Or, more accurately, we're attending the Dotze hores de Cine de Terror de Molins de Rei, a ten hour marathon of recent horror movies that was initially established way back in 1973! The 1990 edition featured a slew of interesting horror films, and our hosts have chosen two to battle against each other: the super-intelligent dog chased by a sasquatch-monkey thing Canadian horror film WATCHERS from 1988 /w Corey Haim and Michael Ironside, and the star-studded underwater mutant monster film LEVIATHAN from 1989 /w Peter Weller, Ernie Hudson, Daniel Stern and more.

FUN! Then we pivot from gothic horror to existential satire with John Patrick Shanley’s 1990 cult classic JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO, starring Tom Hanks as a soul-crushed hypochondriac sent to leap into an active volcano on the island of Waponi Woo /w Meg Ryan in three different roles. Also, Carol Kane is there. For literally two minutes. And we talk about the suitcase guy, because that guy rules. ENJOY!

Filled with monkeys flying planes, microwaving slop (and being microwaved by the government!), and causing mischief, this controversial film also has Helen Hunt, William Sadler and CHIMPS galore! But not only THAT, we also check out an episode of TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE called "All a Clone By The Telephone" featuring Harry Anderson! AND DICK MILLER! It's ALL TOO MUCH!

On this skull-crushing episode of CINEMA SMORGASBORD SELLS OUT we're tackling the Kenji Tanigaki-directed action spectacle, The Furious! Filled (overfilled?) with action spectacle, a cavalcade of international action superstars come together to beat on each other in countless inventive ways while Xie Miao tries to track down his kidnapped daughter.

A returning episode of ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN with guest Mike X Nichols joining us to talk about all the latest Eric Roberts news as well as an odd AI-centered thriller from 2025 called VIOLET with a WILD backstory that is way more interesting than the film itself? IT'S TRUE! We talk about celebrity chefs, the SPIN cycle, mockbusters, stop motion, and so, SO much more before breaking down the unbelievable story behind VIOLET, which - despite being about the AI takeover of the world - features a ton of AI-generated content! WILD STUFF. CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 333 - Further Reeding - The Trap (1966)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-333-further-reeding-the-trap-1966/) - Bundle up tight because Further Reeding is heading deep into the unforgiving 19th-century Canadian wilderness with Oliver Reed at his absolute gruffest (and most outrageously accented) as Jean La Bête, a wild fur trapper who rolls into town and casually purchases a mute orphan girl, played by Rita Tushingham, to be his wilderness wife in 1966's THE TRAP. Can the pair survive the wilderness and each other? ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT!
- [Episode 332 - Wild in the Streets - Free Hand for a Tough Cop (1976)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-332-wild-in-the-streets-free-hand-for-a-tough-cop-1976/) - This week on Wild in the Streets, Doug and Liam are familiarizing themselves with Er Monnezza (aka Garbage Can), Tomas Milian's foul mouthed criminal with a heart of.. uh.. gold who teams up with Claudio Cassinelli's hard-nosed cop to track down a kidnapped little girl being held hostage by the evil Henry Silva in 1976's FREE HAND FOR A TOUGH COP (aka TOUGH COP). Grab some J&B and grab a brick because on this episode we're out for BLOOD!
- [Episode 331 - Serpent's Path: The Films of Kiyoshi Kurosawa - Suit Yourself or Shoot Yourself: The Loot (1996) & Suit Yourself or Shoot Yourself: The Gamble (1996)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-331-serpents-path-the-films-of-kiyoshi-kurosawa-suit-yourself-or-shoot-yourself-the-loot-1996-suit-yourself-or-shoot-yourself-the-gamble-1996/) - SERPENT'S PATH: THE FILMS OF KIYOSHI KUROSAWA returns, and we dive into the third and fourth entries of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's crime-comedy V-cinema series: Suit Yourself or Shoot Yourself: The Loot (1996) (Katte ni shiyagare!! Ôgon keikaku) and Suit Yourself or Shoot Yourself: The Gamble (1996) (Katte ni shiyagare!! Gyakuten keikaku). Once again we follow low-level criminals Yûji (Sho Aikawa) and Kôsaku (Kôyô Maeda) as they find a treasure map(!), win big at the track, get in trouble with yakuza (of course) and maybe, just maybe, learn a little about themselves. Or not! We look at how Kurosawa's style is developing, where he's moving to in his career, and look forward to some VERY interesting developments. CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 323 - Serpent's Path: The Films of Kiyoshi Kurosawa - Suit Yourself or Shoot Yourself: The Heist (1995) & Suit Yourself or Shoot Yourself: The Escape (1995)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-323-serpents-path-the-films-of-kiyoshi-kurosawa-suit-yourself-or-shoot-yourself-the-heist-1995-suit-yourself-or-shoot-yourself-the-escape-1995/) - After starting his V-Cinema adventure with MEN OF RAGE and YAKUZA TAXI (both covered on our last episode) Kiyoshi Kurosawa began his most ambitious project yet: a series of SIX films featuring two bumbling, but loveable, gangsters played by Shô Aikawa and Kôyô Maeda who continually find themselves in unlikely, comical scenarios (with - naturally - bursts of sex and violence). Kurosawa would shoot two of the films at a time, and on this episode of Serpent's Path we're checking out the first two entries. In 1995's Suit Yourself or Shoot Yourself: The Heist our pair end up falling for the same woman, only to be forced to help her raise money for a sick relative once she gets involved with (wait for it!) the yakuza. Then, in Suit Yourself or Shoot Yourself: The Escape (also from 1995) the two are hired by a Yakuza boss to spy on his daughter and her boyfriend, only for them to get wrapped up in a tale of love, betrayal and AUSTRALIA. All that and plenty of context, so ENJOY!

