We'll even be joined by Cumulus Frisbie (of Pool Party Radio) to make it a podcast crossover event for the ages.

We'll also be going to a horror marathon while in LA. If you're in the area, come hang out!

Whooooo! Oww! This week Junk Food Dinner dedicates an entire episode to every teenage boy's favorite Bundy, Christina Applegate!

Up first, Christina plays a heroin-addicted teenage prostitute on the run from a psycho cop out to kill her. When she teams up with fellow runaway Sy (David Mendenhall from Over the Top), the two attempt to stay one step ahead of the pigs and fall in love in the process in the Roger Corman-produced Streets from 1990. 

Then, it's Applegate's most famous role as the eldest of a clan of kids whose ideal summer away from their parents is ruined when a crotchety old babysitter shows up. However, when the old bag crokes, Applegate and her siblings (including the seminal burnout, Kenny, played by Keith Coogan) are forced to fend for themselves in Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead from 1991.

Finally, a wimpy rock 'n roller T.J. (James Marshall) loses both of his hands after a run-in with a gang of toughs, dashing his dreams of musical stardom. But after becoming a hobo he meets up with Applegate who introduces him to the world of techno music and her friends create a pair a mechanical hands to help T.J. launch a new musical venture in the super goofy Vibrations from 1996.

All this plus the wittiest banter between friends, Monster Cereal chat, Ramones songs, wolf whistles, Nerd News, blu-rays, and so much more!

Hey, Junkies. We know you probably have voter's fatigue after all the Schlocktober voting, but as you have seen, we'll do whatever movies you tell us to, as long as it involves you voting. And our 100th movie/Audio Commentary episodes are no different. Our 700th movie fast approaches and we need you dudes to pick which one it'll be. As is tradition, we'll record an audio commentary for it, so it'll feel like you're watching the movie with three (or maybe even 4) of your goofy JFD pals sitting on your living room floor. In the past, you guys picked Howard the Duck(JFD35), C.H.U.D. (JFD69), The Warriors (JFD103), Transformers: The Movie (JFD137) and Escape From New York (JFD172) and Spring Break (JFD 206)

For movie 700, here are your sexy, scary and wacky choices. Vote by using the little votey widget in the top left corner.

Schlocktober starts now, Junkies! This is JFD's annual celebration of everything spoopy and creppy. You voted on the movies we'll do for this year's Autumn Harvest and it all starts with our "The Howling" theme show! Check out the episode where we did the original Here.

First, Reb Brown ("Space Mutiny") and Christopher Lee ("Dracula") travel to Transylvania (for some reason) to hunt down a mysterious cult of sexy S&M werewolves lead by Sybil Danning ("Chained Heat"). Directed by Philippe Mora and based on the novel by the original film's creator, this is "The Howling 2: Your Sister is a Werewolf."

Next, director Philippe Mora returns with an all new cast of characters and a storyline not related to the first two in any way! In "The Howling 3: The Marsupials," a filmmaker falls in love with an Australian girl who is actually a marsupial werewolf!

Finally, director John Hough ("Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry") brings us "The Howling 4: The Original Nightmare." The movie is named as much as it's basically a remake of the first one: a young woman heads out to the country after some traumatizing incidents to relax. But then she hears a mysterious howling...

All this plus the wittiest banter between friends, all your goofy voicemail pals, werewolf songs, wrestle chat, USAgent, Nerd News, blu-rays, and so much more!

Shamble on over to your podcast machine and fire up Junk Food Dinner, because we've unearthed a trio of classic Italian Zombie flicks! It's Zombi Week as Schlocktober continues!

First up, eyeballs get poked and zombies get shark bites in Lucio Fulci's 1979 classic, Zombi 2! Spooky music and an apocalyptic Carribean jungle atmosphere shape this pseudo-sequel to George Romero's Dawn of the Dead.

Next up, we venture into the jungle once again with Zombi 3 from 1988! This not-really-a-sequel to Zombi 2 was abandoned by Lucio Fulci and finished by Bruno Mattei, but can it really be that bad? It has more zombie birds than Zombie 5: Killing Birds!

Finally, we check out Claudio Fragasso (Troll 2's) contribution to the Zombi semi-franchise, the retitled-as-a-Zombi-sequel jungle zombie picture Zombi 4 (aka After Death) from 1989! Cloth-faced zombies drool green slime for some reason, and machine guns fire sound effects instead of bullets. It's a weird one!

