Huuuh?Podcast: Recent Episodes

The Farsighted Network

Dino and Michele navigate their love of horror film, music, marriage, faith, and family through sometimes lighthearted and sometimes in-depth chats about life. Heavy on their love of film, the podcast has a distinct cinephile flair, but covers a variety of other topics.

We finally got to Stone Cold on this podcast… but we actually did so back in August. Life got the better of Justin and podcasts a’plenty didn’t get finished of posted(stay tuned for another drop tomorrow on The Farchive feed). So, while The Condemned is not a horror film, it’s scary how long it took Justin to finally post this shit!

Don’t worry, though, we have stuff in the works for the next few months and some changes in the format so that when Justin inevitably runs behind the convo isn’t about non-current “current events”.

For now, enjot some awesome matches and a fun film starring Steve Austin.

We unexpectedly took the Summer off, so in case you need a reminder – this is the podcast where we ask the important questions…

Is Nicolas Cage a legitimate acting genius?
An utter piece of silver screen trash?
Or somewhere in between?

On this episode, we celebrate spooky season with our Halloween episode on the latest creeptastic Cage gem, Longlegs. Justin’s spooky wife Brooke – aka Rockstar Roller Derby’s “People’s Captain” Clown Baby – joins the fray as we seemingly gush over one of the year’s best films. The spookiest thing… even Merder likes it. Listen in to find out just how much she likes it and if she’s even able to admit that Nic is “good” in the role!

Leon White – aka Vader – was one of the greatest big men in pro wrestling history. Sadly, his acting career wasn’t quite as successful. But watching the nonsensical 1995 live action adaptation of one of Japan’s longest running and most popular manga series gave us the opportunity to indulge in some truly stellar wrestling.

Enjoy our discussion of Fist of the North Star and 3 great matches from Big Van Vader in three different promotions with three distinctly different styles.

On this episode, we celebrate Loki’s mom with an actual banger… 1996 modern action classic The Rock! Not a ton to disagree about here, but we had lots of fun with it. Give it a rewatch if you haven’t lately, you won’t be sorry!

Thanks for hanging out with us this month, we’ll be back in a few weeks!

Don’t forget you can watch Merder and Loki be badass derby girls on Friday night on the Rockstar Roller Derby Twitch. There are a few tickets left and Justin will be announcing it all live on Twitch.

And later this month, check out Rockstar’s Bizarre Bazaar!

Nathan Jones wrestled for a short time in WWE, but wrestled for a little while before that. Most of us know him more for his actijng roles, though. As he reprises his role of Rictus Erectus in Furiosa, we visit his memorable role in Mad Max: Fury Road.

You’ll note that after the first 52-ish minutes, there’s a soundclip of Nathan in the film. That is because the recording service we used blipped and we had to log in to a new recording room to finish the podcast, so forgive any disjointedness. We still think you’ll enjoy this one!

As always, this is the podcast that asks the hard-hitting questions like, “What the fuck is wrong with Justin’s mic” or “Why the hell is this even a movie” or “Why does Merder hate us and herself”… and the most important questions of all…

Is Nicolas Cage a legitimate acting genius?
An utter piece of silver screen trash?
Or somewhere in between?

After having a few real bangers, Merder was tired of letting the others pick the movies because she was getting dangerously close to actually liking Nic. Enter 1993’s Deadfall, a true shit show. Resting alongside Trapped in Paradise, this one was absolute dreck. The crew genuinely hopes they are more entertaining than this film.

For a good synopsis of the film, you can just listen to Snot’s “Deadfall”, which is played at the end of the episode. It’s way better than the movie, for sure.

And you can watch Merder and Loki be badass derby girls on Friday night on the Rockstar Roller Derby Twitch. Live tickets are sold out, but Justin will be announcing it all live on Twitch.

Before we kick off this episode, we’d like to congratulate @malikibeats on Twitter/X for winning our swag giveaway! Thanks for the support.

Speaking of thanks, we’ve got to thank this episode’s guest, indie wrestling star and long time member of Young Dumb & Broke, the one and only Charlie Tiger, who you can follow on Twitter at twitter.com/charlietiger_ and Instagram at instagram.com/thecharlietiger_/.

Charlie wanted to talk one of his all-time faves, “The Whole F’in Show” Rob Van Dam. He and Doug picked some iconic matches for us all to discuss and Doug introduces us all to 1997’s Bloodmoon, in which RVD “stars” as one of the main villains victims. Charlie shares some fun insight, Doug plays historian, and Justin… well… he’s there, too.