Written by Jim Strouse and starring Casey Affleck as a depressed, failed novelist who returns to his Indiana hometown and connects with a local nurse (played by Liv Tyler), LONESOME JIM got a bit lost in the cavalcade of sad-sack dude movies in the mid 2000s, but is it worthy of discovery? Let's find out.
- [Episode 329 - Praising Kane - Flashback (1990)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-329-praising-kane-flashback-1990/) - Our chronological journey through the filmography of Carol Kane enters the 1990s! On this episode of PRAISING KANE (the world’s finest chronological Carol Kane-themed podcast) we're diving into Franco Amurri's buddy-comedy/action-thriller crossover Flashback (1990). Starring Kiefer Sutherland as a buttoned-down, straight-laced FBI agent tasked with escorting a legendary, Abbie Hoffmanesque hippie played by Dennis Hopper. Featuring a great supporting cast including Paul Dooley, Michael McKean, Cliff DeYoung, and — of course — our beloved Carol Kane. How does this odd-couple road trip hold up, and how much does Carol steal the show? LISTEN and FIND OUT!
- [Episode 328 - George Kennedy is My Copilot - Dirty Dingus Magee (1970) (and Murder on High - Part 1)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-328-george-kennedy-is-my-copilot-dirty-dingus-magee-1970-and-murder-on-high-part-1/) - We're BACK! And better than ever! On this PACKED episode of GEORGE KENNEDY IS MY COPILOT we're doubling up once again, starting with a look at the first half of George Kennedy's second mystery novel MURDER ON HIGH where once again George has to help his buddy Mike Corby solve a mystery.. but this time it's while they are on a freakin' AIRPLANE! Exciting stuff! Then we check out the 1970 revisionist western DIRTY DINGUS MAGEE featuring Frank Sinatra as the titular antihero outlaw. It's certainly something. And of course George Kennedy plays the hapless sheriff on Magee's tail. Check it ALL out right now!
- [Episode 327 - Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out - Blue Heron (2025)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-327-cinema-smorgasbord-sells-out-blue-heron-2025/) - OH CANADA! On this episode of Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out, our hosts have a chat about Canadian cinema having a moment, what the country can do to become a bigger player internationally (and at home) and some of our favorite Canadian films before taking a look at Sophy Romvari's tremendous semi-autobiographical drama BLUE HERON from 2025. It's a quietly experimental film about a family becoming increasingly fractured by a child's erratic behavior, and it's worth going out of your way to see. And hear us talk about!
- [Episode 326 - Wild in the Streets - The Big Racket (1976)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-326-wild-in-the-streets-the-big-racket-1976/) - On a pulse pounding returning WILD IN THE STREETS Fabio Testi is trying to take down the protection racket in Rome but is up to his elbows in red tape, but after one incident too many he's fired and has to assemble a crack squad of cons to take down the baddies in Enzo G. Castellari's action packed THE BIG RACKET from 1976. Full of wild set pieces and some particularly nasty moments, it's an over-the-top romp with a final bloody action sequence inspired by The Wild Bunch! But how do our oh-too-sensitive hosts deal with all this? Let's find out!
- [Episode 325 - We Do Our Own Stunts - Police Story (1985)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-325-we-do-our-own-stunts-police-story-1985/) - It doesn't get much better than this. On a long-awaited WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS Jackie Chan fulfills his long-term goal (devised partially as a response to his experience with James Glickenhaus' The Protector) to make a different kind of Hong Kong martial arts movie and pulls it off in spectacular fashion with 1985's POLICE STORY. Containing some of his most celebrated fights (the glass-filled mall spectacular) and stunts (the shantytown car chase, the umbrella assisted bus stunts and - of course - his dangerous pole slide), it changed the game for martial arts films, and launched Chan's career into the stratosphere. BUT DOES IT LIVE UP TO THE HYPE?! On this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS we look at the stories and history behind the film, and where it exists in Jackie's career.
- [Episode 324 - Do You Otaku? - Delicious in Dungeon (aka Dungeon Meshi) (Season 1)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-324-do-you-otaku-delicious-in-dungeon-aka-dungeon-meshi-season-1/) - In Delicious in Dungeon an adventuring group tries to track down and kill a dragon that ate one of their members, but can only survive by killing and eating the monsters they find along the way. Sounds simple, right? Well, this comedy-adventure series is anything but, with loads of often odd humor, detailed cooking sequences and some impressive world building.. BUT WILL DOUG LIKE IT? That's the question on this episode of DO YOU OTAKU? where Liam once again introduces Doug to a full season of a popular anime series and tries to convince him that it's worthwhile. LISTEN AND SEE HOW IT WORKS!
- [Episode 307 - Do You Otaku? - Dandadan (Season 1)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-307-do-you-otaku-dandadan-season-1/) - Cinema Smorgasbord host Liam O'Donnell is an anime/manga-loving man in his 40s while his Cinema Smorgasbord co-host Doug Tilley is an anime skeptic (and grumpy old man). On DO YOU OTAKU? Liam is going to force Doug to watch popular anime TV shows and movies and RECORD THE RESULTS. On this PREMIERE episode Liam makes Doug watch the 12-episode first season of the comedy/romance/sci-fi/horror anime DANDADAN, where two high school students encounter monsters, aliens and maybe - just maybe - learn a bit about love. It's better than that sounds. Always curious about anime but have no idea where to start? START RIGHT HERE, BOZO.
