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!

BMFcast367 – Ricochet – Clown Life
Ricochet (1991) welcomes Denzel Washington to the show! He’s a cop/D.A. who is pursued by a pathologically obsessed John Lithgow in an utterly baffling ’90s thriller. Ice-T is a gang leader who might help Denzel and Jesse Ventura appears to make this a March To Wrestlemania tie-in, of course.
In the second half Harlo & Maki discuss Get Out (2017) and Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) while BJ gives his thoughts on I Don’t Feel At Home In This World Anymore (2017). Enjoy!

BMFcast354 – Johnny Mnemonic – Dolph’n Friends
Johnny Mnemonic (1995) marks Keanu Reeves’ official first-half debut, and he’s joined by a bevy of BMFcast alums including Ice-T, Udo Kier, Henry Rollins, and Dolph Lundgren. Keanu is a future courier, trading corporate secrets in his brain. Every one wants what he’s got, or wants him dead. If’s a wonderland of mid-’90s cyber-whatever. This is a fun one.
After the break, we discuss HBO’s Westworld (2016) and get into spoiler speculation in weekly reviews before Maki gets all indie in his year-end catch-up, talking about The Fits, Green Room and The Witch (or The VVitch, if you are so inclined.) Enjoy!
