BMFcast526 – Fortress 2 Re-Entry – Stanley Fortress Twochi
Fortress 2: Re-Entry (2000) is an unnecessary sequel to the rather terrific 1992 film. Not that a sequel is a bad idea or anything, but if you’re not going to go bigger and better then what are you even doing? Anyway, the Men-Tel Corporation (run by Pam Grier) captures Christopher Lambert again and sends him to space jail.

BMFcast Extra 093 – Armageddon
Armageddon (1998) is the film that Michael Bay says is his worst effort. Has he not seen Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? Anyway, Armageddon is great.

BMFcast433 – Mac and Me – Busby Burgerley
Mac and Me (1988) was a film we thought we could ignore. This ET-knockoff and product placement-apalooza had been well covered by plenty of other podcasts over the years. But when the mad geniuses over at Shout Factory decided this needed a Blu-ray release, well… that was our cue.
In the second half we talk about shows where comedians do things and talk to other comedians. Enjoy!

BMFcast388 – Star Crystal – All Out Of Love
Star Crystal (1986) is the tale of a spaceship crew that brings an alien life form on board that begins killing them one by one. Wait, this sounds vaguely familiar. What’s NOT familiar is the bizarre last 10 minutes of this movie. Will an insane swerve yield Jox?
After the break Maki hits the theater for The Dark Tower (2017), Chuck hits the home theater for the recent Kong Skull Island (2017), BJ marathons a little-known HBO show called Game of Thrones, and Harlo sends us out with Netflix’s Wet Hot American Summer: 10 Years Later. Enjoy!

Star Slammer (1986) is an early Fred Olen Ray effort, where a woman is sent to space prison for a crime she didn’t commit. Can she survive life in the space can with fellow inmates space fighting her, a space warden threatening her, and the man who imprisoned her out for space revenge?
After the break we discuss Netflix’s GLOW (2017) a little more before diving into listener correspondence. Enjoy!

BMFcast384 – Spacehunter – The Forbidden Arizone
Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (1983) is a b-movie space adventure staring Peter Strauss, Molly Ringwald, Ernie Hudson and Michael Ironside, but there’s a budget behind it. When Wolff (Strauss) is hired to track down earth women stranded on a distant planet run by Overdog (Ironside), he’ll need the help of Niki (Ringwald) and Washington (Hudson) to get into Overdog’s base and take him down.
After the break Harlo & Chuck superhero it up with Spider Man: Homecoming (2017), Wonder Woman (2017) and Power Rangers (2017), before Maki checks in on his magical journey with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (2009). Finally, BJ wants you to check out Titansgrave on YouTube. Enjoy!

BMFcast359 – Space Buddies – Apawlo 13
Space Buddies (2009) is what we watch when Harlo skips an episode. Our intrepid crew of golden retrievers somehow ends up in space and makes friends with Spudnick, a russian dogsmonaut and Gravity, a ferret who’s an expert in atmospheric re-entry trajectories. Or something.
After the break Maki rewatches John Wick (2014) and we take a metric ton of listener e-mails! Sequels to Titanic (1997) are hatched, Saved! (2004) gets a shout out and plenty more. Enjoy!

BMFcast350 – Ghosts of Mars – Ghosts of Gwars
Ghosts of Mars (2001) has been requested so often that episode 350 felt like the proper time to review it. Ice Cube, Natasha Henstridge, Pam Grier and Jason Statham must battle Mars-infected zombies, trust issues, and really, really bad editing. Can we (and John Carpenter) survive this one?
After the break we talk a little more about Sausage Party (2016) and take some listener correspondence. Enjoy!

BMFcast338 – Jason X – “Defenejason”
Jason X (2001) completes Harlo’s Crystal Lake journey and we all join him for the ride. Its Jason. In space. Murdering people. It’s also self-aware, which works in this case! In space, apparently, everybody is screwed.
In the second half Harlo really, really completes his Friday the 13th journey by watching Freddy vs Jason and the 2009 Friday the 13th remake before opting out of the 7-hour documentary. We also address some listener e-mails. Enjoy!
