Junk Food Dinner

We're back with three working-class movies from our Patreon friends! First, Lilly Tomlin, Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda get in a whole heap of trouble with their mysogonist boss in "9 to 5." Next, an evil Kung Fu creep pits warriors against each other while making ghoulish creations in "Human Lanterns." Finally, it's deja vu as a barbarian travels to modern-day Los Angeles to stop an evil wizard in "Time Barbarians." All this plus Nerd News, Zombies at our Neighbors, game chat, Junk Mails, Tom from Oz and so much more! Direct Donloyd

Hey there! Remember that time we all ran away to the big city to play golf and exorcize teenagers? Neither do we, but it sounds like a sweet dream. Find out what sorta BMX tricks we'd have pulled together in this hypothetical scenario when you donloyd and listen now! Up first! It's 1980's Times Square! The third film in Kevin Moss's continuing series exploring the runaway teenagers of the 1980s, this one's got marquees-a-plenty and a supporting turn by Tim Curry portraying none other than Johnny LaGuardia, famed fictional NYC radio DJ. The soundtrack's chock full of bangers from top to bottom, but does the movie thrill us? ! Next up! There's very little exorcism and absolutely no teenagers in 1991's Teenage Exorcist, but that can't stop us from reviewing it. It's a Fred Olen Ray production, after-all, and Parker Bowman's got priorities when it comes to enjoying every instance of a leather bikini-clad Brinke Stevens whipping Eddie Deezen in a demonic basement scenario. Finally! Of course, it's 2004's 3-Iron (aka Bin Jip). It's the Korean romance film that you just KNEW we'd review some day - and the day is here. Is it a Sean pick, though, or does it not feature any baffling stretches of surreal silence? Is it even about golf? All this plus the trouble with cicadas, a cricket's jihad, Kevin wants his classic Jughead doll, a weirder looking dude than Paul Giamatti, being unfair to Jim Van Bebber, casting out demons on Skype, Siskel v Ebert: a heavyweight title match, extended musical interludes, nerd news and even more!

This week the boys put on their grandpa clothes to kick off June with a June-iversal Monsters show chock full of black and white horror goodness!  Up first, James Whale (director of Frankenstein, Invisible Man and Bride of Frankenstein) takes us into The Old Dark House from 1932. A group of travelers seek refuge from a storm in a creepy mansion inhabited by some strange folks and their monstrous man servant played by Boris Karloff.  Then, in a sequel to the original Wolf Man, Lon Chaney Jr. returns as Lawrence Talbot, back from the grave and up to his wolfish ways. He seeks out the old gypsy woman to help lift his curse, and while she can't help him she knows a doctor who can... Dr. Frankenstein! But when they get to Germany, they find out the good doctor has passed away, but they do discover his monster (this time played by Bela Lugosi) frozen, but still alive in Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man from 1943.  And finally, we get another monster mash but this time with a healthy dose of comedy as Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, working as shipping clerks run afoul of Dracula (Bela Lugosi) and Frankenstein (Glenn Strange) all while trying to assist Lon Chaney Jr, who once again is wolfin' out in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein from 1948.  All this plus we do a little Movie Hostage, run down some movies we've been watching, get some insight into AMC and the "stonk market", find out why Regal Cinema switched to Pepsi, see what video game tripped Kevin out and so much more.

  Welcome, junkies! We've got three crazy shorts this week! First, a mannequin follows two opera singers around a mall in "Possibly in Michigan." Next, Jim Van Bebber returns as an acid-loving cult leader in "My Sweet Satan." Finally, a kid heads to Shinjuku to find noodles for his grandma in "Ramen Baka Ichidai."

Once again, we've turned over our movie picks to our Dom DeLuise Patreon donors (the coolest kids in the whole school) and end up with a trio of flicks you may have rented in the 7th grade.  Up first, Jim Henson, George Lucas and David Bowie's package team up for the ultimate in technical Muppetry, 1986's Labyrinth, about a young girl (Jennifer Connelly) who has to figure out a fantastical maze in order to save her baby brother. Next, an 80's summer camp move that's not a sex comedy or a slasher? Despite its title, Summer Camp Nightmare isn't a horror movie, instead it's about what happens when the kids at a summer camp stage a violent coup and take over the camp. Lord of the Flies... that's what happens. And finally, in 1995 if you were into MMA, you may have caught this ultra-cheesy action flick called Superfights, about an elite fighting company and a naive young talent who enters it and quickly finds out, all is not as it seems. All this plus we discuss if our intro is outdated or if we are outdated and if it even matters, Shelby chat, gettin' vaxxxed, Godzilla vinyl news you can use and so much more.

