BMFcast301 – Landau Bullet
Real Bullets (1990) begins Season 2 of the BMFcast by combining two of our favorite things: stunts and stuntmen! A team of stunt students accidentally stumbles into a ring of drug smugglers led by Martin Landau. Gunshots, dynamite, arrows to the gut, old prospectors, and of course, stunts, ensue.
After the break Maki ends his painful journey with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, Harlo wonders why Fant4stic exists, and Chuck has a great time with San Andreas! We also take some listener correspondence and announce a brand new contest. It’s action packed, so enjoy!

BMFcast300 – Whizz Ca-liffa
Tremors (1990) felt like a well-known enough movie to help us celebrate 300 episodes of podcasting! Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward and Michael Gross star in this homage to ’50s monster b-movies. Everyone on earth rented it at some point in their lives, so how well does it hold up?
After the break we discuss The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Terminator Genisys and Tusk before taking a few e-mails discussing us reaching 300 episodes and far, far too many hours of podcasts. Enjoy!

BMFcast299 – Sparkling Waterboarding
The Rift (1990) AKA Endless Descent, features an underwater expedition that may involve monsters attacking a sub. It’s a low-budget Leviathan, which was a low-budget The Abyss, so you can figure out what you’re getting. It has R Lee Ermey, though!
After the break we get back in the Bond mood with a whole bunch of talk about Spectre, the latest Daniel Craig adventure, then take some listener correspondence. Enjoy!

BMFcast295 – Slow Motion Commotion
Vampire Cop (1990) continues our Coptober 1990 celebration. It’s a shot-on-video “horror action” movie that has a bit too much faked slow motion and not enough coherent storytelling. It does have copious amounts of nudity and unintentional comedy, though.
After the break Harlo talks Dope, Chuck wonders why Poltergeist (2015) exists and we take some listener e-mails. Enjoy!
