster but legal turmoil. Under the iron fist of Sepp Blatter, the president of FIFA at the time, the soccer organization was as well know for bribery and corruption as it was for...

Paul Verhoeven, director of Total Recall, Robocop and Basic Instinct, releases his sci-fi satire Starship Troopers to the masses. Adapted from Robert Heinlein's 1959 novel of the same name, Verhoeven's Starship Troopers twisted Heinlein's original by turning the jingoistic messaging in the original novel and sent it to it's natural end, a fascist utopia built for endless war exclusively. A 1997 audience didn't get the joke, taking Verhoeven's fascist satire seriously and showed nothing but distain for Starship Troopers. Yet over the years, Starship Troopers grew a significant cult following. Critics who originally demonized the picture were writing op-eds...

A small Canadian BMX production enters the box office race, a race this little film was not ready to take on. While failing initially to qualify for box office success, RAD! grew a cult following from the growing, pre-X Games BMX scene.

BOMBED!GRANDMA'S BOY - Happy Madison's 'Animal House' for Gamers in a Pre-GamerGate World (Feat. Brandon Wunderlich)January 6, 2006. Happy Madison productions releases their gaming stoner comedy 'Grandma's Boy' to a theatrical audience that would rather sit in late 2000s X-Box Live lobbies than go see it in theaters. Failing to earn any spare change in the box office, the crass stoner comedy gained a cult following through VOD and DVD, earning back their budget and then some through DVD sales. While some find 'Grandma's Boy' to be a hilarious romp akin to frat house comedies like 'Animal House' meets 'Clerks' nerdy dialogue, watching the film in 2021 could be considered "insufferable" at best.

BOMBED!CHILDREN OF MEN (2006) - "This is a Professional Podcast." (feat. Chris Park)Christmas Day, 2006. Alfonso Cuaron's dystopian sci-fi thriller 'Children of Men' was released during the most wonderful time of the year. It's bleak look into a future where humans are unable to procreate due to a zero percent fertility rate won critics' favor, ending up in the Oscars race the following year. Considered one of the best films of the 00's, 'Children of Men' initial run couldn't find it's audience, mostly blamed on the nihilistic tones and lack of any real marketing campaign.

Penthouse's pornographic Roman epic Caligula gets released in the United States through indie playhouses and art house spaces. The year prior, Bob Guccione's magnum opus was released in his home country of Italy and was met with shocked viewers and authoritarian action from Italian officials. Caligula toed the line between pure pornography and mildly interesting exploitation, earning it the ire and scorn of law makers worldwide. As soon as Caligula's reels reached US shores, law suits and state bans were thrown at Guccione's feet. Widely considered one of the most extreme, disturbing films released, Caligula had to be...

Sci-Fi satire Mars Attacks! blasts off into theaters, coming as closes as second place in the weekend box office rankings. Tim Burton's dark take on '50s drive-in alien invasion features proved to be a risky venture from Warner Brothers who put in $70 million dollars into the Topps' trading card brand adaptation. Unfortunately, it didn't pay off as the competition from the following week took Mars Attacks! out of the running entirely, with multiple bangers and mixed, confused reviews coming in after it's debut weekend.

Starting pre-production all the way back in the early 1990s, Waterworld would go from a simple $60 million dollar budgeted action film to a nightmare production which shot the budget up to $175 million dollars. That leap in budget price made Waterworld the most expensive movie ever made for the time. The jump in budget comes from the hellish 166 days of shooting which included fights between cast and crew, near fatal stunts and a nasty...

By the early 80s, every studio had rushed out their very own Star Wars-esk franchise starter, only to crash, burn and be forgotten years and decades after their releases. Krull was unfortunately one such attempt, an action adventure pulled straight outta someone's Dungeons and Dragons campaign and onto celluloid. If only Krull didn't release only three weeks after Return of The Jedi, the third and (for the time being) final entry in the Star Wars trilogy (at...

The legendary gross out comedy duo, The Farrelly Brothers worked with animation directors Piet Kroon and Tom Sito to bring the buddy-cop adventures of Ozzy & Drix to the silver screen with...mixed success. While critics adored the animated buddy-cop action comedy, the same critics didn't have a single nice word to give to The Farrelly Brother's snot and vomit ridden wrap around talk of Bill Murray's deadbeat dad and his unhealthy life choices. With a budget of $70 million, Osmosis Jones grossed a dreadful $14 million, ending up in critical condition at...

Clockers pulls no punches with it's depiction of police brutality, the effects of crack in inner city neighborhoods and the harsh realities of street life for black youths in the United States. Dropping on September 15th, 1995, Clockers got buried under steep competition and ended up as lines of chalk on the side of the road.
