In this minisode, we do another special editions/director's cut versions overview and this time it's over A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 5 & 6.

For Elm Street 5, we mention scenes from the Unrated Cut which was never restored past its VHS release. For Part 6, we discuss all 4 versions: the theatrical, home video, workprint & UPN TV edit.

Do any of these change the infamy associated with these cult movie sequels or are there some gems worth seeking out here?

What happens when you mash-up GROUNDHOG's DAY with SCREAM? You get mixed results at best!

What do these slasher dark comedies get right and what do they get (mostly) wrong?

Is Bear McCreary's score worth a listen on its own merit?

Is anyone noteworthy here or do they essentially all become variations of the same kind of cliche characters this genre is known for?

All that and more summaries during Slasher September!

Before The Asylum became the main production outlet for SyFy Channel Original Movies, they were coming up with even quirkier low-budget B-movie material.

I sum up the Killer Scarecrow trilogy, some surprisingly then-unknown and genre favorite actors who make cameos and the other shenanigans that entail in this film (all inbetween whacky reactions)!

We conclude the week with this awesome re-edit where my 3 incredible guests and I conclude the highlights, fight scenes, dramatic reveals & social commentary on Showtime's edgy show RAY DONOVAN.

Our Well-Worded Guests:

Tara Jabbari (Who Was She?, Mediamaker Spotlight)

Katie  Geilenkirchen (Retromade Podcast, One More Round)

Hal Rudnick (Screen Junkies, Upright Citizen's Brigade)

Patricia Highsmith is both a terrible person and a great author who's Tom Ripley character was adapted into so many different movies and recently a Netflix mini-series.

Here, I get to do an overview of the different portrayals of the character as well as why this con artist turned murderer is so endlessly fascinating to see adapted!

To continue the Gangster themed week, author Corey Danna, blogger Fred Andersson & HK movie fanatic Mark Shaver all enter the recording studio!

Why was Jackie Chan's STUNTMASTER the ultimate experimental PS1 videogame for both gamers and his established fanbase?

Why was Jet Li's RISE TO HONOR the ultimate send-up of both his HK and U.S. movies while mixing in some MATRIX and John Woo tropes?

Did either game have some neat button combos or did they mainly benefit from word-of-mouth recommends by fans?

OTHER SHOW NOTES:

*Mark better details the fighting mechanics, motion capture graphics & what a collector's item the Jackie Chan videogame is

*Mark also shares trivia on how Rise to Honor's Cantonese dialogue was overdubbed and the background on the game's setting

*Mark brings up some other obscure Jackie Chan games (as well as an infamous Bruce Lee game) that showed how licenses for these Action hero icons evolved overtime in the industry and the continual mix of rap music with Kung Fu scenarios in the videogames

*And Corey also brings up other cool Hong Kong trivia & other John Woo/Chou-Yun Fat stories including how he was at the premiere of The Replacement Killers!

I do a fun expose on the Brazillian crime epics CITY OF GOD (a rightful award-winner) and its like-it-or-hate-it sequel CITY OF MEN from five years later.

What other relevant projects have the filmmakers worked on since?

Is the TV show streaming anywhere?

And why do so many love the dark comedy & GOODFELLAS inspired narration in the original gem of a film?

Get ready to steal that night!

Teacher/Actress Gloria Jean Robertson stops by this lively interview!
