Episode 192 - Pride from the Cave

In honor of Pride month, we looked at two films that we felt were interesting celebrations of different aspects of the LGBTQ+ world. We don't think these movies are going to necessarily change anyone or make the world a better place, but they are both excellent, thoughtful, and most-of-all FUN! We start off with 1982's Liquid Sky, from director Slava Tsukerman and featuring an amazing dual-lead performance from Anne Carlisle. It is an arty science fiction tale that reminded us all of Repo Man, and that's a hell of a compliment from the cave dwellers! We follow that with a completely fabulous, zero budget sci-fi romp from 1991 called Vegas in Space. It was largely created by and stars legendary drag queen and activist Doris Fish as well as a cavalcade of colorful, funny and memorable drag queens and genetic women, trying to solve a mystery on an "all-female" pleasure planet. This is pure entertainment and an amazingly successful labor of love. We then chat about other things we've seen and events in our lives. Please let us know what you thought of the show, and send us some suggestions for future episodes. You can email us at flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com.

Episode 191 - Cobracabana

We love Fred Williamson so we went back to his filmography for this episode. We look at the first 2 of the "Black Cobra" films. The first from 1987 is a boilerplate actioner with a typically cool performance from Williamson. The sequel "Black Cobra 2" from 1989 ups the ante by adding TV's Spiderman Nicholas Hammond as a sidekick when Williamson's character is sent to the Phillipines where he finds romance, intrigue and danger! These are both appealing and will not stretch your brain with simple plots and wall-to-wall fun!  We then chat about other things we've seen and events in our lives.
