BMFcast66 – Six
Ooo wee ooo he looks just like Buddy Holly.
Six-String Samurai (1998) is the story of Buddy the Rockabilly Samurai who must reach Lost Vegas to be the new King after Elvis’ death. Yeah, it’s got promise, but we’ll be the judge of the finished product.
Then the second half is all about the best of 2010. Find out our Golden Jox winner of the year. Plus, a few listener voicemails on the Garfield Phone Hotline.

BMFcast65 – Michael Keaton’s Fishing Yacht
You can almost see the remorse in his eyes.
Jack Frost (1998) helps us celebrate Christmas with a children’s horror favorite. See the most frightening thing Jim Henson’s Creature Shop may have ever created as Michael Keaton is turned into an abominable snowman ghost dad. Oh wait, it’s not a horror movie? Coulda fooled us.
Then it’s our Tron Swan song as we talk Tron: Legacy and Black Swan in the second half. Plus some listener voicemails from the Garfield Phone Hotline.

BMFcast64 – OMG
The Wizard
The Wizard (1989) is reviewed for episode (SIXTY FOOOOOUUURR). It’s a 100 minute Nintendo commercial where they decided to remake Rain Man.
Then we bask in the shared experience of live showing of The Room, Maki goes to see The Chronic(what)cles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and we talk a few movies from the world of home video.
Apologies and thanks to Chris Remo of Idle Thumbs for years of laughs, wizards and perhaps an unauthorized sample included in this episode. If you like viji games, you should listen to the archives of this wonderful podcast. And if you don’t understand the joke of this episode, watch this video.

BMFcast63 – In Soviet Russia
Comrade Laserface
Firehead (1991) gets a review this week. Ivan is a former Soviet on the run in America blowing up weapons facilities. Oh and he can shoot lasers from his eyes. How could this go wrong? It’s high concept and low budget. Does it work?
Then in the second half, we take a call from (former) fan in Oman. Then it’s moviepalooza as we talk How To Train Your Dragon, Predators, Bronson, Following and more. It’s chock full of talk!
