BMFcast Extra 141 – Hercules

Hercules (2014) is The Rock’s version of Hercules and he’s a great Hercules. Problem is that the movie doesn’t want him to be Hercules. It wants to tell the story of a man who is being hyped up as being the son of Zeus but is actually just a dude. But he is the son of Zeus. It’s so strange. However, The Rock kicks all kinds of candy asses in this, and the action scenes are a blast.

BMFcast500 – Tammy and the T-Rex – Everybody Walker the Dinosaur

Tammy and the T-Rex (1994) has been re-released in an unrated edition that very much changes the overall quality of this goofy movie we reviewed over eight years ago. Worth revisiting, but will our ratings improve?

Then in the second half it’s all about us as we play your voicemails and read your emails celebrating our 500th episode. 500 episodes! Enjoy!

BMFcast499 – New Crime City – The Grand Finale

New Crime City (1994) takes place in the year 2020 and that’s why we watched it. It’s an Escape from New York ripoff that sees Rick Rossovich (Top Gun) entering Crime City to stop a virus from being released. We’re not entirely sure if he’s successful or not.

In the second half we’ve got quick thoughts on Turbo Kid, The Dead Don’t Die, and Breaking Bad. Enjoy!

BMFcast498 – Force Four – Hi-ya Felicia

Force Four (1975) is a movie in the loosest definition of that word. Four karate friends are hired to recover a stolen artifact and beat up the same 10 people over and over and over in between driving montages. Also, WARHAWK TANZANIA!

In the second half we’ve got thoughts on Parasite, Uncut Gems, the 1997 miniseries version of The Shining, Spring Breakers, Kingsman: The Secret Service, Superman: Red Son, Breaking Bad, and HBO’s McMillions. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 140 – No Escape

No Escape (1994) stars Ray Liotta as a prisoner sent to a desolate island because the warden (Michael Lerner) doesn’t have any oversight, apparently. Once there he faces the choice of either joining the cutthroat Outsiders or the hippie peace commune on the beach. Some dudes get wrecked here and there.

BMFcast497 – Blacula – Sneak Attackula

Blacula (1972) is an earnest effort to make a classic vampire film in the modern era with an African-American cast. William Marshall lends considerable gravitas to the lead character. It’s not just a quick cash grab and we all found it to be rather enjoyable.

In the second half it’s time to talk about movies like Birds of Prey, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Side Effects, The Shining, Doctor Sleep and The Witch. Then it’s time to talk about hit TV shows like Ramy, Mystic Quest, The Good Place, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The New Pope. Enjoy!

BMFcast496 – Mean Johnny Barrows – Destroy Yourself

Mean Johnny Barrows (1975) is Fred Williamson’s directorial debut. It’s the tale of unfortunate soul Johnny Barrows (played by Williamson) and how he’s eventually lured into becoming a mafia hit man. Then things really go wrong for Johnny.

In the second half we’ve got some thoughts on Lucy in the Sky, The Dead Don’t Die, the end of The Good Place, and more on Netflix’s Sabrina show. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 139 – Tuff Turf

Tuff Turf (1985) stars James Spader and Robert Downey Jr. as dueling superheroes who… wait, no that’s not right. Spader is a new kid at school, becomes friends with Robert Downey Jr., sets his sights on Kim Richards, and nearly gets everyone he loves murdered as a result. Also, it might be a musical?

BMFcast495 – The Candy Tangerine Man – Pimpultimate

The Candy Tangerine Man (1975) kicks off our 8th annual Blaxploitation History Month! The Black Baron is both the best and worst pimp in southern California, battling invaders on all fronts while also keeping a family in the suburbs!

In the second half we get caught up on 2019 movies with Jojo Rabbit, Doctor Sleep, Terminator: Dark Fate and The Poison Rose. BJ checks in with The Raid 2 and then we get caught up on TV talk with The Outsider, Watchmen, His Dark Materials, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Little America and The Mandalorian . Also, Chuck wants you to watch 1976’s J.D.’s Revenge. Enjoy!

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!
