September 06, 2024 The Caller (with Alix Austin and Keir Siewert)
The filmmaking couple behind Switchblade Cinema, Alix Austin and Keir Siewert, join us for one of the absolute strangest Empire movies out there: THE CALLER, a sparse two-hander that feels like a filmed play! Starring Malcolm McDowell and Madolyn Smith, THE CALLER is twisty and ambitious swing for Band and company, but is it different enough to truly stand out?

August 30, 2024 Zone Troopers (with Podcasting After Dark)
Corey Stevenson and Zak Shaffer from the great Podcasting After Dark join the platoon this week for the Bilson and DeMeo-scripted pulp serial treat ZONE TROOPERS! The movie is a gleeful genre mashup (think E.T. meets the Howling Commandos and you're halfway there), featuring a cast full of holdovers from TRANCERS and a great, tongue-in-cheek sense of humor.

August 23, 2024 Spellcaster (with Justin Martell and Seager Dixon)
Filmmakers and writers Justin Martell and Seager Dixon join us this week as we explore the campy magical horror film SPELLCASTER! The film was shot in 1986 and was banking on the popularity of its star, New Wave rocker Adam Ant, but the film wasn't released until late 1992, and went largely unseen. Is it worth gazing into your crystal ball to find a copy?

August 16, 2024 Cinderella / Fairy Tales (with Michael Gingold)
An offshoot of the mid-70s "porno chic" era, the "erotic musical comedy based on public domain stories" subgenre remains one of the weirdest fads in film history, and Charles Band was there on the ground floor. This week, we're talking about two of his earliest projects, the ribald erotic comedies CINDERELLA and FAIRY TALES! We're joined by writer, filmmaker, and exploitation film historian Michael Gingold to dig deep into some truly jaw-dropping motion pictures.

August 09, 2024 Breeders / Robot Holocaust / Mutant Hunt (with Jed Shepherd)
Filmmaker and writer Jed Shepherd (HOST) joins us this week for a trilogy of films from a true visionary: Tim Kincaid. The 80's shlockmeister attempted to graduate from pornography into mainstream filmmaking with a trio of Wizard Video releases that truly defy description and just have to be seen to be believed. Whether it's the sleazy alien thrills of BREEDERS, the insane fantasy of ROBOT HOLOCAUST, or the bizarre post-apocalyptic robot battling of MUTANT HUNT, these films are sure to drop some jaws.

August 02, 2024 Parasite 3D (with Phil Nobile, Jr.)
Though it's largely forgotten today, PARASITE was a crucial launching point for a lot of very important careers, not the least of which was Charles Band himself. Band teamed up with some future visionaries (SFX artist Stan Winston, star Demi Moore) to attempt to revitalize the 3D movement, and for a few years they nearly succeeded! We're thrilled to be joined by Fangoria editor-in-chief Phil Nobile, Jr. to dig into this slimy, oddly post-apocalyptic thriller.

July 26, 2024 Bloodlust: Subspecies III / Vampire Journals (with Michael Varrati)
It's time for the next chapter of our SUBSPECIES retrospective! Michelle and Radu's journey continues with BLOODLUST: SUBSPECIES III, shot at the same time as the acclaimed second film. Then, we're looking at VAMPIRE JOURNALS, the series spin-off that may just be the best-looking Full Moon movie, period. Michael Varrati is back on the show to help us sort through Ted Nicolaou's Romanian vampire saga.

July 19, 2024 Dark Angel: The Ascent (with Cecil Trachenburg)
Cecil Trachenburg is back this week as our cinematic tour of Eastern Europe continues, this time with the surprisingly smart and elegant DARK ANGEL: THE ASCENT! Starring model Angela Featherstone as a rise demon who becomes an earthly avenger, the film is one of Full Moon's more accomplished early efforts.
