BMFcast Extra 188 – Transylvania 6-5000
Transylvania 6-5000 (1985) is a cult 80s comedy that Harlo and Chuck both watched for the very first time in 2020. The results are not favorable, however we both agree that Geena Davis’ costume is the best thing in the film.

BMFcast528 – The Blob – Art La Flurries
The Blob (1988) is a damn good time at the movies. This remake of the 1950s classic is both faithful and surprising, and features some nifty special effects for the time. And this is how we said farewell to veteran character actor Art LaFleur who passed away this week. Ribbed.

BMFcast515 – Omega Syndrome – Berlin Wahl
Omega Syndrome (1986) has a cool poster but is a lousy movie. Ken Wahl and his Vietnam vet buddy have to rescue Nicole Eggert from Nazis. We could tease you with additional details about it, or you can listen to hear us get duped by phony IMDb trivia about the film and then realize we’ve been duped in real time. That’s fun.

BMFcast Extra 184 – Catch Me If You Can
Catch Me If You Can (1989) is the first from from director Stephen Sommers (The Mummy). It’s a weird high school sock hop version of the 1980s where everyone is kind of generic and the student council president is betting on illegal street races to help raise the funds to save their school from closure. There’s a lot to discuss here.

BMFcast512 – Strike Commando – Americanski
Strike Commando (1986) is why we do this. Terrible movie, absolute trash… and yet it’s the best thing. Reb Brown yells at and then murders everyone in Vietnam. Then later some extra folks in the Philippines. It’s Rambo: First Blood Part II made by space aliens.
