Podcasting After Dark - Cult Movies and TV Shows

Knockabout (1979) synopsis: “Two brothers and small time crooks Yipao and Taipao convince a martial arts expert to take them on as students, completely oblivious to his sordid past.”

Starring: Yuen Biao, Ka-Yan Leung, Chia-Yung Liu, and Karl Maka
Director: Sammo Hung

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review the kung-fu cult classic, Knockabout! A truly jaw-dropping piece of cinema from the mind of Sammo Hung, and it’s Yuen Biao’s first leading role. Also, Knockabout is Zak and Corey’s first true “karate man” movie on PAD, as Eddie Murphy would say in Trading Places lol! I mean, yes, they covered Hard Target and Cyborg, but this is on a whole other level, martial arts wise.

A huge THANK YOU to Paulette for selecting Knockabout for us to review via our Patreon page! If you would like us to breakdown one of your favorite films, consider signing up to our highest tier!

The Gate (1987) synopsis: “Kids left home alone accidentally unleash a horde of malevolent demons from a mysterious hole in their suburban backyard.”

Starring: Stephen Dorff, Christa Denton, Louis Tripp, and Carl Kraines
Director: Tibor Takács

This week on Podcasting After Dark, the boys review The Gate! A movie Zak has been talking about bringing to PAD since they first started doing the show, and Corey, a first-time viewer, was not let down at all! The Gate is a fantastic kid-friendly cult horror movie that still holds up in 2024, especially the minions! And we aren’t talking about the yellow guys from Despicable Me lol!

We kick off the first episode of 80s Kids Unite with Garbage Pail Kids! Zak, Dustin, Corey, and Diallo all discuss their familiarity (or lack thereof) with the disgusting trading cards Topps began printing in 1985, and whether or not they hold up nostalgically! The boys also talk about the terrible 1987 film based on the brand. A huge THANK YOU to Patreon member, Magdalena for suggesting this one!

80s Kids Unite is a monthly Two Dollar Late Fee / Podcasting After Dark crossover show powered by our Patreon members!

The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue aka Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (1974) synopsis: “A cop chases two hippies suspected of a series of Manson family-like murders; unbeknownst to him, the real culprits are the living dead, brought to life with a hunger for human flesh by ultrasonic radiation being used for pest control.”

Starring: Cristina Galbó, Ray Lovelock, Arthur Kennedy, and Jeannine Mestre
Director: Jorge Grau

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue! Yes, the film has other names, a lot of them, in fact, but this is the one the boys know it as so that’s what we’re calling it lol! Now that we got that out of the way, Zak and Corey are really excited to breakdown and review, Manchester Morgue. A film that both hosts love because, like Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things, it inhabits and interesting time in zombie movie history: A time before all the rules were really locked in by George Romero with Dawn of the Dead in 1978.

Android (1982) synopsis: “A strange doctor secretly experiments with androids on his space station. His assistant is Max, a curious android who wants to see the world and meet a girl. Criminals hide on their station and soon violence erupts.”

Starring: Klaus Kinski, Don Keith Opper, Brie Howard, and Norbert Weisser
Director: Aaron Lipstadt

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review Android! A Roger Corman produced film that’s so much better than it has any right to be. And if you think Don Keith Opper only plays dimwitted handymen, like he did in Critters, then you are in for a surprise! He’s a tour de force in Android, and that says a lot considering he’s co-starring with Klaus Kiniski!

Hey, PADsters! Here’s the audio from the 80s Kids Unite panel that Corey, Zak, and Diallo from Podcasting After Dark & TV Obscura did with Dustin Rubin and Paul London from Two Dollar Late Fee & Territory Marks! It was a packed house and a great crowd. We cleaned up the audio the best we could but it was recorded in an open room so don’t expect studio-quality sound lol!

This also serves as an introduction to a new monthly series that will be dropping on both the PAD and Two Dollar Late Fee feeds called, you guessed it, 80s Kids Unite! Not only will the gang be talking about their favorite stuff from that decade but Patreon members can submit suggestions too! So, if you are a member to either account (you don’t have to be a member of both, though we know a lot of you are) then swing over and let us know what you want the boys to discuss on upcoming episodes of 80s Kids Unite!

Body Parts (1991) synopsis: “After losing his arm in a car accident, a criminal psychologist has it replaced with a limb that belonged to a serial killer.”

Starring: Jeff Fahey, Lindsay Duncan, Zakes Mokae, and Brad Dourif
Director: Eric Red

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review Eric Red’s Body Parts starring Jeff Fahey! A truly underrated horror/thriller from the early 90s, and a movie the boys are more than happy to cover on the show. With a stellar cast and awesome effects, Body Parts should please both the gore hounds and the lovers of fine cinema equally. You can quote us on that!

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

Elves (1989) synopsis: “A young woman discovers that she is the focus of an evil Nazi experiment involving selective breeding and summoned elves, an attempt to create a race of supermen. She and two of her friends are trapped in a department store with an elf, and only Dan Haggerty, as the renegade loose-cannon Santa Claus, can save them.”

Starring: Dan Haggerty, Julie Austin, Deanna Lund, and Borah Silver
Director: Jeffrey Mandel

Merry Christmas! This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review Elves! This might be the darkest holiday movie the boys have covered on the show to date, and that’s saying a lot considering they’ve reviewed both Silent Night, Deadly Night parts 1 and 2! What makes Elves so much worse (but equally awesome) you ask? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Leave a comment on our social media pages or Patreon and let us know what you think of this episode or the movie itself. We always love hearing from our listeners!
