BMFcast Extra 155 – Ablaze
Ablaze (2001) is what you get when director Jim Wynorski acquires all the action footage from last week’s movie City on Fire (along with a bit from Striking Distance) and then remakes City on Fire. The cast is silly, the new “story” is really silly, and it’s… better than the source material?

BMFcast423 – Demolition University – The Absence of Alan Thicke
Demolition University (1997) is the immediate sequel to Demolition High that never mentions the existence of the first film. This time, Corey Haim is a 30 year old college student who sneaks into a field trip to the local power plant and guess what? Terrorists. Robert Forster and Laraine Newman are along for the ride.
In the second half Chuck goes down a dark Corey hole as he views License to Drive, and Dream a Little Dream 1 & 2 for the very first time. Results are mixed. Harlo checks out Annihilation and Game Night, and then we wrap up with your emails. Enjoy!

BMFcast421 – Demolition High – The Power of Alan Thicke
Demolition High (1996) kicks off May-Haim, which is our unfortunate theme month celebrating the action career of former teen heartthrob Corey Haim. In this Jim Wynorski joint he’s a high school student (uh huh) who battles terrorists who’ve taken his classmates hostage. His Dad Alan Thicke is the local police chief who is more interested in making dry comments than saving his son’s life. It’s kinda fun, and is currently on Amazon Prime as of this posting.
In the second half, Harlo briefly talks through the finale of The Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018) before we dive into Avengers: Infinity War (2018) with both non spoilery talk at first and then full on plot detail discussion. Enjoy!

BMFcast352 – The Lost Empire – Laservoir Tip
The Lost Empire (1985) is the debut movie of Jim Wynorski. A team of martial arts knowin’ women enter an underground tournament on a secret island in order to locate a jewel that will be used to power a doomsday device. Or something? We expected lots of jokes and nudity, which we got. Was it enough?
Second half is a random grab bag of movies with The Accountant (2016), O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994). Harlo also discusses the documentary Lucha Mexico (2016) before we take some listener e-mails. Enjoy!