All this plus the wittiest banter between friends, Zombie Coughs, Scarecrow Horror Movie Chats, The Spectacle Theater Sleepover, The Zombie Code, The Steve Polychronopolous Movie, Strange Colored Blood, the Man with a Plan, Voodoo Priest Manboobs, Zombie Kung Fu, burps, sneezes, boogers and so much more!

Schlocktober continues this week with our tribute to the (mostly) classic horror anthology, Creepshow!

Up first, George Romero directs a series of creepy tales penned by Stephen King in the original Creepshow from 1982. In this entry we get tales of zombies, human weeds, water logged lovers, razor-toothed apes and killer cockroaches with the acting talents of Tom Atkins, Ed Harris, Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson, Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Fritz Weaver and E. G. Marshall.

Then, five years later in 1987 New World Pictures continued the horror with Creepshow 2. This time directing credit goes to Michael Gornick with three more stories from Stephen King featuring revenge-seeking wooden Indians, killer oil slicks and persistent hitchhikers. Featuring performances from Tom Savini, George Kennedy, Paul Satterfield and Lois Chiles.

Finally, and inexplicably, Creepshow returned (in name only) in 2006 with a new entry attempting, Creepshow 3 to cash in on the fans' love of the first two flicks. This time around we get some sub-par tales of evil remote controls, supernatural radios, killer hookers, mail order brides and haunted hot dogs. Ana Clavell and James Dudelson helm this ripoff with performances from Roy Abramsohn, AJ Bowen, Camille Lacey and Kris Allen.

All this plus witty banter between friends, Twinkie talk, a discussion on what exactly "boba" is, the formation of the JFD band The Shadmocks, nerd news about glam rock icons trying to act, smelly vinyl records, upcoming DVD and blu-ray releases, a Wesley Willis song and so much more.

We're still knee-deep in Schlocktober and this week, we're grabbing our quad-barrel shotgun and jumping in our Hemi-Cuda to follow the Tall Man.

First, Mike and his friend are hunting The mysterious Tall Man across the west, but only finding the ghost towns he leaves in his wake in 1988's "Phantasm 2."

Next, It's more of the same cat and mouse game in 1994's "Phantasm III: The Lord of the Dead." Now Reggie has a rag tag team of ghoul-killers, including a little kid (Of course.)

Finally, blood and guts turns into trippy surreality in "Phantasm IV: Oblivion" from 1998.

All this plus witty banter between friends, Podcat Bro Meet Up Chat, the weirdest ghost Busters fan, remaking old scripts, smelly vinyl records, upcoming DVD and blu-ray releases and so much more.

Well, it’s finally happened, Junk Food Junkies! Our final week of Schlocktober is an extra historic episode this week as all three of your JFD hosts are recording without the benefit of Internet anonymity! It’s an in-person JFD episode, recorded live from a garage in East LA (lock the gates!) with none other than the Razor-man himself, Jason “Cumulus” Frisbie of Pool Purdy Radio fame, (un)fresh from the 9th Annual Horrorthon at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica! Lack of sleep and a complete non-lack of the heaviest doobies collide with Listener Beers and we get so turnt while reviewing these Halloween flicks. It’s the spoopiest, creepiest episode of JFD yet!

First up, we’re drowning in slasher cliches in Steve Miner’s soggy sequel, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later from 1998! Michael Myers is back, you say? Jamie Lee Curtis returns and is joined by newcomers, Michelle Williams, Josh Hartnett, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and LL Cool J. Look out for a misplaced tribute to Psycho with Janet Leigh!

Next, the Halloween series is revived yet again with Halloween: Resurrection from 2002, directed by Rick Rosenthal! You’ll never believe it, but Michael Myers is back (despite that pesky decapitation). Jamie Lee Curtis appears alongside Tyra Banks and Busta Rhymes in this more experimental, Information Superhighway Themed ode to cyberspace slasherdom. Also, humans are the real aliens (spoiler).

Finally, we’ve done it. We’ve watched Robert Zombie’s remake, Halloween from 2007. Set in an indistinct time period and chock full of Zombie’s naked wife, this song features multiple sequences with Don’t Fear the Reaper on the soundtrack. Malcom McDowell plays a hippie who just wants to meet a kid (aka Dr. Loomis), and the rest of the cast is populated by an unbelievable roster of cult character actors, including Brad Dourif, William Forsythe, Richard Lynch, Udo Kier, Clint Howard, Danny Trejo, Bill Moseley, Dee Wallace, Ken Foree, Sybil Danning, Sid Haig, Courtney Gains, Kazu Nagahama and more!

