This week, we welcome our new host, Sean, with 3 weirdo flicks!

First, Dennis Hopper is a private eye in a (literally) magical '50s Hollywood in "Witch Hunt" from 1994. Paul Schrader (Hardcore, The Canyons) directs this made-for-HBO movie, co-starring Eric Bogosian as a McCarthy-esque senator and Julian Sands as a creepy German or Irish guy or something.

Then, abused and forbidden to leave his home, a man-child breaks free, in 1993's "Bad Boy Bubby." Hailed as a (cult) classic of Australian cinema, this dark and experimental film has been frequently recommended by JFD listeners.

Finally, two mismatched cops (in the the Lethal Weapon, 48 Hours vein) are on the trail of drug smugglers, in the under-the-radar (in America, anyway) Hong Kong action flick from 1988 "Tiger on the Beat," starring Chow Yun-Fat and Chia Hui Liu (Kill Bill).

All this plus witty banter between friends, complete confidentiality, no police involvement, Donald Lloyd of the Junk Food Dinner Warehouse, Junk (voice)Mails, The JFD Grandpa, and so much more!

Direct Donloyd here!

Grab your shotgun and your chainsaw and take a trip with JFD into a secluded cabin in the woods! With the release of the remake of one of the most beloved cult horror films of all time, we decided to take an in-depth look at the infamous Evil Dead series of films.

Up first, we dig into the movie that started it all. You know the plot; five friends travel to a small cabin in the forest, looking for a good time, but when they find a tape recorder and mysterious book in cellar, all hell breaks lose as the young people begin to turn into evil demons and it's up to Bruce Campbell to try and stop it in the 1981 directorial debut of Sam Raimi, The Evil Dead.

Next, we head back to the cabin for even more demonic hi-jinx. Bruce Campbell returns as Ash in this sequel/remake, that finds him again at a secluded cabin with his girlfriend. Once again a mysterious book and tape recorder unleash demons from another world that cause a variety of gory and zany things to happen to anyone that happens to stop by, in the horror-comedy classic Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn from 1987.

And finally, we head out to the theater to catch the brand new entry under the Evil Dead imprint, the Fede Alvarez directed remake/reboot Evil Dead from 2013. This new version gained a lot of buzz before its release for promising to remain true to the spirit of the original and deliver an onslaught of practical gore effects. Does it live up to the hype? You'll have to tune in to find out.

All this plus witty banter between friends, Nerd News, this week's DVD & blu-ray releases, complete confidentiality, no police involvement, songs about trees, stories about Mary Woronov, Donald Lloyd of the Junk Food Dinner Warehouse, Junk (voice)Mails, and so much more!

Hey, Junkies. We mentioned this on the new episode (JFD155), but we're gonna mention it here, to properly document everything and for our deaf listeners, who can't hear the podcast.

We want to hear your ideal episode of Junk Food Dinner. Pick three movies. Your favorite movies, perhaps. Or 3 movies you think would make a cool theme together. Or movies you think we'd love. Or movies you think we'd love to hate. Whatever it is. There's only one rule. Make sure we haven't already done those movies. For maximum accuracy, you can search our handy, up-to-date list of every movie we've ever done on the left sidebar over there. Or you can check out our Letterboxd list. Oh, and send just one ideal show. You can't send like 20. This is your ONE dream show you wanna hear.

Email your ideal shows to jfdpodcast at gmail dot com by May 6, and we'll read them on the show and argue until we decide on one. Then we'll be doing your show for JFD160, the following week.

Oh, and here's the best part! When you win, we'll get at your for your address so we can scale your lattice wall or kick in your basement window to deliver* a sweet ThanksKilling 3 poster signed by the creators, Jordan Downey and Kevin Stewart! So, thanks to those dudes for providing the cool prize. And go buy or rent ThanksKilling 3 if you haven't seen it because there's some pretty great puns and it's one of the prettiest movies we've ever seen. IN SPACE.

This week, we do three flicks suggested by and voted on by the listeners!

First, two slacker friends spend all their time planning for an apocalypse when they're hit with reality in 2011's "Bellflower," directed by, written by and starring Evan Glodell. This flick was shot for a measly $17,000 and has a beautiful and unique look to it. Also, flame throwers and stuff.

