BMFcast Extra 155 – Ablaze
Ablaze (2001) is what you get when director Jim Wynorski acquires all the action footage from last week’s movie City on Fire (along with a bit from Striking Distance) and then remakes City on Fire. The cast is silly, the new “story” is really silly, and it’s… better than the source material?

BMFcast Extra 154 – City on Fire
City on Fire (1979) comes at the tail end of the 70’s disaster craze and it shows. Despite a couple of minutes total of “Grant Page Presents stunt spectacular”, this is a pretty dull tale of an entire city being on fire. How can that possibly be so dull? Tune in.

The BMFcast Variety Hour 013 – Time Loops
Palm Springs (2020) ended up being the movie watched the most in the last week, especially in Maki’s case. He seems to like it, and it also inspired him to watch Groundhog Day for the very first time. Congrats!
Other entertainment of interest this week includes thoughts on the new Peacock streaming app, Back in Time (2015), Netflix’s Floor is Lava, Cop Land (1997), Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017), Pretty in Pink (1986) and also an appearance from the Hamilton Defense Force. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 153 – Men in Black International
Men in Black: International (2019) was 2019’s “How DARE you, Hollywood?!” critical dog pile where everyone tried to outdo each other to come up with a way to explain how offensive this film was to humanity and that nothing worse has ever been produced. As per usual, that’s all nonsense. This movie is totally fine.

The BMFcast Variety Hour 011 – The Tony Danza of Actors
Eurovision Song Contest (2020) is the movie some of us watched for homework this week. Is the latest Will Ferrell manchild movie any good? From there Chuck has some thoughts about a previous Ferrell film Semi-Pro, BJ checks in with his homework from a couple weeks ago and talks In Search of the Last Action Heroes and The Bourne Identity, Maki has words for Uncut Gems, and then Harlo’s discussion of Community brings up the latest trend of streaming services jumping the gun and pulling movies and TV shows for “controversial content”. We have thoughts. Marmaduke!
