BMFcast393 – Dollman vs Demonic Toys – Poopsie-Daisy
Dollman vs Demonic Toys (1993) is the culmination(?) of Charles Band’s shared universe in a semi-sequel to Dollman, Bad Channels, and Demonic Toys. The naughty Toys are back, and Dollman and a recently-retconned Ginger are there to fight them. This is the shortest movie we’ve ever reviewed, but does combining low-budget movie universes redeem it?
After the break, BJ gets sharky with 47 Meters Down (2017) and Deep Blue Sea (1999), Harlo revisits some ’80s classics with The Lost Boys (1987) and The Last Dragon (1985), Chuck checks in on Netflix’s Ozark (2017) and we discuss TV movies after some listener correspondence. Enjoy!

BMFcast392 – Fit To Kill – Lap Water
Fit To Kill (1993) is our long-awaited return to the worlds of Andy Sidaris. Donna, Nicole, Edy, Bruce, Shane and the gang have all returned to do… Something? There’s a priceless diamond, a hot tub, a yacht, remote controlled helicopters, and Julie Strain is there, too! Also, people have lots of sex. A LOT. Does this push it to the top of the Sidaris stack?
In the second half, Harlo uses his brand new Moviepass to see Charlize Theron’s Atomic Blonde (2017) and Luc Besson’s Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) before we take some listener voicemails and e-mails. Enjoy!

BMFcast391 – Maniac Cop 2 – Jason X To Pay Respects
Maniac Cop 2 (1990) is a much-requested movie chock-full of BMFcast alums. With Robert Z’Dar as the titular cop back on the beat, there are plenty of beatdowns, mutilations, incinerations, and (especially) defenestrations. We all know this will get Jox. The question is how many?
After the break we do a lot of recent movie catch-up with Harlo checking out Tom Cruise’s The Mummy (2017) and continuing the Harry Potter journey with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016). Chuck revisits Prometheus (2012) before diving into the icky pool that is Alien Covenant (2017) and Maki gets into the filmmaking of Kong Skull Island (2017). Enjoy!

BMFcast390 – Bad Channels – Cookie Jar
Bad Channels (1992) is a bizarre Charles Band sci-fi spoof in which alien invaders take over an AM radio station and enslave human women with the power of rock. Or something. Can a shock jock DJ save the world while narrating himself doing it?
After the break, Maki’s magical journey through the world of Harry Potter concludes with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011) and as a surprise bonus, Harlo joins him! After that we take a bunch of listener voice- and e-mails. Enjoy!

BMFcast385 – Demonic Toys – Old Charnetski’s Spank Rag
Demonic Toys (1992) comes to us from Charles Band, Peter Manoogian (director of Arena and Eliminators), and David S. Goyer(!) When a demon brings toys to life to wreak havoc in an old warehouse only a pregnant cop, a chicken delivery boy and a runaway girl can stop them.
After the break Harlo checks out CHiPs (2017) and Chuck gets all music documentary-ish with The Defiant Ones (2017) and All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records (2015). This leads to talk of minimum wage jobs and other tomfoolery before we answer a bunch of your e-mails and voicemails. Enjoy!
