JFD563: Wild Style, The Revenge of Billy the Kid, Finding Frances

Well, this week we discuss all things Beastmaster as we are joined by friend of the show, writer/director Jackson Stewart.Up first, fresh off horror classic Phantasm, director Don Coscarelli tackles the sword and sorcery genre with Beastmaster from 1982. Starring Marc Singer as the titular Beastmaster, who falls in love with slave girl Tanya Roberts while trying to defeat an evil wizard played by Rip Torn! Then, Coscarelli's gone but Singer is back for Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time. This time the Beastmaster magically gets warped to modern day Los Angeles. The fish-out-of-water story is well-worn, but is it any fun? Find out. Finally, we close thing out with Beastmaster III: The Eye of Braxus. This final Beastmaster movie was made for TV and aired on May 24, 1996 on NBC. All this plus Beastmaster memories, Thundarr The Barbarian, the boob scale, the "oh" drop, the hottest blu-rays of the week and so much more.

JFD561: 11th Annual Junkaversary Spectacular

 Well, hello, Junk Food Dinner listeners. We've got three short films for grown ups that don't pee their pants this week. First, the Rax Restaurant company introduces us to the mascot that is said to have destroyed their company in "Mr. Delicious." Ticka deedee. Next, it's a public access bloodbath in "Entertain or Die!" Finally, an American Movie about an AA meeting turns into a scary situation in "Coven." All this plus nerd news, DVD, possible theme shows, Parker explains Zack Snyder's Justice League, what Sam Peckinpah movies does Sean like, exactly? And Kevin doesn't care for a new documentary.

JFD560: Mr. Delicious, Entertain or Die, Coven

 Once again, we relinquish control of our picks to the distinguished tastes of our Dom DeLuise Patreon donors. This week they give a real mixed bag of notorious films.Up first, Disney assembles an all-star cast (Anthony Perkins, Robert Forster, Yvette Mimieux, Ernest Borgnine) and a hefty budget to try and get in on the Star Wars craze of the late 70's with The Black Hole from 1979 but ended up with an under-performing dud but which still has cult fans to this day.Next, did you know Jim Varney's first movie wasn't an Ernest movie? Well, it kind of was. It has Ernest in it, but only briefly. It's mostly about this other character, Dr. Otto (also played by Varney) who wants to wreak havoc on the world by destroying our financial institutions, starting with Cincinnati! It's called Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam from 1985 and it plays kind of like an Ernest movie, but weirder. Much weirder.And finally, we take a look at the infamous Tiptoes from 2003 in which Gary Oldman plays Matthew McConaughey's twin brother. Who is also a dwarf. The movie is often cited online as one of the worst/weirdest movies ever but is it really that weird?! We'll find out. All this plus Kevin's trip to Boston, grandpa movie talk, Wal-Mart Exclusives, Nick Nolte chat, the hottest blu-rays of the week and so much more.LISTEN NOW: MP3 Direct DonloydAlso, if you like the show, please take a minute and subscribe and/or comment on us on iTunes, Stitcher, Blubrry or Podfeed.net.

Starring the cast of The Young Ones! And here's the link on YouTube!Finally! Of course, it's 1996's Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy.

 This week we kick off what has become a favorite month here on JFD; Sci-Fi-ebruary! An entire month dedicated to science fiction films of all sizes, shapes and budgets! Up first, legendary sci-fi director Jack Arnold (Creature from the Black Lagoon, Tarantula) teams up with legendary sci-fi writer Richard Matheson (I Am Legend, The Twilight Zone) for The Incredible Shrinking Man from 1957 about a man who begins to grow smaller and smaller after being exposed to a mysterious mist. Then, classic schlockmeisters AIP bring us The Thing with Two Heads from 1972, about a dying surgeon (Ray Milland) who also happens to be a racist, who gets his head transplanted on a black death row inmate (Roosevelt "Rosie" Grier) in an attempt to extend his life. But when things don't go as planned, the two headed experiment will lead police on a chase across the California countryside. And finally, ultra-low-budget filmmaker Neil Breen graces us with another one of his pet projects where he stars, writes, directs and does pretty much everything else in Twisted Pair from 2018 about a set of twin brothers (both played by Breen), one who is enlightened with AI and one who is addicted to pills and booze. All this plus Parker disciplining his new dog, a spat of celebrity deaths, Amber alerts for Young Charles, the hottest blu-rays of the week and so much more.LISTEN NOW:MP3 Direct DonloydAlso, if you like the show, please take a minute and subscribe and/or comment on us on iTunes, Stitcher, Blubrry or Podfeed.net.

JFD551: The Roommates, Darktown Strutters, Bigfoot: The Movie

 JFD is back and this week, it's action packed! Alright, maybe not packed. In fact, there's some pretty boring parts in all these movies. But still, there's definitely some action in there! Up first, Sean tries to convince Parker that the French can be cool by exhibiting That Man From Rio from 1964. An action-adventure film directed by Philippe de Broca and starring Jean-Paul Belmondo (the same team that brought us Le Magnifique), its about a guy on military leave and the daughter of a murdered man who go on adventure to Brazil to find some stolen ancient statues that could hold the secret to a lost treasure. Next, we have The Rift from 1990, the tale of a crew of a submarine who go looking for the crew of another submarine mission who have gone missing, but when they discover a secret experiment and a whole lot of weird ocean-dwelling creatures, things begin to go wrong real quick. And finally, we have martial artist Cynthia Rothrock in her first starring role in an American film, China O'Brien, about a female cop who leaves the big city for her small Utah hometown, only to find it overrun with low-lives and thugs. Shot in 1988 but shelved for 2 years and released directly to video, it didn't necessarily make Rothrock a household name, but did introduced her into our hearts. All this plus getting ripped off on pixels, David Arquette disappoints, political anger, film babes back from the dead (then dead again), more Star Wars chat than Kevin is comfortable with (again), the hottest blu-rays of the week and so much more.

And how are these disparate elements interconnected? You'll have to hear our review of this early nudie-cutie to find out! Next up! Y'all remember Videodrome, the Cronenberg movie? Well, y'all remmeber VideoBone, the unremarkable porno parody of it from 1986? We didn't, either. And we hope James Woods never finds out about it, or what we said here.Finally! Of course, it's Edward Penishands, from 1991! How could it not be Edward Penishands? How did it take us this long to review Edward Penishands? Has Tim Burton seen Edward Penishands?
