Junk Food Dinner

We're back and we're getting mysterious for May-stery month! First up, Jimmy Stewart is worried that his neighbor may be a killer in Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window." Next, Columbo is on the trail of a fashionable killer in "Lovely but Lethal." Finally, a group of strangers are being blackmailed by a dead guy in the board game-based "Clue." All this plus Nerd News, a shell with shoes, Junk Mails, Parker reviews [redacted] and so much more! Direct Donloyd Here

Another week, another episode of Junk Food Dinner. And this week the boys go down a spooky path of undead ghouls, fascist football players and stripper murdering serial killers.  Up first, a young woman survives a car crash (or does she?) and takes a job as a church organist, but she begins having creepy visions and the feeling she is being stalked by a ghoul from beyond the grave in the black and white classic Carnival of Souls from 1962.  Then, a young man moves to a new town and joins the high school football team only to find that his teammates have adopted some fascist techniques to deal with undesirable students and win games in Wolfpack from 1987.  And finally, a reporter goes undercover as a stripper in order to get a scoop on the serial killer that has been praying on exotic dancers in Dance with Death from 1992. All this plus, Parker's TV gripes, Bill Perkins chat, streaming stats and figures, hot new blu-rays and so much more!

It's a journey for the ages this week, Junkies, as we explore the horrors of high school, college, and the workplace! Up first! It's Sean Cunningham's rarely discussed mid-80s rural Florida thriller The New Kids, (aka Striking Back) from 1985! It's that one where Lori Laughlin and the other kid beat the crap out of James Spader and those other dudes in a decrepit Santa Claus themed theme park. Remember? Next up! Everyone's favorite actors, Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov return to the screen with a Police Academy style send-up of the funeral home industry entitled Mortuary Academy (from 1988)! It's got a lot of puns, some on-screen rapping, and has been compared favorably to Hamburger the Motion Picture by at least one of the JFD hosts. Finally! Of course, it's 1997's Office Killer, from esteemed fine art photographer Cindy Sherman. How could we not review a movie where Carol Kane goes batso and attacks Molly Ringwald? All this plus Sean's surprise visitor, unwanted baseball chats, Easter candies and Easter regrets, medium skype factors, ruminations on an Armenian film classic, horror folks, the world's biggest Marvel zombie, why aren't they making Draculer for god's sake?, lighting as character, podcast jazz, cats pulling the plug, anti-work groups, nerd news and even more!

Spring has sprung, Junkies and what better way to celebrate the warmer weather than by slipping into some comfortable shorts! That's right, it's short films week once again here on JFD.  Up first, we're going old school. REALLY old school. As we take a look at one of the many short films by pioneering female filmmaker Lois Weber, Suspense from 1913. Written, directed and starring Weber, the groundbreaking short tells the tale of a home invasion and a husbands frantic race to save his wife.  Next, we get an animation two-fer as we look at the brief but memorable Bambi Meets Godzilla from 1969 as well as another cult cartoon short from the same era Thank You, Mask Man based on a comedy routine from Lenny Bruce.  And finally, we examine the pilot for TV show called Heat Vision & Jack, directed by Ben Stiller and starring Jack Black as a former astronaut who became super smart by flying to close to the sun. Also, his best friend (played by Owen Wilson) has been turned into a motorcycle. Together they have to outrun government agents and possibly aliens who are out to get them. All this plus Parker's adventures in legitimate theatre, Tom's Aussie recommendations, Hatless Jackson's Tuscon tips, roasting dead kung fu legends, questionable Gaspar Noe release dates and much more!

Then, Tyrone Power is a carnival performer who dupes patrons into believing he has psychic powers. But when he gets greedy and tries to con a wealthy family out of their money, he quickly gets in over his head in Nightmare Alley from 1947. And finally Ray Milland works for a popular crime magazine, but when a young woman is murdered, his boss (Charles Laughton) assigns him to find the guy she was last with in The Big Clock from 1948.

Kevin's goofing off this week at his annual Bostonian Birthday Bash, so we reached out to the one and only (hatless) Jackson Stewart (of Beyond the Gates renown!) to fill in while we chat about three killer classics. Up first! It's Sam Peckinpah's classic revisionist western The Wild Bunch, from 1969! A band of outdated outlaws spill sweat and blood in equal parts into the Mexican desert, and boy has it never looked so danged gorgeous. But will grandpa-skeptic Parker Bowman dig these cowboys? Next up! Clint Eastwood stars and directs (for the first time!) with Play Misty For Me (from 1971)! A suspenseful psychosexual 70s thriller set up in the Big Sur region of Central California, some critics (on this podcast) have noted the bizarre haircuts of the leading actors as worth taking notice of. Finally! Of course, it's 1993's Arcade, because Parker's obsession with VR-based content continues, even when it's produced by Full Moon Pictures. All this plus cutting it up with the boys, vintage wallpapers, a podcaster's fatal fate, the return of Nightmare Fede, a vampiric inquiry, sun-bronzed beach boy (not beach bum) bonanzas, Don Siegel sidebars, bad VR, a check-in with the junkmailers, virtual Kevin, your winning numbers, nerd news and even more!
