This is the DTVC Podcast, official podcast of the Direct to Video Connoisseur. We do a lot of action movies, plus other genres of DTV films, including horror, sci-fi, comedy, and erotic thrillers, both recent and from the 80s and 90s. Every week we tackle a new DTV film or topic. Drop us a line with comments and suggestions.
Ty from Comeuppance Reviews is back for his monthly spot on the pod as we continue our "On the Skids" series with "Keitel on the Skids." Our first film is "Paradox Effect," which also stars Olga Kurylenko, and the poor man's Statham from "Wire Room." Our second one is the long-awaited "The Wrecker," which was directed by Art Camacho, and stars a bunch of returning champions. Finally, our spotlight on a fight looks at the end fight between Stallone and Armand Assante in "Judge Dredd."

DTVC Extra 60, Street Fighter Movies
"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode I look at the three live action Street Fighter movies. In the first segment, I talk about my history with the video game, and then get into 1994's "Street Fighter," how my friends and I didn't have great expectations for it, but we wanted to see Van Damme. I also talk about how this affected Van Damme's career, but maybe not the way we think. In the second segment I talk about the much maligned "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li." I didn't dislike it, and I think it's perhaps because it feels like a good DTV actioner. In the third segment I talk about the newest movie, which I saw in the theater yesterday. It was a movie I was hoping would be great, did it live up to expectations? Finally, in the fourth segment I talk about my first novel, "Chad in Accounting," giving some background on how I came up with the initial idea, how the story evolved, and how I learned that writing the books might be the easiest part of self-publishing novels.

DTVC Podcast 284 "Bad Bizness" aka "More Mercy"
We're joined once again by Mitch from the Video Vacuum, and this time we're doing a little movie autopsy as we look at "Bad Bizness" aka "More Mercy," and we try to see where the first director, Albert Pyun, ends, and the second director, Jim Wynorski, begins; but also where do Fred Olen Ray and Andrew Stevens come into this? Before that though, we talk about at Mitch's new book, "The Video Vacuum Strikes Back."
