BMFcast Extra 106 – The Christmas Chronicles
The Christmas Chronicles (2018) is what you get when you take Santa Claus: The Movie, add Kurt Russell, then divide by Minions and multiply by Gremlins? Trust us, that’s kinda right, and this movie is kinda good. Happy Holidays!

BMFcast453 – Black Eye – Creature From the Black Legume
Black Eye (1974) is the first entry in our 8th Annual Blaxploitation History Month! It’s a meandering detective story saved by Fred Williamson’s natural charisma and some really bizarre 70s-ness.
In the second half we’ve got thoughts on Polar, John Wick Chapters 1 and 2, Superman Doomsday and Justice League: New Frontier. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 105 – Death Wish (2018)
Death Wish (2018) is Eli Roth’s remake of the “classic” Charles Bronson vigilante movie. Hey, remember vigilante movies? It’s a dead genre that seems super out of place in the 21st century, but there might be something to this one? Tune in for the debate.

BMFcast452 – Nowhere to Run – Top Heavy
Nowhere to Run (1993) is a lesser entry in Jean Claude Van Damme’s wildly inconsistent 90s filmography but there’s still fun to be had in this Shane-esque tale of a mystery man who saves a family from evil land developers, led by Joss Ackland and Ted Levine.
In the second half we’ve got Ant-Man and the Wasp, Bohemian Rhapsody and IO talk, plus your emails and voicemails. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 103 – The Meg
The Meg (2018) is the first major studio megalodon movie after a flood of low budget ones, and that’s not usually how it works. This one has Jason Statham literally fighting the giant shark, and it’s great! Don’t sleep on this one.

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!

BMFcast Extra 102 – Bad Boys 2
Bad Boys II (2003) is our last Michael Bay movie. It is also the best Michael Bay movie. Yep, he peaked in 2003. Still, what a ride.

Bumblebee (2018) is a good movie. No, we haven’t changed what we do or sold out or anything like that. This is just how things worked out at the end of the year to get you some content. But yes, Bumblebee is a good movie, it’s the Transformers movie you want, and you should definitely check it out.

BMFcast449 – Judgment Night – Boxing Day
Judgment Night (1993) was one we’ve had on the potential list for a long time, and it’s possible we waiting just a bit too long. It’s a VERY 1990S thriller that runs a bit too long and never really goes for it, except for the performances of Jeremy Piven and Cuba Gooding Jr.
In the second half we continue to crush some 2018 movies for Golden Jox considerations, including Aquaman, The Predator, The Christmas Chronicles, Bird Box, Kin, The House with a Clock in its Walls, Skyscraper, First Man and The Ant-Man and the Wasp. Enjoy! See you in 2019!
