What if the dude who sang  The Love Boat theme was the man in peril in a Giallo? Then you'd have  The Comeback .

Legend of the Lone Ranger is a pop culture property that probably shouldn't have been a blockbuster, but if itw as going to be, going after the actor best known for playing the role legally was a bad way to get audiences excited about his replacement.  It's a mess. But isn't that why you listen to the show? Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fa...

Yes, we already did Striking Distance , the most Pittsburgh movie of all time, but this is right up there. Van Damme as a firefighting ex-hockey goalie, making fun of Brad Tolliver and talking French with Luc Robitaille? I'm shocked that he didn't have a paper carton of Turner's Iced Tea in his hand the entire movie. BONUS: Here's the Sudden Death audiobook: https://soundcloud.com/...

Three movies that obsess me, from a time when we had no internet and had to use phones to connect and fall in lust -- as well as a teen sex comedy that makes no sense -- are on the show this week. Get ready to hear me go on and on about  Lovelines , The Party Animal and  Party Line .  Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes su...

Mannequin Two: On the Move  is very much the same movie as  Mannequin but it is also quite similar to  Tammy and the T-Rex . How could that be? Well, as always, you're going to have to listen to this episode.

How to Get...Revenge is insane. A movie that people shouldn't watch -- it's on YouTube -- filled with advice from fake experts that they should never listen to, all hosted by Linda Blair. Why? How? Just listen to the episode. Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching,...

We don't think of Mario Bava as a director of commedia sexy all’italiana, but  Four Times That Night is one of the better examples of the genre.

Not all movies are good. American Psycho 2 and Caddyshack II are two examples of that. In fact, one of them was never meant to be a sequel.

What's a sleepwalker? How about shapeshifting energy vampires that survive off the energy of virgins, who can cast illusions, move things with their minds and transform into werecats? Oh yeah and their biggest weakness is cats, who can see them and kill them with their claws. And before we forget, the only way the males can feed their female mothers is by having sex with them. Got all that? Then i...

In a Mexican convent and orphanage, a new girl named Justine arrives. She becomes close with another orphan named ⁠ Alucarda ⁠ , who was born in a mysterious barn and may be evil before this film even starts. In fact, she often appears in the film out of the shadows, filled with menace and questioning everyone’s faith. Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is...

Legend has it that David Cronenberg for the idea for the torture TV channel that lends its name to his opus  Videodrome  from this Joe D’Amato film, which is also known as  Trap Them and Kill Them . Think of this — a film that upset Cronenberg for its mash-up of snuff, cannibalism and sex. Take it from me. This one totally lives up to its promise. Or lives down. You almost have to appreciate it fo...

Deeds not words!  Megaforce has come from the 1980s to fix what's wrong. They're going to do it by blowing up their own vehicles and wearing skintight suits and yeah, maybe, they're going to be sexist. But they're going to do it.
