Junk Food Dinner

This week, we're righting wrongs and saluting our patrons - that's right, it's your monthly Dom Deluise Club theme show, where we review three movies chosen by our listeners! Up first! It's last of the UPA/Toho collaborations, and the first/only semi-sequel to Frankenstein Conquers the World - of course, we're talking about 1966's War of the Gargantuas, the bizarre double-Frankenstein-themed kaiju (giant monster) feature from director Ishirō Honda (of original Godzilla fame). And you thought that original Mothra movie was weird! Shout-out to Kevin E for suggesting it! Next up! Eagle-eared and sharp-minded podcast listeners might recall a legendary gaffe made in the earliest days of this historic podcast, in which intrepid purveyor of film criticism Parker Bowman accidentally watched the wrong movie named Things, back on episode #87 (LISTEN HERE). So, this week Kevin and Sean will be reviewing Things from 1993, and Parker will finally get to share his musings on the 1989 Barry Gillis classic. Thanks Evan G for the suggestion! Finally! It's a third film: Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever (2009), which is one of those flesh-eating-bacteria-in-bottled-water-slowly-melts-the-occupants-of-a-highschool films. You know the type. The real goopy ones. And check out that soundtrack! Directed by Ti West, who tried (and failed) to Alan Smithee this joint. Kudos to Justin for sending it our way! All this plus more Dave Chappelle chat, alley-way film screenings, righting all the wrongs, revelations about Kevin Moss's text-messaging proficiency, fact-checking Dolemite biopic location accuracy, racist cat names, taking out the 'u', the tricky politics of modern film distribution, our weekly news plus Blu-ray Picks and even more!

Finally, an episode of JFD that feet sex perverts, British humour enthusiasts and tough-ass grandpas can all agree on! This week, everyone's talking about the new Tarantino flick and we're no exception. We have an exhaustive conversation on that and two other mildly related films, so strap in, it's going to be a long one. Up first, we dive head first into Quentin Tarantino's 9th film, the brand new Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie. A love letter to L.A. and 1969 about two aging buddies in the film industry and their fictional connection to the infamous Manson Family. How does it stack up to QT's other films? Is it shameless retro pandering? How many feet are in it? We find out. Then, we look at the film in which Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate met in real life, the 1967 horror-comedy The Fearless Vampire Killers. In this goofy tale, a bumbling vampire hunter (Jack MacGowran) and his equally bumbling assistant (Polanski) try to save a sexy young woman (Tate) from a regal blood sucker in snow-covered Transylvania. And finally, Lee Marvin and John "go fuck an iceberg" Vernon steal some cash from a crime organization on Alcatraz island, but Vernon double crosses Marvin and leaves him for dead and fucks off with not only the money but also his wife! Too bad for him and everyone else, Lee Marvin survives and comes back to get what's his (with a little help from Angie Dickinson) in Point Blank, also from 1967. All this, plus cereal chat, more complaints about paper straws, a whole slew of top notch voicemails, Nerd News, doc talk, this week's hottest discs and so much more!

We're back with three flicks from our Patreon Buddies! First, John Waters, Divine and the whole crew get sleazy and weird. Divine plays a freakshow performer with a violent streak in "Multiple Maniacs." Next, directed by the guy who brought us "Rambo" and "Weekend at Bernie's," comes "Wake in Fright" -- an Ozploitation classic about a teacher who devolves into a debaucherous creep while on Christmas break. Finally, Nick Cage plays a guy with some kind of accent in "Con Air." You know this movie. A bunch of actors you like are shirtless on a plane. All this plus news about the new Ghoul Summer shirt, apologies, threats, DVDs, Nerd News, Junk Mails, Rutger Hauer chat, a talking goat, Sweetman and so much more! Direct Donloyd

