BMFcast425 – The Hurricane Heist – Will and Maggie Grace
The Hurricane Heist (2018) is another crazy weather movie, but this time directed by The Fast and the Furious’ Rob Cohen. It’s Hard Rain meets Twister and is mostly shot in Bulgaria… but there’s some great insanity to be had here. It’s Category Fun!
In the second half we’ve got hot takes on Solo: A Star Wars Story, another take on Deadpool 2, and an old school take on 1999’s Mystery Men. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 078 – The Perils of Gwendoline
The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak (1984) is Tawny Kitaen’s film debut and it’s a baffling motion picture based on a bondage comic strip from an adult magazine of the 40s and 50s. The last 3rd of the film in particular is a WTF-a-palooza. Enjoy!

BMFcast416 – Hologram Man – Glitch Slap
Hologram Man (1995) is the tale of a criminal mastermind who is converted into a hologram, locked up in hologram prison, who then escapes. The only man who can track him down is the man who put him there: a cop named Decoda. This PM Entertainment joint is willing to sacrifice the lives of many a stuntman and decommissioned police car in pursuit of our entertainment. Spoiler: it pays off.
After the break Chuck somehow avoided spoilers and is rewarded with a fresh viewing of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, while Harlo catches up on FX’s Atlanta and we sing the praises of Darius. Darius forever, y’all.

BMFcast414 – The Taking of Beverly Hills – Shuriken Wahl
The Taking of Beverly Hills (1991) has Ken Wahl as a hotshot NFL quarterback who is the only man left to thwart a Robert Davi led scheme to rob the entire city of Beverly Hills under the guise of a chemical spill evacuation. This one is crazy, with SWAT tanks, flamethrowers, car stunts aplenty, ninja stars and, of course, gratuitous explosions. The only question is just how many Jox will this be awarded?
In the second half we go movie-crazy, with talk of Duncan Jones’ new Netflix film Mute (2018), Chuck revisits the Tombstone (1993) vs Wyatt Earp (1994) debate, Harlo is impressed with Moonlight (2016), not so much with Hellraiser (1987), Maki checks out Criterion’s brand-new (gorgeous) Night of the Living Dead (1968) blu-ray, and we wrap up with discussion of The Disaster Artist (2017) and Tommy Wiseauness in general.

BMFcast405 – Christmas Twister – Kristin Chestoweth
Christmas Twister (2012) (aka F6 Twister) helps us celebrate the holiday and returns favorite Casper Van Dien to the show as a disgraced climate researcher hoping to patch things up with his newscaster wife (Victoria Pratt) as a monster tornado interrupts their Christmas season. Not gonna lie, this movie is extra dumb, but we had a lot of fun with it.
After the break we switch things up as we take some listener voice- and e-mails before we get into a giant Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) discussion, both non-spoiler and spoilery as hell. Also, really, really long.

BMFcast397 – Terrorvision – Jagoozi
Terrorvision (1986) is another Charles Band production with malfunctioning technology. This time a family’s satellite dish brings a strange alien creature into their home. What happens next is, well, it’s something.
After the break we go nuts with movies current and older with Baby Driver (2017), The Mummy (2017), Ghostbusters (1984), Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Mulan (1998), Insidious (2010), Steve Zissou in The Life Aquatic (2004) and Cult of Chucky (2017).

BMFcast380 – Cherry 2000 – Butte Nuke
Cherry 2000 (1987) is the tale of a man and his sex robot. When Sam Treadwell’s (David Andrews) robo-wife short-circuits, he starts on a journey into the wastelands to find a new one. Helping him is an unlikely tracker (Melanie Griffith), but they have to avoid the angry Murder Dad cult led by Lester (Tim Thomerson). Yes, this movie is as odd as it sounds.
After the break Harlo gets Linklater’d as he compares Everybody Wants Some!! (2016) and Boyhood (2014), while Maki continues his magical journey with Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002). Enjoy!

BMFcast377 – City Hunter – Defeneskate
City Hunter (1993) concludes AniMAY with Jackie Chan starring in a live-action adaptation of the popular manga. Hunter is tracking down a newspaper magnate’s runaway daughter on a luxury cruise populated by secret agent ladies, card-throwing assassins, and a group of terrorists led by Richard Norton and Gary Daniels. It’s tough to properly describe the zaniness of this movie, but trust us, it’s ZANY.
In the second half, Maki and Harlo watch Alien Covenant (2017) and have lots of thoughts about it. Chuck and Maki also discuss Wolverine’s last hurrah as Logan (2017). Enjoy!

BMFcast364 – Petey Wheatstraw – Alabama Crabs
Petey Wheatstraw (1977) concludes Blaxploitation History Month with the return of Rudy Ray Moore. He’s a man who’s sold his soul to the devil for revenge. Will he end up getting caught as the devil’s son-in-law? More importantly, will RRM make a coherent movie? (Spoiler: NOPE.)
After the break Chuck talks about Arrival (2016) and The Girl on the Train (2016) while Harlo continues the Pinball Project with The Shadow (1994). We also take some listener e-mails. Enjoy!

BMFcast349 – American Rampage – American Sampage
American Rampage (1989) is very American, but doesn’t have quite as much Rampaging as we hoped. A pair of cops are on the trail of drug smugglers or something? But there are plenty of random explosions, character deaths, and random nudity which gets our attention. Is it enough?
In the second half Harlo gives his take on Doctor Strange (2016) and we take on some listener mails and recommendations. Enjoy!
