Junk Food Dinner

We're back with three crazy Patreon picks this week! First, the world's only ramen western sees a group of Japanese cowboys mosey into a noodle restaurant and, well, things get weird from there. It's "Tampopo" from 1985. Next, Hulk Hogan is a space superhero stranded on Earth in "Suburban Commando." Finally, a deranged high school girl kidnaps an emo boy for a torturous in-home prom in 2009's "The Loved Ones." All this plus Nerd News, Junk Mails, DVDs, Our Favorite Words, What St. Peter Will Tell Us, Who is the dickhead with the Mustache in Deadpool?, Michael Showalter: Bernie Bro? and so much more.

Y'all ever feel like all these 75 minute low-budget science fiction features are far too lengthy? Good news, junkies: we've shortened the sci-fi! It's our signature Short Films week for the month of Sci-Fi Ebruary! Up first! We start at the only sane, logical, or respectable place: with not a short film at all, but instead the (long un-aired) 1965 television pilot for the series Lost In Space! Entitled 'No Place to Hide', and directed by disaster-film king Irwin Allen, this initial conception of the show featured less talking robots, more stoming cyclopses. Also: the Rolly Polly Fish Heads dude! Next up! Y'all ever seen 1970's The Grandmother? It's one of the weirder/longer entries on the exhaustive Short Films of David Lynch DVD set, and it's also one of the most out of print records you'll ever see in your life. Features dog barking noises! Finally! It's a third film: Giant God Warrior Appears in Tokyo (Kyoshinhei Tôkyô ni arawaru / 神兵東京に現わる), a live-action kaiju short film from Studio Ghibli of all companies, released in 2012. This action packed little number was directed by Shinji "Shin(ji) Godzilla" Higuchi, who directed Shin Godzilla because of his given name. All this plus YOUR weekly Cactus League Baseball update, Punker Eric & the Spud Launchers, the Mysterious Enigma of Jennifer's Dick Guy, some very special callers, check out the cans on that Fresno newslady, a disappearing Bowman, a sneeze or two, fat little gangster bellies, our weekly news plus Blu-ray Picks and even more!

The three crewmen on Space Station JFD can't do it alone. Sometimes they must enlist the help of outsiders... aliens, if you will. And this week we welcome special guest alien Shelby Cobras to discuss three Sci-Fi Patreon picks! Up first, Bruce Dern is the caretaker of a bio-dome in space but when he gets the orders to scrap the project and blow up the ecosystem, he goes on a rampage then plays cards with robots in Silent Running from 1972 (picked by John T). Next, we investigate the supposed true story of Travis Walton, who claims he was abducted by aliens in the 70's in Fire in the Sky from 1993 (picked by Kessa) And finally, we check out the Sci-Fi Channel's first made-for-TV movie Official Denial from 1993 (picked by Eamon), about a man who is tasked by the government to befriend a recently captured alien. All this plus Shelby's review of Color Out of Space, Shelby's hot takes on Jordan Peele, Nerd News, Blu-Rays, wacky robots, kooky aliens and so much more!

Sci-Fi-Ebruary continues, though the world ends! It's apocalypse week on JFD as we take a look at three movies that depict the end of the world. First, a group of random survivors seek to re-start civilization if the monsters leave them alone long enough in Roger Corman's "Day the World Ended." Next, a ragtag group drive a superheroic tank across a barren and irradiated post-WWIII America in "Damnation Alley." Finally, a fascist group wants control of a post-apocalyptic Texas that's full of violence and punks in Joe D'Amato's "2020 Texas Gladiators." All this plus Nerd News, new bumpers, DVDs, Raimi Chat, Sweetman, junkmails, and so much more! Direct Donloyd. Got a movie suggestion for the show, or better yet an opinion on next week's movies?

Get ready, grandpas and grandmas! It's Sci-Fi Ebuary and we're here to review three of your favorite old-ass movies! Up first! We start at the only sane, logical, or respectable place: 1958's It! The Terror from Beyond Space, a proto-Alien spaceflick with a weird rubber suited alien battling astronauts. Ridley Scott thanks the filmmakers. Next up! Y'all ever seen 1962's Creation of the Humanoids? It's a talky technicolor melodrama about the ethical implications of advanced robotics in a human society. Ridley Scott thanks the filmmakers. Finally! It's a third film: Die, Monster Die!, from 1965. It was not based on the Misfits song of the same name, which was released decades later. But it does have Boris Karloff. And it's based on a Lovecraft. We'll tell ya about it. All this plus science fiction sounds, our weekly news plus Blu-ray Picks and even more!

