BMFcast214 – Doodlebug and Pickle
Cleopatra Jones (1973) is week 4’s Blaxpoitation History Month movie. Random things unfold and a plot just kind of happens but at least we get one of the best car chases we’ve seen somewhere in the middle. Plus the most likeable criminal crew you could find.
Second half we discuss the Robocops, both 1987 and 2014, In Bruges and catch up a little on TV talk. Enjoy!

BMFcast212 – Ensign Stargrove
Sheba, Baby (1975) is our second movie for Blaxploitation History Month. Pam Grier is Sheba Shayne who decides to avenge her father and take on the mob single handed. Problem is the plot has her talk the talk but forgets to have her walk the walk.
Second half we revisit a few random movies, take listener correspondence and take a moment to reflect on the loss of Philip Seymour Hoffman.