All this plus the wittiest real-time banter between friends, no Skype weirdness whatsoever, tons of off-mic shenanigans, Oatmeal-Fu, burps, Staying Up All Night Doing That Homework, chilling in H-towns, Pointy-Ass Klaus Kinski, Super Sentais, french grandpas, monster deans, The Return of the Hubba Bubba, sneezes, boogers and so much more!

Thanks again to Gene Siskel’s BaldingHead for the brewskis!

Welp, Halloween season's over, butthorns, and as 2014 starts winding down JFD calls upon foundingmember Mark Freado Jr to join us to examine some flicks from the past year. 

Up first, up-and-coming direct Jeremy Saulnier weaves a tale about a Virginia man, Dwight (Macon Blair), who has become a vagrant after the murder of his parents. But when he gets the news that the man responsible for their deaths is released from prison, Dwight goes into full revenge mode in Blue Ruin.

Then, it's not often that JFD tackles one of the biggest films of the year, but in the case of Guardians of the Galaxy, it was too good to be ignored. Director James Gunn (Slither, Super) brings a culty vibe to this comic book tale about a space loser (Chris Pratt) and his gang of misfits who are trying to transport a valuable orb across the cosmos.

Finally, Spanish director Gabe Ibáñez mixes a bit of Blade Runner and a dash of District 9, to create a futuristic tale where where the human population has dwindled and relies on robots to do the work once done by humans. But when Antonio Banderas discovers that the robots may be self-aware, he goes on a quest to protect mankind in Autómata.

All this plus witty banter between friends, Halloween regrets, low milk, Junk Mail, video mix tapes, Nerd News, DVD & Blu-ray releases, touching stories, Freado's ever-present Skype noise, Buzz from Home Alone, condoms stretched over pineapples and so much more.

Hey, Junkies! This week, we continue checking out the delights of 2014 cinema with three more new movies.

First up, Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) is a young man who's dealing with the fact that everyone in town thinks he killed his girlfriend in "Horns." Things get way worse, or maybe better, when he begins to get Satan-like in appearance. The flick is directed by Alexandre Aja (High Tension, Piranha 3D) and based on a book by Joe Hill (Stephen King's son).

Next, the team that brought us The WNUF Halloween Special return with their Kickstarter-funded "Call Girl of Cthulu." A young nerd and his prostitute love interest run afoul of a cult that worships ancient alien gods and need the Necronomicon to summon them. Or something. Get ready for Deep Ones and things that are Unamable.

Finally, a drunk cop is turned into a werewolf as a part of a nefarious plan. "Wolf Cop" is directed by Lowell Dean and is a throw-back to a time when cops were sometimes monsters. Literally, we mean. Not the kind of monsters they are now.

All this plus witty banter between friends, Parker's return, low milk, Junk Mail, GWAR stories, Nerd News, DVD & Blu-ray releases, a bad Austin Powers voice, The Brain redux and so much more.

We knew the day would come where we would have to face off with the vaunted Randomizer 5000 once again, we just didn't expect it would be so soon. Yet, that day is here. Brace yourself, Junk Food Junkies - the Randomizer's wrath has no reprieve!

First up, we burrow into Sean's own personal insectoid nightmares with the ghoulish and ghastly Centipede Horror (aka Wu Gong Zhou) from 1982! This early CAT-III flick is one of the crazier Hong Kong bugsploitation movies, as that's really saying something. Maybe don't eat a heavy meal before this one, guys.

Next, things go from bad to worse with everyone's favorite funnyman, Adam Sandler, in 1989's Going Overboard! A pre-SNL/pre-fame/pre-funny Sandler somehow landed the lead role in this boat-bound "comedy", including surprising (until you read this) cameos from Billy Zane and Milton Berle! Cats will be slapped.

Lastly, we travel to a subtitle-free zone in South Korea for 1990's Dragon Ball: Fight Son Goku, Win Son Goku, an unofficial Korean live-action remake of the original Dragon Ball series. There's a whole lot of awkward touching, and then Gamera shows up to bite some dude's dick. Is this really a kids movie?