We asked our Dom DeLuise Patreon donors put together three solid gold bangers and we'd select one lucky winner's trio to do on the show and we landed on Elise's eclectic mix of classy cult comedies. Up first, James Stewart plays a mild mannered alcoholic who embarasses his family by spending most of this time getting loaded and talking to his imaginary friend, a giant rabbit in Harvey from 1950. Then, Peter Sellers play a simple minded gardener who finds himself homeless until he crosses paths with Shirley MacLaine who's the wife of a dying millionaire in Hal Ashby's Being There from 1979. And finally, Mel Brooks points his patented brand of satire on Star Wars in Spaceballs from 1987. Starring Bill Pullman, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Daphne Zuniga and Joan Rivers! All this plus The Memphis Maniac's Year In Review, we find out what people are really doing in the library, why Disney keeps trying to sell you sporks for $15, Space Force!, Nerd News, Blu-Rays and so much more!

We're back, Junkies! It's episode five goddamn hundred. Can you even believe it? Most of you weren't even born yet when we started the show! We're not watching any movies this week, just partying with some friends. We're joined by Mike Dikk, Shelby Cobras and Hatless Jackson Stewart! We play songs and listen to voicemails from the friendliest junkies! Then, we read our lists of Top 5 movies of 2019! Direct Donloyd

Now, just wait a dang minute - you're telling me those Junk Food Dinner boys are doing January's Patreon Picks episode already? Hoo boy, it's about to get wild. Up first! We start at the only sane, logical, or respectable place: Sole Survivor, from 1983. It's that movie where a lady doesn't die in a plane crash, but then almost dies several times later. Directed by the director of Night of the Comet!! Thanks to Ronn C for picking it! Next up! We flash all the way to 1987/88, or maybe actually back to 1977, or way out into the outer space of the future in wacked out Andrzej Żuławski's Polish-as-hell On the Silver Globe, a movie which has a profoundly divisive impact on the group. Shout out to our man Babylegs for picking it. Finally! It's a third film: Welcome to the Doll House, from 1995. It was directed by Todd Solondz. It's picked by Kessa. All this plus Kevin Moss has shocking hot takes on rocking cold sodas, the bad boys of podcasting talk movie snack sneakings, the Dick Tracy Roast Beef saga retold, holy bulging underpants, Sean sees dead person, videotapes layin' around somewhere, our weekly news plus Blu-ray Picks and even more!

Happy 2020, everybody! We're back and we're ringing in the New Year with our traditional 'Happy Nude Year' episode. What better way to celebrate another trip around the sun than to bask in some of the weirdest and wildest skin flicks to ever hit the back room of your local video store? Up first, legendary porn star John Holmes runs a prostitution racket out of a pizza parlor in Hot and Saucy Pizza Girls from 1978. Desiree Cousteau (Pretty Peaches) stars alongside Candida Royalle, Laurien Dominique and Christine De Shaffer who deliver more than pizzas on their skateboards in their short shorts. Next, after a woman (Lynn LeMay) accidentally kills her husband by dropping a plug-in vibrator into the bathtub with him, she fears the guilt will lead her to never have an orgasm again. That is, until her psychiatrist (Peter North) convinces her to take a surreal sexual adventure in Dreams in the Forbidden Zone from 1988. Finally, a couple get lost in the woods and are invited in by a coven of sexy witches (Glori-Anne Gilbert, Julie K. Smith and Stormy Daniels) in The Witches of Breastwick from 2005 directed by Jim Wynorski (Chopping Mall, The Return of Swamp Thing) All this plus Parker's adventures in Arkansas at Frisbie's wedding, Uncut Gems Talk, weird voicemails, the PornHub year in statistics, Nerd News, Blu-Rays and so much more!

It's time for JFD Rewind Episode Number Six! As we perfunctorily explain at the head of each of these annual compilation clip shows, your charming Junk Food Dinner hosts are unwilling and/or unable to perform their regular duties in this very hectic holiday time period. However, as has been explained prior, this inability to produce a new weekly show does not preclude us from our obligation to deliver some form of audio content to the feed. So it's come to this again: yet another Junk Food Dinner clip show. As we're fond of both the elements of surprise and laziness, we'll forgo the usual descriptors here as to what the actual contents of this cut-and-pasted effort truly are. If you're the sort of curious cat who'd actually donloyd this thing, you'll listen along with us and discover what made the cut for this year's compilation. And if not, you could still pretend you did and probably fool us. That said, we jammed some pretty good stuff into this year's edition, just because we love y'all so much. If y'all love what ya hear, sign up for our Patreon thing to throw us a few bones (in exchange for some boners). All this plus witty banter between friends, witty banter between Freados, a hatless miracle, zero Nerd Newsies, no week's DVD & blu-ray releases, partial confidentiality, continued lack of overt police involvement, asynchronous robot voices, overlong musical interludes, rogue boners, wanton sneezes, spooky belches, sinister gleeks and a little bit more!