- [Episode 322 - How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? - The Ridiculous 6 (2015)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-322-how-do-you-do-fellow-kids-the-ridiculous-6-2015/) - We RETURN TO THE SANDLER-VERSE on this episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? (the world's finest Steve Buscemi podcast) with the 2015 made-for-Netflix western-comedy THE RIDICULOUS 6 featuring Terry Crews, Taylor Lautner, Rob Schneider, Jorge Garcia, and Luke Wilson and Sandler himself as the titular 6, as well as appearances by Will Forte, Steve Zahn, Nick Nolte, Danny Trejo, Harvey Keitel and.. uh.. Vanilla Ice as Mark Twain. Oh, and it sucks! It's really bad! Hear us suffer, please.
- [Episode 321 - Bartel Me Something Good - Chopping Mall (1986) & The Living End (1992)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-321-bartel-me-something-good-chopping-mall-1986-the-living-end-1992/) - On this free-wheeling episode of BARTEL ME SOMETHING GOOD we're doubling up with two films featuring notable Paul Bartel ACTING performances. Uh.. kinda. We start with the cult-classic killer robots in a mall horror film CHOPPING MALL, directed by Jim Wynorski. With an all-star cast including Kelli Maroney, Barbara Crampton, DICK MILLER, Gerrit Graham, Mel Welles, Angus Scrimm and - of course - Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov, reprising their roles from EATING RAOUL! Then we put on our deerstalker hats and pull out our magnifying glasses as we solve the mystery of WHERE IS PAUL BARTEL (as "Twister Master") IN GREGG ARAKI'S THE LIVING END?! The record will be changed PERMANANTLY as we discuss Araki's transgressive 1992 road comedy-drama ALSO featuring an appearance by Mary Woronov. Have a listen, friends!
- [Episode 320 - Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out - Send Help (2026)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-320-cinema-smorgasbord-sells-out-send-help-2026/) - We're selling out again.. and much faster than usual! On this explosive episode of CINEMA SMORGASBORD SELLS OUT we're surviving on wild boar and coconut water with the help of Sam Raimi in 2026's SEND HELP, his return to low-budget thrills starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien! That pair got stranded on a deserted island after a (appropriately violent) plane crash, but here's the twist: O'Brien is McAdams' overbearing, piece of garbage boss and McAdams is obsessed with survivalist books and TV shows. The pair learn a lot about love, friendship and MURDERING EACH OTHER. Did we like it? I dunno. Let's find out!
- [Episode 319 - Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out - Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-319-cinema-smorgasbord-sells-out-jesus-christ-superstar-1973/) - WHAT'S THE BUZZ?! TELL ME WHAT'S A-HAPPENIN! On this episode we're SELLING OUT FOR THE LORD as we tackle Norman Jewison's adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice rock opera JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR featuring (wussy) Ted Neeley as Jesus and (bad-ass) Carl Anderson as Judas. Doug asks Liam all sorts of uncomfortable religious questions. Y'know, for fun! We'll talk the history, the performances, the accusations of anti-semitism, all that stuff! Also, what is the DEAL with this Jesus guy? Listen and find out!
- [Episode 318 - Praising Kane - The Lemon Sisters (1989)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-318-praising-kane-the-lemon-sisters-1989/) - We like to have fun here on PRAISING KANE, the world's finest chronological Carol Kane-themed podcast, but occasionally - rarely - even Carol Kane's charms are not enough to lift up a film, and that's certainly the case with Joyce Chopra's misguided misfire THE LEMON SISTERS from 1989 (though held back from release until 1990). Despite a dynamite supporting cast (including Elliott Gould, Aidan Quinn, a young Nathan Lane, and Ruben Blades) and the talented trio of Diane Keaton, Kathryn Grody and Kane herself as the titular Lemon Sister (friends who grew up together on the Atlantic City boardwalk who sing standards in a nightclub.. sorta), it's just a disaster. Bad music, incomprehensible plot elements, and a lack of chemistry just dooms the whole thing. But is there ANYTHING to recommend it? Listen and find out!
- [Episode 317 - Wild in the Streets - Young, Violent, Dangerous (1976)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-317-wild-in-the-streets-young-violent-dangerous-1976/) - Three well-to-do young men go on a crime and killing spree for KICKS while Tomas Milian is.. uh.. kinda on their trail in Romolo Guerrieri's YOUNG, VIOLENT, DANGEROUS from 1976! Milian is sort of wasted, but the trio are a hoot (and there's plenty of homoerotic under(?)current as well, because of course there is! There's blood, murder, and a tremendous car chase. Who could ask for anything more? We also discuss our favorite trios for some reason. ENJOY!
- [Episode 316 - How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? - The Big Lebowski (1997)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-316-how-do-you-do-fellow-kids-the-big-lebowski-1997/) - On a brand new episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? we're finding a stranger in the alps with THE DUDE and all his funny pals in The Coen Brothers' neo-noir cult favorite THE BIG LEBOWSKI from 1997. Featuring Jeff Bridges as the dude, John Goodman as his pal Walter Sobchak and - of course - the great Steve Buscemi as the mild-mannered Donny (and also Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, John Turturro, Sam Elliott and MORE). We talk about Dudeism, oat sodas, Caucasians.. all that stuff! Enjoy!
