BMFcast455 – Come Back Charleston Blue – Junkie With A Monkey
Come Back Charleston Blue (1972) is the sequel to 1970’s Cotton Comes to Harlem and it is terrific. Coffin Ed and Gravedigger Jones are back to solve another case.

BMFcast Extra 107 – The Commuter
The Commuter (2018) might be dismissed as just another far fetched Liam Neeson actioner, but there’s something to this one. It won’t be as good after repeat viewings, but that first time with this movie can be quite the ride.
(Note: This episode was recorded in December 2018, before whatever the hell is going on with Liam Neeson hit the news. Thank you.)

BMFcast454 – Baby Needs a New Pair of Shoes – Nineteen Fifty Sex
Baby Needs a New Pair of Shoes (1974) aka Jive Turkey is about the “numbers game” somewhere in the midwest circa 1956. One group runs it, another wants to take it over, mild chaos ensues. The slice of life scenes work best, but overall is it worth a watch?
The second half is all comics related stuff this week, as we have some thoughts about Once Upon a Deadpool, Watchmen, Batman: Gotham Knight and 1978’s Superman. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 106 – The Christmas Chronicles
The Christmas Chronicles (2018) is what you get when you take Santa Claus: The Movie, add Kurt Russell, then divide by Minions and multiply by Gremlins? Trust us, that’s kinda right, and this movie is kinda good. Happy Holidays!

BMFcast453 – Black Eye – Creature From the Black Legume
Black Eye (1974) is the first entry in our 8th Annual Blaxploitation History Month! It’s a meandering detective story saved by Fred Williamson’s natural charisma and some really bizarre 70s-ness.
In the second half we’ve got thoughts on Polar, John Wick Chapters 1 and 2, Superman Doomsday and Justice League: New Frontier. Enjoy!
