Podcasting After Dark - Cult Movies and TV Shows

The Howling (1981) synopsis: “After a bizarre and near deadly encounter with a serial killer, a television newswoman is sent to a remote mountain resort whose residents may not be what they seem.”

Starring: Dee Wallace, Patrick Macnee, Christopher Stone, and Robert Picardo
Director: Joe Dante

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey breakdown and review Joe Dante’s The Howling! Released the same year as American Werewolf in London, it’s hard not making comparisons between the two iconic werewolf films, especially since they were both critically well received and featured jaw-dropping transformation scenes. Of course, only one of these two movies has an absolute stacked cast, including Slim Pickens and Robert Picardo in his first movie role, and that’s the one the boys are reviewing today!

A huge THANK YOU to Cam for selecting The Howling for us to review via our highest Patreon tier! You can listen to Cam on The Jacked Up Review Show Podcast - Apple Podcasts / Spotify / Instagram

Chico and the Man (1974-78) - YouTube
…Where’s Rodney? (1990) - YouTube
Bless This House (1995-96) - YouTube

This month on Podcasting After Dark presents TV Obscura, Zak, Corey, and Diallo review three sitcoms that were vehicles for comedians! It’s a tried and true television trope that’s still going strong today. In this case, one show was infinitely more successful than the other two, but was also the most tragic off-set. The boys get into all the highs and lows of Chico and the Man, …Where’s Rodney?, and Bless This House!

Demon Wind (1990) synopsis: “With the need to investigate the mysterious death of his grandparents, Cory and his friends assemble back to the old farm where it all began, sixty years earlier.”

Starring: Eric Larson, Francine Lapensée, Sherry Leigh, and Stephen Quadros
Director: Charles Philip Moore

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey breakdown and review Demon Wind! Sure the movie is low-budget and pretty darn silly, but it has a lot of charm, the effects are great, and Dell (played by Bobby Johnston) is a goddamn beefcake! Demon Wind is the perfect movie to watch with friends while kicking back some beers and burning some joints! What more do you want from a video store cult classic?

A huge THANK YOU to Crystal for suggesting we review Demon Wind via our Patreon page! Her previews picks were Christmas Bloody Christmas, Deathstalker, My Bloody Valentine, Intruder, and The Monster Squad!

Director: Brian Taylor

On this bonus episode of Podcasting After Dark, co-host Corey is joined by Diallo to review Hellboy: The Crooked Man, the latest entry in the Hellboy franchise! This mini-review isn’t very “mini” because the boys had a lot to say about Hellboy in general, comic books, and what happens when creatives are given too much freedom. Hope you enjoy the discussion!
