Spenser Confidential (2020) is our latest “We all have Netflix so let’s watch this for the podcast” movie. Forget everything you know about Spenser For Hire because this isn’t that. But it is pretty good! Skip to 27 minutes in if you don’t want to hear any spoilers about this recent release.
Once that’s done we’ve got some things to say about other things. Things like BJ’s take on Extraction since he was absent last week. Also, Chuck gives a shout out to the 2009 indie horror film Hunger (available on Amazon Prime). Then we talk about woes searching for things on IMDb, the kindness of Mexicans, David Tennant’s Fright Night, and of course more recaps of The Last Dance. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 146 – Replicant
Replicant (2001) is a late stage Jean-Claude Van Damme movie that deserves your time. He plays both a serial killer and his genetic duplicate, the latter of which has been paired up with grumpy detective Michael Rooker to help catch the former. Van Damme fights himself several times, and those aren’t even the craziest scenes in this bonkers actioner directed by Ringo Lam.

BMFcast Extra 145 – Dolemite is My Name
Dolemite is My Name (2019) is a lot of things. It’s a somewhat loving tribute to Rudy Ray Moore, who as you might know we’ve found to be varying levels of entertaining here on the BMFcast. More importantly though it’s a return to form for Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes, who are just terrific here.

Raw Deal (1986) is the movie we all watched this week as we ease back into our old format a bit (while still working remotely). It’s the forgotten Arnold Schwarzenegger movie that lies in the hidden valley between Commando and Predator. You should see it! It’s on Amazon Prime, check it out.
Other topics this variety hour include why you don’t keep your social security card in your wallet, The Gentlemen, King Arthur copyrights, Beastie Boys Story, The Last Dance, What We Do in the Shadows, Middleditch and Schwartz, shirtless Netflix comedians and Amazon’s broken-ass app.
