Zombie Take-Out: The b-movie and cult movie podcast

Scotto and Uncle John discuss the latest in a series of science fiction, disaster parody movies that have been taking a bite out of every summer since 2013. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 2017, Sharknado 5: Global Swarming. Was the plot too thin? Does a Sharknado movie even need a plot? Who had the best cameo? Is it possible to even recognize all of the cameos at this point? Should Greg Louganis and Jeffery Combs do a movie together? Semper paratus.

Scotto and Uncle John sort of return to the world of Troma and subtly comment on recent events by discussing a film that mixes surfing, World War II, The Warriors and maybe even a bit of West Side Story. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1987, Surf Nazis Must Die. Were there too many surfing montages? Was she his mother or his grandmother? Why was Adolph's mustache so big?

Scotto and Uncle John pay tribute to the late, great Powers Boothe by discussing a movie that has a great cast, a complicated plot and a missing reel. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1984, A Breed Apart. Why didn't the movie get more press? Was it more inspired by a Monty Python sketch or Apocalypse Now. Does it seem more '70s than '80s? What happens to an egg collection over time?

Scotto and Uncle John pay tribute to the late, great Roger Moore by discussing one of the few Bond films that really fits into their wheelhouse. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1979, Moonraker. Does it seem like it was made in the 1960s? Was the skydiving fight real? Why did Drax have a generic European accent? How could a 50 year old Roger Moore be a ladies man?

Scotto and Uncle John pay tribute to the late, great George A. Romero by discussing what was his favorite and might very well be the best of his films. A movie about a young vampire without fangs or an aversion to sunlight, garlic or crosses. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1978, Martin. Did Martin really need to drink blood? Was he an actual vampire or just a troubled kid? Was superstition the real problem?

Scotto and Uncle John return from their vacation with the long-awaited conclusion to their 2000 two-parter. A film that features a great supporting cast and mixes Mad Max with '50s kitsch and the inimitable acting prowess of Melanie Griffith. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1987, Cherry 2000. Did the romantic subplot fit the movie? Which now famous actor has a cameo in it? Did the plane have a propeller? What can't you do with a toaster oven?

Scotto and Uncle John are joined by special guest Jen Miller to discuss a movie that combines the dystopia of Rollerball, shock and gore aesthetics of Troma, the quality control of Roger Corman and the plot of Hanna–Barbera's Wacky Racers. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1975, Death Race 2000. Should it have had more gore? Was Mrs. Pander's name too on the nose? Was it the first dystopian film? Do Americans love fascists? Can a k-turn be dramatic? Three, sir.

Scotto and Uncle John return to the world of anime with thoroughly weird film that truly sums up WTF, Japan. A film about walking fish who attack Japan on insect-like, mechanical legs, the horrible smell that accompanies them, the mad scientist who tries to 'stop' them and pipes that go into really unfortunately places. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 2012, Gyo: Tokyo Fish Attack. Did it influence Sharknado? Were too many changes made to the source material? What was the point of the circus? What's that smell?

Scotto and Uncle John review their first Keanu Reeves movie, a '90s cyberpunk film that revels in the cliches of both the era and the genre and features appearances from two "actors" who are far better known for their music. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1995, Johnny Mnemonic. Is it the A Bridge Too Far of bad acting? Is Keanu the William Shatner of his generation? Was the ending too bizarre? Did the chainmail shirt pinch? No whoa?
