BMFcast313 – State Senator Stephen Stills
Sweet Jesus, Preacherman (1973) wraps up this year’s Blaxploitation History Month. Can TC from Magnum PI convince us he’s a hitman convincing churchgoers he’s their new preacher? Will he clean up the streets or end as shady as William Smith (yes, him, again), who hired him? Also, can the movie possibly live up to its awesome poster?
The second half is turned over to you, the listeners as we take a boatload of e-mails and voicemails discussing movies that misunderstand technology, Lucha Underground, blaxploitation’s role in modern entertainment, and even the very essence of Chuck Fine™. Enjoy!

BMFcast312 – The Hamburger Pimp
Trouble Man (1972) continues Blaxploitation History Month as Robert Hooks plays Mr. T, the coolest protagonist in the history of cool protagonists. He never loses his head, even when caught between multiple gangs and a police chief out to get him. Trust us, watch this movie.
After the break Harlo tells us how much he loves Deadpool while Chuck continues the Ryan Reynolds train as he takes the bullet and watches R.I.P.D. Enjoy!

BMFcast311 – Please Hammer, Hurt Them
Hammer (1972) continues Blaxploitation History Month with a Fred Williamson classic. He’s a boxer who wants to keep his head down and his nose clean but the entire world wants to tell him he’s terrible. William Smith is along to keep the evil racist quotient as high as possible.
Second half BJ talks Danger 5, Maki reminds us that Unmasking The Idol is awesome, and Harlo visits his vampire side with The Hunger and Near Dark. Then we close out with a new batch of listener e-mails and voicemails. Enjoy!

BMFcast310 – Dollemite
The Human Tornado (1976) begins this year’s Blaxploitation History Month! Rudy Ray Moore returns in the sequel to Dolemite. With a cast of just-as-crazy characters, does this sequel measure up?
After the break BJ gives us his thoughts on Ex Machina and we take a ton of listener correspondence!
