The P.S. Midnight Cast: Recent Episodes
The Farsighted Network
This is what happens when 90s nostalgia meets light for the suicidal, depressed, addicted and self-harmful.
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.
Thanks to Justin’s long time friend, Kwalified, a diehard wrestling fan and dope emcee hailing from Hawaii, for our great intro song.
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!
SPECIAL THANKS to The O’Mulligans (now known as Chonker) for allowing us to use their fantastic track “Cage Rage” as our official theme song! Listen to Chonker on Bandcamp and support the band!

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.

As always, this is the podcast where we ask the important questions…

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…
- Follow us on Instagram
- Let us know your favorite episode of the show and your favorite Cage film in the comments for this episode
- 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 8th episode of Curtain Jerkers, Doug and Justin use a bad Shawn Michaels movie and two great matches of his to backdoor their way into a Scott Hall memorial episode. In other words, go watch the two Scott Hall/Shawn Michaels ladder matches and don’t waste your time on the film Avengers of Justice: Farce Wars. Doug and Justin both have high tolerances for bad movies, especially in the independent market… but this one… notsomuch.
We’ll be back next month with another great (or not-so-great) movie and more great wrestling.

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.
