Percolated Media Presents: Jeremiah Kipp

Percolated Media Presents: Jeremiah Kipp

It’s Garrett’s first Percolated Media Presents podcast in quite awhile, and boy did he pick a doozy to come back to, as there are many many things to talk about this week! He starts things off with a 15 minute observation about what the last weekend in box office means for both the short term and long term. He also goes into Steven Spielberg’s appearance on The Rewatchables podcast earlier this week, and what the box office numbers mean for not only the sinking Mandolorian and Grogu. But also this week’s Masters of the Universe and Spielberg’s own Disclosure Day, opening June 12th. He then talks to director Jeremiah Kipp. Kipp’s newly released film The Mortuary Assistant has been taking the top spot on channel Shudder’s most watched film. Kipp goes over things like what got him interested in filmmaking, how he approached adapting a very popular video game, what it was like appearing on the popular podcast The Movie Crypt (RIP Arwen), and soooo much more. We think you’ll find Kipp to be a tremendously nice guy and we look forward to what he does next! Garrett then concludes the podcast with a wrap up of today’s show as well as previews of upcoming retrospectives. With so much going on in the movie world, we can’t see Percolated Media Presents laying dormant for long! Songs: Intro: Wolf The Wolf You Feed by Nita Strauss (w/ Alissa White-Gluz) Outro: So Tired of Being Alone by Tarja Turunen (w/Schiller)

The Dark Tower (2017)

After a few months away from his crazy imagination, it’s time for the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast to return to the world of Stephen King. And what a doozy to start this leg of adaptations, as in 2017 screenwriter Alivia Goldman and producer Ron Howard brought King’s seven plus Dark Tower book series to the screen! Widely criticized as being one of the worst adaptations ever put to screen, the movie nonetheless possesses both Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey in the two main roles. So what is the film criticized? And do Garrett, Adam, and Matt agree?? Listen in as the guys dissect a huge set of behind the scenes circumstances which had everyone from JJ Abrams to Ron Howard himself in the film’s director’s chair at one point or another. So how the hell did Nikolaj Arcel get the gig?? And is there a future for this series? So much to get to. So check out this 90 plus minute review of The Dark Tower and be sure to come back as the guys will dissect the movies adapted from King’s Different Seasons collection, and even throw a few surprises in here and there!

The Black Phone 2 (2025)

You know how sometimes while reviewing Joe Hill’s father and his adaptations we say we wonder when he will run out of inanimate things that are evil? For example, a linen folding machine shows there is no limit to how vast Stephen King’s imagination can take him. However, we’ll get back to him soon. Now, we are reviewing a movie that was spawned much the same way King came up with The Mangler. Hill phoned Scott Derrickson and asked him, ‘what would happen if The Grabber called Finn from hell?’ The rest, as they say, is history. Join the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as we finally get to the sequel to the first surprise hit from Blumhouse Pictures. Is this really a new Nightmare on Elm Street 3 Dream Warriors? Can Ethan Hawker be our new Freddy? What about Black Phone 2’s new settings and characters??? All is answered in the below podcast. Next week, a review of dad Steve’s Dark Tower and its adaptation starring Matthew McConaughey. What can possibly go wrong with that one???

Hulk (2003)

This week the guys finally get to a theatrical release as they review director Ang Lee’s long awaited 2003 film, Hulk! After Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon became an unexpected commercial and critical darling, Lee had a slew of big budgeted opportunities flood his inbox. The two biggest ones being a follow up to James Cameron’s Terminator 2 Judgment Day, as well as the long in development by Cameron’s ex Gale Anne Hurd Hulk film. Yet, he turned down Terminator 3 in order to take the big green monster on. And after years of rejected scripts and start stops, the green light was finally given, with Eric Baja being Lee’s choice for the Banner/Hulk role. But upon release, Hulk was met with derision from both critics and audiences, with some saying there wasn’t enough action and others putting down the long built up finale between the two Banners. Will The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast join the fray of people who reassess Hulk in a positive light?? Listen in to find out! Also, we reveal what the next retrospective series will be.

The Death of The Incredible Hulk (1990)

With a successful television show and a string of TV movies The Incredible Hulk proved to be a hugely rewarding experience for Bill Bixby. So it’s understandable that he was apprehensive about finally putting the character to bed. In fact, all reports are that he didn’t want to fully put it to bed. We get into that on this podcast. But before that happens, David Banner finds himself mixed up with spies, with nary a Jack McGee sighting. That, my friends, is the plot of The Death of the Incredible Hulk. A movie even Hulk can Garrett wasn’t looking forward to revisiting. Yet, our duty is our duty, so enjoy Percolated Media listeners! Next week, the guys finally get to a theatrically released film starring the big green angry guy. Next week, we review Ang Lee’s huge summer of 2003 film Hulk! And boy, do we have opinions on that one! But for now, enjoy our review of Bixby’s swan song as the Hulk, 1990’s The Death of the Incredible Hulk!!
