BMFcast Extra 114 – Krull
Krull (1983) is another example from our ongoing series entitled “Don’t revisit movies you think you liked from your childhood”. What’s most frustrating is that all the pieces are in place for this to be great, and yet, it isn’t. Anyway, come listen to us explain why.

BMFcast467 – A Force Of One – Karateman
A Force of One (1979) brings us our earliest Chuck Norris film to date, and one where he’s merely a co-star at that. A ninja is killing cops and so the cops decide that in order to fight karate, you must become karate or something. Norris kicks dudes.
In the second half there is no second half. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 113 – The Park is Mine
The Park is Mine (1985) tells the story of a Vietnam vet (Tommy Lee Jones) who somewhat randomly is coerced into taking control of Central Park in New York City for 72 hours. Yaphet Kotto is one of the men in charge trying to get him out. This first movie made for HBO has some interesting ideas, and so do we. Come listen to them!

BMFcast466 – Deadly Force – Wings Plows-her
Deadly Force (1983) promises a crazy thrill-ride about a loose cannon cop on special assignment in Los Angeles to catch a serial killer. That kinda happens in the background. The music tries hard to make it all exciting, but it’s not.
In the second half we’ve got more thoughts about the concepts of spoilers (without any current ones, promise!). Also, some random Parks and Recreation musings. Enjoy!

BMFcast465 – Raw Force – Cocaine Art Garfunkel
Raw Force (1982) is the beginning of Force May-jeure and what an insane thing this movie is. The Burbank Karate Club travels to Warriors Island via The Worst Cruise Line in the World™ and ends up battling sadistic monks and zombie kung fu killers. It’s nuts!
The second half is ENTIRELY Avengers: Endgame talk with 100% spoilers at all times. You’ve been warned.
