Junk Food Dinner

Greetings, Junkies. This week on JFD we've got three very different flicks featuring everything from bar fights with Joe Don Baker, leather daddies on the prowl and goofy vampire humor! Up first, Michael Douglas plays a young California professional who travels to a small town in Missouri for a relatives funeral and ends up sticking around to do manual labor with Joe Don Baker, find love and maybe, just maybe, find himself in Adam at Six A.M. from 1970 directed by Robert Scheerer. Then, Al Pacino plays a young cop who goes undercover in the underground BDSM subculture of New York City to find a serial killer who's targeting gay men in William Friedkin's Cruising from 1980. And finally, Jim Wynorski directs a silly horror movie parody about a guy (Steve Altman) and a girl (Teri Copley) who travel to "the old country" to find a relative and magical book that could awaken ancient spirits in the slapstick Transylvania Twist from 1989. All this plus witty banter between friends, Roky Erickson remembered, our thoughts on the new Godzilla movie, comic book movie crossovers, Robert Maplethorpe chat, and so much more.

We're back a round of Patreon Picks. We can always count on the patreons to pick the good shit. First, Crispin Glover, Keanu Reeves and other metalheads deal with the fact that their friend killed a girl. It's part "Stand by Me" part "Twin Peaks" and all bleak in "River's Edge." Next, a nice New York girl meets a homeless guy but there's one problem. Well, he's homeless, so I guess there's two problems. He's also a monster in "My Demon Lover." Finally, based on the NES game (sort of, I guess), Bimmy and Jimmy take on the T-1000 for the fate of New Angeles in "Double Dragon." All this plus "Brightburn" chat, "Akira" chat, Taika Waititi chat, voicemail, DVDs, Nerd News, A Vigilante and more! Direct Donloyd If you want to pick the movies, join us over at Patreon.

What's up, shorties? This week's menu features some well done bits of abbreviated cinema, a medium amount of technical glitches, and other rare occurences - including but not limited to the appearance of our Brother Mark Freado, the inclusion of a fourth film on the show, and most shockingly: two colons. That's right - this month's SHORT FILMS episode of JFD is here and ready to blow (those two colons)! Up first! Way back in the pre-9/11 days of yore, there was a charming and talented Frenchman named Georges Méliès. Way back around the turn of the century (no, that other century), this guy had the smart idea to throw the still-new-as-a-literary-genre concepts of Science Fiction up onto the silver screen. The result (among several hundred more) is of course 1902's A Trip to the Moon! Will this be the oldest movie JFD ever reviews? It seems likely. Watch here first and then listen along with us! Next up! It's the rarely-discussed 1982 British semi-documentary Arcade Attack: Silver Ball Heroes vs. Video Invaders,. It's a movie we've watched and you'll hear about it. I can tell you this now: it's got some killer animation, surprisingly. Also, look out for pinball related full-back tattoos! Watch here first and then listen along with us! And then! Did y'all know that Guillermo del Toro was making short films back in '87? I didn't, either. At least until we reviewed the weird/stylish Exorcist-esque Geometria from 1987 - and it was an eye-opener. You'd think we'd be satisfied with just this many reviews, but you'd be wrong! Watch here first and then listen along with us! Finally! It's a third movie: Trancers: City of Lost Angels, the 1988 short films from famed schlock master Charles Band. Originally produced as a segment for an unreleased anthology film (seems like a popular Band move), this thing's got Sarah Palmer from Twin Peaks in it! It might not actually have any Trancers, though - we can't really be sure. Watch here first and then listen along with us! All this plus an official Ghoul Summer update, Kevin hates John Wick, checkin' with the dead bodies in junkfooddinnerland, The Return of the Boob Scale (tm), Kevin is turned off by Fred Armisen, do the kids care at all about Mortal Kombat anymore?, a rundown of the classic novelizations of Shaft, Kevin hates Crank, Topsy the Elephant (cue the applause), science v wizardry, nose whistling, our weekly news plus Blu-ray Picks and you're still too slow!

