2023/12/11

It's the 200th episode of Cinema Smorgasbord, a podcast devoted to obsessively examining the careers of underloved and underappreciated actors and directors. Since we started in 2020 we've created over a dozen sub-podcasts devoted to such diverse topics as the careers of Paul Bartel (Bartel Me Something Good), Dick Miller (You Don't Know Dick), Steve Buscemi (How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?), Jackie Chan (We Do Our Own Stunts), Oliver Reed (Further Reeding), George Kennedy (George Kennedy is my

2023/12/04

This is a Cinema Smorgasbord first! An episode of Praising Kane where one host NEVER FOUND HER in the film! Admittedly, tracking down Carol Kane in CAN SHE BAKE A CHERRY PIE? is a bit of a feat, especially when she's competing with the talents of Karen Black and Michael Emil at the core of Henry Jaglom's odd 1983 romantic comedy. Somehow she's in it less than both Larry David (who has a memorable scene) and ORSON WELLES, who appears on a television screen in some old footage. What did our hosts make

Jackie Chan ends his first American excursion on this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS with Hal Needham's star-studded 1981 cross country race movie THE CANNONBALL RUN, where he plays a Japanese (?) race car driver who watches porn in his futuristic vehicle and also kicks the hell out of Peter Fonda for some reason. He's racing against a who's who of early 80s celebs, including - of course - Burt Reynolds and (Liam O'Donnell favorite) Dom DeLuise, as well as Farrah Fawcett, Roger Moore, Jamie Farr,

On a brand new episode of YOU DON'T KNOW DICK (the world's finest Dick Miller-themed podcast) we're joined by director/writer/editor Luke Higginson (director of the Rhys Darby-starring sci-fi comedy RELAX, I'M FROM THE FUTURE!) to discuss the fab four (aka THE BEATLES), Eddie Deezen, the career of Robert Zemeckis and the 1978 rock 'n roll comedy I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND! Oh, and we also talk about Dick Miller, of course. JOIN US! The post Episode 197 – You Don’t Know Dick – I Wanna Hold Your Hand

Leslie Nielsen is leading a group of brainwashed, drugged up SUPER SOLDIERS in the Philippines but after taking a break from his daily dose of super soldier serum he starts to grow a conscience and goes on the run, with his first-in-command Gary Lockwood hot on his trail in William Girdler's conspiracy action film PROJECT: KILL from 1976. If you like seeing two old, not-very-flexible actors throwing kicks and uppercuts while Filipino stuntmen go flying, this is the movie for you. Best of all SPECIAL

JodoWOWsky returns with a hodge-podge of Alejandro Jodorowsky projects, including some acting roles from the early 2000s, a television adaptation of one his Métal hurlant comics, and a somewhat bizarre credit for the 2003 French computer animated feature KAENA: THE PROPHECY! We investigate what all of this could mean, while digging deep on all the latest Jodorowsky news. CHECK IT OUT!

It's the spookiest time of the year, and that means the return of the beloved ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN podcast with a special HALLOWEEN-themed horror episode, featuring Atomic Elbow's Robert Newsome as our VERY SPECIAL GUEST! Our guest is treated to the spine-chilling 2023 horror film NIGHT OF THE CAREGIVER from western director/actor Joe Cornet, and starring THE EXORCIST's Eileen Dietz, Natalie Denise Sperl and - of course - Eric Roberts!

The world's finest Steve Buscemi-themed podcast returns earlier than usual so we can celebrate SPOOKY SEASON with Jim Jarmusch's bizarre zombie horror comedy THE DEAD DON'T DIE from 2019! With a bonkers all-star cast (including Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, Chloë Sevigny, Selena Gomez, Austin Butler, Iggy Pop, Carol Kane, RZA, Danny Glover.. and STEVE BUSCEMI) the film was received with confusion upon release but has a amassed a rapidly growing following.

The tradition lives with another super SPOOOoooOKY Cinema Smorgasbord Halloween Special! As per usual, we're BREAKING FORMAT and taking a look at two recently-released horror films, starting with Liam's choice of the dialogue-free sci-fi horror of Brian Duffield's NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU, followed by the creepy mystery of Samuel Bodin's intensely Halloween-themed COBWEB (starring Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr). As is part of our yearly Halloween celebration we chat a bit about some other recent horror

On this episode of BARTEL ME SOMETHING GOOD we're off to the races with the Tim Conway-penned and Mike Nichols-produced gambling comedy THE LONGSHOT, starring Conway, Harvey Korman, Jack Weston and Ted Waas! A passion project for Tim Conway (and a work-for-hire gig for Paul Bartel) it's.. a bit of an odd duck, but it DOES have a theme song rapped by Conway AND Ice-T! Enjoy!