- [Episode 315 - We Do Our Own Stunts - Heart of Dragon (1985)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-315-we-do-our-own-stunts-heart-of-dragon-1985/) - Before we get to the sublime (POLICE STORY) we need to experience the ridiculous, and it doesn't get much more ridiculous than 1985's HEART OF DRAGON which features Jackie taking care of his developmentally delayed brother (played by Sammo Hung) even though he really just wants to be on the SWAT Team.. or a police officer.. or a sailor. While sometimes a total disaster (the Sammo antics are NOT GREAT) it also features some extraordinary choreography (from Yuen Biao), particularly in the Japanese version we watched for this episode that has TWO extra fight scenes and closing credits outtakes. Hear some conflicted opinions on this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS!
- [Episode 314 - Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out - Is this Thing On? (2025)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-314-cinema-smorgasbord-sells-out-is-this-thing-on-2025/) - On a returning CINEMA SMORGASBORD SELLS OUT we're talking about Bradley Cooper's divorced dad energy mid-life crisis comedy-drama IS THIS THING ON? for some reason. Will Arnett plays a RICH BASTARD who divorces former volleyball star Laura Dern and turns to stand-up comedy to discover insights about himself and somehow we STILL decided to watch it. Bradley Cooper plays a character named BALLS! Yikes! Anyway, there are plenty of shocking revelations, so give it a listen. Spoilers ahead, but who cares?
- [Episode 313 - Further Reeding - Tommy (1975) (/w Kolleen Carney Hoepfner)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-313-further-reeding-tommy-1975-w-kolleen-carney-hoepfner/) - On a brand new episode of FURTHER REEDING (the world's finest Oliver Reed-themed podcast) you can SEE US, FEEL US, TOUCH US and HEAL US as we check out Ken Russell's all-star film adaptation of The Who's classic rock opera TOMMY starring Roger Daltrey, Ann-Margret, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Jack Nicholson, Tina Turner and - of course - OLIVER REED! We couldn't cover such an epic experience by ourselves, so we're joined by special guest Kolleen Carney Hoepfner to cover the good and bad of Russell's overblown, over-the-top, synth-heavy monster! Our senses will never be the same!
- [Episode 312 - Eric Roberts is the Man - Luck of the Draw (2000)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-312-eric-roberts-is-the-man-luck-of-the-draw-2000/) - On an UNPRECEDENTED new episode of Eric Roberts is the Man, we're covering a film.. FOR THE SECOND TIME! Due to a series of unfortunate events (and fading memories) The Catered Quiz host (and Family Feud veteran) Rick Katschke joins us for our second kick at the all-star counterfeit money crime caper LUCK OF THE DRAW from 2000 (/w Dennis Hopper, Ice-T, Michael Madsen, William Forsythe and - of course - ERIC ROBERTS). Did we like it any more this time? GUESS YOU'LL HAVE TO LISTEN AND FIND OUT. All that and the latest Eric Roberts news. ENJOY.
- [Episode 311 - Wild in the Streets - No, The Case is Happily Resolved (1973)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-311-wild-in-the-streets-no-the-case-is-happily-resolved-1973/) - What if you witnessed a murder but the ACTUAL murderer goes to the cops first and accused YOU of being the killer? UH OH! That's what happens to Enzo Cerusico's hapless Fabio Santamaria in 1973's comically titled NO, THE CASE IS HAPPILY RESOLVED where Fabio's attempts to not get involved in the criminal justice system lands him in a heap of trouble, while the actual murderer (a school professor played by Riccardo Cucciolla) is treated like a hero by the cops. It's a dire look at class differences, the criminal justice system and making a lot of BAD decisions when you think someone is looking for you. At least, until a terrible, tacked-on ending (which we discuss!). CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 310 - Serpent's Path: The Films of Kiyoshi Kurosawa - Men of Rage (1994) & Yakuza Taxi (1994)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-310-serpents-path-the-films-of-kiyoshi-kurosawa-men-of-rage-1994-yakuza-taxi-1994/) - Kiyoshi Kurosawa is coming off a rough patch after controversies around SWEET HOME in 1989 and the financial failure of THE GUARD FROM UNDERGROUND in 1992, but after retreating into television work he's about to be given a new lifeline in the 90s: V-CINEMA! This straight-to-VHS trend focusing on genre fare ended up being a training ground for a number of favorite directors and Kurosawa dives right in, first with the extremely silly (but quite fun) crime-comedy YAKUZA TAXI, and continuing with the cycling drama (adapted from a Yasuhito Yamamoto manga) MEN OF RAGE. On this episode of SERPENT'S PATH we look at everything Kurosawa was up to, how he ended up on these two films, and detail some of our own frustrations watching them. ENJOY!
- [Episode 309 - You Don't Know Dick - The Trip (1967)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-309-you-dont-know-dick-the-trip-1967/) - We're going GUESTLESS and UNTETHERED on this episode of YOU DON'T KNOW DICK, and what a long, strange trip it is! We're checking out the Roger Corman-directed 1967 film THE TRIP starring Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern and Dennis Hopper and it's full of surreal visuals, mind-expanding dialogue and hippy nonsense! Roger Corman went on an LSD trip as prep for the film, and he imbues it with plenty of independent energy (helped by Fonda and Hopper filming guerilla style on the streets of LA), but is it consciousness expanding weirdness or boring nonsense? Let's find out!
- [Episode 308 - How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? - The Impostors (1998)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-308-how-do-you-do-fellow-kids-the-imposters-1998/) - Steve Buscemi.. the CROONER? It happened!

