Junk Food Dinner

It's Christmas, junkies! We've got a round of X-mas inspired short films for you! First, we take a trip to the Twilight Zone and drop in on Art Carney as a drunk Santa who has an existential breakdown before finding a magic sack in "Night of the Meek." Next, Art Carney returns as Santa in a prototypical Jim Henson jam that originally aired as an episode of "The Ed Sullivan Show." It's "The Great Santa Claus Switch." Watch as Fraggles ... I mean Frackles ... dance and sing! Finally, four foul-mouthed kids from Colorado get caught up in the ultimate Christmas fight: Santa vs. Jesus. It's Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "The Spirit of Christmas." All this plus Xmas stories, Nerd News, DVDs, Cats Chat and so much more! Direct donloyd

Your Christmas is about to get cranked! Those wild Junk Food boys are at it again, holiday stylin' and profilin' three weird Xmas-Adjacent features. Featuring more incest than ever before! Up first! We start at the only sane, logical, or respectable place to start a Christmas theme show: Seeds, from 1968. Low budget auter Andy Milligan's interpretation of America's Winter Family Holiday (tm) is a grim, back-stabbing (literally) affair (literally) wherein the family members gathered to celebrate the birth of our lord end up just fucking and murdering each other instead. Plus: bad audio looping!! Next up! We flash all the way to 1989, where the top filmmakers in France were hard at work crafting the perfect film for the young hosts-to-be of Junk Food Dinner to completely miss out on for decades. It's every kid's best worst nightmare when Santa Claus comes to town except he's just some creepy homeless dude who's good at computers. We're talking of course about Deadly Games, known by a million other titles. You'll be thrilled by the Home Alone-esque defenses put up by this kid, to say nothing of his radical mullet. Finally! It's a third film: Initiation: Silent Night, Deadly Night 4, from 1990. We enjoyed the first two films, so why had we never heard anything really about this one? And it's directed by Brian Yuzna? With effects from Screaming Mad George? What in the hey now?!? All this plus checking Parker's residuals, Baby Yoda were the Stormtrooper this whole time, an unexpected celebration of guerrilla theme park filmmaking, small soldiers with big appetites, the Hallmark corporation catch-up jam, Parker's mindblowing revelation, our weekly news plus Blu-ray Picks and even more!

Cowboys! Models! Maniacs! Oh my! Once again, we hand over the picks to our Dom DeLuise Patreon donors and have ended up with three very different films. Up first, Two gunslingers (Jean-Louis Trintignant and Klaus Kinski) do battle over money, revenge and power in Italian director Sergio Corbucci's classic in the world of Spaghetti Westerns, The Great Silence from 1968. Next, writer/director Michael Crichton brings us a not-so-futuristic tale about corporations using computers to replicate models in CGI and then murder them! Luckily plastic surgeon Albert Finney and his model companion Susan Dey are out to stop them in Looker from 1981. And finally, a horny mad scientist takes a job as a physics teacher at the horniest high school in America all while testing a serum that can make him disappear in The Invisible Maniac from 1990.  All this plus Parker's birthday desires, Sean's musical mishaps, PlayMobile The Movie Update, Rodeo Burgers, Deep Cuts from The Fallen One, The new Ghostbusters Trailer, Nerd News, Blu-Rays and so much more!

Welcome back, kiddies! We have three tales of madness, obsession and grandmothers this week! First, Dennis Hopper is a sailor who meets a woman who may or may not be a killer -- and she may or may not be a mermaid! It's Curtis Harrington's "Night Tide" from 1961. Next, a Rod Serling skeleton introduces three "chilling" tales -- and they're all in three dimensions! It's "Tales of the Third Dimension" from 1984! Finally, a medieval viking type guy devotes his life to revenge on the monster that killed his daughter in "The Head Hunter" from 2019 directed by Jordan Downey of "Thankskilling." All this plus Warhammer shaming, DVDs, Nerd News, the evil is defeated, junk mails, Kyle from Kentucky, a new spin-off show?, Spookies is finally on blu ray and so much more!

Your Thanksgiving might be winding down, but your WICKSGIVING is just getting started! Join your podcast pals on the run as we punch, kick and stab our way through this spiritual successor to Cranksgiving! Featuring more Keanu than ever before! Up first! We start at the only sane, logical, or respectable place to start: John Wick, from 2014. Keanu Reeves is John Wick, and if you forget his name, don't worry, every character in the film will say it every time he appears. And when he does appear, he'll probably be shooting those characters right in the face, since he's a ruthless assassin hunting down the criminals who killed his dog. Also, cars are crashed. Next up! We flash all the way to 2017, where the filmmakers got the gumption to throw together a little sequel called John Wick: Chapter 2. This time, Wick's on the run, or something. And the action set pieces are bigger! Is that better? Finally! It's a third film: John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, from this very year. New locations, Game of Thrones actors, and Anjelica Huston and eye-gouging gore sequences are added to the mix. But how steamy do things get? Does Keanu do sex? Donloyd now to find out. All this plus a look back at the Wick That Was, mixing & matching our wicks & cranks, we reveal which of the hosts cried during Jojo Rabbit, the most important review of an Elvira pinball table this side of Pinball Enthusiast magazine, a run-down of which Thanksgiving side dishes do and don't have marshmallows, (Freedom of) Pie of Choice, Parker risks life/limb/imprisonment for his art, the intricate politics of modern theatrical film distribution, speculation on the future for the 1948 Paramount Consent Decrees legal standing, left hangin' on the Milky Way Midnight tip, Parker Bowman is genetically predisposed to echoing on Skype, our Wickly news plus Blu-ray Picks and even more!

