BMFcast Extra 110 – The Crow City of Angels
The Crow: City of Angels (1996) is the second attempt at a Crow movie and wow, is it ever bad. Laughably bad. Anger inducing, even. However it does feature an absolutely brilliant bit of physical freaking out from Thomas Jane, so there’s SOMETHING. Also, stay tuned through the end for the debate about whether or not goths actually exist.

BMFcast Extra 109 – Toy Soldiers
Toy Soldiers (1991) is a somewhat lost to time action/thriller featuring a group of prep school kids (including Sean Astin and Wil Wheaton) running reconnaissance missions when their school is taken over by terrorists. Strong behind the scenes pedigrees and decent pacing make this one a forgotten gem.

BMFcast452 – Nowhere to Run – Top Heavy
Nowhere to Run (1993) is a lesser entry in Jean Claude Van Damme’s wildly inconsistent 90s filmography but there’s still fun to be had in this Shane-esque tale of a mystery man who saves a family from evil land developers, led by Joss Ackland and Ted Levine.
In the second half we’ve got Ant-Man and the Wasp, Bohemian Rhapsody and IO talk, plus your emails and voicemails. Enjoy!

BMFcast451 – Judgment Day – Dick Cardigan
Judgment Day (1999) is our latest and there’s much to discuss. No, it’s not a follow up to Judgment Night, but still That’s The Joke™. It’s actually a Deep Impact/Armageddon rip off written by Fred Olen Ray, directed by the guy who played Deathstalker in Deathstalker II, and features a cavalcade of BMFcast alums including Ice-T, Coolio, Zeus from No Holds Barred and Mario Van Peebles. Oh yeah, that means it’s a #Vanuary movie too.
In the second half we run through some movies we watched for Golden Jox consideration that didn’t quite make the final cut, including Mandy, Halloween, Equalizer 2, Hotel Artemis, Bad Times at the El Royale, Kin, Roma and more. Plus, Harlo is in love with Riverdale on the CW. Enjoy!

BMFcast449 – Judgment Night – Boxing Day
Judgment Night (1993) was one we’ve had on the potential list for a long time, and it’s possible we waiting just a bit too long. It’s a VERY 1990S thriller that runs a bit too long and never really goes for it, except for the performances of Jeremy Piven and Cuba Gooding Jr.
In the second half we continue to crush some 2018 movies for Golden Jox considerations, including Aquaman, The Predator, The Christmas Chronicles, Bird Box, Kin, The House with a Clock in its Walls, Skyscraper, First Man and The Ant-Man and the Wasp. Enjoy! See you in 2019!

BMFcast445 – Original Gangstas – Turn Your Head And Coffy
Original Gangstas (1996) is how we’re celebrating Blaxploitation Friday this year! This 20 year old film is a supposedly a celebration of a genre from 20 years earlier but is more in line with the 90s gangs genre instead of the Blaxploitation stuff we know and love. But all your favorites are here (although some only for a scene or two) and there’s something to be said for that.
In the second half, Chuck has a recommendation-palooza and he says you should watch the following 2018 releases: Acts of Violence, Bent, Anon, Skyscraper, The Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Solo: A Star Wars Story. All good! All Chuck approved!
