BMFcast322 – Trigger Warning
Dangerous Men (2005) is our movie for this week, and the episode title is not a joke. (If you’re sensitive about violence towards women, this might be the week to skip. Seriously.) Dangerous Men is the story of a woman wronged who is out for revenge… Sort of. It’s also the story of a cop tracking down a biker named Black Pepper… Sort of. Pieced together over 20+ years of footage and recently re-released by Drafthouse Films, was this “WTF is happening” movie worth the effort?
Second half we briefly talk Deadpool before taking listener correspondence about All The President’s Men that devolves into us discussing how much we are old men. Enjoy!

BMFcast321 – Ninjango
Enter The Ninja (1981) is a Cannon classic from the inimitable Menahem Golan. Franco Nero plays the whitest ninja while Sho Kosugi plays the most kill-happy. We also get a healthy dose of crazy bosses and fun henchmen.

BMFcast318 – Sit, Stay, Heel Turn
Russell Madness (2015) is, predictably, the conclusion to the March To Russell Madness! Robert Vince returns to direct another tale of talking dogs and monkeys doing things they shouldn’t be doing. Like joining pro wrestling federations. Will we become Russell Maniacs by the time it’s all over?

BMFcast316 – Deus Ex Packina
Hunt To Kill (2010) is how we celebrate episode 316 and the March to Russell Madness. It stars Stone Cold Steve Austin (get it!? 3:16!?) as a border patrol agent who loses his partner and has a daughter who gets kidnapped by Gil Bellows and his crew and… Blah blah blah, just get to killing dudes, Steve. Thankfully, in the third act, he does.
After the break Harlo and Chuck discuss 10 Cloverfield Lane as non-spoilery as possible and we catch up on a batch of listener correspondence, including a bunch of brand new voicemails. Enjoy!

BMFcast314 – Stifler Sliders
American Pie Presents Band Camp (2005) seemed like the proper way to “celebrate” episode 3.14. (Get it!?) Or something. Turns out that was a bad idea, as Stifler’s younger brother is an even worse character than the original guy. And he’s the main character. Uh oh.
After the break Harlo discusses What We Do In The Shadows and Smokin’ Aces while the rest of us didn’t watch anything so we respond to listener e-mails and voicemails instead. Enjoy!

BMFcast313 – State Senator Stephen Stills
Sweet Jesus, Preacherman (1973) wraps up this year’s Blaxploitation History Month. Can TC from Magnum PI convince us he’s a hitman convincing churchgoers he’s their new preacher? Will he clean up the streets or end as shady as William Smith (yes, him, again), who hired him? Also, can the movie possibly live up to its awesome poster?
The second half is turned over to you, the listeners as we take a boatload of e-mails and voicemails discussing movies that misunderstand technology, Lucha Underground, blaxploitation’s role in modern entertainment, and even the very essence of Chuck Fine™. Enjoy!
