Binge-Watchers Podcast

Snowed in, chili on the stove, and toxic romance on the screen. This week on the Binge-Watchers Podcast, Johnny Spoiler dives headfirst into Romeo Is Bleeding (1993), the sleazy neo-noir crime thriller starring Gary Oldman, Lena Olin, and Roy Scheider—a movie where everyone betrays everyone and nobody gets out clean.
Before the blood hits the subway tiles, Johnny rants about hating snow, surviving real-life blizzards, bikini porch dives, and why small victories matter when winter tries to kill you. Then it’s Home Video Headlines, including Dragon Ball Super news, DCU Batman rumors, a possible Darkman sequel, and three essential dead-of-winter thrillers: Wind Chill, The Last Winter, and Dead of Winter.
The main event breaks down Romeo Is Bleeding—a corrupt NYC cop seduced by a ruthless Moscow crime boss—with behind-the-scenes facts, Tom Waits trivia, brutal mob moments, courtroom chaos, and why Lena Olin’s Mona feels like a loaded gun aimed at the audience for the entire runtime. We talk broken ribs, real stunts, moral emptiness, and why this movie insists that redemption is a lie life doesn’t care about.
Johnny wraps it up with favorite bits, a Binge Later rating, unfiltered He-Man discourse, staff picks (Code 3, not The Smashing Machine), and a closing that legally has to reference Closing Time.
If you love neo-noir thrillers, Gary Oldman performances, toxic romance movies, mob betrayals, and dark 90s crime films that feel like they hate you personally—this episode is for you.

Saddle up, time travelers. Johnny Spoiler rides the DeLorean straight into the Old West for a deep-dive review of Back to the Future Part III (1990), the underrated Western finale that closes out one of the greatest trilogies in movie history.
While the world is distracted by football playoffs and Super Bowl conspiracies, Johnny stays locked in on clock towers, steam-powered time trains, and the emotional payoff Hollywood doesn’t make anymore. This episode covers why Back to the Future Part III has aged better than expected, how it shifts the franchise from tech-heavy chaos to character-driven closure, and why Doc Brown quietly becomes the heart of the trilogy.

The Clint Eastwood homages, Monument Valley visuals, and deep-cut cinema references

Johnny Spoiler’s Binge Now / Binge Later / Never verdict on the entire trilogy

Johnny Spoiler goes beyond the Thunderdome with a full breakdown of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)—George Miller’s most divisive Mad Max film and a cornerstone of post-apocalyptic pop culture.
From Tina Turner’s iconic performance and chart-topping theme song to the politics of Bartertown, Master Blaster lore, wasteland world-building, and why this movie feels like Mad Max meets Lord of the Flies, we explore how Beyond Thunderdome reshaped the franchise and influenced everything from Rick and Morty to modern apocalypse storytelling.
We also cover behind-the-scenes trivia, Mel Gibson’s stunts, timeline continuity across the Mad Max trilogy, and why “We Don’t Need Another Hero” became one of the most unforgettable movie songs of the 1980s.
If you love Mad Max, post-apocalyptic movies, 80s sci-fi, cult film deep dives, or movie podcasts that mix humor with film history, this episode is a Binge Now.

Johnny Spoiler dives into Wrath of Daimajin (1966) — the brutal, emotional final entry in the legendary Japanese Daimajin trilogy, where feudal samurai drama collides with full-blown kaiju monster wrath.
Before we get to giant stone gods and sulfur pits, Johnny opens with a cold open on a recurring problem: people keep comparing him to Elvis Presley — usually at the worst possible times, like buying pizza at a gas station. Is it the sideburns? The sunglasses? The curse of compliments from strangers? The comparison stops here.
From there, we hit Home Video Headlines, covering:
Mickey Rourke’s financial struggles and the dark side of fame

Why actors hide in day jobs

Clickbait movie rankings, overrated awards chatter, and why Bonanza still beats Deadwood

Directed by Kazuo Mori, Wrath of Daimajin follows a group of children on a deadly journey to rescue their enslaved fathers from a tyrannical lord forcing villagers to mine sulfur in Hell’s Valley. As blizzards rage and bodies fall, the ancient stone god Daimajin awakens, delivering one of the most haunting monster finales of the 1960s.
We break down:
The film’s Stand By Me–style adventure with demons instead of bullies

Shocking second-act brutality

The evolution of Daimajin from stone idol to flesh-and-blood avenger

Why this sequel might be the best film in the trilogy

Johnny also digs into the movie’s strange U.S. release history, mis-titled home video versions, late English dub, and why this is one of the most overlooked gems in Japanese genre cinema.
Binge Now. Emotional, brutal, beautifully staged, and unforgettable — proof that third entries don’t always fall off.

It’s the Year of the Horse, the Fire Horse, and somehow Johnny Spoiler—a confirmed Water Pig according to the Chinese zodiac—is here to guide you safely through one of the weirdest cult fantasy sequels of the 1990s:
Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time (1991).
This week on the podcast, Johnny Spoiler revisits the movie that turned sword-and-sorcery into a full-on Los Angeles crime comedy, where Marc Singer’s Dar rides through Hollywood in a convertible, an overworked detective just wants to close his cases, and an evil brother is chasing an atomic bomb across dimensions. Yes—this is real. And yes—it somehow works.
We break down why Beastmaster 2 became a cable-TV classic (so overplayed on TBS it earned the nickname “The Beastmaster Station”), why it’s the only truly fun Beastmaster movie, and how its mix of fantasy, comedy, and 90s culture makes it endlessly rewatchable.
Along the way, Johnny Spoiler digs into:
Why the “time portal” is actually a parallel universe

The return of Kodo & Podo (ferret continuity corner)

Why the animals get sidelined in favor of dimension-hopping brother drama

Wings Hauser delivering elite B-movie villain greatness

James Avery (Uncle Phil!) as the exhausted L.A. cop archetype

Sara Douglas (Superman II, Conan the Destroyer) in full dark-fantasy mode

Kari Wuhrer, Sliders, Hellraiser, and peak 90s genre energy

We also hit Home Video Headlines, where Johnny Spoiler rants about the current state of movies, TikTok trailers, Project Hail Mary hype, Dracula with Christoph Waltz, and why modern cinema feels like it needs a shot of rocket fuel to stay relevant.
You’ll also get:
Favorite bits and cable-era nostalgia
