JFD211: Bad Taste, Horror House on Highway 5, Satanico Pandemonium

0
0

Evil aliens! Satanic nuns! Richard Nixon! This episode of Junk Food Dinner has it all, folks! Which is only fitting as we are joined by none other than the ghost of Mark Freado Jr to talk shit about some low-budget sleaze.

Up first, before Peter Jackson became dedicated solely to Hobbits, he was New Zealand's most promising young splatter-miester. His first feature, Bad Taste from 1987, was a low-budget labor of love and pulled out all the stomach-churning stops to tell the story of evil extraterrestrials coming to Earth to turn humans into fast food, and the goofy Kiwis out to stop 'em.

Next, we make a pit stop at Horror House on Highway Five from 1985. This ulta-low-budget straight-to-video slasher attempt features possibly Nazi/definitely crazy brothers and their father Bartholomew, a serial killer in a Richard Nixon mask, terrorizing a group of teens who just want to learn about rockets.

Finally, a nun in rural Mexico is seduced by Lucifer himself and begins to develope some very bad habits (get it!). Chock full of nudity, lesbianism, bright red blood and, of course, murder, it's Satánico Pandemonium from 1975 directed by Gilberto Martínez Solares.

 All this plus witty banter between friends, mixed signals for your boner, Buckaroo Bonzai found footage, garage punk, Nerd News, Blu-rays, "Byron" from Mortal Kombat and so much more!

JFD212: Night Trap, Double Switch, The Pandora Directive

0
0

This week, we install Windows 95 and break out our Sega CDs for a Full Motion Video theme show. Back in the olden days of the mid-90s, video game companies were experimenting with putting real actors and real movie clips and elements into video games. And it's up to us to revisit them.

First, one of the most controversial horror video games ever: Night Trap from 1992. This game puts you right in the middle of an 80s slasher flick (it was filmed in '87) and led to congress getting their jimmies rustled and creating the video game ratings system we have today.

Next, Corey Haim recruits you to rescue him ... by setting traps in his apartment building in 1994's "Double Switch." The game also stars Debbie Harry and R. Lee Ermy. You, the player, go from room to room trapping and killing mafia guys while evading a mummy.

Finally, detective Tex Murphy stumbles on the biggest conspiracy in history in 1996's "The Pandora Directive." Tex Murphy was the star of a string of futuristic noir adventure games that were recently resurrected thanks to Kickstarter.

All this plus witty banter between friends, full anamorphic transfers, period blood, heavy guitar riffs, Nerd News, Blu-rays, spilling all the fruit and then spilling it again, Ghoul Summer teasers and so much more!

JFD213: Gojira, Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster, Godzilla (2014)

0
0

Oh, no! There goes Tokyo! This week JFD goes Godzilla!

First up, we meet up with the grand-daddy of them all, the original King of the Kaiju, 1954’s Gorjia! Black and white, moody, and with a higher caliber of acting, the original film stands alone from the series. Spoiler alert: Tokyo gets smashed.

Next up, we trip out to the groovy sounds on Mount Fuji with 1971’s Godzilla vs the Smog Monster! Bizarre pollution monster Hedorah takes on Godzilla, and only a weak-ass band of bearded longhairs stands in his way. And some little kid, of course.

Finally, we break out of our caves and venture bravely into the real world to see the new Godzilla from 2014! We’ve had our checkered past with the glutton of cult remakes/reboots/rehashes Hollywood has thrown our way recently, but how will we react to the big guy’s return to the screen? Well, why are you asking me? Just listen already.

All this plus witty banter between friends, Mike-sell’s Potato Chips, Sean Byron: The Freddy Krueger of Facebook, VHS Conventions Chat, Monster Skepticism, That One Time in Bakersfield with the Evangelion Movie, Gearing up for Halloween, Surprising Eyepatches, Heavy Factory Doobies and so much more!

JFD214: Evilspeak, Bloody Birthday, Visiting Hours

0
0

Summer's officially here kids, so Junk Food Dinner getting the time machine out of the garage, firing it up and traveling back to that distant time, the early 80's, to raid the local video store's horror shelf. But we're not on this adventure alone. No, this week we are joined by none other than Mike Dikk from the world-famous Kissing Contest Podcast.

Up first, Clint Howard summons the Dark Lord himself via some ancient text and an ancient computer in order to get the power he needs to exact revenge on the bullies and teachers who are making his life a living hell (get it) in Evilspeak from 1981.