I'm laughing already! And you'll be laughing(?) alongside an all-star cast that includes Alfred Molina, Tony Shalhoub, Hope Davis, Lili Taylor, Richard Jenkins, Allison Janney, and - of course - Steve Buscemi as "Happy" Franks. Also Woody Allen shows up. Anyway, all that and the latest Buscemi news. Stop reading this and start listening!

Trying desperately to seem like a sequel to the previous year's VIOLENT NAPLES, this one has Leonard Mann as Commissioner Belli, a cop on the edge trying to track down rogue mob boss Santoro (Henry Silva) while also helping out a precocious/annoying kid named Gennarino. Thankfully this one has a trick up its sleeve: EXTREME VIOLENCE (thanks to Fulci makeup favorite Gino De Rossi), and a few solid action scenes (car chases! Pool hall fights! Piano wire decapitation!) to keep things moving. It's not bad, but is it.. good? Listen and find out!

Now, normally we would do a big, special celebratory episode, but.. uh.. I forgot it was coming up so instead we're back with those pervy Lucky Stars goofballs as they travel to Thailand for some trademark misadventures/sexual harassment. Thankfully these sequences are intercut with some of the most incredible action sequences of the era featuring (naturally) Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao (and also Andy Lau, Richard Norton, Lau Kar-wing, Dick Wei, Philip Ko, and Yasuaki Kurata!). Michelle Yeoh even pops up briefly. It's a tale of two movies in 1985's TWINKLE TWINKLE, LUCKY STARS. Enjoy!

