BMFcast291 – Trinitrotoluene Award
Spaced Invaders (1990) found its way onto Bluray this week so we decided we should check it out. It’s full of watermelon aliens and wacky townsfolk but a surprising amount of jokes actually work.
Second half we talk about The Duff, Dumb and Dumber To, The Lego Movie and more including a lengthy discussion of the career of M. Night Shyamalan without having actually seen The Visit. Enjoy!

BMFcast290 – Average Spectral Boning
Prom Night III: The Last Kiss (1990) is a hard movie to categorize. It’s supposed to be a horror sequel to a prior BMFcast reviewed movie but ends up being much more of a comedy spoof. This probably wasn’t helped by the fact we watched the US DVD cut which is edited down to near TV movie level of sanitized. But somehow we all still enjoy it pretty well.
Second half we discuss Flash Gordon, The Legend of the Drunken Master and Hercules. Plus more including listener correspondence. Enjoy!

BMFcast288 – Disposable Muse
Graffiti Bridge (1990) is the somewhat sequel to Purple Rain and we talk about both. Mostly because we don’t know how to talk coherently about Graffiti Bridge.
Second half we discuss Unfriended, It Follows, Up in the Air and Chuck continues his increasingly unexpected and ill-advised journey through the Hobbit trilogy. Plus a lot of listener correspondence and more. Enjoy!

BMFcast286 – Eric Roberts in Peril
The Ambulance (1990) is the movie that finally reveals our dark secret of 2015 by way of Eric Roberts revealing a dark plot to kidnap diabetic victims in New York City. James Earl Jones chews gum and scenery. Many a stuntman is put in harm’s way as well.
Second half we discuss Trainwreck, The Death of Superman Lives: What Happened? and more. Enjoy!

Peacemaker (1990) is our latest discovery. It features both Robert Forster and Robert Davi in a tale of dueling space aliens, killer car chases and huge explosions. Who’s good? Who’s bad? Hit play and find out.

Side Out (1990) shows us what happens when you stretch the Top Gun volleyball scene out to a full-length movie with C. Thomas Howell, Peter Horton and Courtney Thorne Smith. And it’s glorious.