Your family may ask that you "dress nicely" for Thanksgiving, but we say come as you are. In fact this week, we're slipping into our most comfortable shorts and settling in with three short films (okay, two short films and a TV episode). Up first, remember the 1992 Fox TV sitcom Woops! about a group of strangers from various walks of life who survived the apocalypse and live on a farm together? No? We don't either, but we assure you it was a thing! And they made a Thanksgiving episode where a turkey grows to Godzilla-like proportions after eating radioactive food! (Link) Next, Jackie Buscarino from the Grandma's Virginity podcast and several Cartoon Network shows tells the personal tale of her emotionally abusive mother and apathetic dad and her struggles growing up in the early 1980's in Go Tell Ricky Scrotum from 2010. (Link) And finally, two criminals in pilgrim masks attempt a home invasion in the all-too-brief but surprisingly violent Invaders from 2014. (Link) All this plus Parker's failed attempts to see movies, Sean & Kevin's thoughts on Parasite, Twilight Zone chat, olds in theaters, Nerd News, marathon nostalgia, Frank Miller chat, Mr. Boogedy, hot titty milk Blu-Rays and so much more!

Junk Food Dinner! Fuck yeah! We're back with three wacky and exciting Patreon-friend-picked movies this week! First, a film maker is chased by assassins ... and that's pretty much it in "The Junkman." Next, a documentary crew follows a small-town beauty pageant that may end in murder in "Drop Dead Gorgeous." Finally, a group of dicks have to fuck a bunch of assholes -- that is if the pussies will let them in "Team America: World Police." All this plus Nerd News, DVDs, Shelby Cobras updates, Parker's mic is a little hot, Dr. Sleep chat, Godzilla chat, Invisible Mens and so much more! Direct Donloyd here. Remember, if you want to pick our movies (or listen to dozens of bonus episodes) then you can find us at Patreon.com/junkfooddinner.

This week, we've hand picked a heady selection of weird and wild cult films for us to watch and discuss! Donloyd, listen and enjoy along as we chat about 'em, won't you? Up first! Y'all remember that spooky old Japanese folktale about the black cat and the samurais? No? Well, don't worry because the 1968 film adaptation Kuroneko has got you covered, with extra scary fog and bamboo forests to spare. Next up! Way back in 1981, a still-semi-fringe John Waters and a still-not-yet-dead Divine threw together another co-lab feature, this time a sort of parody of old school "women's films." The movie we speak of is of course Polyester, not to be confused with the synthetic fabric. Finally! It's a third film: Knock Knock, the 2015 Eli Roth-directed remake of Death Game with Keanu Reeves and the Free Pizza Speech. Is it better or worse than the original Death Game? Does Keanu do sex? Donloyd now to find out. All this plus the JFD Halloween Hangover Report, Kwaidan chats, a secret blood oath regarding the new cinematic release The Lighthouse, a semi-censored junkmail from down under, a brief detour into Rancho Cucamonga, Parker pays personal tribute to Seth MacFarlane, is Clive Barker a Sex Creep? we decide 'yes', the fascinating filmography of an Avengers-based pornographer, our weekly news plus Blu-ray Picks and even more!

Happy Halloween to all our pals in Junk Food Dinner Land! It's everyone's favorite holiday so, this week we're throwing the ultimate Halloween shindig and every-bloody's in-bited! Up first, before directing Phantasm, Don Coscarelli directed this quaint PG tale about a pre-teen boy and his friends and slices from their lives leading up to Halloween in 1976's Kenny & Co. (using a lot of the same actors who would later appear in Phantasm). Then, we examine what many consider the ultimate heavy metal Halloween movie, Trick or Treat from 1986 about a young metalhead (Marc Price, AKA Skippy from Family Ties) who resurrects a dead metal musician from beyond the grave by playing his records backwards. And finally, we reevaluate Rob Zombie's directorial debut House of 1,000 Corpses from 2003, where a group of 20-somethings get kidnapped and tortured by a family of sadistic hillbillies. All this plus Sean Byron's baseball chat, Junk Mail about horror marathons, Nerd News, hate for Disney, Godzilla box sets, spooky noises, Halloween party tunes and so much more!

We're back with three more spooky Halloween short films! First, Tim Burton's tale of a young Frankenstein who loses his dog ... and brings him back from the dead. It's "Frankenweenie" from 1984! Next, a Swedish fan film sees a fun Halloween party get crashed by three slashers and a zombie in "The Resurrection of Michael Myers Part 2." Finally, we keep the Munster train a'rollin' with this reboot from the early 2010s that stars Jerry O'Connell and Eddie Izzard: Mockingbird Lane!