Oh man, Junkies, we're back with another wacky week of random-ass films from the back isles of some forgotten video store. Up first, Frank Stallone plays the son of a recently deceased private eye who is on the run from the Mexican mob. When he finds himself in the small town of Beamsville, the whole town is engrossed by a pink meteor that has landed in the town and is causing all the women to become sex-crazed Amazonians in The Pink Chiquitas from 1987. Then, John Lithgow plays an oncologist with multiple personalities who is killing women and kidnapping children in a plot cooked up by his father (who may or may not also be a figment of his imagination) in Brian De Palma's Raising Cain from 1992. And finally, Chow Yun-Fat and Anthony Wong play a couple of low-level criminals who join up with a trio of eccentric and sadistic thugs to pull off one last big heist. The punches, bullets and explosions are plentiful in the over-the-top Full Contact from 1992. All this plus witty banter between friends, a slew of Junk Mail, sad Nerd News about Doris Day, the Honey I Shrunk the Kids re-make, this week's blu-rays and so much more.

Whoop Whoop, Juggalos! It's finally Violent May and we're joined by Mike from VRTL Pros and Border Boss to talk about three Insane Clown Posse movies! First, Shaggy and Jay provide commentary over a bootlegged tape of Japanese hardcore ghoul wrestling in "Stranglemania." Next, The insane clowns star in their own blaxploitation movie, co-starring Mick Foley, Rudy Ray Moore and the Jerky Boys, in "Big Money Hustlas." Finally, the wicked clowns prove they never die in the western homage "Big Money Hustlas" co-starring Jason Mewes and Ron Jeremy. All this, plus brand new Insane Kevin Posse tracks, ICP memories, Juggalo Origins, no nerd news, no DVDs, no junk mails, mmfjfdl!

Don't be too slow, Junk Food Junkies!! You gotta go fast with Sonic, Dario, Kevin, Rusty, Parker, Sean, Oliver and the gang! It's a wild and weird PATREON-Picked episode this week! Up first! Way back in the pre-9/11 days of yore, there was a movie called The Devils from 1971. A surprisingly high quotient of naked nuns (including Vanessa Redgrave) get mixed up in a plot to banish high-priest (Oliver Reed) from the church, and commit loads of sexual blasphemies along the way. Considering what really happens in real-world Christianity [note: 1], this is considered by some [note: 2] to be a refreshingly optimistic take on the church. Thanks to Chris B for picking it! [note 1: child rape; note 2: parker bowman] Next up! It's the rarely-discussed 1982 (or 80-something, at least) Canadian (or Canadian-American, at least) semi-slasher Superstition, (or The Witch, sometimes). It's a movie we've watched and you'll hear about it. I can tell you this now: it's got some killer kill scenes. The rest is maybe a blur already. Thanks to Andreas for picking it! Finally! It's a third movie: Opera, the 1987 feature from famed Italian horror master Dario Argento. This is one everyone's been requesting for just about forever, so let us just say we're very sorry. Thanks to Luke/Josh for picking it! All this plus perhaps too much discussion of the last episode of Game of Thrones, a surprising lack of Sonic trailer reactions, Avengers Endgame stuff, oversized book confessions, trading some times, oh: Blob Zombie?, a summary of British basketball players historical and current, more Avengers Endgame stuff, a Parker Bowman cosplay update, police humor, Sean thought she was suckin' on it, Free Dummy, our weekly news plus Blu-ray Picks and you're still too slow!

Break out your basketball shorts because this week the JFD crew keeps it brief with three short films!   Up first, in 1969 Jim Henson directed a surreal hour-long episode of  NBC Experiment in Television titled The Cube about a man trapped in a plain white room where various visitors attempt to drive him insane. Then, in 1988, after the cancelation of the TV show Night Flight, Stuart Shapiro released Impact Video Magazine, a VHS compilation of music performances, stand-up comedy and weird film shorts, including Alex Winter's Bar-B-Que Movie (AKA Entering Texas), a super 8 home movie about a family on vacation who run afoul of The Butthole Surfers. And finally, we take a look at Trent Duncan's 2013 fan film Freddy vs Jason vs Ash about a couple girls terrorized by three horror movie icons in the woods of Florida. All this plus witty banter between friends, a slew of Junk Mail, news about James Wan, all the upcoming Stephen King adaptations you can handle, this week's blu-rays and so much more.