Enjoy the show and remember to follow Charlie so you can check out his various escapades and matches all over North America and beyond!

It’s time to dive into Dave Bautista aka WWE’s Batista (guess the “u” was too confusing for Vince). The Jerks talk two of his top rated matches and his silver screen star turn in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy. But before we jump in, Justin talks Mania coming to his city and the events he’ll be attending. Doug also highlights some of the shows he’s most excited to catch online this weekend.

Episode 2 with a full team. Broken ankles, technical difficulties, and Justin being lazy (not really but he’s easy to blame) pushed back the release a couple weeks, but ALAS… we’re still on pace for a monthly episode, though we’re pushing to the third week of the month moving forward instead of the first… whoops… but we’re here, we promise! But it’s time for the important questions…

Is Nicolas Cage a legitimate acting genius?
An utter piece of silver screen trash?
Or somewhere in between?

On this month’s episode, Justin’s wife, and the illicit love of both Loki and Merder, joins to discuss her favorite Cage jawn, Kick-Ass! Spoiler alert, Merder HATES… how much she loves Nic in this one! If you’re watchign along, next month we’re watching 1993’s Deadfall, one of the the couple 0% Rotten Tomatoes films that Nic happens to star in, so maybe Merder will get to truly hate on him again next month, we shall see!

And the contest we promised last month officially drops right here in the show notes (instead of on Instagram)…

It’s easy as 1-2-3…

  1. Follow us on Instagram
  2. Let us know your favorite episode of the show and your favorite Cage film in the comments for this episode
  3. Winner of the Willy’s Wonderland 4K/Blu-ray from Scream! Factory will be announced on the next episode, which we’re recording the week after next… so get your entry in 11:59 PM EST on Monday, April 8th!

Originally record for November, then eventually slated for February release, and now it finally drops in late March. But it’s worth it… we think.

Listen to Doug and Justin chat about Abdullah the Butcher in the ring and on the silver screen… with 1981’s Roaring Fire. Alongside Sonny Chiba as “Mr. Magic”, Abdullah plays bigass bodyguard Spartacus in this bizarre and fun little action joint.

On this busy wrestling weekend, why not listen to the Jerks talk about MORE wrestling? On tap this month are two amazing matches and a fun kaiju movie starring one half of the Golden Lovers, Kota Ibushi.

Doug chose two brilliant matches against Kenny Omega and the Ace himself, Hiroshi Tanahashi. And, the dynamic duo watched and discussed the 2016 kaiju comedy, Kaiju Mono. This episode is going to be hard to top!

Mania was pretty good but we had so much to talk about that we barely mentioned it. In fact, we even barely glazed over the sale of WWE. We had REAL RASSLIN’ to discuss with LVAC Commish joining us this month. That’s right, move over Fed, move over TK and AEW, it’s all about indie wrestling, with heavy does of Ultramantis Black, Jeff Cannonball, Myung-Jae Lee, and – of course, Big Dan Champion!

Chris brought with him an early oughts actioner by the name of The Marine, starring a pre-Hollywood-cash-cow John Cena. In addition, the three of them each chose a John Cena match to discuss… and no suprise who chose the worst of the bunch. But, alas, a good time was had by all!

Most importantly, LVAC has a few upcoming events (see above flyers) and you should check them out, all event info is available at their Facebook page. Additionally, you should go to xLVACx.com to order badass T-Shirts of your own or merchbin.net to buy other cool swag from LVAC and their affiliates.

If interest in purchasing on the badass shirts they printed for this podcast, shoot Justin a message or stay tuned for official ordering info at The Farsighted and the Curtain Jerkers social media accounts (links to Twitter and IG below)!

So… Pro Wrestlers vs. Zombies… yup, definitely a movie. But there’s not a lot of great things to say about it, sadly. Thankfully, there are a ton of great things to say about Matt Hardy’s wrestling skills, especially in some iconic tag team bouts! There are a bounty of great Hardy matches, but we chose 3 for this month: the classic original TLC match, a great Kevin Steen singles match from ROH, and Hardyz face off with the Briscoes, in honor of the late great Jay Briscoe.

Reach for the Sky! This month was a ton of fun, even if the movie wasn’t. The matches were a real treat this month. We got to chat about the latest AEW PPV, too!

