Second Class Cinema: The B-Movie Experience

Greetings, citizens!

We are super excited today because boy, do we have a bonus episode for you... 

As most of you know, Samurai Cop is a much beloved and revered flick here at Second Class Cinema. We covered it in one of our earliest episodes over a year ago, and just recently we viewed and discussed the much-anticipated sequel, Samurai Cop II: Deadly Vengeance.

Deadly Vengeance was total shlock-madness that left us with a ton of questions. So I guess we were pretty lucky that Samurai Cop himself, Mathew Karedas, offered to chat with us and answer our many questions about this crazy piece of cinema. 

Matt took us on a complete tour of making this movie- discussing everything from how he came to be Samurai Cop in Amir Shirvan’s original picture, to rising from the dead, to what it was like working with Tommy Wiseau. His hilarious anecdotes on the funding/filming/release (and beyond) has given us so much insight into the blood, sweat and pure insanity that made this movie possible. 

It was truly a pleasure doing this interview and we can't thank Matt enough for chatting with us at length about his awesome role in B-movie history.

On this week's episode, we allowed Aaron to bring a movie on for us to watch! So he went on eBay and purchased Deathstalker IV: Match of the Titans on VHS for $24.99. And then he brought it over for us to watch. Heed the warning and apologies if this is your first listen to us.

We celebrated Erik's birthday with his most recent pick, the 1986 action movie Never Too Young To Die! We follow Lance Stargrove as he transitions from meek college gymnast to full-blown action hero in just over 90 minutes. There was a lot of jaw-dropping, a lot of rewinding, and an overall sense satisfaction from watching this movie from beginning to end. What did you think of this movie?

This episode was a close call folks.  It was Tom's pick this week and he almost had to do this whole episode by himself. We watched the crimer/thriller movie "Inhumanity" from 2001 that Tom procured at the Bargain City Galleria! What's unfortunate about this situation is, it's typically best if the listener has watched the movie before listening OR that there's some interest in the movie at all before listening to the episode, and sadly neither are the case for this particular endeavor. I honestly don't know how you'd get a copy because it sure isn't worth the investment, nor would I assume anyone outside of the filmmakers family has seen this movie. But gosh darnit if it isn't our job to watch and immediately discuss. So we did.

It was Brittany's pick this week and she is absolutely tired of watching everyone else's GARBAGE picks so she picked something interesting. We watched the 2015 comedy horror movie The Final Girls! Big surprise Brittany picks a horror/comedy movie but hey who's counting? We have special guest Taryn come on to help us talk about this a-movie disguised as a b-movie.

We were VERY excited to watch Erik's pick this week.  He just recently bought this on bluray and considering we watched Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance a few weeks ago, it was time for us to watch Deadliest Prey, the sequel to Deadly Prey that came out 27 years later.  We did a compare and contrast to Samurai Cop 2 and Deadly Prey whilst expressing our successes and failures. Tune in and listen to us discuss aaaaaall these deadly dads.

It was Tom's pick this week and he picked the babelicious action flick, 1990's Guns directed Andy Sidaris!  This isn't our first rodeo with an Andy Sidaris movie, but this is our first venture of his for the show. If you like babes, breasts, blondes, boobs, bimbos, brunettes, bosoms and LADIES, then this is certainly a movie that may or may not pique your interest. Find out how much it piqued our interests among other things!

Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama. 1989. That's what we watched this week. This horror/fantasy/comedy was picked by Brittany, if you couldn't already tell. Brittany's sister Taryn (Tee) comes on to join us for this one.  We also tried to watch Dollman vs Demonic Toys and we discuss that on this episode as well. How does this compare to the other horror/comedy movies that we've watched? Listen up as we try and piece the puzzle together that is this movie.

We bring in the new year with a movie Aaron told us about, a new Drafthouse release called Dangerous Men! After watching the trailer, it was clear we needed to watch it.  After copious amounts of tequila, we discussed this very strange picture.

Check out the trailer here!

It’s been a great year on Second Class Cinema and for our last episode of the year, we did a group pick! We are big fans of the original Samurai Cop so it was time to finally dive in to Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance. Earlier in the day we watched the original Samurai Cop, and after watching the sequel, we go over our reactions to it and draw parallels between the original and the sequel. Special guest Tyler returns for his third episode in a row to help us with this one.

You can rent in on Vimeo here! Is it worth the $8.99? Find out and listen!
