BMFcast505 – Killer Crocodile – Straight Up Jungle Snack
Killer Crocodile (1989) is the first of two mutant croc movies where Italians pretend to be Americans and search for pollution in the Dominican Republic. Here they encounter a killer crocodile and have to kill it, but only after most of their friends get chomped. Features the worst rescue scene you’ll ever see, hands down.

BMFcast Extra 156 – Octopus
Octopus (2000) is about 12 movies all wrapped into one, and only a small portion of it involves an octopus. You mainly get that at the end. Before that it’s a Hunt for Red October / Speed 2 / Down Periscope mishmash that… well, look it’s on Amazon Prime so go watch it and then come back here for our bemused takes.

BMFcast Extra 138 – The Amityville Murders
The Amityville Murders (2018) is an attempt to tell the original story of the DeFeo murders, the incident which occurred before the Lutz family moves into the house in the original Amityville Horror. In some ways it works, and in many others it doesn’t. But it has weird Amityville II: The Possession nostalgia and insane Long Island accents, so enjoy!

BMFcast492 – Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2 – Naughty This
Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2 (1987) starts with 45 MINUTES OF FLASHBACKS to the first film. That’s not a joke. Then the short film sequel begins as the killer’s brother is now the killer and also a horrible actor. Drink every time he wiggles his eyebrows and chug every time he says “Naughty!”.

So join us for our thoughts on the following: Knives Out, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (contains mild spoilers), Ad Astra, X-Men Dark Phoenix, Hobbs & Shaw, Angel Has Fallen, Detective Pikachu, The Kid Who Would Be King, Dumbo, Long Shot, The Irishman, Anna and the Apocalypse, Replicas and finally a surprise film you’ll all want to know about.

BMFcast473 – Uncle Sam – Chekhov’s Balls
Uncle Sam (1996) was once America’s gift to us, and now we give it back. Sam is a terrible person and a dead The Troop™ who rises from the dead to murder basically anyone. Flag burners, dope smokers, BBQ teens… no one is safe.
In the second half we’ve got an eclectic batch of opinions on A Star is Born, Hidden Figures, Historical Roasts, 2001 A Space Odyssey, and The Iron Giant. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 111 – Piranha II The Spawning
Piranha II: The Spawning (1981) is technically the directorial debut of James Cameron, but he doesn’t talk about it much and neither does anyone else involved in the production. The film does feature flying piranha though. That’s cool, right? Too bad the movie doesn’t bother to think it’s cool.

BMFcast448 – Silent Night, Deadly Night – Quigley’s Down Under
Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) is the notorious Santa Claus slasher that’s laughable in today’s climate because SO MUCH has happened to us since 1984. Anyway, there’s some fun to be had here, especially if you like an entire second act where you can just identify 80s toys in the background.
In the second half we’ve got a slew of new releases to talk about. Chuck and BJ have praise for the technical aspects of Game Night, Harlo viewed Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Peppermint, and Bad Times at the El Royale, and Chuck rapid fires through Tag, Mission Impossible Fallout, Deadpool 2 and Venom. Enjoy, and happy holidays!
