BMFcast 589 – Evolver – Chekov’s Kaleidoscope
Evolver (1995) is a classic tale of boy plays VR game, boy meets girl who hates him, boy cheats to win VR tournament, boy wins robot, robot tries to kill boy, his mom, his kid sister, and the girl. It’s fun for the whole family, but is it Jox for the whole family?

BMFcast 588 – Deadly Friend – Cadavernapping
Deadly Friend (1986) is the story of a Doogie-Howser-esque robotics and AI genius who through a series of wildly inadvisable blunders sets a murderous-robot-brain-powered undead Kristy Swanson loose on an unsuspecting series of neighborhood jerks. All in the name of love, we think. We know Wes Craven can deliver on horror, but can he deliver on Jox?

BMFcast 583 – Spiders – Gen-X-Files
Spiders (2000) has Lana Parrilla as a conspiracy theory obsessed reporter who investigates a space shuttle crash that may contain government-mutated spiders. Spoiler: it does! Of course, low-budget hijinks ensue. Sure, it feels like a Sci Fi Channel X-Files knockoff, but can a third act that goes PLACES push this into the upper tier of Jox-worthy movies?

Alligator (1980) is the tale of a baby gator flushed down the toilet who grows up eating genetically modified dogs from a nearby evil lab.

But will it deliver the Jox?

BMFcast Extra 209 – Underwater
Underwater (2020) is a deep sea monster movie that, while sometimes silly, mostly does everything right. It’s like Leviathan if Leviathan was good!

BMFcast Extra 208 – Bats
Bats (1999) is one of the last “nature run amok” movies released to theaters before that genre became entirely relegated to the Syfy Channel. Bats makes the case that maybe that’s where they deserved to go.

BMFcast563 – The Brain – Typical Canadian Christmas
The Brain (1988) is our second film from director Ed Hunt (Alien Warrior). While not nearly as insane as that film, it does have its own “Uhhh, what the heck is this?” thing going on. Canadian teens are menaced by a giant brain that eats people and wants a popular TV show. And it’s a Christmas movie.

BMFcast Extra 206 – Species II
Species II (1998) is the unnecessary sequel to the 1995 surprise hit, and it doesn’t even bother with that film’s sequel hook. This one has THREE sequel hooks in the end, and we’d wager that Species III doesn’t use any of them either.

BMFcast557 – Zombie High – Get Busy Child
Zombie High (1987) is neither about zombies nor high school. Adult children at a private academy get turned into 80s yuppies so that the staff can drink their sweet, sweet goo and live forever. There’s not a lot to discuss which is why the conversation devolves into nothing but Blacula and Supernatural talk. Enjoy!
