Episode 232 - The Bloodifimacation

We are back to college for episode 232! We start off with "The Initiation" from 1984. With a great cast including Vera Miles, Clu Gulager and Daphne Zuniga, it's a twisty little tale of a college student with a cloudy past that all comes to light during a sorority initiation. It's a solid slasher with some fun reveals. We follow that with 1987's "Blood Sisters" from director Roberta Findlay. It also focuses on a sorority ceremony with a group of pledges. They are sent to a seemingly haunted house to spend the night but things quickly go awry. It's very low budget but manages to overcome that limitation in surprising ways.

Episode 231 - Django and Stubby

Western films made in Italy are very special to us in the cave. They turn the American version of the genre on its ear and give a whole new way to view that era. We look at two interesting examples on this episode of the podcast. We start off with the epically titled "Django Kill! If You Live, Shoot!" from 1967. Directed by Giulio Questi and starring Tomas Milian as "The Stranger" it's a twisty tale of revenge set in a surreal western town, and the film frequently lapses into bizareness. It's quite a ride! We follow that up with show-favorite director Lucio Fulci's 1975 film "The Four of the Apocalypse". Filled with Fulci's signature violence, this one gets REALLY brutal and then rips your heart out at the end with some real emotion. It's quite an accomplishment. Even though we thought both films were overlong, we still think they're worth watching! Please let us know what you thought of the show, and send us some suggestions for future episodes.

Episode 230 - Warhawk in the Cave

Welcome back to the 70's in the cave this time as we celebrate the two films of Warhawk Tanzania. We start off with Force Four from 1975 where Tanzania is part of a 4-person team that are assigned special missions by an unknown group. Their mission in the movie is to recover a stolen African artifact, but to do so is going to require a LOT of martial arts, and this movie really piles it on. We follow that with his starring role in 1976's Devil's Express. This really shows how magnetic he is and how tragic it is that we never got to see him continue as a leading man. The story this time is focused on an ancient Chinese demon that escapes to the USA and hides in the New York city subway, where it goes on a murderous rampage. Tanzania really turns it up in this one and we also get to see some really excellent supporting actors helping with the heavy lifting. Though both films are recommended, Devil's Express is really the jewel. Both movies are available on free streaming sites, and we urge you to check them out!

Episode 229 - Silver Screen Slashers

As we kick off 2024, we are changing a few things in the cave. We are staying true to our mission of finding strange little movies and telling you about them, but we're making some small adjustments to the overall format. To begin the new year, we're looking at two films about movie-fans who are more than a little bit out of control. As fanatics ourselves, these both struck pretty close to home! We start off with "Fade to Black" from 1980. Starring Dennis Christopher and with a fun appearance from the always-great Tim Thomerson, the story focuses on an obsessive movie fan who finds a Marilyn Monroe look-a-like and then goes murderously off the ledge. It's fun with some great cameos and cool location footage of late 90's Hollywood. We follow that with 1991's "Popcorn" which has a team of film students at a local college organizing a festival of B movies. Once the festival begins, they fall prey to a mysterious killer one by one. It also includes the "mysterious lost film" trope which we love, to really pump up the enjoyment. Is it a perfect movie? No. But, is it a lot of fun? Yes! Please let us know what you thought of the show, and send us some suggestions for future episodes.

Episode 228 - Be Kind Rewind 2023

Brace yourself for a truly epic episode! As a special gift during the holidays, we bring you a very fond retrospective of the year 2023 and the movies we REALLY liked and the ones we REALLY didn't! But, before we get to that, we spend time remembering the good old days of visiting actual video rental stores and the magic of discovering something new based entirely on the box art or the simple fact that it was available when the movie you came for was already rented. Our friend Eli joins us for this look into the rearview mirror and he lends MUCH to the conversation. We really want to thank everyone for sticking with us through the year and we can't wait to get back in the cave in 2024! Happy New Year, and please keep flickering!

Episode 227 - All Dolled Up

There is something undeniably freaky about puppets and mannequins. This time in the cave we look at two movies which feature this fact at the core of their stories. We start off with "Magic" from 1978. Directed by Richard Attenborough and starring true Hollywood heavyweights Anthony Hopkins, Ann-Margaret and Burgess Meredith, and with a script by the legendary William Goldman, based on his own novel...it's no suprise that it's great! This is a dark tale of derangement and psychosis, with young Anthony Hopkins turning in a powerful performance. It's great, watch it! We follow that with 1988's "Pin" from director Sandor Stern. This is a bizarre family drama where a strict father has convinced his children that the medical mannequin in his office can speak. Using ventriliquism, he lets the mannequin handle key moments of fatherly advice and this produces two VERY disturbed children who grow up to be VERY disturbed teenagers. It's weird and disturbing but also well-shot and assembled. Listen in to find out if it sounds like it's for you. We then proceed to list the various things we've been watching for fun.
