JFD241: Lionheart, Paprika, The Guest

0
0

It's dream machines, dreamboats and dream fights tonight, Junkies!

First, Jean Claude Van Damme quits the French Foreign Legion when he hears his brother has been murdered. This leads to a bizarre underground fighting tournament and some very soggy leotards in "Lionheart" from 1990. The movie was written and directed by frequent JCVD collaborator Sheldon Lettich ("Double Impact," "Bloodsport").

Next, Satoshi Kon ("Perfect Blue") directs the beautiful and trippy 2006 anime "Paprika," about a scientific machine that enables psychologists to enter their patients' dreams. the film is often cited as being the unoficial source material for "Inception."

Finally, a young soldier visits the family of his dead comrade in Adam Wingard's "The Guest," from 2014. Is this soldier who he says he is? The family is suspicious. You won't be, though, because (BEWARE!) we spoil the whole damn thing!

All this, Nerd News, DVDs, Sweet Mans and 74 other things!

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

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!

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!

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!

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!

Hey, creeps. We hope you're celebrating Ghoul Summer by getting a nose bleed and not knowing why or getting some food caught in your throat. As you may have seen from your half goth/half rockabilly friends on Facebook, we're just 100 days out from Halloween, which means JFD's 5th annual Schlocktober is right around the bend.

Last year, we did 5 episodes dedicated to 5 of our favorite horror franchises. And this year, we're looking to do the same thing. Except replace "our" with "your." In the top left corner of the site, you'll see a poll. We nominated some franchises we want to honor for Ghoul Summer. Now it's up to you to pick the Top 4. We'll call this around the last week of September, so get voting early and often to make sure we do your Halloween jams!

JFD223: Cannibal Holocaust, Come and See, The Untold Story

0
0
It's our second and final Ghoul Summer episode of the year and we're joined by Ghoul Godfather, Mike Dikk (of Kissing Contest) to discuss 3 movies he picked.

First, a professor goes deep into the Amazon to track down his missing documentarian students. But he only finds their footage and the grisly atrocities contained therein in 1980's Cannibal Holocaust. The flick, directed by Ruggero Deodato basically invented the Found Footage genre.

Next, a young Russian boy finds a gun and joins the army to fight back against the Nazis during World War II in 1985's "Come and See." It's a movie widely regarded as one of the best movies ever made.

Finally, Police Academy -esque bungling cops hunt a madman doing nefarious things in his restaurant in 1993's "The Untold Story."

All this plus witty banter between ghouls, Orion: The Comic-Con Correspondent, Turtles and their cool bodies, Nerd News, Blu-rays, Being a "cost-effective" ghoul, the podcast gold rush and so much more!

Shock and Awegust kicks off this week with some truly insane action from Action International Pictures. It's our David A. Prior theme show! Get ready for low-budget insanity from the king of action trash! Parker Bowman's on assignment with Doctor Evil, so we're joined this week by Rachel Thode and Nick Jones!

First up, tons of tough guy stuff is set to the weirdest synth pop music you might find on VHS in 1988's Operation Warzone, an inexplicable low budget Vietnam movie from David A. Prior!

Next up, we seek out the world's most powerful (and ridiculous) weapon Rapid Fire from 1989! There's also something about a code that may have been changed.

Finally, we tackle our final David A. Prior flick for the show, 1989's Future Force! The always-weird David Carradine gets even weirder with the attachment of a flying bionic arm he uses for bad police work!

All this plus witty banter between friends, Bloody Mary's, bad explosions, crazy fist fights, crotch punching, DTMF weaponry, burps, sneezes and so much more!

JFD225: Tintorera: Killer Shark, Jaws 3-D, Sharknado 2

0
0
Junk Food Dinner wades into schlock-infested waters as Shock and Awegust transforms into SHARK & JAWSGUST for a week! Guest Faith Von Awesome joins us this week while Kevin's in Boston - and one of us doesn't survive the episode!

