Episode 243 - Pay the Piper

Episode 243 is upon you! We are gathered here today to celebrate the incredible Mr. Brett Piper. This dude has made a ton of movies over his career, but we picked two for the episode, 1986's "Battle for the Lost Planet" and 1988's "Mutant War". Both tell the story of a future earth that has been invaded by evil aliens and our only hope is Harry Trent, played with a lot of charm in both movies by Matt Mitler. Mr. Piper wrote, directed and handled the special effects in both movies. Was there a huge budget? No. Are all of the the actors incredible? No. Are these two of the most fun movies we've seen? YES! We urge you to seek these out on Tubi or wherever you can find them. Have a beer and lose yourself in a few hours of the best low-budget filmmaking we've seen in a while!

Episode 242 - Jackstream

Episode 242 is here with some fantastically fun scifi movies! We start off with "Slipstream" from 1989. Starring Mark Hamill and Bill Paxton with a truly impressive upporting cast. It's an interesting post-apocalyptic story that largely focuses on AI and the ultimate question of just what makes something "alive". It has issues here and there but it's really throught-provoking and moves along at a quick pace. We follow that with 1992's "Freejack" which stars Emilio Estevez and Mick Jagger. This one also has an amazing amount of A-Listers filling in the cast. The story here involves a sort of time travel and the pursuit of immortality. Big themes, big action set-pieces, and very big ambitions throughout! Please let us know what you thought of the show, and send us some suggestions for future episodes.

Episode 241 - Psychic Crimes

We are back for episode 241 where we look at an entirely different type of "mind crime". We start off with 1982's "The Clairvoyant" also known as "The Killing Hour". This focuses on an artist who has violent dreams that seem to be depicting a series of murders around the city. It's a totally solid thriller with a truly surprising twist at the end. We follow that with a real rarity, a film from 1992 called "Small Kill". It features a surprising lead performance from none other than MASH's own Radar O'Reilly, Gary Burghoff as a murderous pedophile and extortionist. It's good, grim stuff with mostly solid performances and plenty of scenes that will completely skeeve you out. We recommend both movies very highly.

Episode 239 - Angel Wings

We lost the legendary Wings Hauser recently, so we decided to pick two films out of his enormous filmography for this episode of the podcast. Both films are from 1988, and we start off with "The Carpenter" from director David Wellington. It focuses on a couple that has moved into an old house, and, while making repairs, they realize there might be a ghostly presence in the home with a very violent streak. It's interesting with some bizarre moments, and Wings is up to his normal, charming, shenanigans. We follow that with "Nightmare at Noon", which is basically a remake of the 1984 movie "Mutant" which we covered in episode 219, including pairing Wings back up with Bo Hopkins! It's a lot of fun with crazy stunts throughout! Please let us know what you thought of the show, and send us some suggestions for future episodes.