Then, three 10-year-old kids who share a birthday turn murderous due to an eclipse on the night they were born. These vicious tykes (including the lovable scamp Billy Jacoby) get real raw as they pick of family members and neighbors in 1981's Bloody Birthday.

 And finally, Michael Ironside is a racist,misogynist psychopath who doesn't take too kindly to female reporter Lee Grant's progressive views. But when his first attempt at bumping her off fails, he begins to terrorize the hospital where she's a patient. Also William Shatner pops in and out for no reason in 1982's Visiting Hours.

All this plus witty banter between friends, requests to keep up the good work, stories about crying, Nerd News, Blu-rays, vintage 7-Up cans and so much more!

Grab your bunk buddy, cuz we're going to the woods for our annual summer camp theme show!

JFD216: Cards of Death, Belladonna of Sadness, Killing American Style

0
0

Things get really weird this week on Junk Food Dinner. Parker Bowman's on the road so we call in the ghostly Mark Freado, and we're also joined by special guest Zack Carlson of Bleeding Skull and Destroy All Movies for a lively chat about 35mm, misplaced irony, fat ten-year-olds and shot on video oddities!

First up, a nearly lost film is rediscovered and released on VHS in BLEEDING SKULL VIDEO's very first release, Cards of Death from 1986! Strange Nazi-themed killers, deadly tarot cards, and a surprisingly bloody sexual appetite populate the mysterious W.G. MacMillan's only directorial effort, and we have lots of things to say about it.

Next up, we freak out in Japan with Eiichi Yamamoto's psychedelic, grotesque, and beautiful Belladonna of Sadness from 1973! Incredibly inventive (and perverted) animated sequences are used to tell the story of a tortured peasant in a feudal land who is accused of witchcraft, and some really weird stuff happens. Trust us.

Finally, we tackle another almost-lost VHS gem, from low-budget Iranian-born American film guru Amir Shervan, 1990's Killing American Style! This goofy action movie with high aspirations stars Robert Z'Dar, Harold Diamond and Jim Brown, and serves as the unofficial finale to a loose trilogy including Hollywood Cop and Samurai Cop. Implausibly staged shoot-outs and generous portions of T&A populate this fun but potentially brain-dead action-fest.

All this plus witty banter between friends, not a single Yacht Party, an all-star lineup of callers, the forbidden fruit of late night television, water droplets, phantom handjobs, sick-ass gold jackets and so much more!

JFD217: Back to the Beach, South Beach Academy, Welcome to Arrow Beach

0
0
Put on your swimsuit, grab your towel and apply some sunscreen because this week JFD is bringing you some fun in the sun with our action-packed beach theme show!

Up first, Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello have outgrown their beach party past and are living in Ohio with their punk rock son Bobby. But, on their way to Hawaii, they stop off in L.A. to visit their daughter (played by Full House's Lori Loughlin). But there's trouble in paradise as marital problems, surf punks and giant waves threaten to ruin their good time. Add cameos by Don Adams, O.J. Simpson, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Dick Dale, Gilligan, The Skipper and Pee-Wee fuckin' Herman and you have a recipe for fun in 1987's Back to the Beach.

Next, Corey Feldman visits his brother (Keith Coulouris) who runs a school for beach bums in Florida owned by his uncle (The Munsters' Al Lewis). But when a goofy gangster played by James Hong threatens to take away the school after a volleyball bet, it's up to the boys to assemble a volleyball team to reclaim what's theirs. Plenty of fake boobs and bad jokes abound in 1996's South Beach Academy.

Finally, Meg Foster plays a teenage hippy runaway whose travels find her on a private beach owned by Jason (Laurence Harvey) and his sister Grace (Joanna Pettet). They invite the young girl to stay with them but she soon realizes these generous property owners are more sinister than they appear. Murder and mayhem ensue in the horror thriller Welcome to Arrow Beach (AKA Tender Flesh) from 1974.

All this plus witty banter between friends, goddamn death dedications, boxers with boners, Nerd News, Blu-rays, dozens of Ohio references and so much more!

JFD219: Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, Dear God No!, Captain America (1979)

0
0

Sean's out this week, so we're joined by Jamie Jenkins from The Skeleton Crew, Devour the Podcast, Lychan It, Evil Episodes and Direct to Video Connoisseur podcasts!                                                                    

Up first, Jamie brings us a tale about two English strangers who find themselves battling the zombies after a device used to kill insects accidentally raises the dead in 1974's Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (AKA The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue) (AKA Don't Open the Window) (AKA Do Not Speak Ill of the Dead) (AKA Jesus Christ, how many titles does this movie have anyway?!)

