The podcast that dares to ask the question, if this movie is so bad, why do you like it so much? Linktr.ee/favoritebadmoviepod
Don't forget, this Thursday, in the Discord!
FUN FACT: This week's movie, Hot to Trot, was originally supposed to star Joan Rivers and Elliot Gould! When Rivers had to drop out due to her commitment to her talk show and test audiences hated Gould's take on a talking horse, they were replaced by Bobcat Goldthwait and John Candy, respecrively!
The Beastmaster's simple, beefy hero, Dar, is not very good at naming his beasts
RIP to Sam Neill, an actor so good that we have yet to cover a single one of his films.
Another month of solid bangers, coming down the pike! We've got Michael McDaniel of @rootsareshowingpod.bsky.social with The Beastmaster, Sharon Cunningham with Hot to Trot, @jjdotbiz.bsky.social with Uncle Drew, and @christyadmiraal.bsky.social with Heavyweights!
Latest additions to the Soundtracks of Movies We've Covered Collection are The Pit and Graveyard Shift, both put out by a label called @terrorvisionvids.bsky.social. Absolutely in love with the track listing on The Pit. Tag yourself, I'm First Football Kiss.
Of the many wild choices in THIR13EN GHOSTS, one of the wildest is doing nothing with Tony Shalhoub
FUN FACT: All the walls, ceilings, and floors for the haunted house set in Thir13en Ghosts were made of glass to differentiate it from your traditional dark gothic haunted house. Unfortunately, this meant a lot of time wasted avoiding reflections and finding hiding spots for crew and equipment.
How could I choose? Would you ask me to choose my favorite sunset? Just kidding it's this.
John Sharp (The Boss) and Donald Pleasence (The Doctor) make great, funny villains in the Italian buddy comedy WATCH OUT, WE'RE MAD!
FUN FACT! The stars of this week's movie, Bud Spencer and Terence Hill, were the most successful comedy duo in Italian cinematic history. Their most successful film, Trinity Is Still My Name, sold more tickets than La Dolce Vita; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly; and Titanic.
Chris's Birthday Film Festival starts tonight with Leprechaun 4: In Space! BE THERE!!
Yeah, the protagonist of Beyond Darkness taxidermied his girlfriend, but he's not WEIRD
FUN FACT: The 1979 Buio Omega (Beyond the Darkness) was re-released in 1987 as In quella casa Buio Omega (In The House Beyond Darkness). This was an attempt to tie it into the La Casa series, which is what the Italians called Evil Dead.
The latest addition to the soundtrack collection. Can't wait to crank the volume to 11 and play Drinkenstein on repeat.
The video game is Serenity (2019) is kind of a...sexy open-world fishing simulator?
FUN FACT: Around here, Serenity (2019) is remembered for having the worst plot twist ever put on film, but in the island nation of Mauritius where it was filmed, it's remembered for Serenitygate, a scandal involving Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth and $6 million worth of misappropriated rupees.
Director Wolfgang Peterson didn't want to show Helen in TROY; the studio had other ideas
It's another month of killer eps coming down the pike! We've got Serenity (2019), Beyond the Darkness featuring @markinternet.bsky.social, Watch Out, We're Mad! with @hunsweasel.bsky.social, and Thir13en Ghosts with Jesse Black of Savant Garde. Get psyched!
FUN FACT: When Troy was in pre-production, WB wanted Wolfgang Peterson to direct, but he was already working on Batman vs Superman. When that fell through, he came back to work on Troy, knocking out his replacement, Christopher Nolan, who got Batman Begins as a consolation prize!
Timothy Farrell's mustached lothario Joe in GUN GIRLS is an accomplished fence & a swell kisser
FUN FACT: The cinematographer on our movie this week (Gun Girls) was William C Thompson. He also shot Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space AND Evangeline, the first feature film ever shot in Canada. He was blind in one eye and colorblind in the other, but it doesn't matter when you're shooting 2D B&W!
Latest addition to the Soundtracks of Movies We've Covered Collection
A partial list of activities one can enjoy as a nudist on the Moon, in the 1961 film NUDE ON THE MOON:
FUN FACT: Doris Wishman directed her first film, Hideout in the Sun (a nudist picture about a pair of bank robbers hiding out in a nudist colony) at the age of 48. She would go on to direct thirty feature films, making her one of the most prolific female directors of the sound era!