Next, Jennifer Connelly is a young girl who can telepathically speak to insects. Needless to say, she teams up with Donald Pleasence and a lazer-guided chimp to catch a serial killer in Dario Argento's 1985 flick "Phenomena," aka "Creepers."

Finally, Indonesian director Arizal brings us a tale of justice, revenge, explosions and almost being Sylvester Stallone in 1986's "The Stabilizer," released in the US by Troma.

All this plus witty banter between friends, Nerd News, this week's DVD & blu-ray releases, brain damage as an accurate metaphor for a break up, complete confidentiality, no police involvement, the craziest deus machina ever, Donald Lloyd of the Junk Food Dinner Warehouse, Junk (voice)Mails, and so much more!

Creeps, low-lifes, scumbags, hoodlums and petty thieves beware! This week on JFD, it's all about Charles Bronson cleaning up the streets as we examine the first three Death Wish films.

Up first, Charles Bronson stars as Paul Kersey, a liberal architect in New York City. But when a group of thugs (including a young Jeff Goldblum) attack his family, leaving his wife dead and his daughter in a catatonic state, Paul is forced to take the law into his own hands. Armed with his new .32 Colt revolver, Paul hits the filthy streets of the Big Apple and begins a vigilante killing spree. Soon Paul is making the news and gaining the attention of the police chief Frank Ochoa played by Vincent Gardenia in the 1974 crime drama that started it all, Death Wish.

Then, Bronson is back as  Paul Kersey, only this time he and his daughter have relocated to L.A., but Paul quickly learns that The City of Angels is not much better than New York, when another group of thugs (this time including a young Lawrence Fishburn) wreak havoc on his family. Of course, it's not long before Paul is taking his .380 Beretta pistol out for some more creep hunting, all while trying to avoid the cops (including a reprise role from Vincent Gardenia) in the long-awaited sequel Death Wish 2 from 1982.

And finally, our hero Paul Kersey moves back to New York only to find his friend dead and his neighborhood overrun by cartoonish punks (this time including a young Alex Winter) who are menacing the innocent folks of the community. Needless to say, Charles Bronson isn't going to just sit around and let this happen, as he is soon, once again, mowing down scumbags left and right in the most over-the-top and violent entry into the series, Death Wish 3 from 1985.

All this plus witty banter between friends, Nerd News, this week's DVD & VHS releases, complete confidentiality, no police involvement, songs about vigilantes, Donald Lloyd of the Junk Food Dinner Warehouse, Junk (voice)Mails, and so much more!

Many of the films released by The Cannon Group (aka Cannon Films) in and around the 1980s have established themselves as cult classics. This week, we'll take a look at three cult gems produced by Israeli cousins Menahem Golan (who had directed The Apple) and Yoram Globus, the pair of whom had purchased Cannon for $500,000 in 1979. In doing so, we'll encounter sex, lies, videotape, deodorants, big feetsmen, boom boxes, rap talkers, and belts aplenty.

First up, Roy Scheider's being blackmailed by a trio of well-cast blackmailers led by John Glovers (Gremlins 2: The New Batch) while his wife (Ann-Margret) tries to run for city councilwoman. With his mistress, Kelly Preston (Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared Sin) already brutally offed by the blackmailers, how will Scheider ensure his wife's safety while pitting his foes against each other? Find out in our first Cannon film of the evening, 1986's 52 Pick-Up!

Next, we throw down the cardboard and start dancing to the rap talker's beat, with 1984's Breakin'! A frustrated young jazz dancer played by Lucinda Dickey meets up with two break-dancers, O-Zone and Turbo. Together they become the sensation of the street crowds, which includes Jean-Claude Van Damme for no reason. Also, Ice-T is the rap talker for this film.

Finally, it's the apocalypse but that's neggy a bad thing as that sasquatch is totally hot plastic. The comedic post-apocalyptic VHS classic adventure flick America 3000 from 1986 has a bigfoot with a boom box. What else could you ask for?

All this plus witty banter between friends, the battle royale for the Listener Theme Show contest, complete confidentiality, no police involvement, electro rock, animal cruelty, Junk (voice)Mails, Dennis Leary and so much more!

Listener Nick won us over and won the big contest, so we're doing his Ideal JFD episode!