First up, a swinging bachelor hits the high-seas for cocaine fueled orgies and intermittent shark violence in 1977's Tintorera: Killer Shark! This Mexisploitation flick stars Hugo Stiglitz and is notable for being one of the first Jaws rip-offs, as well as being one of the few softcore shark films. It's also kind of like a Cannibal Holocaust for sharks, if you know what I mean. 

Next, we tackle the perhaps-not-the-best but-definitely-the-most-3-dimension Jaws sequel, Jaws 3-D from 1983! It's got Louis Gossett Jr., Dennis Quaid, and Lea Thompson running around a strangely prophetic SeaWorld, but does it have any sharks?

Finally, we check in with the second in what's sure to be a long-running annual tradition from Asylum Films, 2014's Sharknado 2! Noted scribe Thunder Levin delivers a script crammed with celebrity cameos, movie parodies, and sharks, but can critical darling Anthony C. Ferrante retain his auter spirit while operating in the Shark/Weather subgenre? And what artistic choice lead him to film this summer-set movie in February snow-bound NYC?

All this plus witty banter between friends, the saddest nerd newses, disco dancing, getting eaten by sharks, tanlines aplenty, burps, sneezes and so much more!

Hey, Junkies! We're ready for a sweet Fall cool off period. It's the time between Shock & Awegust and Schlocktober when the air gets crisp and we just like chillin' next to the VHS player.

September is also a time for strapping on a backpack and going back to school, hence our other two theme episodes. Enjoy, Junkies, because after this month, things get creppy and spoopy like you wouldn't believe. In fact, there's still time to vote for our Schlocktober theme shows, so try that out, too.

JFD226: The Terminator, Red Heat, The Last Stand

0
0

Shock and Awegust turns into Shock and Arnold this week, as we pay tribute to one of the greatest action stars in the world.

First, the classic that kickstarted Arnold and James Cameron's careers: 1984's "The Terminator." Arnold plays a cold, robotic slasher hunting down women in this classic that started one of the most iconic franchises in history.

Next, Arnold is a Russian cop who follows a criminal to Chicago in 1988's "Red Heat." Director Walter Hill ("The Warriors") tries his hand again at the buddy-cop flick after basically inventing it with "48 Hours."

Finally, Arnold's 2013 comeback movie after nearly a decade of politics, "The Last Stand." Directed by Kim Jee Woon spins this violent tale of an aging small town sheriff forced to stop a crime boss from fleeing back into Mexico.

All this plus witty banter between friends, hypothetical "Jaws" questions, Arnold noises, Nerd News, Matthew Sweetman, remakes, burps, sneezes and so much more!

JFD227: Mad Max, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome

0
0

We bid Shock and Awegust a fond farewell this week, but before we pack up our machine guns and motorcycles, we pay homage to potentially the greatest Ozploitation trilogy of all time, the Mad Max trilogy directed by George Miller and starring Mel Gibson!

First up, the one that started it all, the outback revenge classic Mad Max, from 1979! This low-budget action flick was a surprise mega-hit and was the most profitable film of all time for a long-ass time. It has Toecutter.

Next up, we hit the road in an Oil Tanker From Hell with Mad Max in 1981's sequel The Road Warrior! Leather-clad bad-asses lead by the evil Lord Humongous are trying to steal some gasoline, and Max gets caught up in the middle. It's crazy.

Finally, we tackle our final Mad Max flick for the show, 1985's sometimes maligned Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome! Tina Turner and a wrestler/midget combination run the pig-feces-methane plant at Bartertown, but Max takes a break from all that jazz to hang out with the children. Hey, it looks good.

All this plus the wittiest banter between friends, GWAR Chat, Wienerschnitzel’s sub-par Burgers, Lots of Love, Kissing Contest’s Disappointing Voicemail Contest, Nerd News, Rats of Humans, Krypto the Super Dog, Large Marge eyes, burps, sneezes, boogers and so much more!

