Missing Real with Mike D'Arrigo
Great movies take their place in history, but what about all the "turkeys" and disastrous flops littering the vast cinematic cesspool? If you really love movies, then what does it matter if a particular film won eight Oscars or eight Razzies? Sometimes over-the-top hammy acting, laughably choreographed fight sequences and rubber monster FX outdo even the most lavish productions in the Academy Awards echelon. So, whether it's an unsurpassed masterpiece or a piece of something else, every movie I talk about in this podcast is near and dear to my heart. Some you will know well, some you'd be well...
Season 11 Episode 5: Superman (2025)
Aw, what have you done, Gunn?!? Superman is supposed to be impervious to bullets, but somehow you've managed to shoot down the greatest superhero in the world! From another world! Of the various iterations of the Man of Steel, this latest one's more of a little tin god. At least he's got a dog, who basically steals the movie.

Have a listen to our nerdy b...

Some THING is wrong. On Missing Real. So...are you intrigued? Concerned? That was more or less the menacing tagline I heard on the TV commercials back when this cheap sci-fi shlock was out in the theaters. I didn't see it until I rented the VHS tape from Blockbuster (speaking of: this movie sure wasn't one!) and saw what the big deal was. One good sign was that it starred pinup favorite and Charlie's Angel Farrah Fawcett. The legendary Kirk Douglas was on board as well. And some fellow named Harvey Keitel, who I'd never heard of, or HEARD, so I sim...
Season 11 Episode 3: Jaws
Jaws just turned 50 this year, and he's looking a little long in the tooth...but it's long overdue and the perfect time for Missing Real to take a dive into these dangerous waters! Actually, in this epic podcast, you'll be hearing about all 4 of the Jaws films (The "Jawses"?) and their steady descent into the depths of stupidity. From malfunctioning mechanical sharks to the laziest musical composition to ever win an Oscar and worldwide recognition, we've got a lot to chew on here, so put on your life jackets, join me on this audio expedition and hopefully we all ma...
