The BMFcast Variety Hour 010 – President Garfield
In Search of the Last Action Heroes (2019) was our community movie for the week. It’s a decent documentary about the kinds of movies we like to watch here, and you too can watch it on Amazon Prime.
After that, Maki has some harsh words for Artemis Fowl (2020) and some kinder words for Adam Sandler’s The Week Of. Harlo plows through more Jackie Chan movies as well as the new run of Looney Tunes episodes on HBO Max and Sandler’s Uncut Gems on Netflix. Harlo and Chuck both have thoughts on the first season of Netflix’s Space Force. Finally, Chuck has some quick things to say about The Hollow Point (2016) and Dreamworks’ Turbo. Then we wrap it all up with your emails. Enjoy!

Spenser Confidential (2020) is our latest “We all have Netflix so let’s watch this for the podcast” movie. Forget everything you know about Spenser For Hire because this isn’t that. But it is pretty good! Skip to 27 minutes in if you don’t want to hear any spoilers about this recent release.
Once that’s done we’ve got some things to say about other things. Things like BJ’s take on Extraction since he was absent last week. Also, Chuck gives a shout out to the 2009 indie horror film Hunger (available on Amazon Prime). Then we talk about woes searching for things on IMDb, the kindness of Mexicans, David Tennant’s Fright Night, and of course more recaps of The Last Dance. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 145 – Dolemite is My Name
Dolemite is My Name (2019) is a lot of things. It’s a somewhat loving tribute to Rudy Ray Moore, who as you might know we’ve found to be varying levels of entertaining here on the BMFcast. More importantly though it’s a return to form for Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes, who are just terrific here.