First, Jason's back and only horror fanatic Corey Feldman can stop him in 1984's Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. The fourth film in the series promised to be the last, directed by Joseph Zito and co-starring Crispin Glover.

Next, Arnold Schwarzenegger is forced to fight for his life on a deadly game show in 1987's The Running Man, based on a book by Stephen King and co-starring Jesse Ventura, Yaphet Kotto and Richard Dawson.

Finally, summer campers get stuck in a cave after a big fart, so they pass the time talking about their first sexual encounters in Troma's The First Turn on! from 1983, directed by Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz.

Grab a couple buddies, get in your souped-up van and watch out for aliens and apocalyptic punks because a new episode of JFD is here! And even better, this week we're joined by professional podcaster Mike Dikk from Kissing Contest.

Up first, five teams of college students are summoned by Leon: The Game Master, to participate in "The Great Allnighter", a complex scavenger hunt that takes the teens all over L.A. looking for clues and causing wacky hi-jinx along the way in 1980's Midnight Madness. This unlikely Disney movie stars a lot of recognizable young faces, such as David Naughton (American Werewolf in London), Stephen Furst (Animal House), Eddie Deezen (Surf II) and the film debut of Michael J. Fox.

Next, a group of second-string football players (including Zack Ward [A Christmas Story] who can't stop smoking pot), "ugly" cheerleaders and their inept principal (Stella Stevens) has their bus mysteriously break down in "the hood" on the way back from a game. But when they ask for help from Roddy McDowall, a visiting alien in disguise, they become pawns in his deadly game of Predator (rip-off) and prey in the 1996 straight-to-video sci-fi thriller Star Hunter, co-directed by Fred Olen Ray.

And finally, in the not-too-distant future a deadly virus has broken out across the British isles, leading to the complete quarantine of Scotland and turning it into a post-apocalyptic wasteland. But when a potential cure is suspected to exist inside the island, the British government (including Bob Hoskins) sends an elite special agent (Rhona Mitra) on a special mission inside the island to retrieve the cure from Malcolm McDowell. However, it won't be easy as along the way she must battle an army of post-apocalyptic punks,  medieval thugs and even those she thought she could trust in the over-the-top action hybrid Doomsday from 2008, directed by Neil Marshall.

All this plus witty banter between friends, Nerd News, this week's DVD & blu-ray releases, complete confidentiality, no police involvement, insane revelations by Parker, cannibalism, Donald Lloyd of the Junk Food Dinner Warehouse, Junk (voice)Mails, and so much more!

From Hawaii to Korea and back to the American West, hop in the car and take a cruise with us to cult movie locales far and wide as we discuss three far-flung movies on this week's Junk Food Dinner!

First, join us on the banks of the Han River in Seoul, South Korea as we do battle with THE HOST from 2006! Will Korea's number one Kaiju capture the Park family with its long tentacles, or will they manage to chop up that monster like a plate of sushi?

Next, we settle in for a long journey and some good tunes as ex-racecar driver Kowalski is chased across the desert by police, all while racing from his own past. It's the proto-Death Proof, VANISHING POINT from 1971.

Finally, a bunch of bombs go off amidst a bevy of bullets and boobs, but is it enough to save this Andy Sidaris flick from its own baffling plot? Find out when we discuss PICASSO TRIGGER from 1988.

All this plus witty banter between friends, Nerd News, this week's DVD & blu-ray releases, no Vampyros Lesbos, complete confidentiality, no police involvement, naked motorcycling, poorly disguised telephone repairmen, Junk (voice)Mails, and so much more!

This week, we celebrate the VHS format with guest Dan Kinem, co-director of "Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS Collector." We talk to Dan about VHS collecting, the documentary, his recent treasure hunts and tons more. Then we review three movies that have never made it to DVD.

Then, two losers resort to grave robbing, which sends them on a downward spiral of immorality in the Shot-On-Video flick, "Darkest Soul." Writer/Director Doug Ulrich blends genres in this 1996 Baltimore movie.

Next, a group of kids make the transition into adulthood in 1984's "The Wild Life," written by Cameron Crowe. The flick features a cast that would grow up to be stars including Chris Penn, Eric Stolz, Lea Thompson and Rick Moranis. The movie harkens back to "Fast Times" but with more of a sex-comedy feel.

