BMFcast511 – The Golden Child – Pig Klingon
The Golden Child (1986) was a bump in the road for Eddie Murphy’s early career. It’s an awkward mix of fantasy/action film and Eddie Murphy comedy that audiences liked but did not love. Has time been kind to it? Does it deserve its reputation? We answer all your burning questions.

BMFcast Extra 136 – The Great White Hype
The Great White Hype (1996) doesn’t have a huge cultural footprint, but it deserves some respect now as a 90s comedy that isn’t utterly painful. Samuel L. Jackson plays a Don King-esque boxing promoter who creates a white contender (Peter Berg) to take on the champ (Damon Wayans) in order to increase ticket sales. Hijinks ensue.

BMFcast Extra 088 – Corvette Summer
Corvette Summer (1978) is Mark Hamill’s follow-up to Star Wars, Annie Potts’ first movie, and the film you chose for us to watch in this week’s poll. Hamill and friends build a Corvette, it gets stolen, he tracks it down in Las Vegas and falls in love with a hooker in training (Potts). Good times can be had, if you can get past the WTF WAS HAPPENING IN THE 1970s-ness of it all.

BMFcast406 – Disorderlies – Fat Asstagonists
Disorderlies (1987) is a Three Stooges-esque comedy starring those ’80s icons(?) The Fat Boys. They’re a trio of orderlies hired to do a bad job by a scheming nephew looking to inherit his uncle’s fortune. We’d say wackiness ensues, but it’s already been stated that The Fat Boys can never be wack.
In the second half everyone is catching up on 2017 movies before next week’s Golden Jox awards, so we get quick takes on Colossal, Dunkirk, The Little Hours, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Pottersville, Sandy Wexler, Logan Lucky, Detroit, and Atomic Blonde. Holy cow.

BMFcast398 – Don’t Kill It – Social Justice Dolph
Don’t Kill It (2016) returns Dolph Lundgren to the show, as a demon hunter tracking down a murder demon that hops bodies every time its host is killed. Can a small town sheriff and an FBI agent help him save the day? Or will a gory bloodbath ensue? It might be both in this horror comedy.
After the break Chuck watches HBO’s Spielberg (2017), which leads to discussion of his career, as well as the career of Michael Bay as Bad Boys (1995) is watched and a new BMFcast Extra theme is born. Oh yeah, and the Spider-Man movies get analyzed, as Harlo watched Spider-Man 2 (2004) again.

BMFcast314 – Stifler Sliders
American Pie Presents Band Camp (2005) seemed like the proper way to “celebrate” episode 3.14. (Get it!?) Or something. Turns out that was a bad idea, as Stifler’s younger brother is an even worse character than the original guy. And he’s the main character. Uh oh.
After the break Harlo discusses What We Do In The Shadows and Smokin’ Aces while the rest of us didn’t watch anything so we respond to listener e-mails and voicemails instead. Enjoy!

BMFcast291 – Trinitrotoluene Award
Spaced Invaders (1990) found its way onto Bluray this week so we decided we should check it out. It’s full of watermelon aliens and wacky townsfolk but a surprising amount of jokes actually work.
Second half we talk about The Duff, Dumb and Dumber To, The Lego Movie and more including a lengthy discussion of the career of M. Night Shyamalan without having actually seen The Visit. Enjoy!

BMFcast290 – Average Spectral Boning
Prom Night III: The Last Kiss (1990) is a hard movie to categorize. It’s supposed to be a horror sequel to a prior BMFcast reviewed movie but ends up being much more of a comedy spoof. This probably wasn’t helped by the fact we watched the US DVD cut which is edited down to near TV movie level of sanitized. But somehow we all still enjoy it pretty well.
Second half we discuss Flash Gordon, The Legend of the Drunken Master and Hercules. Plus more including listener correspondence. Enjoy!

BMFcast278 – Huge Blunderbuss
Loose Cannons (1990) is a “comedy” where Gene Hackman, Dan Aykroyd and Dom DeLuise go on the run, attempting to expose a conspiracy around a sex tape of Adolf Hitler. It sounds a lot better than it actually is.
In the second half it’s all Jurassic World, as Harlo skypes in for our roundtable discussion of the biggest movie opening ever. Enjoy!
