Dirty Sons of Pitches

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are back and crusin' through the radical 1990s of cinema, this time stopping to examine "Deep rising," the creature-feature that helped launch Stephen Sommers before "The Mummy," and a failed TV pilot directed by Joe Dante, "Warlord: Battle for the Galaxy," otherwise known also as "The Osiris Chronicles," a sci-fi TV show that never got further than its second introductory episode.

Episode 403 includes:

-R.I.P. Richard Lewis and the creator of Dragon Ball and its many iterations.

-2024 Oscar recap and Nate finally reviews "Oppenheimer."

-Ben has some complicated thoughts on "Poor Things."

-Netflix's "Damsel" isn't quite Ben's "Damsel," and it suffers because of this. 

-By the Decade -- 1998 -- "Deep Rising" / "Warlord: Beyond the Galaxy"

-The monster movie is an enjoyably campy B-movie that showcases the strneths of Sommers and his love of the sci-fi/action movies of old, and the guys have very little positively to say about "Warlord" and its failed attempts to develop an interesting new future world and characters worth following. It's a big miss.