Rest easy, friends! We're all in much better hands this week - the Junk Food Dinner gang is being joined by the one and only Jason Frisbie to review yet another trio of weird films! Up first! It's the mud wrestling antics of horny old Ruth Gordon and her college student friends in 1985's Mugsy's Girls, an 80's sex comedy with an interestingly female perspective (plus: vintage Las Vegas hotel interiors!). Next up! We check in with our old friend Nicole Eggert (Baywatch) and see what kinda Barbed Wire esque adventures she can get up to (a year before Pam Anderson gets around to it), in The Demolitionist, from 1995. It's a RoboCop kind of a thing with a bit of Terminator and some other big sci-fi/action concepts thrown in, but cheaply. You might enjoy it. Directed by Robert Kurtzman! Finally! It's a third film: Reflections of Evil, Damon Packard's directorial debut, from 2002. This much heralded low-fi indie film has some cult movie critics proclaiming it to be a filmic equivalent of Merzbow (in a good way), while others are claiming it to be equivalent to Merzbow (in a bad way). Check it out for yourself or listen to what we thought of this noise. All this plus superior posters, scalin' back wild claims, Warhammer Chat, Fear and Loathing in Dad Vegas featuring: a much-awaited Kentucky Hot-Brown follow-up, forearm gravy, the only street in Fairborn Ohio, Rat People are the something of something else, the secret to Kevin's signature hair, listener junkmails from our goofy pals, background poochie, greasing the palms, 4 child-less men in their 30's discuss theme parks, background fist fights, clever meta-premises, a hankerin' for critters, our weekly news plus Blu-ray Picks and even more!

While Parker is out losing his shirt in some Vegas casino on an American Gladiators slot machine, Kevin and Sean are joined by our old brother Mark Freado to discuss three very different and very strange films. Up first, an american journalist in Japan comes in contact with a mad scientist who feels like he would be the perfect test subject for his latest experiment in The Manster from 1959. Then, we take an in depth look at various species of insects and find out why they will someday reclaim the Earth as their own in the 1971 Academy Award-winning documentary The Hellstrom Chronicle. And finally, what would happen if you mixed the Chinese hopping bloddsuckers from Mr. Vampire with the wacky African tribal antics of The Gods Must Be Crazy? We find out as we examine Crazy Safari from 1991. All this, plus talk about bull penises, Creature from the Black Lagoon chat, ghoulish voicemails, Nerd News, Blu-rays and so much more!

It's July-O this week, Junkies! We're joined by Derrick from Astro Radio Z, All the Gimmicks and the Podcast at Orgy Castle to discuss three Giallo movies so put on your mask, gloves and grab a bladed weapon! First, a fashion salon becomes the scene of a massacre in Mario Bava's "Blood and Black Lace." Next, an American writer witnesses an attempted murder and becomes obsessed with the case in Dario Argento's "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage." Finally, a park ranger sees his fashion model twin get killed in a psychic vision in "Nothing Underneath." All this plus Nerd News, surrealist bullshit, the perverts, leaving money on the table, baseball chat, DVDs, earthquake chat, Dario Sargento and so much more! Direct Donloyd.

This week, we return to the deep and largely untapped well of short films for an easy-breezy summertime celebration of friendship, podcasting, and weird videos! It's the perfect antidote to your July 4th hangover (combined with fluids, rest, and federally-regulated painkillers). Up first! It's the surprisingly violent first installment of the 1944 serialized drama version of Captain America, in which the Captain is for some reason a District Attorney in search of a vibrator. It's old-timey and weird and full of surprises that we chat all about. Next up! We check in with our old friend Saul Bass (director of Phase IV) and see what all the late sixties Oscar buzz was about in regards to his award-winning 1968 short documentary Why Man Creates. It's a somewhat ramshackle, fairly charming, and wholly unique little collection of brief segments loosely structured around creativity. Plus it's got that signature George Lucas visual style! Finally! It's a third short: Styx: Killroy Was Here, (aka Styx: Caught in the Act) the 1983 concept-concert-film that nearly killed the treasured rock & roll outfit Styx. Famed musical lunatic Dennis Deyoung masterminded this semi-racist Blade Runner-esque futuretale of the death of rock music, featuring the talents of the director of Poltergeist II and the director of the Making of Thriller, and some kind of allegory about domestic automobile manufacturing. How ridiculous is it? Very. All this plus a sweaty-journalism fuck-style theorem, an on-scene report from the filming locations of Jack Frost, a surprising return for Face to Face chat, Kevin Moss is Mister Roboto (he's skype-y this week), a look at major league pitching deficiencies in London, more or less Morlocks, partially drunken musings on the current state of affairs in the Blaxploitation world, Parker references Marvel movies, a Pupstar update, throwing shade at Babar the Elephant, shout out to Bosco sticks, our weekly news plus Blu-ray Picks and even more!