We're back to normal this week! Kevin and OK audio quality and all! We're joined by author Mike "McBeardo" McPadden to discuss his new book, Teen Movie Hell to discuss three teen sex comedies covered in the book. First, two up-and-coming teenage cops get into wacky sexy hijinx in the James Hong-directed "Teen Lust" (aka "The Girl Next Door") from 1978. Next, a group of foxes go into business for themselves in 1981's "Lunch Wagon." Will their food truck business succeed or will the evil food truck business stop them? Finally, Jeremy Piven, David Spade and Megan Ward star in the crystal ball, ahead of its time flick, "PCU." Does it hold up or will we cancel it? All this plus Junk Mails, Kevin's Cinema Wasteland Roundup, Teen Movie Hell Chat and so much more! But not DVDs or Nerd News.

What happens when three dishelved, irritated podcasters are trapped in a never-ending episode of Junk Food Dinner filled with trap-like technical issues, without even the calming professionalism of Kevin Moss (out on vacation, presumably in Boston)? Well, the results are here and they're not pretty. At least we've got the talents of professional podcaster Mike Dikk (of Cigarette News, Retro Food Ghoul, VRTL Pros, Kissing Contest, and Border Boss fame) to compensate for all of the computer-based failures this Escape-ril episode contains. Oh, and the movies? We kick off the first ever Escape-ril in the only ways that make any sense at all: with the first entries of the Cube, Saw, and Collector franchises! Help us break free by donloyding now!! Up first! A perhaps undersung gem of the torture-porn subgenre of horror flicks, or just some cheap Canadian sleaze? We take a look at CUBE from 1997! Next up! Somehow Kevin Moss has escaped our review of the much-discussed but never-reviewed SAW from 2004! Finally! Mike Dikk brings us THE COLLECTOR, a Saw-like film from 2009, for reasons he'll explain very clearly! All this plus another charmingly ramshackle introduction by amateur podcaster Parker Bowman, an immediate call-out of Kevin Moss and his sleepiness status, seasonal baseball chat from your favorite American podcasters, lots of theories and musings as to why Kevin is averse to Saw films, we read actual electronic mails with our eyeballs, Parker revealingly describes two boobs as "less than average", Sean's new catchphrase "that's not spaghetti!", unprecedented levels of technical difficulties, a modicum of wrestlechats (including requests for dead wrestlers), oh man this technology is getting difficult with us, Redbox reportage, Mike identifies his other podcasts by name and describes their content in general terms, Parker continues to avoid Ulthar's transnational touring company, god damnit this audio is broken, aliens versus cubes, the early strangulation death of John-o (is it Jon-oh?), Parker declares the reverse bear trap in Saw "the coolest fucking shit in the world", Sean literally curses this episode by complaining about the audio quality on Mike's own Saw podcast episode (or maybe it's Saw itself that is cursing us??), minor-key nose whistling, our weekly news plus Blu-ray Picks and a whole lot more!

This week on Junk Food Dinner we left our movie picks up to the Patreon donors and the cruel hand of the Randomizer 5000 and ended up with three very different movies. Up first, is the 1971 Russian science fiction classic Solaris. This film about an astronaut suffering from space madness is considered a masterpiece by fans of weighty, arty sci-fi but will Andrei Tarkovsky's aggressively slow pacing be too much for the JFD boys? Then, Lance Henriksen summons a demon to get revenge on the teens who accidentally killed his son in Stan Winston's special effects heavy horror flick Pumpkinhead from 1988. And finally, a post-hardcore emo band made up of Brits and Midwesterners move to L.A to make it big, but when things don't go as planned they make a deal with The Devil (Malcolm McDowell) to become mega-stars. But like all Faustian deals, things don't go as expected in American Satan from 2017. All this plus witty banter between friends, a slew of Junk Mail, news about Young Charles, critiques of Nicholas Cage's clothing choices, this week's blu-rays and so much more.