Thanks for listening and we’ll be back with a special guest next month, just in time for Mania!

A delayed release on this episode (big surprise), but still more timely than that 2 month break a few months back. We’re getting there… really… we promise… but on to the important questions…

Is Nicolas Cage a legitimate acting genius?
An utter piece of silver screen trash?
Or somewhere in between?

So even though we discover here that Merder may not be the right audience for the weirdness that is David Lynch… and we already know her likelihood or truly enjoying Nic is low… we still agree that this one is a huge step up from Trapped in Paradise. Then again, what isn’t?

Listen to us talk Nic news, Wild at Heart, and getting COVID. And hear Justin yell at his dogs. It’s truly a podcast for the ages!

This, our 15th episode (and slightly belated January episode), features good and bad lucha. The good comes from the Silver King and the bad from the silver screen. While Justin is surely a fan of Nacho Libre and Doug is surely not, they can agree that the wrestling in the film is not so great… but the actual matches they cover from the legendary luchador Silver King, on the other hand.

We touched briefly on the sad passing of Jay Briscoe, but in late February we’re taking on some classic Hardy matches and including a bonus third match of the Hardys vs. the Briscoes, so we can spend a bit more time on Jay in the ring and the mark he’s left on wrestling.

Two! Count em! Two months in a row with a timely episode! But… also two months in a row where Merder and Justin agree that the movie was not good… but how was Nic? That is the question!

Is Nicolas Cage a legitimate acting genius?
An utter piece of silver screen trash?
Or somewhere in between?

Like the film or not, Trapped in Paradise was at least much more fun to discuss for the Cagematchers this month and it lead to Justin picking one he knows at least HE loves for next month in David Lynch’s Wild at Heart… even if this month’s film had him so frazzled he referred to Laura Dern as Helen Hunt.

We hope you enjoy this holiday special (or holiday not-so-special, as it were)… even if you don’t enjoy the movie, or even Nic Cage!

Saint Nicolas by CAGE Grind Noir

And as a bonus, the episode closes out with a track from UK grindcore band Cage, the song is entitled “Trapped in Paradise” and is inspired by this movie. It’s loud and obnoxious and oh-so-much better than this movie!

Our 2nd Christmas episode and 14th episode overall, this month is all about Santa Mick! We dive into a couple classic Mick Foley matches before having director Tommy Avallone hop on to talk his fun holiday documentary, I am Santa Claus. Tommy’s quirky and unique visions really fit the niche vibe of Doug and Justin’s unified interest… and anyone who enjoys this pod is sure to enjoy Tommy and his docs!

Happy Holidays to everyone and thank you for listening! Enjoy you family and friends, watch a good movie, and check out some fun wresstling while you’re at it.

Support Tommy by following him on Twitter, heading to his website, and watching his new Barney doc on Peacock!

Next month, we plan to dive head first into the world of Lucha Libre, one of Doug’s favorite wrestling styles, so we are excited to hang out with you all again in January.

On this 7th episode of Curtain Jerkers, Doug and Justin talk the Ace, Hiroshi Tanahashi… including matches with Minoru Suzuki and Kota Ibushi, as well as his feature film debut in My Dad is a Heel Wrestler. But before they dig into the Ace’s career, they spend some time on AEW Revolution, the best PPV in quite some time. As per usual, Doug schools Justin… this time, even moreso than usual since Justin know so little about Japanese wrestling.

We’ll be back next month with another great (or not-so-great) movie and more great wrestling.

Before we dive into the episode, have you seen our badass logo? Awesome designer Trais Colton Barhaug rocked that for us and you should go support him now! T-shirts, pins, and stickers are on their way.

This episode we dropped a new theme song too. Thanks to Justin’s long time friend, Kwalified, a diehard wrestling fan and dope emcee hailing from Hawaii.


On this 5th episode of Curtain Jerkers (sorry it’s a few days late, as it was scheduled to drop in late December but life got away from Justin… as it does sometimes), Doug and Justin are joined by Nick “The Professor” Harrison, a badass Dean of Students who does the most entertaining wrestling videos on social media. His love of wrestling and his fun loving attitudes shine through are the trio discuss Bill Goldberg and the Christmas Classic, Santa’s Slay.

Check out the episodes and follow Nick Harrison’s amazing content on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok once you’re done!

We’ll be back next month with another great (or not-so-great) movie and more great wrestling.
