Be Wery Wery Quiet, We're Hunting Humans

To celebrate the end of August heat we watch four very special movies about people hunting their own kind. First up, the classic Ozplitation film Turkey Shoot. Next we gaze upon one of cinema's longest shadows and cower at The Most Dangerous Game. Then a film with more nudity than the porns we have had to watch, and Tyler's sly attempt to stack the deck in his favor, Naked Fear. Finally we take a look at yet another dystopian future Japan, they have more than most places, and watch old school chums butcher each other in a Battle Royale.

Episode 117- Be Wery Wery Quiet, We're Hunting Humans

Murder Up

     This week RotP a mostly rightly forgotten Italian slasher from a surprise merging of the minds of Claudio Fragasso and Bruno Mattei, if only Fragasso had known it might be a better movie. A cheap dollar store masked killer is punching his way through the ladies of Virginia Beach, Virginia and absolutely no one has any plan to stop him. A town full of incompetent cops and illegally talkative doctors find their only possible chance to catch the killer is to release his only known surviving victim back out into the world, unsupervised and with a case of total amnesia. 
     Then we take a look back at the last week of 1959, almost two decades before any of us would be born, to wax nostalgic about the old days and witness the rise of kitchen sink comedy later popularized by a certain sitcom and the '90s indie film scene. A group of friends are struggling to find their places in the world, hanging out at the local diner, in the days before one's wedding. 
     All that and Dave limits his tangents to a reasonable number, Tyler might have had the time of his life, and Kevin takes in a couple of stage productions to preserve his classy persona from crumbling under the weight of his late night peeping.

Episode 116- Murder Up!

More Kung-Fu Shark Than Human

    This week Chris steps off the bench to give us Jaws 2. Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, another too far north Great White shows up to ruins the day of the Brody family. Why didn't they move to Nebraska after this? Then Dave forces a whole truck load of 70s Hong Kong Wonderful down throats with Fist of Fury. The legendary Bruce Lee's second major feature where he reinvents and forever owns the role of Chen Zhen, modern mythical Chinese folk hero. Finally, Tyler reclaims his title with Blade Runner. In three months we will have flying cars, interplanetary colonization, and sex bots. Fuck, I love the future!

All that and other stuff... and even junk. Join us, won't we?


EPISODE 115- More Kung-Fu Shark Than Human

Korean BBQ Mason Pills

     This week Anna steps up to offer us a James Mason classic about mental illness and addiction  with the Nicholas Ray's brilliant Bigger Than Life. Then Kevin ups the pressure to keep it classy with Lee Chang-dong's 2018 adaption of Haruki Murakami, Burning.

Ain't No Party Like A Larry Clark Party

     This week, Tyler's long held dream of a Teens Gone Wild special is finally realized! Of course, like all the best laid plans, it didn't work out exactly as hoped. First up is Larry Clark's third feature, 2001's Bully, as a group of teens plot to murder their abusive friend. Next we take a trip to Inglewood for Rick Famuyiwa's 2015 coming-of-age comedy with a truly unique voice, Dope. Then Larry Clark returns to make Tyler's dream even better with Marfa Girl. It's all of Clark's kinks in one place... poor kids who look like they escaped from a 90s Calvin Klein ad being naked and not doing or saying anything but they are naked and holding skateboards. I guess that's enough to make a dozen movies about? Sure. Finally, Craig's spanner in the works, Wes Anderson's sophomore feature Rushmore arrives to make T weep and ruin his perfect week. Ha. Serves him right.

Episode 113- Ain't No Party Like A Larry Clark Party. A Teens Gone Wild Special

Frankenstein's Monster's Unusual Stuff and Junk

Due to life stuff and junk we take a detour from our previously scheduled Teens Gone Wild special. We instead mind flay ourselves with some Stranger Things season 3 and Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein. Plus we dissect the Cats trailer and despair for the future.
Also Dave is generally confused, Kevin fights a food coma, and Anna proves the title of Most Vicious Dungeon Master was hard earned.

Spies Lies and a RoboPoe

First up, Fortress, a 1992 American-Australian Sci-Fi coproduction... In a dystopian 2017 Christopher Lambert is sent to prison for trying to have a second child in Canada. Fortunately, he is incarcerated in a cell stuffed full of Stuart Gordon stock actors like a clown car in an orgy. Will Lambert escape? Will he save his lady from the creepy advances of Kurtwood Smith? Probably.
Then the second attempt to adapt one of John le Carre's most popular Cold War thrillers, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. There is a Russian mole hidden somewhere high up in Britain's Intelligence Service. Can George Smiley run the mole to ground before their schemes can reach full fruition? Why did Tomas Alfredson make The Snowman instead of find a way to make The Honorable Schoolboy? In a battle to the death which actor made the best George Smiley?

Plus- Dave gets so edgy he bleeds out. Kevin teaches us all a valuable lesson about life and love. Tyler discovers that even his best laid plans can be worked against him. And Craig brings about wrathful havoc with surgical precision from a safe distance. Join us, won't we?
