Episode 180 – Eric Roberts is the Man – Royal Kill...

Cinema Smorgasbord ·

2023/07/24

Retired pro-wrestler Gail Kim, Pat Morita and Eric Roberts (and Eric Roberts' hair!) star in the bizarre 2009 action fantasy ROYAL KILL, which features a totally bonkers twist and.. not a lot else! Alexander Wraith plays Adam Arthavan, a royal guard sent to protect a young girl - unknowingly the daughter of his king - from Gail Kim's silent assassin. It's kind of like The Terminator, except infinitely worse! Talking with us about Royal Kill (aka Ninja's Creed) is restaurateur, chef and Nova Scotian

2023/07/17

On this swashbuckling episode of FURTHER REEDING we're diving into Richard Lester's incredibly entertaining 1973 action comedy THE THREE MUSKETEERS, starring Michael York, Frank Finlay, Richard Chamberlain, Raquel Welch, Christopher Lee, Charlton Heston and - of course - Oliver Reed as Athos. Playing a character who is a heavy drinker and fighter might not have been a stretch for Reed, but he still got up to plenty of trouble on-set and we go through some of the more memorable stories and incidents

JodoWOWsky returns with a trifecta of Alejandro Jodorowsky-penned comic work from the 1990s, starting with the fantastical (and very odd) MOON FACE from 1992 (illustrated by François Boucq), then moving into the playfully erotic Angel Claws from 1994 (with explicit illustrations by Jean "Moebius" Giraud), and finishing with the western-tinged action-filled redemption tale Son of the Gun from 1995 (illustrated by Georges Bess). We also check out all the latest Alejandro Jodorowsky news, as well as

2023/07/03

We're getting silly on a brand new episode of George Kennedy is my Copilot with Greydon Clark's Airplane-inspired horror spoof WACKO from 1982 featuring Joe Don Baker, Stella Stevens, Julia Duffy, Andrew "not yet Dice" Clay and - of course - George Kennedy as the kinda creepy Mr. Doctor Graves! It's full of sight gags, puns, Hitchcock references and not a heck of a lot else. We also fit in a discussion on the Clint Black video for "Summer's Comin'" which features a lovely George Kennedy cameo

On this episode of Cinema Fantastica we travel all the way to Molins de Rei, near Barcelona, Spain to attend the 1990 edition of the Molins Horror Film Festival. Or, more accurately, we're attending the Dotze hores de Cine de Terror de Molins de Rei, a ten hour marathon of recent horror movies that was initially established way back in 1973! The 1990 edition featured a slew of interesting horror films, and our hosts have chosen two to battle against each other: the super-intelligent dog chased by a

We're getting WILD IN THE STREETS with Henry Silva and Woody Strode in Fernando Di Leo's THE ITALIAN CONNECTION from 1972! Starring Mario Adorf as a Milanese pimp wanted by the mob for a crime he didn't commit, it takes its time getting going, but eventually turns into a story of violent revenge, including one of the finest chase sequences you're likely to ever see! We discuss some of our other favorite chase scenes, Liam's crime connections and SO MUCH MORE. Check it out! The post Episode 175 –

On this high kicking episode of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VIC DIAZ? we're setting off with a nudity-filled sexploitation comedy mixed with a martial arts action film featuring a dash of the living dead, cannibalism, Nazis, explosions and a heck of a lot more with the wild 1981 mashup RAW FORCE from director Edward D. Murphy! Starring Cameron Mitchell, Geoffrey Binney, Hope Holiday, FIRECRACKER's Jillian Kesner and - of course - Vic Diaz, this one is goofy as hell, and occasionally lives up to its extra

We've waited a long time to get into it, but on this episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? we're finally checking out Quentin Tarantino's breakthrough 1992 crime drama RESERVOIR DOGS, starring Harvey Keitel, Michael, Madsen, Tim Roth, Chris Penn, and - of course - Steve Buscemi as Mr. Pink. We discuss its triumphs and controversies, as well as how our feelings on the film - and Tarantino - have changed over the past thirty years.

On a very uncomfortable new episode of PRAISING KANE - the world's finest chronological Carol Kane podcast - we look at the incredibly bad taste Australian comedy NORMAN LOVES ROSE from 1982, featuring a young boy's fascination with his sister-in-law evolving into a sexual relationship that ends up with her pregnant. Yeah, it's bad. We also chat about all the latest Carol Kane news (Star Trek! Taxi!) and question our life choices. CHECK IT OUT! The post Episode 172 – Praising Kane – Norman Loves

2023/05/22

On a landmark episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS, Jackie Chan has signed a huge contract with Golden Harvest which promises creative and financial freedom, and he kicks things off with the 1980 kung-fu comedy THE YOUNG MASTER! While at the same time his old boss Lo Wei wants his now-bankable star back and is willing to work with Triads to make it happen. UH OH! It's a perilous time in Jackie's career and will soon push him off to America for a while, but in the meantime we can enjoy this enormously

On this episode of ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN we're going all in on Damien Chazelle's overstuffed ode to the silent era BABYLON, which stars Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Diego Calva, Tobey Maguire and - of course - the man himself Eric Roberts! Filled with spewing bodily fluids, orgies, murder, rat eating and snake wrestling, it's both an ode to the end of a cinematic era and a commentary on the current changing face of movie-going. Fun, right? I guess we'll see! We also chat about drunk driving, guns,

On this episode of Bartel Me Something good we're checking out Paul Bartel's inauspicious 1984 screwball comedy NOT FOR PUBLICATION, starring Nancy Allen, David Naughton and Laurence Luckinbill! Allen plays Lois Thornedyke, a tabloid reporter aiming to go clean, while simultaneously working for the mayor of New York (Luckinbill) who is - wait for it - trying to get rid of "porno papers", like the one she's working at!

On this episode of WILD IN THE STREETS we're going long with the late Ruggero Deodato's one and only eurocrime film, the absolutely bizarre buddy-cop action classic LIVE LIKE A COP, DIE LIKE A MAN. Featuring plenty of homoeroticism, quarry target practice, straight up murder and EXPLOSIONS, it takes the template set by earlier European action films and goes completely overboard, with two lead characters who flaunt conventions (and legality) while mowing down anyone who gets in their way - sometimes

We're back wondering WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VIC DIAZ? and this time we're looking at one of Vic's most memorable and outstanding roles, playing THE DEVIL in Eddie Romero's 1971 creature feature THE BEAST OF THE YELLOW NIGHT. Diaz's Satan has brought John Ashley's Joseph Langdon back to life to do his evil bidding, and also every so often he turns into a strange Wolfman-esque creature who lusts for blood. HUMAN BLOOD!
