BMFcast408 – Supervan – Portvanteau
Supervan (1977) continues #Vanuary. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a goofy-looking solar-powered van and a lot of van footage from the Biannual Bicentennial Freakout ’76 Festival. Can whipped cream, lasers, and a whole lot of vannin’ earn it Jox?
After the break Maki hits the theater for The Shape of Water (2017) which leads to some general chat about the films of Guillermo del Toro. Harlo catches us up on his Golden Jox catch-up movies with XXX: The Return of Xander Cage (2017), Shyamalan’s Split (2017), Sophia Coppola’s The Beguiled (2017), The Great Wall (2017), which we discover was directed by the man who made the awesome House of Flying Daggers (2004), and lastly Chuck and Harlo discuss the disappointing Geostorm (2017).

BMFcast Extra 056 – Fuzz
Fuzz (1972) is a hard one to talk about, so we go off on tangents like “Why is Burt Reynolds famous?” and “Yul Brynner’s voice: What’s up with that?”