Finally, facing eviction, a bunch elderly folks take a stand in 1974's "Homebodies." A comedy/drama/horror flick filmed in Kevin's hometown of Cincinnati. (He's very proud of Pete Rose.)

It's Time.

Time for Junk Food Dinner to decide their 500th movie. And, of course, by "Junk Food Dinner," we mean "The JFD Listeners." If you've been with us a while, you'll know that we celebrate every 100th movie we do by giving it an episode all its own. And those movies have been voted on by you dudes.

It's a doozy of a week here at Junk Food Dinner. First, we fire up the old Randomizer 5000, and load it up with dozens of strange, off-beat and just plain bad flicks and see what three it spits out for us to watch on an upcoming episode. What movies did the Randomizer deal us? Tune in to find out!

Then we get into our movies this week, and it only gets crazier.

Up first, we take a look at the post-apocalyptic, sci-fi, action movie Manborg from 2011. This stylized low-budget flick from the Astron 6 crew is about a soldier (Matthew Kennedy from Father's Day) who is killed while fighting against the army from Hell (literally) but is brought back to life as half man, half cyborg. But life on Earth hasn't gotten much better, as he and a group of rogue misfits must battle robots, demons and finally the evil Count Draculon. Shot almost entirely in front of green screens and for the ridiculously small budget of $1,000, this goofy film directed by young filmmaker Steven Kostanski is a model for sci-fi efficiency.

Then, in Southern Comfort from 1981, a group of soldiers in the Louisiana National Guard, including Keith Carradine, Powers Boothe, Fred Ward and T.K. Carter, find themselves in actual combat after stealing some canoes from a group of rustic Cajuns. Things escalate quickly as the men are forced to fight for their lives and try to navigate their way our of the dense Louisiana swamp in this gritty "war" drama directed by Walter Hill.

And finally, the movie so... uh... "nice", they mad it twice. Yes, that's right, those shitty CGI birds are back in Birdemic 2: The Resurrection from 2013. Once again, director James Nguyen reunites all your favorite good looking (but bad acting) characters to do battle with killer birds and preach to you about the importance of living a green lifestyle. Lovers of bad cinema rejoice!

All this plus witty banter between friends, Nerd News, this week's DVD & blu-ray releases, complete confidentiality, no police involvement, the Randomizer ,catastrophe, Donald Lloyd of the Junk Food Dinner Warehouse, Junk (voice)Mails, and so much more!

Break out the marshmallows, take off your tube top, and get ready to scream your way through Junk Food Dinner's second annual Summer Camp Theme Show! This week, we explore three very different summer camp experiences that leave us mosquito-bitten, poison-ivied, sun-burned, and tank-trampled.

First up, a hoary hoard of horny whores commit ritualistic suicide and vow to return from the dead to torment the Christian zealots who shut down their beloved Sunny Buttocks Nudist Colony in 1991's Nudist Colony of the Dead! This low-budget musical-comedy-horror from Mark Pirro (Polish Vampire in Burbank, Deathrow Gameshow) foreshadows several elements we'd see later in Cannibal: The Musical. Witness quality musical numbers such as "Kill Kill Kill All the Zealots", "Zombie Rap", and "It's an Inky Dinky Doo Dah Morning". Forrest J. Ackerman has a cameo as Judge Rhinehole.

Next, we travel to Camp Rolling Hills, just 60 miles shy of the infamous Camp Arawak, where Angela killed so many campers not long ago. She returns to kill the naughty campers in 1988's Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers, but this time the horror elements have been replaced with comedic satire. Will any of the campers escape the righteously evil Angela? We'll spoil it for you!

Finally, we head down to Camp Oskemo, a Jewish summer camp in the Catskills region, where shouting very loud is a popular pastime. There are barnyard animals, silly faces, the world's weirdest kid, and tanks crashing through walls. It's chaotic and crazy and Mr. Sumatra from Shrunken Heads is in it. This is the wacky world of Gorp.

All this plus witty banter between friends, Nerd News, this week's DVD & blu-ray releases, complete confidentiality, no police involvement, kickstarters galore, weird redheaded kids, Forrest J. Ackerman, Junk (voice)Mails, and so much more!