All this plus friendly banter between wits, the live results of our JFD 700th Movie Commentary poll, Kevin's Wild and Woolly Video Voyages, Parker's Adventures Throughout the Lucha Underground, Sean's Traumatic Insectoid History, a traffic jam of movie releases, Nerd News, our Junky DVD picks for the week, the latest Vine critiques, Double Sheens, listener calls and Junk Mails, sneezes, boogers and so much more!

Can you believe we have reviewed 700 goddamn movies on Junk Food Dinner?! We can't, but apparently we have. So, as is our tradition with every 100th movie watched, we are doing a full-length audio commentary for a movie you, the JFD listening audience, voted on; Ice Cream Man from 1995 starring Clint Howard (Evilspeak) and directed by Paul Norman (Edward Penishands, Sperm Bitches).

WARNING: This is not a typical episode of Junk Food Dinner. This is an audio commentary. This episode is meant to be listened to while you watch Ice Cream Man. If you try to listen to this episode and you are not watching Ice Cream Man along with us, a lot of this will not make any sense.

Shock & Awegust, or Shock & Aweghoul? YOU decide this week, with Sean’s “Disabled Heroes” theme show. This trio of action-packed "cripplesploitation" flicks all rely on the physical maladies of their lead performers, but also display their surprising capabilities! It’s simultaneously heart-wrenching and gut-wrenching (take note, wrench fans).

First up! We tackle a classic in the subgenre, and the first in an extra exploitative trilogy. Jackie Conn and Frankie Shum star as a deadly kung fu duo out for revenge against the men who stole their limbs, and learn a whole lot of no-legs and/or no-arms crazy moves along the way. It’s a Suncoast Video classic! It’s Crippled Masters (Tian can di que / 天殘地缺), from 1979!

Up next! A real-life legless Korean war veteran teams up with the real-life cast and crew behind TV’s Flipper, and the resulting movie is 1979’s The Amazing Mr. No Legs. Even though he’s kind of a side character, No Legs makes a huge impression by being the only character onscreen without bell bottoms. When he kicks ass pool-side, you’ll ask yourself whether you really need legs anymore anyways (they’re always getting in the way). It’s about drug deals and cigars and a cop’s sister getting killed by television. You will never forget it!

Finally! The last movie selection of the evening is a both a tribute and an homage to Shock & Awegusts of years past. It’s an opportunity to reflect on our progress since previous action-packed latesummer podcasting events, and also to check in with old friends. Old friends like Weng Weng, the 83 centimeter, 1980’s Filipino kung fu star, who returns to Junk Food Dinner with 1982’s The Impossible Kid! This sequel to For Y'ur Height Only continues to adventures of Agent 00 as he encounters sexy ladies, swimming pedophiles, and the toughest clouds of random smoke in town. There’s nothing quite like it! (except For Y'ur Height Only)

All this plus witty banter between friends, Nerd News, DVDs, Parker Bowman’s Right to Sell Stock Options, A Pretty Face Hiding an Evil Mind, Western Archivists, A Surprising Return of a Surprising Segment Within the DVD Picks, Nostalgic Softspots, Overcoming Adversity, More Skype Noise Than You Can Handle, absolute confidentiality, continued lack of police involvement, sneezes, belches, gleeks and a whole lot more!

Get ready for bombs, bullets and badasses with our third and final week of Shock & Awe-gust, with Kevin's theme show featuring three exciting "black-tion" flicks.

Up first, Jim Brown is a Vietnam vet/Green Beret, who returns home after his parents are killed in a mob hit. After a botched attempt at revenge, the US Treasury recruits him to travel to "South America" to bust up the mob ring (including Rip Torn and Stella Stevens) and find the ones responsible for his parents' death in Slaughter from 1972.

Next, Carl Weathers is a Detroit cop with a reputation as one mean son of a bitch, in Action Jackson from 1988. When union leaders are being killed off in explosive fashion, Jackson is hot on the trail of Craig T. Nelson who is the president of a large car company. With the help of Sharon Stone and Vanity, Jackson vows to get his man, no matter how much damage he does in the process.

Finally, Ice-T is a homeless man in Seattle who's about ready to end it all when he's offered a job as a "hunting guide' by a group of rich dudes (Charles Dutton, Rutger Hauer, Gary Busey, F. Murray Abraham, etc), he accepts and travels with them into the remote wilderness. But things quickly go bad when Ice-T realizes they won't be hunting animals, they will be hunting him in Surviving the Game from 1994.

