William Lustig's transition from porn to slasher! I know that's not a big leap according to some... What happens when you toss a serial killer, a bunch of mannequins, a beautiful photographer, and one of the best head shots in film history? Maniac- 88 sweaty, sticky, grimy, and still wonderful minutes that paved the way for Henry and many more.
Friedkin's New Hollywood swan song, the last of the gritty and mean 70s cinema, a final hurrah at the birth of what would evolve into modern Hollywood... a remake of Wages of Fear. Four men, all on the run and laying low in a sweltering South American backwater, are drafted to deliver two trucks full of old dynamite. One jolt could set off the sweating nitroglycerin needed to put out an oil fire 218 miles away. Does Sorcerer have the magic to make the trip?
All that AND Kevin hunted wild filmmakers at Frightfest, Tyler releases his pet Mandalorian back into the Disney World swamp, and Dave has no idea where he is or who any of you are and get the hell off his lawn. Join us, won't you?
