BMFcast480 – Enemy Gold – YY Bottom
Enemy Gold (1993) is our latest movie from the Andy Sidaris clan. This time it’s Andy’s son behind the camera, proving he can make a movie that’s not as good as Hard Ticket To Hawaii just as much as his dad can. There’s a drug bust and some Civil War gold and lots of naked hooters.
In the second half we’ve got thoughts on Aladdin (2019) and Disney things in general, Amazon’s The Boys, and The Matrix trilogy. Finally.

BMFcast Extra 121 – The Running Man
The Running Man (1987) is a lesser yet still important entry in Arnold’s early filmography. It takes place in 2019 and features a dystopian society fed by state-run media, and the number one show is a gameshow where convicts get murdered to death. Also, it’s got jokes. Hopefully so do we.

BMFcast478 – The Great Skycopter Rescue – Aerial Strike
The Great Skycopter Rescue (1980) is a little seen, easy going, breezy good time at the drive in. Just 90 minutes of feather-haired fellows flying around in their go-copters. There are bikers being jerks down below, but that doesn’t matter, skycopterin’ for life.
The second half is LOADED with other movie talk, including Fast & Furious Presents Hobbs & Shaw, Detective Pikachu, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Rocketman, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and Life After Flash. Then Maki has a Quentin Tarantino marathon which included Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2, Reservoir Dogs, Inglourious Basterds, and Django Unchained.

BMFcast Extra 120 – Universal Soldier
Universal Soldier (1992) is the first of 97 pairings of Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren. It’s a somewhat underrated action film that somehow has half a dozen sequels. Also, it’s the perfect Easter movie, what with all the resurrections and such.

BMFcast477 – Air Bud – Snack Pack
Air Bud (1997) was what we needed this week. It’s the nice yet slightly horrific tale of an orphaned golden retriever (Buddy) who can also play basketball. So he does. And wins the state championship. There’s also kids and clowns and deserted islands along the way.
In the second half, Harlo starves while enjoying The Hunger Games quadrilogy, then goes back in time to see what all the fuss was about for Lawrence of Arabia. Chuck takes a trip to Atlanta, and then we’ve got a great bunch of emails. Enjoy!

BMFcast476 – Showdown – Un-Tom-Lee Death
Showdown (1993) is what happens when you take The Karate Kid and, well, make it again. Ken just started at Paradise High School but Tom hates it when Ken talks to his girl (Hey Dudes’ Christine Taylor). They fight. Then the school janitor/former Paradise Policeman Billy (Billy Blanks) teaches Ken how to fight. Everything concludes in an underground teenage fight club.
In the second half, BJ and Chuck have varying opinions on Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood (2019), and then the whole gang joins in on the Tarantino talk with specific thoughts on Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) and True Romance (1993). Also, brief opinions on Shazam (2019) and Thunderbirds (2004). Enjoy!
