BMFcast Extra 183 – The New Barbarians

The New Barbarians (1983) aka Warriors of the Wasteland is a perfect example of why our podcast exists. It’s terrible yet glorious, and aside for one minute of the oddest keyword warning scene we’ve witnessed in a movie in quite some time, is a blast to watch with your friends. Enjoy this fun episode.

BMFcast511 – The Golden Child – Pig Klingon

The Golden Child (1986) was a bump in the road for Eddie Murphy’s early career. It’s an awkward mix of fantasy/action film and Eddie Murphy comedy that audiences liked but did not love. Has time been kind to it? Does it deserve its reputation? We answer all your burning questions.

BMFcast510 – Hero and the Terror – Suck Norris

Hero and the Terror (1988) features Chuck Norris and STEVE JAMES battling an unstoppable serial killer. Well, that’s what it’s supposed to be about anyway. It’s actually about Chuck Norris who has knocked up his therapist and has to deal with her anxieties and concerns while preparing for the arrival of their child. Cannon!

BMFcast Extra 181 – Critters 2 The Main Course

Critters 2 The Main Course (1988) picks up two years after the first film ends, with Bradley coming back to town to visit his grandmother. Meanwhile, the eggs from the end of the previous installment have been discovered, and since it’s Easter, well you can guess what happens from there. How did we feel about this goofy sequel? Tune in!

BMFcast505 – Killer Crocodile – Straight Up Jungle Snack

Killer Crocodile (1989) is the first of two mutant croc movies where Italians pretend to be Americans and search for pollution in the Dominican Republic. Here they encounter a killer crocodile and have to kill it, but only after most of their friends get chomped. Features the worst rescue scene you’ll ever see, hands down.

BMFcast504 – Yes, Madam! – Yeoh-tfits

Yes, Madam! (1985) is Cynthia Rothrock’s cinematic debut and damn if she isn’t a powerhouse right out of the gate. Here she teams with Michelle Yeoh, who is no slouch either when it comes to wrecking dudes. After the movie discussion we listen to your voicemails and are totally kind in response.

BMFcast503 – Action USA – Diamonds

Action U.S.A. (1989) is a movie we covered way back in 2010, but as we return to the studio for the first time in over a year and seeing as the film has recently been upgraded to Blu-ray, it seemed like the right time to revisit it. Diamonds have been stolen, they’re somewhere in Texas and everyone will engage in STUNTS! to acquire them. Afterwards, we engage with your emails and voicemails. THE BMFCAST IS BACK!

BMFcast Extra 177 – Critters

Critters (1986) is one of the movies that HBO Max was touting heavily on launch day, so here we are. It’s a first time watch for Harlo but Chuck has seen it dozens of times. Where will our two hosts land on this cult horror classic?

The BMFcast Variety Hour 027 – Tote Bags

“It’s the 80s. Do a lot of coke and vote for Ronald Reagan…”

We accidentally went Back to the 80s in this week’s episode as curiosity, circumstance and Black Friday deals have us checking out the Back to the Future trilogy, Gremlins and The Last Starfighter. Later we discuss Jonathan Scott’s Power Trip, The Undoing, Fargo Season 4 and Archer. Then we discuss how viewers continually get things wrong with big event shows like Lost, Game of Thrones, True Detective and others.

BMFcast Extra 162 – Blue Thunder

Blue Thunder (1983) stars Roy Scheider as a helicopter pilot and Malcolm McDowell as a helicopter pilot. They are at odds for past and present reasons, and there’s also a hot new helicopter called the Blue Thunder, which is part of Project THOR. Things are not what they seem and… well whatever there’s a helicopter chase through the LA River and then downtown LA. It’s rad.
