BMFcast515 – Omega Syndrome – Berlin Wahl
Omega Syndrome (1986) has a cool poster but is a lousy movie. Ken Wahl and his Vietnam vet buddy have to rescue Nicole Eggert from Nazis. We could tease you with additional details about it, or you can listen to hear us get duped by phony IMDb trivia about the film and then realize we’ve been duped in real time. That’s fun.

BMFcast512 – Strike Commando – Americanski
Strike Commando (1986) is why we do this. Terrible movie, absolute trash… and yet it’s the best thing. Reb Brown yells at and then murders everyone in Vietnam. Then later some extra folks in the Philippines. It’s Rambo: First Blood Part II made by space aliens.

BMFcast327 – True That
Deadliest Prey (2013) is the return of Mike Danton as he’s once again pulled into the dangerous game of man huntin’ by the evil Hogan in the sequel to BMFcast favorite David A. Prior’s classic Deadly Prey! Pretty much anyone that survived the first movie reprises their role in what amounts to a remake. Plus there are hackers and webcams. Does it work?
After the break we talk X-Men: Apocalypse, Step-Brothers, Electric Boogaloo: The Wild Untold Story of Cannon Films, and take some listener e-mails that devolve into JapaniMAY madness. Enjoy!