We start with the Serbian 2023 socio-political satire WORKING CLASS GOES TO HELL from LIFE AND DEATH OF A PORNO GANG director Mladen Djordjević about a group of exploited workers who turn to Satan for some help battling corrupt businessmen and political leaders. We follow that up with Scooter McCrae's BLACK EYED SUSAN, which features Yvonne Emilie Thälker as a sex doll designed for punishment, and tackles some iffy moral questions about the future of artificial intelligence and.. Hey! This isn't very spooky at all! Oops!

It would be a few more years before Kurosawa would direct another feature, returning with the slasher-y office thriller THE GUARD FROM UNDERGROUND which has a number of hints at what would become his trademark style. Let's check it out!

Both films have a unique mix of eroticism and surrealism, and are a world away from the films we most closely associated with Kurosawa. Enjoy!

We break down all the latest news on this episode, followed by a look at the strange Caitlin Adams-directed crime-comedy STICKY FINGERS starring Helen Slater and Melanie Mayron as two down-on-their-luck street musicians who are saddled with a bag containing almost a million dollars!

BIG MISTAKE! Cassinelli spends most of the film tracking them down to get a little revenge, helped by the sympathetic sex worker Leila. It's bookended by some terrific action (especially the car and motorcycle chases in the first thirty minutes, but then settles down into some Noir-ish score settling buoyed by a terrific, jazzy soundtrack. But what did we think? CHECK IT OUT!

Instead people cling onto weird child-like automatons while slowing losing their minds and eating steak-flavored paste. That's good eating! When Chaplin's Carol decides she wants to have a baby anyway things get.. pretty goofy, especially when the neighbors discover the couple's not-very-well-hidden secret. It's strange! Check it out!
- [Episode 290 - Bartel Me Something Good - Hollywood Boulevard (1976)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-290-bartel-me-something-good-hollywood-boulevard-1976/) - Uh oh!

It's even.. uh.. sort of an adaptation of a Ray Bradbury story. All that and so much more, so enjoy!

On this episode we go through some recent watches, discuss the Ari Aster films we've seen so far, and then have the DEFINITIVE conversation about EDDINGTON (with some warning before any spoiler talk). Enjoy!

Playing a hard-nosed New York City cop teamed with Danny Aiello, Chan swears and shoots through a blood revenge film, but then - thoroughly displeased with the experience - he went and added a bunch of new scenes for the Hong Kong release. On this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS we look at Jackie Chan's frustrations, the good (and bad) of each release and WHICH REIGNS SUPREME. Enjoy!

We discuss its soundtrack (featuring The Platters and The Blockbusters), the attempted remake by Quentin Tarantino and Dick Miller's incredible performance as guy with the biggest chip on his shoulder imaginable. Check it out!

Featuring a stand-out slimy performance from Tomas Milian, the film follows small-time scumbag Giulio Sacchi as he goes on a spree of murder and mayhem throughout Milan while tough cop Walter Grandi (Henry Silva) is hot on his trail. It's filled with chaos and bloodshed, but is it fascist? Let's talk about it.

We start by taking a look at 1995's HIGHER LEARNING, a sometimes stodgy but ultimately worthwhile look at the various troubles and conflicts that occur among a group of college freshmen. Then we move onto the eye-blistering neon of the big-budget 2003 sequel 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS!
- [Episode 85 - Praising Kane - The World's Greatest Lover (1977)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-85-praising-kane-the-worlds-greatest-lover-1977/) - On this episode of PRAISING KANE we're back in the silent era with Carol Kane, but this time in a broad Mel Brooks-ish comedy! Gene Wilder directed, wrote and starred in 1977's THE WORLD'S GREATEST LOVER, a silent-era chuckler about a baker (Wilder) who travels to Hollywood in order to become the next Rudolph Valentino, despite an unfortunate collection of nervous tics. It's plenty wacky, and awfully corny, but does it hit the mark or fall flat? Listen and find out!

The answer? An adaptation of the beloved, expansive science fiction novel by Frank Herbert. What followed was an epic collaboration involving the director and a collection of legendary collaborators (or "spiritual warriors") including Dan O'Bannon, Jean "Moebius" Girard, Chris Foss, H.R. Giger, Pink Floyd, Salvador Dali, Orson Welles, and that's just the beginning! On this episode we look at how the project developed, how it fell apart, and whether it's truly the greatest film never made. We also look at some of the criticism of the project, the adaptations of Dune that were to follow and - of course - the 2014 documentary JODOROWSKY'S DUNE that helped bring the story to the world.

Directed by Richard Benjamin, it has a bunch of young familiar faces (including Crispin Glover and Michael Madsen), and clearly has a lot of empathy for its mixed up central characters. Oh, and of course Carol Kane is in there as well in a small - but memorable - role. All that and the latest Carol Kane news so CHECK IT OUT.

