Episode 175: The Jewel Of The Nile

Episode 175

Tuesday, September 1, 2026 • Duration 39:20

“No sheep is safe tonight.”

On this episode we take a look at THE JEWEL OF THE NILE (1985) to see if how the sequel to the Eighties box office smash Romancing The Stone measured up.

We’re joined by Jairo from the True Bromance podcast to discuss whether Kathleen Turner’s dancing, extensive scenes of fire-breathing and juggling, and a [possibly] pharmaceutically enhanced Danny De Vito, can make up for a spectacularly lacklustre script. And of course we examine an exploding helicopter that’s the equivalent of cinematic pizza.

Saturday, August 1, 2026 • Duration 38:21

“No killing the other patients, rule number one.”

We travel into the near future and check in at HOTEL ARTEMIS (2018), a mysterious, members only hospital for crooks, hitmen and con artists.

We discuss the John Wick vibes, genre mash ups, and an exploding helicopter that could double as a video art installation.

Episode 173: Half Past Dead 2

Episode 173

Wednesday, July 1, 2026 • Duration 42:03

“They don’t call me the Alaskan pipeline for nothing.”

How bad does a film have to be that Steven Seagal won’t star in it? We go looking for the answer in HALF PAST DEAD 2 (2007), the Seagal-free follow up to the Buddhist botherer’s prison escape movie.

We joined by Nick Rehak to discuss which minor cast member from the original film has been promoted to leading man status, and the other strained efforts at series continuity. We also examine an exploding helicopter scene that is troublingly familiar.

Episode 172: Target Eve Island

Episode 172

Monday, June 1, 2026 • Duration 50:15

“Sounds like an Arabian racehorse to me.”

On this episode we investigate a movie made by a unique British filmmaker: Cliff Twemlow. After working as a bodybuilder, bouncer, music composter and novelist, Twemlow decided to reinvent himself as a movie mogul. Over a 10-year period, he made a string of low budget – and often no budget - films for the home video market. Here, we look at one of his works, TARGET EVE ISLAND (1983).

We’re joined by Doug Tilley from Cinema Smorgasbord to look at the fascinating life, career, and work of Cliff Twemlow. And as part of this, we also discuss the documentary MANCUNIAN MAN: THE LEGENDARY LIFE OF CLIFF TWEMLOW (2023).

Episode 170: Red Dawn

Episode 170

Wednesday, April 1, 2026 • Duration 38:37

“And grab some toilet paper – I ain’t gonna use no leaves”

On this episode of Exploding Vertical Take Off and Landing Aircraft we look at a film heralded as one of the most right-wing movies ever made, RED DAWN (1984).

After the Soviet Union and their allies invade the good ol’ USA, it is up to a ragtag collection of teenagers to kick some Commie arse. We marvel at Lea Thompson’s guerrilla chic, Harry Dean Stanton’s guide to good parenting, and – of course – the exploding vertical take-off and landing aircraft action.

Joining me behind enemy lines on this show is the DTV Connoisseur himself, Matt Poirier.

Episode 169: White House Down

Episode 169

Sunday, March 1, 2026 • Duration 41:16

“It’s a gift certificate for a massage.”

2013 was a banner year for actions films set in the White House with not, one, but TWO movies where a lowly federal functionary must save the President from terrorists.
Having already reviewed Olympus Has Fallen, we’re turning our attentions to Roland Emmerich’s WHITE HOUSE DOWN (2013).

Joining me in the podcast equivalent of the Oval Office is Matt Poirier from the DTV Connoisseur. We discuss fictional presidents as action movie heroes, a candidate for the most irritating child actor ever seen on screen, and, of course, all the exploding helicopter action.

Episode 168: Half Past Dead

Episode 168

Sunday, February 1, 2026 • Duration 43:23

“It’s a nice night to die.”

On this episode we review a pivotal film in the career of Steven Seagal. HALF PAST DEAD (2002) was the aikido arm thrower’s last theatrically released movie before he moved into the netherworld of DTV. But what do we make of the pony-tailed pugilist’s last cinematic outing?

From gigging with Michael Jackson, to unconvincing hair dye, to a controversial exploding helicopter scene, we discuss every element of this important film.

Show notes

Stars: Steven Seagal, Ja Rule, Tony Plana, Morris Chestnut, Linda Thorson, Nia Peeples
Plot: FBI agent Sasha Petrosevitch goes undercover in the newly reopened Alcatraz prison to find out who killed his wife. While there he stumbles onto a plot involving a death-row inmate and his $200 million stash of gold.

Episode 167

Thursday, January 1, 2026 • Duration 33:46

“And I haven’t been laid since the Clinton administration.”

Episode 166: Santa's Slay

Episode 166

Thursday, December 25, 2025 • Duration 32:17

“Thank you for not making us poor – or Samoan.”

On this brand new episode of Exploding Sleigh we take a look at a festive-themed entry in the combustible snow sled genre, SANTA’S SLAY (2005).

In this twisted holiday tale, Santa is the not the portly present giver we’re all familiar with, but a demonic entity out on a murderous killing spree. But does this horror comedy deliver top quality laughs and the chills, and – more importantly – does it give us the sleigh combustion thrills we want?