This week on JFD, gentlemen and ladies, the Patreon picks are all about the 80's. Up first, Steve Railsback is a Vietnam vet and fugitive on the run who stumbles onto the set of a World War I movie being made by Peter O'Toole, who offers him an opportunity to hide-out on his set if agrees to replace their stunt man who has recently died. While on the lamb Railsback learns a thing or two about stunt work and falls in love with the film's star played by Barbara Hershey in 1980's The Stunt Man. Then, John Cusack plays a high school kid obsessed with his girlfriend until she dumps him for the captain of the ski team, sending him into a suicidal funk until he meets the local French foreign exchange student played by Diane Franklin in Better Off Dead from 1985 directed by Savage Steve Holland. Finally, a horny college student dies after being hit by a car on his way back from buying a condom, but postpones the afterlife to hang around on Earth for a fews days as a ghost trying to get laid one last time before heading to the Great Beyond in 1985's School Spirit. All this plus witty banter between friends, we discuss the new Charles Play movie and Sean recounts his real life run-in with Young Charles, $27 plastic fork toys, Dom DeLuise vs Paul Prudhomme chat,  a call from our grandpa  and so much more.

We're back with a round of weird ass short films this week. First, we delve into a Tim Burton deep cut with one of his first films, "Hansel & Gretel" which was shown once or maybe twice on the Disney Channel and never screened for human eyes ever again. In it, Hansel and Gretel are Japanese and run afoul of a witch. Next, a behind the scenes look at a defining moment of the '80s -- "The Making of Michael Jackson's Thriller." In this, the King of Pop and the director of "The Stupids" make a scary commercial for the biggest album of all time. Finally, an evil space queen looks to take over Earth so she can have an outdated URL in "The Great Space Jam." This wacky movie was made in 48 hours by the RedLetterMedia dudes. All this, plus Fruit Chat, DVDs, Nerd News, Milkshake Chat, Nice voicemails, Straw Chat, other types of chat and so much more chat!

This week, we kick off the Summer of Sam (Raimi, that is)! So pack up the Oldsmobile and groove along with us to some classic jams from the slapstick indie genre darling of our youths! Up first! It's the semi-forgotten feature that Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell put together shortly after The Evil Dead and before its first sequel. Not a horror film, but more of a slapstick comedy slash film noir parody slash Looney Tunes live-action tribute slash murder mystery slash action movie, or something. Of course, we're talking about 1985's Crimewave, which by the way features a meaty role for character acting legend Brion James. Next up! It's Old Sam's take on Universal Monsters and Golden Age Superheroes, with a dash of Mission Impossible thrown in for fun. We're chatting of course about 1990's Darkman, the one about the guy with the burned face and the masks. Finally! It's a third movie: Army of Darkness, the 1992 feature that you might have heard a thing or two about. It's the final Evil Dead movie ever made or associated with that franchise, and once again stars Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams. But does it feature any deadites? All this plus for the love of old men, a Dave Chappelle update, a Bushwick Bill in memoriam, Kevin Moss reveals some Halloween staples in his house, no steamed hams (this time), a Ghoul Summer update in the form of an unsettling health update, a semi-ardent Švankmajer supporter, a steamin' heap of junkmail, Swamp Thing was a thing?, Parker claims there are too many DC Superhero movies being released, Parker Bowman tells us how he really feels about Steven Spielberg, we're sorry to Massacre Video for goofing on a movie they're releasing, the kinds of crime that Parker's into, our weekly news plus Blu-ray Picks!