From the creators of the worldwide cult sensation WHO KILLED CAPTAIN ALEX?, BAD BLACK has a similar mix of microbudget action, comedy and drama, accompanied by the ever-present commentary from a video joker, while COLD HELL pits a Turkish immigrant (an incredible Violetta Schurawlow) working as a taxi driver against a religious fanatic targeting women in Austria.

We were both dreading having to talk about ANNIE HALL on the latest episode of PRAISING KANE (Liam even wanted to skip this episode entirely), so instead, we spend the first half of the episode talking about why we almost skipped it (yes, it's because of Woody Allen), our frustrations with separating art from artist, and how we personally deal with films that have been poisoned by the actions of people involved. After the break we shift gears to give our general thoughts on the film and, of course, Carol Kane's performance within. Check it out.

The pair head to LA to get some cash for Dinklage's stolen screenplay, while paying tribute to their recently deceased friend Pete Smalls (Tim Roth). It's overstuffed, and needlessly confusing, but has a parade of familiar faces that keeps things lively. We also chat about private detectives, Steve Buscemi's biggest box office hits and MORE. Check it out!
- [Episode 110 - Cinema Fantastica - The Windmill Massacre (2016) & Dog Eat Dog (2016)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-110-cinema-fantastica-the-windmill-massacre-2016-dog-eat-dog-2016/) - On this episode of Cinema Fantastica we're going all the way to Melbourne, Australia and the 2016 edition of the Monster Fest film festival which featured the Amsterdam-set supernatural slasher film THE WINDMILL MASSACRE and Paul Schrader's unhinged crime film DOG EAT DOG.

That story took seven years to tell, finally finishing in 1988. Since then there's been a prequel (Before The Incal), an abandoned sequel with Moebius (After The Incal) and a true sequel finished in 2014 (Final Incal). On this episode of JodoWOWsky we check out the entire Incal saga, starting with Jodorowsky's comic background and his first work with Moebius before moving into discussing each novel, before finishing with some final thoughts on the series, as well as our thoughts on the upcoming film version directed by Taika Waititi. And we finish by fan-casting our ideal John Difool!

And what better way to say goodbye to another banner year than with two relatively-seasonal, shockingly different movie picks? We start with the coming-of-age comic strip adaptation FEAST OF THE SEVEN FISHES (starring Skyler Gisondo, Joe Pantoliano, Addison Timlin and Madison Iseman) and move right into the microbudget horror comedy(?) SCREAM FOR CHRISTMAS (starring nobody you've heard of). We also discuss some of our favorite holiday-themed films, discuss our hopes for 2023 and SO MUCH MORE. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

On this episode we go back to 2005's Thumbsucker, which won a Special Jury Prize at that year's Sundance and stars Lou Taylor Pucci, Tilda Swinton, Vincent D'Onofrio and Keanu Reeves.

We're post-American excursion and post-Lo Wei scraps and things are about to POP OFF with the first of the Five Lucky Stars series WINNERS & SINNERS starring Sammo Hung, Richard Ng, Charlie Chin, Stanley Fung and John Shum. Oh, and Jackie Chan is here as well, reconnecting with his "big brother" (and Yuen Biao in a tiny part) for the first time in years and transitioning to martial arts/comedy hybrids with higher production values and bigger stunts. This one might lean a bit TOO heavily on the comedy, but you get roller skating stunts, car stunts, and some dynamite action to whet your appetite for what's to come. Enjoy!

Then we move on to the often baffling THE JEALOUS GOD, a collaboration between Jodorowsky and Silvio Cadelo first published in Heavy Metal in 1985. And finally we finish with Jodorowsky's first young adult comic THE MAGICAL TWINS with his frequent collaborator Georges Bess, first published in 1987. All this and the latest Jodorowsky news.

Featuring Uma Thurman making her feature film debut, as well as forgotten Dillon sibling Paul Dillon, the movie is meandering, ugly and tedious, but manages to capture a uniquely grimy aesthetic at times. Also, STEVE BUSCEMI is in it! CHECK IT OUT!

Fun, right? I guess we'll see! We also chat about drunk driving, guns, Michael Madsen, Guy Ritchie knock-offs and SO MUCH MORE. Check it out!
- [Episode 139 - JodoWOWsky Part 9 - The Rainbow Thief (1990)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-139-jodowowsky-part-9-the-rainbow-thief-1990/) - After the worldwide success of SANTA SANGRE, Jodorowsky was inundated with offers to make horror films, but he found himself more interested in - for the first time - working with a large budget and big stars. His opportunity came in the form of producer Alexander Salkind, who approached Jodo to direct his wife script for a project called THE RAINBOW THIEF, starring Omar Sharif, Peter O'Toole and Christopher Lee. The result (nearly) ended Alejandro Jodorowsky's directing career, with the film barely being release before being dumped onto VHS in the US four years after its completion.

