BMFcast419 – Primal Force – Flowers For Shakmanon
Primal Force (1999) is our latest monkey movie. Basically, Ron Perlman heads to Shakma Island to battle mutant baboons for reasons. He also doesn’t tell anyone about the mutant baboons for the first third of the movie, also for reasons. Wait until you hear the reason as to why there are mutant baboons on the island!
In the second half it’s new movie chat as Maki talks Isle of Dogs (2018) and Moonlight (2016) and Harlo gets Ready Player One (2018). Then the show ends. Enjoy!

BMFcast Spoilcast 008 – Rampage
Rampage (2018) fit right in with our APEril theme month and so we took a field trip to the theater to make that happen! It’s very loosely based on the classic video game and features The Rock battling giant animals in Chicago, thanks to the dumbest evil plot of all time. Go see it and then come enjoy the spoilcast!

BMFcast Extra 072 – Biggles Adventures in Time
Biggles: Adventures in Time (1986) is a movie about a beloved British hero with an American time travel story bolted onto it. At least the aerial sequences are stunning. Also, Hootkins!

BMFcast418 – Monkeybone – Chris Kattan’s Floppy Neck
Monkeybone (2001) is how we’ve chosen to begin Ape-ril ’18! It’s a huge box office failure with a talented cast and crew that somehow screws it all up. And yet, there are still some moments of goodness in there. Sure it’s bad, but will it be a unanimous 5-bagger?
In the abbreviated second half, Harlo returns to FX’s Atlanta before restarting a journey through the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Then things devolve into nothing but terrible Australian accents for the second week in a row. Enjoy!

BMFcast Extra 071 – The Island
The Island (1980) is a Peter Benchley/Michael Caine joint that no one ever talks about. They should talk about it though, because it has the Most Satisfying Ending of All Time™.

BMFcast417 – BMX Bandits – Stunt Roll
BMX Bandits (1983) brings Nicole Kidman her BMFcast debut and returns one of our favorite directors, Brian Trenchard-Smith. Three teens who love BMX’ing get caught up in shenanigans when they steal some police radios intended to be used in a bank heist. Chase scenes ensue. A lot of extended chase scenes.
After the break Harlo and Chuck return from the theater to discuss Pacific Rim Uprising (2018) and, of course, Pacific Rim (2013). Harlo enjoys The Greatest Showman (2017) and Game Over, Man (2018) before Chuck gets into some TV with Netflix’s Jessica Jones Season 2 and The Toys That Made Us. As if that wasn’t enough, we catch up on listener correspondence and are even presented with a movie mystery to solve!

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.

BMFcast415 – Shakedown – Homemade Orange Julius
Shakedown (1988) is a bizarre mashup of courtroom action with late-’80s cop movie action insanity. Peter Weller is a loose-cannon lawyer working with Sam Elliott’s not-so-loose-cannon cop to take down a drug ring of crooked cops. Many a stuntman was likely injured in bringing you this craziness.
In the second half we get Oscar-happy as BJ loves Coco (2017) and Harlo has thoughts on The Shape of Water (2017).
Then it’s not-so-Oscary as we discuss the New Star Trek Trilogy and give a recommendation for listener Jens’ new podcast, The Goldsmith Oddyssey.

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.
