Sometimes the Steal My Name podcast is a well oiled, laser focused machine. I know exactly what I want to say about a flick and how to go about it. Other times, the reaction I have to a film is so confusing, the show becomes more of a therapy session. For episode 74 of the Steal My Name podcast, it’s the latter. Steven Spielberg’s Hook has should have been an easy episode to knock out, but it sent me for a whirl. What happens when our relationship with a movie changes? How do we process the emotional turmoil that comes along with that? Tune in and find out! Star Trek Deep Space Nine brings the Dominion back into focus with Season 4, episode 4, Hippocratic Oath. Bashir and O’Brien’s friendship is tested when a group of Jem’hadar force them to try and help them get clean from ketracel white.

Anyone else getting a little tired of tribute episodes? Whatever your answer may be, we’re doing another one. Fun, right? With the passing of the incomparable Tim Curry, there was no better time to revisit a film with one of his most impactful performances, 1985’s Legend. While episode 73 of the Steal My Name Podcast started out as a look at the theatrical cut that we all grew up with, the directors cut knocked me for a very unexpected loop when watching both versions back to back. So now we’re talking about theatrical Vs directors cut, it’s a celluloid rumble for the ages!!. How does a very traditional filmic fairytale turn into a near art-house, gothy masterpiece? Tune in and find out. I’ll give you a hint, Tim Curry in an insanely impressive full-body demon makeup plays a huge part. After the two-part banger that kicked off season 4, Deep Space Nine pumps the breaks for Season 4, episode 2, The Visitor. While the action may have been left at the doorstep, the emotional impact is dialled up to eleven as we follow an alternate future version of Jake Sisko as he gives up everything to try and rescue his father from a subspace oblivion.

“All that was unknown will be known to you once more.” Horror has lost some heavy weights this year with the passing of Reggie Bannister and Chuck Russell. For episode 72 of the Steal My Name Podcast, we’re celebrating the middle age ex ice cream vendor himself with Phantasm 3: Lord of the Dead and the steady hand behind what is arguable the best outing for Freddy with A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. On top of some serious gushing (as a die-hard Phantasm fan, things will get very gushy) we’ll discuss how sequels go about their world building and how that can shape the future of a franchise. Season 4 of Star Trek Deep Space Nine goes all in with the two-part Way of the Warrior. Dominion shenanigans and a coup on Cardassia give the Klingon’s the bright idea to invade everyone’s least favourite Alpha Quadrant neighbour.

Don’t touch that dial!! It’s books and movies this week with another round of Good Movie, Bad Adaptation. On the chopping block for episode 71 of the Steal My Name Podcast is Richard Bachman’s (Stephen King, for those not in the know) 1982 dystopian gut-punch, The Running Man. It’s mean, gritty, delightfully downbeat and not even remotely fit to be an Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle. Join your host as he battles his way through Arnie tropes, chainsaw wielding hunters, and all the corny one-liners you can handle as we dive into whether a movie can butcher an adaptation but still rock. Oh, we’ll also look at Edgar Wright’s version of the flick (he says with greatly feigned enthusiasm). Star Trek Deep Space Nine season 3 comes to a close with episode 26, The Adversary. It’s an absolute banger of a season ender as the crew races again time to track down a changeling saboteur that is hiding on board the Defiant. Seriously, it’s awesome.

Stop me if you’ve heard one of these one lately; horror is finally smart, these are elevated horror movies, thinking mans horror. Sound familiar? Sound really dumb? You bet!

After 80 plus years of storytelling, we all have a different idea of what a Batman movie should be. Are you a fan of the video games? Do you live and die for Frank Millers take on the character? Are you ride or die for the animated series? For episode 65 of the Steal My Name podcast, we’re diving into what may be the most comic accurate (The New 52 run of comics to be exact) Dark Knight we’ve had yet. Matt Reeves The Batman (2022) came out at a time when DC movies on the big screen were in a state of total disarray, so many folks may have overlooked it. But if you give a chance, the rain soaked streets of Gotham have a lot to offer. Deep Space Nine, season 3, episode 20, Improbable Cause, hits hard right out the gate and washes away some of the Mirror Universe stank from last week. Garak steps into the limelight and teams up with Odo to solve a mystery that gets grander and more perilous at every turn. And it’s an unexpected two-parter!

Once upon a time people weren’t mad at the MCU. Crazy right? What better way to celebrate a holiday about a person rising from the grave than to look back on of the great heroes to ever take a nap and then jump up ready to kick ass. That’s right, for episode 64 of the Steal My Name Podcast we’re picking up the shield and charging into battle with, what may be, the best MCU film, Captain America: The Winter Soldier. From the 70’s political thriller vibe, to the ever increasing interconnectivity, to the sheer badassness that is the super soldier himself finally getting to kick some serious ass. It’s a classic from start to finish. Deep Space Nine, season 3, episode 19, Through the Looking Glass, takes us back into the mirror universe and the results are… mixed. The mirror universe storyline was never one that hooked me but there are some fun moments to be had. Keep an eye out for a familiar face from Star Trek: Voyager!

With the passing of Val Kilmer, we lost a true legend of the silver screen. Whether he was Batman, Iceman, Mad Martigan, or teaching us how to steal a scene in this weeks film, his presence on screen is one that will never be forgotten. To celebrate his legacy, we’re looking at one of the great westerns of the last 30 years, and a study in stealing a scene from some of the best in the business.

As long as we’ve been making movies people have been writing about them. From the industry trades, to fan magazines, to entertainment television shows. Whether critically or callously, film reporting has been an important part of the cinema going experience. For episode 62 of the Steal My Name podcast, we’re taking a look at the media around the media we take in, and how that has changed in the age of the internet. Specifically through the lens of the 1995 film, Waterworld. So trim your sails, clean out your gills, and join in as we discuss how the reporting around a movie can impact our viewing experience and the films legacy. DS9, season 3, episode 17, Visionary, does one of the things that DS9 does best; let’s mess with O’Brien!

All the while he is trying to figure out what is causing him to slip through time (yep!) and if those pesky Romulans are up to pesky Romulan business.

For episode 61 of the Steal My Name Podcast, we’re getting down right academic and talking about mythology building. When it comes to horror sequels there is a desire (for both business and creative reasons) to try and world build as the series progresses. This can be risky business. Sometimes we get a mixed up mythology that contradicts itself from film to film. Sometimes we get Hellbound: Hellraiser 2, a film that is a master class in how to add both back story to characters and how to expand mythology without falling on ones face. Deep Space Nine brings the Ferangi back into the spotlight with season 3, episode 16, Prophet Motive. What is Quark to do when the Grand Nagus trades in greed for charity and giving? Try and find out what’s wrong with him of course! The series long redemption of the Ferangi gets a major leap forward in this excellent episode.
