BMFcast Extra 190 – Two Minute Warning
Two Minute Warning (1976) is a film about a sniper at the Super Bowl and the police efforts to stop him. They fail. An all-star cast and a silly script make this somewhat interesting and fun to talk about.
Bonus talk includes discussion of the TV edit of this film which is a completely different movie. It’s wild.

BMFcast Extra 185 – Blood Games
Blood Games (1990) sure is sleazy and exploitative. A traveling team of lady softball players are menaced by a town full of the worst of humanity and have to survive and eventually escape. Boy is it gross. Features half a dozen “Oh hey, you!” guys.

BMFcast490 – Gus – Operation Yugo Drop
Gus (1976) is our first venture into Disney+’s vast library of titles, something we’ll do from time to time going forward. It involves a mule from Yugoslavia who ends up playing for the NFL’s California Atoms after demonstrating that it can kick 100 yard field goals. That’s not a fake synopsis.
In the second half, after Harlo has some thoughts on Angel Has Fallen (2019) we continue our Disney+ thoughts and eventually settle into a delicate debate about Song of the South (1946). Should it be on the service? If so, should there be surrounding historical perspective and interviews with relevant participants to explain what the deal is with that thing? Enjoy.

BMFcast434 – Hot Dog the Movie – Skifenestration
Hot Dog the Movie (1984) by reputation is a raunchy sex comedy. It’s not. It’s a ski movie with boobs on display here and there. Some dudes ski, sometimes they have the sex, there’s a scandal and a big race, and that’s that.
In the second half we… just kidding, there is no second half this week. Enjoy!

BMFcast374 – Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos – KUFC
Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos (2015) aka Huevos: Little Rooster’s Egg-cellent Adventure marks the return of AniMAY! A young rooster named Toto must fight to save his owner’s farm. Literally. As in cock-fighting. At least it’s more like boxing, with all the requisite montages and fights one would expect. Is this Spanish-language 3D animated adventure our new AniMAY champ?
In the second half, Chuck discusses the Hunger Games series (2012-2015), Maki talks Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) and Office Space (1999), and BJ visits the non-Taco-Bell version of Demolition Man (1993) and the lunacy of Tank Girl (1995). Enjoy!

BMFcast332 – The Buttress of Windsor
Double Team (1997) brings Jean-Claude Van Damme back into the BMFcast fold, and he’s brought Dennis Rodman, Mickey Rourke, and Paul Freeman along for the ride. We can’t quite explain the plot, but there’s mercenaries, guns dealers and a super-secret Illuminati spy ring thing going on? Sure, that sounds about right. We talk about it for probably a bit too long.
After the break we had theme weekends as Harlo revisits the DC cinematic universe with the Nolan Batman trilogy and weighs in on Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition, Chuck sports it up with Foxcatcher, The Karate Kid, and Rocky 4, and Maki gets animated with Toy Story 2 and Happy Feet. Enjoy!

BMFcast311 – Please Hammer, Hurt Them
Hammer (1972) continues Blaxploitation History Month with a Fred Williamson classic. He’s a boxer who wants to keep his head down and his nose clean but the entire world wants to tell him he’s terrible. William Smith is along to keep the evil racist quotient as high as possible.
Second half BJ talks Danger 5, Maki reminds us that Unmasking The Idol is awesome, and Harlo visits his vampire side with The Hunger and Near Dark. Then we close out with a new batch of listener e-mails and voicemails. Enjoy!

BMFcast283 – Weekend at Thornies
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.
Second half we talk about Ant-Man and get an interesting phone call on the Garfield Hotline. Check it out and enjoy!
