BMFcast 591 – Warhead – Kamikaz-ski
Warhead (1996) is the story of a militia, led by Joe Lara (of Hologram Man fame), that takes over a nuclear missile silo and holds the US hostage unless the president resigns. Frank Zagarino (of Project Shadowchaser fame) is the man who can stop him. Can a lot of scenery chewing and incoherent action earn this one some Jox?

BMFcast 590 – The Dungeonmaster – The Dungeonbusters
The Dungeonmaster (1984) aka Ragewar brings us back to the world of Charles Band, as a dorky computer programmer is challenged by the devil (the late, great Richard Moll) to a series of tests to prove that magic is better than technology. A bunch of loosely related anthology scenes ensue. Will the power of lasers defeat the devil and earn some Jox?

BMFcast 589 – Evolver – Chekov’s Kaleidoscope
Evolver (1995) is a classic tale of boy plays VR game, boy meets girl who hates him, boy cheats to win VR tournament, boy wins robot, robot tries to kill boy, his mom, his kid sister, and the girl. It’s fun for the whole family, but is it Jox for the whole family?

BMFcast 588 – Deadly Friend – Cadavernapping
Deadly Friend (1986) is the story of a Doogie-Howser-esque robotics and AI genius who through a series of wildly inadvisable blunders sets a murderous-robot-brain-powered undead Kristy Swanson loose on an unsuspecting series of neighborhood jerks. All in the name of love, we think. We know Wes Craven can deliver on horror, but can he deliver on Jox?

BMFcast 587 – Bloodmoon – CHA-rizz-ma
Bloodmoon (1997) sees Gary Daniels return to the show as a retired detective who is called back into action when a serial killer begins taking out martial arts champions. He teams up with another martial artist detective (Chuck Jeffreys) to track down this steel-fingered killer. Will this follow-up from the director of Superfights (link to prior episode) reach that movie’s insanity?

BMFCast 586 – P.O.W. The Escape – P.O.W. Colada
P.O.W. The Escape (1986) continues our journey through the filmography of Steve James. This time he’s stuck in a P.O.W. camp and it’s up to David Carradine to help him and his buddies escape. Double-crossing captains, wild card prisoners and, well, the Vietnam War all complicate matters. Will this Cannon joint deliver?

BMFcast 585 – Royal Warriors – Air Acquaintances
Royal Warriors (1986) aka In The Line of Duty 1 brings Michelle Yeoh to the BMFcast once again. She helps prevent a plane hijacking, which leads to a bizarre revenge plot against her and the other heroes on the flight. From there it’s pretty much an all-out stunt spectacular. Yeah, this movie is giving you what you want. Speaking of giving the people what they want, special guest Chuck returns! Now the only question is how many Jox is this movie receiving?

BMFcast 584 – Dunston Checks In – BMFcast Checks Out
Dunston Checks In (1996) is our tribute to the late Paul Reubens. An orangutan has checked in to the finest hotel in New York City, and he’s here to pull heists with the evil Rupert Everett. After befriending the son of Jason Alexander, it’s Dunston on the run as everyone, including Paul Reubens and Faye Dunaway(!) is after that crazy simian. Hijinks ensue! Can all these monkeyshines bring us into Jox territory?

BMFcast 583 – Spiders – Gen-X-Files
Spiders (2000) has Lana Parrilla as a conspiracy theory obsessed reporter who investigates a space shuttle crash that may contain government-mutated spiders. Spoiler: it does! Of course, low-budget hijinks ensue. Sure, it feels like a Sci Fi Channel X-Files knockoff, but can a third act that goes PLACES push this into the upper tier of Jox-worthy movies?

BMFcast 582 – Land of the Free – Jeff Sneakman
Land of the Free (1998) welcomes William Shatner to the BMFcast, along with decorated alumni Jeff Speakman. Speaks is the campaign manager(!) for The Shat, an politician with a militia and a secret network at his disposal. However, it’s another PM Entertainment joint, with the appropriate number of launched cars and painfully dispatched stuntmen. Is this all-too-relevant tale of political corruption Jox-worthy?
