BMFcast431 – Capital Punishment – Project KICK
Capital Punishment (1991) had a budget of $12 after paying stars Gary Daniels and David Carradine. Supposedly it’s about a killer drug that gives you super adrenaline and makes your babies born deformed. Gary Daniels is an underground kickboxer who both gets swept up in the investigation and was a part of it all along? It’s weird.
In the second half, Harlo raves about Sorry to Bother You and The Ant-Man and the Wasp, while Chuck references Ready Player One. Then everyone fights about movie musicals. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 082 – The Phantom
The Phantom (1996) is a mistreated superhero movie that is just starting to gain a cult status. It features Billy Zane and Treat Williams hamming it up (as they should) and it’s worth a look. SO GO LOOK.

BMFcast430 – American Cyborg Steel Warrior – Jarsus
American Cyborg Steel Warrior (1993) is a silly title for this very late stage Cannon Films effort that features a lady, a cyborg, the star of Hologram Man and a fetus in a jar. They’re all going from one side of Charleston, SC to the other, for varying reasons. Along the way bullets fly and everyone gets kicked in the face!
In the second half, Maki has thoughts on Solo: A Star Wars Story and Spaceballs. Chuck spends time on Amazon Prime with Electric Dreams and A Very British Scandal. And Harlo enjoys several Coen Brothers movies. You enjoy too!

BMFcast424 – The Double 0 Kid – Reverse Lobot
The Double 0 Kid (1992) is how Mayhaim ends. Whimper, not a bang, all of that. From two of the minds that brought us Never Too Young To Die, this accidental spy adventure has the cast to pull it off but instead feels like a rough draft of a student film.
In the second half things go wildly off the rails in between talk of Deadpool 2, Red Sparrow, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and another viewing of Avengers: Infinity War. How things get to where they end up, we’ll never understand. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 077 – Dick Tracy
Dick Tracy (1990) was that summer’s Batman, except that it left the cultural zeitgeist almost immediately and was never mentioned again. What’s it like to revisit this summer blockbuster with modern sensibilities? Hit play and find out!

BMFcast423 – Demolition University – The Absence of Alan Thicke
Demolition University (1997) is the immediate sequel to Demolition High that never mentions the existence of the first film. This time, Corey Haim is a 30 year old college student who sneaks into a field trip to the local power plant and guess what? Terrorists. Robert Forster and Laraine Newman are along for the ride.
In the second half Chuck goes down a dark Corey hole as he views License to Drive, and Dream a Little Dream 1 & 2 for the very first time. Results are mixed. Harlo checks out Annihilation and Game Night, and then we wrap up with your emails. Enjoy!

BMFcast422 – Fast Getaway – I Love You Honeybunny
Fast Getaway (1991) is a dysfunctional family drama sandwiched between two capable action sequences, seasoned with entirely too much Corey Haim energy and the kitchen forgot the side of Cynthia Rothrock that you ordered.
In the second half, BJ talks about the new Netflix anime Aggretsuko, Maki’s back for the new season of Archer, and then we get caught up on some correspondence. Enjoy!

BMFcast421 – Demolition High – The Power of Alan Thicke
Demolition High (1996) kicks off May-Haim, which is our unfortunate theme month celebrating the action career of former teen heartthrob Corey Haim. In this Jim Wynorski joint he’s a high school student (uh huh) who battles terrorists who’ve taken his classmates hostage. His Dad Alan Thicke is the local police chief who is more interested in making dry comments than saving his son’s life. It’s kinda fun, and is currently on Amazon Prime as of this posting.
In the second half, Harlo briefly talks through the finale of The Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018) before we dive into Avengers: Infinity War (2018) with both non spoilery talk at first and then full on plot detail discussion. Enjoy!

BMFcast419 – Primal Force – Flowers For Shakmanon
Primal Force (1999) is our latest monkey movie. Basically, Ron Perlman heads to Shakma Island to battle mutant baboons for reasons. He also doesn’t tell anyone about the mutant baboons for the first third of the movie, also for reasons. Wait until you hear the reason as to why there are mutant baboons on the island!
In the second half it’s new movie chat as Maki talks Isle of Dogs (2018) and Moonlight (2016) and Harlo gets Ready Player One (2018). Then the show ends. Enjoy!