On this episode of FURTHER REEDING, Oliver Reed and Amanda Donohoe have only gone and got themselves stranded on a desert island and have to survive, but - GET THIS - they did it on purpose in Nicolas Roeg's CASTAWAY from 1986. Based on a bizarre true story, it involves a whole lot of nudity and Oliver Reed acting like a maniac so you know we had to talk about it. Sadly, it's a bit hard to track down (unless you write the title and year of release into YouTube), so you'll just have to listen to us

On this episode of GEORGE KENNEDY IS MY CO-PILOT our merry trio is diving into the fiery drama TICK, TICK, TICK from 1970 starring Jim Brown, Fredric March, Clifton James and - of course - George Kennedy! Brown stars as the newly elected Sheriff of a very, very racist southern county, while Kennedy is the now ex-Sheriff who is semi-committed to keeping him alive. Spoiler: it's not easy! Before that we discuss another George Kennedy commercial (for California-based tech company TOTLCOM), and try our

On this jam-packed episode of Praising Kane, our chronological look at the career of Carol Kane continues, starting with brief discussions about a mid-70s Dr. Pepper commercial, as well an early 80s adaptation of Irwin Shaw's The Girls in Their Summer Dresses featuring both Carol Kane and Jeff Bridges! After the break we turn our attention to the surprisingly star-studded drama AN INVASION OF PRIVACY from 1983 featuring Valerie Harper, Richard Masur, Jerry Orbach, Jeff Daniels, Sarah Michelle Gellar

We're back on HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? with the Steve Buscemi-directed prison drama (based on the Edward Bunker book) ANIMAL FACTORY from 2000, starring Edward Furlong & Willem Dafoe, along with a killer supporting cast. Starring Buscemi-verse regulars like Seymour Cassel, Mark Boone Junior, and Rockets Redglare, you also get memorable supporting performances from Danny Trejo, Mickey Rourke, Tom Arnold(!) and.. wait for it.

On this episode of WILD IN THE STREETS, Tomas Milian is RAMBO in Umberto Lenzi's spaghetti-western influenced SYNDICATE SADISTS from 1975! After Rambo's friend is brutally murdered, he takes it upon himself to go up against two criminal gangs (one led by Joseph Cotton's Paternò), while also rescuing a young boy who has been kidnapped. Does he manage to embarrass them all while everyone gazes on him in total awe? Yep! Check it out! The post Episode 186 – Wild in the Streets – Syndicate Sadists

On this episode of YOU DON'T KNOW DICK we're boldly going where no podcast has gone before with Dick Miller in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine two-parter 'Past Tense'. Wildly considered one of the best (and most prescient) episodes of the series, it looks at the state of cities in the far off future of 2024 and how struggling people are carted off to walled off 'sanctuaries', and one of the people guarding these sanctuaries is none other than Dick Miller.

Jackie Chan in AMERICA! On this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS Jackie makes his first American excursion to star in the Robert Clouse directed comedy-action vehicle THE BIG BRAWL (aka BATTLE CREEK BRAWL). Despite Jackie knowing very little English (and having to promote the film on American television) and working a very different style than he was used to, the film is actually a ton of fun - as long as you don't go in expecting the acrobatic fighting from his recent Hong Kong films.

They took his girl. Now he's talking them STRAIGHT TO HELL! On this episode of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VIC DIAZ we're getting properly post-apocalyptic with Cirio H. Santiago's Mad Max-"inspired", giant gun classic EQUALIZER 2000 starring Richard Norton (/w frosted tips), Corinne Wahl and a VERY young Robert Patrick in only his second ever role! There's lots of gunfire, explosions and - blissfully - almost no plot to be concerned with, and it delivers the promise of a very big gun that mows down tons

We tried. We tried our best to find some small piece of enjoyment in Dennis Dugan's bafflingly misguided I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK & LARRY, a film about two straight firefighters (played by Adam Sandler & Kevin James) who decide to get married in order to deal with some uncomfortable pension-related paperwork. Overstuffed with pitiful racist, sexist and homophobic stereotypes, it's - even worse - completely unfunny, and has a horribly confused message at its core. Yeesh. Anyway, we get angry about

Yee-haw! We're going back to the wild west on this episode of Bartel Me Something good with Paul Bartel's 1984 comedy western LUST IN THE DUST starring Tab Hunter, Lainie Kazan and the legendary Divine! Originally envisioned as a John Waters project, Bartel ruffled against making a Waters-style film and instead brings his own wild and unpredictable sensibility (while still not skimping on the bad taste). It has musical numbers, butt tattoos, Cesar Romero, death via oral sex and so much more. Check
