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

Scotto and Uncle John return, after a year and a half, to one of the most infamous franchises in both cinematic and video game history to have a very similar conversation to the last time they discussed one of these movies. Shouldn't they have learned by now? This week on Zombie Take-Out, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. Is it really the last movie of the series? Could it possibly be boring? Shouldn't Scotto know better by now than to expect a Resident Evil movie to be good?

Scotto and Uncle John pay tribute to the late, great Jonathan Demme by discussing his directorial debut, a women in prison film that tries to do things a little differently, but also falls back on a lot of cliches and shower scenes ... lots and lots of shower scenes. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1974, Caged Heat. What was the point of all of the weird audio cues? Were the exploding pickle jars intended to be an innuendo? Should the warden have had a German accent? Were there too many shower scenes? Could there ever possibly be too many shower scenes? Rest in peace, Mr. Demme.

Scotto and Uncle John pay tribute to the late Erin Moran by discussing a movie that they already had on their list. A science fiction film that mixes torturous mediocrity with some of the most batshit insane scenes that they have ever seen on screen. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 2001, Galaxy of Terror. Are there any cliches that weren't included? Did it influence Aliens and Evil Dead? Is Erin Moran's last scene the performance of her career? Did Sid Haig make the right choice? Should Zalman King have stuck to acting? RIP, Ms. Moran.

Scotto and Uncle John conclude their moral panic trilogy by returning to the world of Ed Wood to discuss his second most infamous film. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1953, Glen or Glenda. Was the movie for or against transvestism? Was it better than Plan 9 fro Outer Space? Was Bela Lugosi's character supposed to be God? Beware the green dragon!

Scotto and Uncle John continue their moral panic trilogy by discussing a classic b-movie that is so notoriously bad that it was first mocked just a few years after it was released. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1936 or 1938 or 1939, Reefer Madness. Is it a better unintentional comedy than The Room? Does a place of ill repute need prostitution? Where was the public defender? What was up with the sudden, random eyes? Hahahahahahahahaha!

Scotto and Uncle John kick off their moral panic trilogy with an early '80s tv movie about D&D and LARPing that starred a young Tom Hanks. Unfortunately, it was an early '80s tv movie. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1982, Mazes and Monsters. Was it more of an indictment of D&D, LARPing or bad parenting? What happened to Hat Guy's depression? What was with all of the hats? Did they really need to use that horrible song three times? A cleric with a sword?

Scotto and Uncle John discuss the feature film adaption of a video game franchise that, like many others, pits orcs against humans, but unlike it's predecessors, shows both sides of the conflict. A game that Uncle John has been playing for almost a decade, so he isn't even going to pretend to be objective about the movie. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 2016, Warcraft. Are orcs overused in fantasy fiction? Was the Hulk based on an orc? Are the changes the movie makes to the lore an improvement? Is it the greatest video game of all time? For The Alliance!

Mazes and Monsters

Scotto and Uncle John discuss a film that gives a fantastical, fictionalized account of the events that inspired two of the most iconic works of genre fiction ever written. One about a mad scientist whose creation has become an icon and whose name has become an adjective and one that took a monster from Eastern European folklore and put a twist on it that has defined said monster to this day. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1986, Gothic. Should the movie have had more of a plot? Was Thomas Dolby's score out of place? Was Gabriel Byrne ever young?

Scotto and Uncle John pay tribute to the late, great Don Rickles by discussing an early '70s heist film, masquerading as a war film, that could have been a commentary on the Vietnam War. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1970, Kelly's War. Should it have been more dramatic or more comedic? Would it have been better with the deleted scenes? Should even more scenes have been cut from it? Should they have given Harry Dean Stanton a larger role? What kind of accent was Donald Sutherland doing? RIP, you hockey puck.

Scotto and Uncle John conclude their two-part tribute to the late, great Chuck Barris by discussing the film adaptation of his memoir, in which he makes a very unusual claim. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 2002, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Was the spy story true? Was it too much like fiction? Was he just trolling us? Was it just a metaphor or social commentary? Was the non-spy story even true? Does it really matter? So long and thanks for all the weirdness, Mr. Barris.