JFD228: Casualties of Love: The Long Island Lolita Story, The Amy Fisher Story, Lethal Lolita (AKA Amy Fisher: My Story)

0
0

Ripped from the headlines! JFD returns this week and travels back to the mysterious world of 1993, where not one, not two but THREE made-for-TV movies were produced around the true life story of a Long Island teen, her affair with a married auto mechanic and her attempted murder of his wife.

Up first, it's Casualties of Love: The Long Island Lolita Story starring Alyssa Milano as Amy Fisher and Jack Scalia as Joey Buttafuoco. This version produced for CBS tells Joey Buttafuoco's side of the story and portrays Fisher as a manipulative psycho who's obsession lead her to attempted murder.

Next, we take a look at The Amy Fisher Story starring Drew Barrymore as Amy Fisher and Tony Denison as Joey Buttafuoco. This one was made for ABC and throws in Harley Jane Kozak as a journalist to add the media's side to the story. This version while maybe the best produced is also the sleaziest with additional R-rated footage added in for the home video release.

Finally, we round things off with Lethal Lolita (AKA Amy Fisher: My Story) starring Noelle Parker as Amy Fisher and Ed Marinaro as Joey Buttafuoco. NBC's version tells the story from Amy's point of view and portrays Fisher as the victim of manipulation and abuse. This movie deal also helped the real Amy Fisher post her 2 million dollar bail while on trial for attempted murder.

All this plus the wittiest banter between friends, hacked nudes chat, The Memphis Maniac, Long Island accents, Nerd News, DVD/Blu-ray releases, Rats of Humans, Dad-Rock songs about Amy, James Gunn love, and so much more!

The air is crisp, the leaves are falling and we're going back to school this week, Junkies! We discuss three flicks about the high school experience.

First up, an outcast relives the plot of "Carrie," but with less bloody results in 1995's "Angus." This flick was directed by Patrick Read Johnson and stars George C. Scott (not as the high school kid) and James Van Der Beek. It also boasts a pretty great soundtrack.

Next, Jamie Lee Curtis plays a disco dancing high school kid who's friends have a dark secret in the influential 1980 slasher, "Prom Night."

Finally, Roger Vadim ("Barbarella") directs a satirical black comedy sex romp where a teacher is banging all his students and trying to get other teachers to bang different students. Also, there's a murder mystery. It's "Pretty Maids All in a Row" from 1971.

All this plus the wittiest banter between friends, Sad Nerd News, Voice Mails, The Listener of the Week, Nerd News, DVD/Blu-ray releases, Not Peeing the Bed, Has Tarantino gone too far, and so much more!

Put away your cap and gown and grab your caveman toga, because we've graduated from high school week and it's time for a Junk Food Dinner College Party. We've got three flicks this week dedicated to the finer points of higher learning.

First up, Rodney Dangerfield's a lovable, high-diving rich-ass old-man college student in Back to School, from 1986! This classic comedy also features appearances from Oingo Boingo and Sam Kinison, among others.

Next up, we enroll in courses at Notre Dame, er... UCLA, er... USC..? Anyhow, whatever college it is, it certainly has a Hunchback. It's 1989's Big Man on Campus (aka The Hunchback of UCLA)! Some famous television producer decided to make a broad Mike Myers-esque fish-out-of-water comedy and cast himself as a hunchback. Does it improve on the 1939 RKO classic? What great truths does it reveal about the struggles of man in modern society? You'll have to tune in to find out (or just take a guess).

Finally, we unearth an oddly forgotten movie with well-known talent in front of and behind the camera, with 1994's Getting In! Director Doug Liman (Go, Swingers, Bourne Identity) helms this comedic college slasher/mystery starring Kristy Swanson, Dave Chappelle, Andrew McCarthy, Matthew Perry, and Calista Flockheart. Spoiler alert, but the Tarman sorta appears as well.

All this plus the wittiest banter between friends, Weak-ass Halloween Stores, the Ebola Virus, Our man Leonard from Wyoming, Big October JFD News, Fact-Checking on Bloody Disgusting, The Zabka Factor, Hunchback Homoeroticism, Pseudo-Tarmans, burps, sneezes, boogers and so much more!