Next, a gang of drug-taking, law breaking, pyschopathic bikers cause mayhem as they travel from town to town. But after a shoot out with some strippers in Richard Nixon masks, the gang breaks into the home of scientist and takes him, his daughter and his guests hostage. Things get pretty ghoulish and Bigfoot himself even shows up! It's all here in Dear God No! from 2011.

Finally, in an effort to cash in on the trend of goofy 70's super hero TV shows, CBS made a TV movie about Captain America, intended to be a pilot for a future show. However, the show never got picked up and all that remains is this, part 1 of a two part movie series starring Reb Brown as the iconic symbol of the USA.

All this plus witty banter between friends, Amy Fisher movies, Nerd News, Blu-rays, Corey talk and so much more!

JFD177: Ms. 45, Repo Man, Fast Food

0
0
This week, we're joined by our podcat bros, The Badland Girls!!

Rhea and Destiny bring us a tale of vigilantism and revenge on the male species in Abel Ferrara's "Ms. 45." In this 1981 flick, Thana is a girl in New York who has a bad day when she's assaulted and raped. But this leads her to indiscriminately start killing off anyone she sees with a penis. And maybe dogs, too.

Next, Emelio Estevez is an angry young punk in LA who gets a job repossessing cars in 1984's classic "Repo Man." Directed by Alex Cox and co-starring Harry Dean Stanton, this is a tale of aliens, consumerism and The Circle Jerks.

Finally, two college slackers steal their friend's hamburger stand and develop a sauce that makes their customers horny in 1989's "Fast Food." This comedy was directed by Michael A. Simpson ("Sleepaway Camp" 2 & 3) and stars Jim Varney ("Ernest"), Traci Lords ("Crybaby"), Kevin McCarthy ("UHF") and Michael J. Pollard & Pamela Springsteen from the Sleepaway Camp movies. It's a real who's who of JFD classics.

All this, DVDS, Nerd News, LA punk bands, pornos that will make you horny, and so much more.

JFD220: Mahakaal, Dreamaniac, Bad Dreams

0
0

Welcome to our nightmare this week as Junk Food Dinner checks out three Fake Freddy Fiascos! These flicks all borrow heavily from A Nightmare on Elm Street, but are they a dream come true? It depends on how much you enjoy moonwalking.

First up, an Indian Michael Jackson impersonator, silly kung fu fights, harrowing gang-rapes, songs about picnics, and a certain razor-gloved dream demon collide in 1993's Bollywood Freddy movie Mahakaal aka The Monster! This bizarre fusion of elements shouldn't work at all, but the Ramsay brothers manage to pull off something special. It has boogers!

Next up, we check out David DeCoteau's feature debut Dreamaniac from 1986! This Charles Band production features an awesome VHS cover on Wizard Video, but can the movie compare? We hope you like underpants.

Finally, we tackle another Freddy rip-off, 1988's Bad Dreams! The always-creepy Richard Lynch plays a crispy-faced cult leader stalking Jennifer Rubin through a mental hospital in this clear rip-off of A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3! With extra-spooky fire effects!

All this plus witty banter between friends, the Darko/Arsenio connection, an all-star lineup of callers, tales of the wild west, Nightmare Feddy's, burps, sneezes and so much more!

JFD178: Blood Diner, The Canyons, Perfect Blue!

0
0

Our weird September continues with a trio of flicks that have pretty much nothing in common with each other, except that we had to watch them, and now you'll have to hear us talk about them!

First on the show is BLOOD DINER from 1987! Directed by Jackie Kong, this horror comedy is an homage to the classic HG Lewis Blood Feast, but also much more. It features one of the finest deep-fried-topless-girl-head-decapation scenes in all of cinema, we're sure you'll agree.

Next, we head to the Hollywood Hills with Lindsay Lohan and a gaggle of porn dudes for 2013's THE CANYONS. Funded by Kickstarter, this is writer Bret Easton Ellis and director Paul Schrader's film that is about something. Yeah, something. It has some boobs.

We close out this week's episode with a rare JFD foray into anime territory with 1997's PERFECT BLUE! This psychological thriller from animation legend Satoshi Kon uses hyper-detailed artwork to convey a Brian DePalma-esque story of insanity, sexuality, and violence.