All this plus witty banter between friends, Nerd News, blu-rayss, Podcast Town Talk, Kyle from Kentucky, pencil dicks, Nintendo Nerd News, funk soundtracks, movies Sean has never seen, Nostalgic Softspots, More Skype Noise, absolute confidentiality, continued lack of police involvement and a whole lot more!

Junk Food Dinner. 278.

Part one of an epic 2-parter is here as we talk cult classics. This week, we'll be talking about the original classics and come back next week as we watch their remakes.

First, Joe Don Baker plays Buford T. Pusser as he takes on Tennessee's crime and corruption in "Walking Tall" from 1973. This movie is based on the real life of a pro wrestler turned sheriff who fought off the Dixie Mafia and other corrupt baddies.

Next, the people of Bodega Bay are besieged by feathered fiends in "The Birds." This Alfred Hitchcock classic kicks off "SeptemBIRD," Sean's month-long journey into fowl territory.

Finally, James Caan slaps on some skates for fun and for violence in 1975's "Rollerball." It's the future and the world is run by corporations who want to crush the world's last might hero.

All this, plus DVDs, Nerd News, Sad Nerd News, Did Parker kill Wes Craven?, Podcast Town Chat, Weird new outros, new bumpers, classics for us to hate, Fury Road Chat, Wayne calls in with some N-Bombs, Memphis Maniacs and so much more!

Last week we covered a trio of respected cult classics, and this week we tackle their remakes. With the second time be a charm? Or will we encounter some sophomore slumps? Tune in and we'll find out together.

First up! WWE Films debut feature remakes the story of Buford Pusser, a former professional wrestler-turned-Sheriff in rural Tennessee with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Only this time, he's an ex-marine in the Pacific Northwest, and his name's Chris Vaughn. Oh, and Johnny Knoxville was there. For some reasons? It's the 2004 remake of Walking Tall!

Up next! Sean might've "Freado'd his pick" this week, but if you're really into Lifetime Channel movies, this might've been a smart gambit. It's the 1994 TV movie The Birds II: Land's End, starring a guy who takes his shirt off! Set in the same house as the original, with pretty much the same plot as the original, this sequel features marital difficulties and soft-lens photography. It's emotional!

Finally! If you don't remember who Chris Klein is, be prepared to get painfully reintroduced to his filmography via 2002's Rollerball remake! Reconfigured to take place in the present-day "Central Asia" instead of a dystopian future, this remake resembles the original mostly in name only. Paul E. Dangerously is the color commentator - does that do anything for you? It's a movie.

All this plus witty banter between friends, Nerd News, DVDs, Downer's Grove chats, hot plates chats, a caller from West Virginnie, hhoul innovations from The Ghoulfather, the sweetest caller in Podcast Town, Goonies LARPing, relaxing entertainment, Sk-krrzz-zz-kype N-rrrzz-oise, a couple guys who worked on Franco, a whole lot of night-vision, absolute confidentiality, continued lack of police involvement, sneezes, belches, gleeks and a whole lot more!

This week JFD brings you the three B's: boners, badasses and birds!

Up first, we're transported back to Ohio in the 1950's, where two high school kids (Doug McKeon and Chris Nash) fall in love with two foxy broads (Kelly Preston and Catherine Mary Stewart) and desperately try to get laid in the often overlooked sex-comedy Mischief from 1985.

Then, we take a trip to shithole 70's New York City, where greedy landlords are trying to force Charley (Charles Bonet) and the other tenants out of their crummy apartment in order to raise the rent. But when the fat cats have Charley's father killed, he teams up with his pal (Speedy Leacock) to get sweet, sweet revenge in Death Promise from 1977.

And finally, René Cardona Jr, director of Tintorera: Killer Shark, tells the tale of what would happen if birds mysteriously started attacking people (gee, where did he get that idea?). Christopher Atkins (the cretin from Blue Lagoon) and Michelle Johnson (the chick from Waxwork) play reporters traveling the globe to figure out what's causing this birdemic in Birds of Prey (AKA Beaks: The Movie) from 1987.

All this plus autumn snax chat, working from home, blu-rays, Nerd News, Kyle from Kentucky, movies shot on cell phones, boner memories and so much more!