Well, howdy! Y'all like movies that were produced to air on television? In that case, we got a hell of a theme-show for y'alls this week. It's our May-d For TV extravaganza! Listen along as we chat about three very different TV movies. Up first! It's 1972's The Night Strangler! The original TV Movie that spawned a sequel, a TV series, and a thousand imitators (or, the X-Files at least), this flick tracks the adventures of grizzled newspapersman Kolchak as he tracks down a murderous vampire in glitzy old Las Vegas. Plus: bonus swimming pool violence! Next up! The two Barbaras of 70s TV (Eden and Feldon) decide to swap lives, to experience what it's like to be a homemaker or a career woman, in the lightly comedic gender politics dissection Let's Switch, from 1975! Will Parker explain to us why he selected this obscure slice of 70s TV? Tune in and you'll find out (if he tells us). Finally! Of course, it's 1986's's The Children of Times Square. It's that one where a kid (named Eric Roberts!) falls in with some bad drug gang kinda stuff in dirty old NYC after running away from his idyllic suburban home. We'll tell ya all about those marquees in Times Square. All this plus is it time for the percolator?, musings on the current state of Made for TV movies, Cleopatra Chats, Kevin's analog crates, a musical tribute to a fallen filmmaker, how was babby formed?, a funny story about the Mirthmobile, Chekhov's Bigfoot, a tender moment or two, news-y loose-y, problems with pixels, nerd news plus blu-ray picks and even more!

Damn, it's getting hot outside. Time to slip into some comfy shorts... short films that is! Once again, JFD explores three short-subject pieces and this time they truly are very different.  Up first, Telly Savalas hosts an hour-long musical TV special entitled Telly... Who Loves Ya, Baby? (sponsored by Kraft Foods) in 1976 with special appearances by Barbara Eden and Cloris Leachman! Then, in 1989, fresh off Street Trash, James Lorinz (Frankenhooker) and Roy Frumkes produced a 16-minute short film called Swirlee where Lorinz plays a depressed man with an ice cream cone for a head. His roomate, David Caruso, fed up with his depression, encourages him to get back involved with the local ice cream mafia.  And finally, a couple kids and a dude in a cat costume figure out what to do with a found firearm in Cool Cat Finds a Gun from 2013. All this plus Mortal Kombat chat, tales from the drive-in, tips on how to watch baseball cheaply by changing your VPN, updates on Sean's cats and coyotes, R,L.

Hot dang! It's another Patreon-picked banger episode of Junk Food Dinner? This is insane! It's already time for us to once again chat about three fine films selected by YOU, the Patreon donor who helps keep this weird podcasting dream of ours alive?! Why click click here to check out our Patreon offerings yourself? Up first! It's 1972's Raw Meat! Donald Pleasance, Christopher Lee, and director Gary "Poltergeist III" Sherman come together for this early cannibal pseudoslasher, which none of us had seen. Thanks to John T for hipping us to it! Next up! Y'all remember Italian 80's horror movies? Y'all seen Demons? The Lamberto Bava flick with the ghouls that attack a cinema? We're reviewing the sequel, Demons 2, from 1986! It's pretty dang similar except this time, it's a high-rise apartment! But when you're dealing with a banger, is similar so bad? Thanks to Josh H for picking it! Finally! Of course, it's 1988's Spoorloos (aka The Vanishing). It's that Dutch thriller about the disapperance that was remade a few years later in Hollywood. You probably know the one we're talking about. But what do the tour-de-france themes mean?! We may never know, unless somebody tells us. Thanks to Brendon for selecting this one! All this plus gonzo is squeekin', a great day for non-murdering americans, general kevin buzzkill drops sad facts, totally fungible: no bong included, the tastes of the 1970s, a visual assessment of the heartiness of a stew, somebody out there in Oklahoma loves us, sharing a skittle or two, "Timmy Crabby" perhaps?, the bitter beer face revival, farting werewolf pranks, nerd news plus blu-ray picks and even more!
