BMFcast554 – The Cannonball Run – Cannonball Your Brains Out
The Cannonball Run (1981) is a collection of gags performed by an all-star cast in a movie that’s ostensibly about a car race but it actually just a collection of gags performed by an all-star cast. But, I mean, if you see that there’s a movie starring Burt Reynolds, Roger Moore and Jackie Chan you’re going to watch it no matter what. We did.

BMFcast481 – Wheels of Fire – Scheduled Pipe Fights
Wheels of Fire (1985) is a post-apocalyptic Mad Max “tribute” starring no one. It’s 80 minutes of car chases, stunts, flame throwers, sex in the heavens, and occasional dune buggies.
In the second half we’ve got more thoughts on Rocketman, the How To Train Your Dragon franchise, Aquaman, Cobra Kai Season Two, and Breaking Bad. Enjoy!

BMFcast417 – BMX Bandits – Stunt Roll
BMX Bandits (1983) brings Nicole Kidman her BMFcast debut and returns one of our favorite directors, Brian Trenchard-Smith. Three teens who love BMX’ing get caught up in shenanigans when they steal some police radios intended to be used in a bank heist. Chase scenes ensue. A lot of extended chase scenes.
After the break Harlo and Chuck return from the theater to discuss Pacific Rim Uprising (2018) and, of course, Pacific Rim (2013). Harlo enjoys The Greatest Showman (2017) and Game Over, Man (2018) before Chuck gets into some TV with Netflix’s Jessica Jones Season 2 and The Toys That Made Us. As if that wasn’t enough, we catch up on listener correspondence and are even presented with a movie mystery to solve!

BMFcast403 – Chrome Soldiers – Iraq Defeats Truman
Chrome Soldiers (1992) is a TV movie reuniting two of our favorites: Gary Busey and Yaphet Kotto! However, neither really gets used the way we’d like in this tale of Vietnam Vet bikers taking on corrupt cops and a drug ring in Oregon.

BMFcast378 – Streets of Fire – The Whoopi Rotation
Streets of Fire (1984) welcomes director Walter Hill to the hall of BMFcast alums. Michael Paré is a mercenary hired by Rick Moranis to track down his rock singer girlfriend, Diane Lane, who’s been kidnapped by Willem Dafoe. This “Rock & Roll Fable” has style for days, but is the substance enough to push it into Jox territory?
After the break we talk about The Lego Batman Movie (2017) before discussing Fist Fight (2017) and its similarities to Three O’Clock High (1987). We take some voicemails, e-mails and even an MP3-mail, too! Enjoy!
