BMFcast Extra 127 – Project Shadowchaser II
Project Shadowchaser II (1994) is more of a retelling than a sequel to the first film. Frank Zagarino returns as “Android” without any explanation whatsoever to hijack a nuclear silo. An upper management lady, her son, and a maintenance man / former baseball player / current karate man are trapped inside and must save the day. It’s NUTS, and also a Christmas movie.

BMFcast485 – Karate Rock – Can’t Stop the Rock
Karate Rock (1990) is a movie devoid of, well… everything. There’s not one single thing about this Italian Karate Kid knockoff that anyone could say is “good”. But is it entertaining? Half the usual crew is on hand to answer that burning question.
In the second half Chuck has an exclusive “not on 31 Days of Horror” review for Annabelle Comes Home (2019) while Harlo preps for Joker (2019) by watching The King of Comedy (1983) for the first time. Then some chat about Scorsese’s comments about comic book movies not being “cinema”. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 125 – Universal Soldier II Brothers in Arms
Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms (1998) is a direct to pay cable “sequel” to the 1992 film that pretty much picks up where that film left off featuring none of the original cast members. The latter is not even in the top 10 of this film’s issues. Still, it co-stars Gary Busey and Burt Reynolds, so that’s the draw here.

BMFcast Extra 123 – Project Shadowchaser
Project: Shadowchaser (1992) is sometimes just called Shadowchaser, but either way it features an android named Romulus Shadowchaser (Frank Zagarino) who takes the President’s daughter (Meg Foster) hostage in order to collect 50 million dollars. Ex-football man Martin Kove is the only one who can stop him, that’s to the most convoluted series of events ever.

BMFcast480 – Enemy Gold – YY Bottom
Enemy Gold (1993) is our latest movie from the Andy Sidaris clan. This time it’s Andy’s son behind the camera, proving he can make a movie that’s not as good as Hard Ticket To Hawaii just as much as his dad can. There’s a drug bust and some Civil War gold and lots of naked hooters.
In the second half we’ve got thoughts on Aladdin (2019) and Disney things in general, Amazon’s The Boys, and The Matrix trilogy. Finally.

BMFcast Extra 120 – Universal Soldier
Universal Soldier (1992) is the first of 97 pairings of Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren. It’s a somewhat underrated action film that somehow has half a dozen sequels. Also, it’s the perfect Easter movie, what with all the resurrections and such.

BMFcast477 – Air Bud – Snack Pack
Air Bud (1997) was what we needed this week. It’s the nice yet slightly horrific tale of an orphaned golden retriever (Buddy) who can also play basketball. So he does. And wins the state championship. There’s also kids and clowns and deserted islands along the way.
In the second half, Harlo starves while enjoying The Hunger Games quadrilogy, then goes back in time to see what all the fuss was about for Lawrence of Arabia. Chuck takes a trip to Atlanta, and then we’ve got a great bunch of emails. Enjoy!
