BMFcast532 – Boss – Fred Williamsmith
Boss (1974) stars Fred Williamson and D’Urville Martin as bounty hunters in the old west who become the law in a small town to help facilitate the capture of bad guy William Smith. It’s got a funky soundtrack and lots of quotable dialogue that you can never actually quote, ever. But you should definitely watch it. D’Urville Martin is a treat.
We’re back! Blaxploitation History Month is back! Rejoice!

BMFcast Extra 190 – Two Minute Warning
Two Minute Warning (1976) is a film about a sniper at the Super Bowl and the police efforts to stop him. They fail. An all-star cast and a silly script make this somewhat interesting and fun to talk about.
Bonus talk includes discussion of the TV edit of this film which is a completely different movie. It’s wild.

BMFcast522 – The Bees – 1001 Bee Puns
The Bees (1978) is a bee-tier creature feature that sees John Saxon and John Carradine having to contend with a deadly invasion of killer bees. It’s a strategic invasion, as the bees pick and choose their battles. The film also features at least two US Presidents. It’s a nightmare.

BMFcast Extra 187 – Moonshine County Express
Moonshine Country Express (1977) is how we said farewell to actor John Saxon, someone who appears to be much smarter and way more suave than his character in this allows. It’s a watchable yet highly insignificant film that you can enjoy hearing us discuss.

BMFcast507 – High-Ballin’ – Sad Boys 2
High-Ballin’ (1978) is one of those 1970s drive-in flicks that doesn’t demand your attention which is good because it doesn’t deserve it. Jerry Reed and Peter Fonda get up to truckin’ exploits in Canada. 10-4.

BMFcast Extra 166 – Acapulco Gold
Acapulco Gold (1976) is “the Skateball of drug smuggling movies.” Since none of you will get that I’ll explain further. It’s the most laid back, family friendly movie about heroin smuggling you’ve ever seen from 1976 starring Marjoe Gortner (Starcrash). #420BlazeIt

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.
