Overhated

Scott Weinberg

Booking Overview

This film-criticism interview show revisits underrated, poorly received, and forgotten movies, typically featuring film podcasters, commentators, creators, and knowledgeable enthusiasts as external guests. PR agencies could credibly pitch clients with strong expertise in cult, genre, comedy, or overlooked films—especially critics, filmmakers, writers, and film-media creators—and booking difficulty appears low because guests are generally accessible specialists rather than major celebrities.

At first glance you'd think "ew, what's that?" but then someone told you who the writers / director were and your brain said "whaaaaat?"

Episode #198: Red Sonja (1985)

September 07, 2026

If you grew up loving Conan the Barbarian (1982) you probably also had some room in your heart for Conan the Destroyer (1984) and Red Sonja (1985). And if not, that's OK. For this episode I found a big Sonja supporter in my old friend Ashley Lynch. Big thanks to Ashley for picking this one, and my love to Effin Birds and every single patron / listener!

Hackers (Episode #196)

It's got its fair share of fans these days, but that was not the case back in 1995. Join me and my excellent first-time guest Simon Underwood as we discuss this kitschy curiosity that somehow stood the test of time. Sort of. Check out the list of episodes here: bit.ly/3WZiLFk.
