This valley may or may not include an ancient evil hell bent on consuming all who make the valley their home. Come for the horror, stay for the high weirdness.

We end You've Never September, this year focusing on sketch comedy films, with the grandaddy of them all, the biggest sketch comedy film to come out the height of the genre's popularity: Amazon Women of the Moon. Noise Junkies' Father Malone is here to finish out the month along with heaping praise on every single part of the film.

Starring a who's who of '70s and '80s actors, the film is once again a loosely connected series of sketches all emulating watching a cheesy sci-fi film on television along with parodying the film as well. It's as fun as it sounds and distills everything this month into one singular film.

We near the end of You've Never September, this year focusing on sketch comedy films, with an example of what happens when too much of a good thing is a good thing with Mr. Mike's Mondo Video. Noise Junkies' Father Malone is here to talk about the film's tone, Michael O'Donoghue's style, and '80s SNL.

Starring a veritable who's who of early SNL players, the film ping pongs from absurd idea to uncomfortable sketch with a hostile energy only Michael O'Donoghue could provide. While it doesn't work consistently, there are some truly bright moments stuck between some real drawn-out clunkers.

We continue off You've Never September, this year focusing on sketch comedy films, with one yet another early example of what some of the hottest minds in '80s comedy were up to in the '70s: The Kentucky Fried Movie. Noise Junkies' Father Malone and Mondo Heather's Heather Drain stop by to talk about the film's tone, John Landis, and what Zukkums would do after this classic.

Starring mostly players from the Kentucky Fried Theater along with some recognizable faces from the '70s, it features a loosely connected series of vignettes sending up classic tv, genre films of the day, and some truly subversive originals.

We kick off You've Never September, this year focusing on sketch comedy films, with one of the earliest examples of where sketch comedy would be going in the following decades including with one of the genres big names, The Groove Tube. Noise Junkies' Father Malone, 'Night Mr Walter's HP, and Mondo Heather's Heather Drain stop by to talk about Chevy Chase, the film's lack of laughs, and how it influenced SNL.

Starring Chevy Chase, Ken Shapiro, and Richard Belzer, the film ping pongs around eighteen disparate sketchs lampooning television, commercials, politicians, and everything in between. It's a wild jaunt through mid-'70s television that sets the stage for so many things to come.

We end Patreon August, this year focusing on Mickey Rourke, with a film we were'nt intially covering but hey, when friends make suggestions, you listen: The Pope of Greenwich Village. Noise Junkies' Father Malone programs the episode and stops by along with Rankin' on Bass's Richard Hatem to talk about Rourke's peformance, the film's tone, and the subtextual homoeroticism.

Starring Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts as two cousins, the two butt heads and grapple with their place in the mob-adjacent hierarchy of mid-'80s Greenwich Village. Along the way, lye is drunk, thumbs are removed, and Eric Roberts emotes like he owes someone money.