All this plus witty banter between friends, Nerd News, this week's DVD + blu-ray releases, Foot Locker logos, complete confidentiality, no police involvement, Lohan Boobs, voicemail marathons, the VHS section of Amoeba Music Hollywood, and so much more!

JFD221: War of the Stars, Traxx, SymbioPsychoTaxiPlasm: Take One

0
0

It's a weird episode this week, Junkies, as we do a fan edit of a classic, a (possible) genius satire and a meta documentary.

First, a young farmer saves the galaxy with the Force in 2010's "War of the Stars: A New Hope Grindehoused." The Man Behind the Mask re-edited George Lucas' original 1977 "Star Wars" to fit in with the Grindehouse aesthetic we love so much on JFD. The movie is re-cut, re-scored and re-diculous now. Next, radio legend Shadoe Stevens is a lawman who just wants to kill and bake cookies in "Traxx" from 1988. Lawman Traxx is tasked with cleaning up and "taming" a violent Texas town, while simultaneously trying to get his cookie-making business off the ground.

Finally, a film crew is hired to film a film crew that's following a feature film in 1968's "Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One." Steven Soderbergh championed the restoration of this film and Criterion has released it.

All this plus witty banter between friends, Mystery voicemails, Virtual Mark, suspicion about Kevin's absence, "these limp wrists," Comic Con Chat and so much more!

JFD179: Los Bastardos, Mr. Vampire, Remote Control

0
0

Strap in, Junk Food Junkies because JFD is back with another mind-warping episode chock full of murder, vampires and VHS tapes.

Up first, Amat Escalante takes us on an ultra-realistic ride through a day-in-the-life of two Mexican day laborers who are hired to torment a suburban woman in 2008's Los Bastardos starring Jesus Moises Rodriguez, Rubén Sosa and Nina Zavarin.

Then,Ching-Ying Lam plays a Chinese necromancer who is called upon to exhume the body of a local millionaire. But when the body rises from the grave as a vampire, it's up to Lam and his lackies, played by Siu-hou Chin and Ricky Hui to use their knowledge and cunning to take on the vampires (as well as bumbling cops and sexy female ghosts) in the 1985 Hong Kong horror comedy Mr. Vampire.

Finally, Kevin Dillon plays cosmos, a teenage video store clerk who uncovers a sinister alien plot to take over the world through a cheesy 50's sci-fi flick on VHS. He and his pals Deborah Goodrich, Christopher Wynne and a young Jennifer Tilly must take on an evil conspiracy and destroy all the tapes they can in Jeff Lieberman's Remote Control from 1988.

***Our apologies, as Kevin sounds very Freado-esque during this recording***

All this plus witty banter between friends, Nerd News, this week's DVD & blu-ray releases, Skype noise, complete confidentiality, no police involvement, a chance to win a Parker doll, Dr. Who smack talk and much more.

What's that terrible smell coming from the basement of Junk Food Dinner studios? It's the unmistakable stench of GHOUL SUMMER! You sick fucks asked for it, so now you've got it! TWO WEEKS of Ghoul Summer this year. And we're kicking things off correctly by bringing in a professional ghoul, The Memphis Maniac(!) to pick our three ghoulish features this week.

Up first, while the Nazis get all the ghoulish attention, The Men Behind the Sun from 1988 shows that the Japanese were up to some serious ghoulish shit during World War II as well.. This Chinese film tells the tale of Squadron 731, a prison camp where Japanese soldiers and scientists commit gruesome atrocities against prisoners. This flick also earns bonus ghoul points for using real cadavers and animal cruelty. 


Next, Shin'ya Tsukamoto smacks us upside the skull with his frantic, industrial horror art flick Tetsuo, the Iron Man  from 1989 about a man whose body begins to transform into machinery. Shot in black & white and at a breakneck pace, this tight and abrasive film starts out nuts and never lets up.


Finally, shortly after the arrest of one of the most notorious serial killers, the low-budget horror flick The Secret Life: Jeffrey Dahmer was released in 1993 in an attempt to cash in on the morbid curiosity surrounding the crimes at the time. Directed by David R. Bowen and starring Carl Crew as the Milwaukee cannibal, this crude flick, despite it's shortcomings, found its way onto a surprising amount of video store shelves due to its sensational nature.


All this plus witty banter between ghouls, apes with machine guns, metal songs, Nerd News, Blu-rays, Chick Tracks, The Mephis Maniac pissing and so much more!