Not much! Despite a big budget, an incredible cast (Dustin Hoffman, Nicole Kidman, Bruce Willis and.. uh.. Loren Dean!) and Tom Stoppard handling the script, it's a lifeless and predictable slog.

Equal parts perverse and hilarious, it's a film that is filled with twists and turns and set the blueprint for much of what was to come from the always unpredictable director.

But aside from that dynamite lead, does the film hold up to our older - and somehow even MORE cynical - eyes? And does it even matter? Lots of talk about the drug war, hypocrisy, and all that good stuff. Check it out!
- [Episode 100 - George Kennedy is my Copilot - Brain Dead (1990)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-100-george-kennedy-is-my-copilot-brain-dead-1990/) - On this very special 100th episode of Cinema Smorgasbord we kick off 2022 with the wonderful Sarah Jane to look at another George Kennedy classic on GEORGE KENNEDY IS OUR COPILOT.

They are still at large! On this episode of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VIC DIAZ it's 1974's SAVAGE SISTERS, a wonderfully cartoonish (sorta) women-in-prison film full of outrageous humor, double crossing and - of course Vic Diaz as ONE EYE. Gloria Hendry, Cheri Caffaro and Rosanna Ortiz play the titular characters, with Sid Haig, Eddie Garcia and John Ashley (who also produced) as their often ridiculous foils. What did we think? Listen and find out!

Thankfully, William Fruet's WEDDING IN WHITE delivers a strong lead performance from Kane, who is surrounded by some heavy-hitters (including Donald Pleasance)! While this Canadian drama is somewhat obscure, despite having won Best Feature Film at the 1972 Canadian Film Awards, it's really well made, affecting and often depressing as hell. LISTEN TO US TALK ABOUT IT!
- [Episode 23 - You Don't Know Dick - Gremlins (1984) (/w Elijah Drenner)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-23-you-dont-know-dick-gremlins-1984/) - On this episode of YOU DON'T KNOW DICK we're joined by Elijah Drenner, the director of the 2014 documentary THAT GUY DICK MILLER to talk about Dick Miller's life and work, and how a special feature grew into a feature length celebration of the man we all love.

Joe Dante!) and even more awesome cameos (Martin Scorsese eating KFC with Bartel and Sylvester Stallone), it's a sometimes shaky, but always entertaining, collection of comedy, musical numbers (?) and car stunts. Find out how it all came together on this brand new episode of BARTEL ME SOMETHING GOOD.

CANNONBALL RUN II which brings back all the things you know and love(?) about the first film, and.. well, that's just about it. It's pretty much the same thing. Except there's an orangutan this time, and Jackie has been teamed up with Richard Kiel just to make sure we all know he's extra small and (once again) bafflingly Japanese. Listen to Liam's blood pressure rise in REAL TIME as he describes his time with the film. ENJOY!

After a targeted attack of his graveyard (including the grave of his late wife), Karsh - with the help of his late wife's sister and her ex-husband - starts to investigate the motivation behind the attack. It's dark, oppressive, oddly funny and awfully odd, but is it great? Let's discuss!
- [Episode 267 - You Don't Know Dick - Used Cars (/w Mike White)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-267-you-dont-know-dick-used-cars-w-mike-white/) - It's the long-awaited return of YOU DON'T KNOW DICK and we've got a barn burner of an episode featuring cinematic podcast royalty Mike White (from The Projection Booth) joining us to chat about the raucous 1980 comedy USED CARS /w Kurt Russell, Jack Warden, Deborah Harmon, Frank McRae and Gerrit Graham! But before that we go deep on what the heck happened to Robert Zemeckis, and how USED CARS came about - and how it was turned into a mid-80s TV show (briefly). All this and, of course, a close look at Dick Miller's (brief) appearance, and it's NON-STOP LAUGHS. Trust US!
- [Episode 265 - Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out - Anora (2024)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-265-cinema-smorgasbord-sells-out-anora-2024/) - How do you solve a problem like ANORA, the recent Best Picture Oscar winner directed by problematic(?) fav Sean Baker? It seems like everyone has an opinion on the film (about a young sex worker who marries the son of a Russian oligarch), so why not add OURS into the mix? We get down and dirty with some of the controversies surrounding the film, but mostly just talk about what we liked and didn't like about the film like good little critics. ENJOY!
- [Episode 264 - Praising Kane - Ishtar (1986)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-264-praising-kane-ishtar-1986/) - PRAISING KANE returns with the notorious Elaine May-directed, Dustin Hoffman & Warren Beatty-starring bomb ISHTAR from 1986! Featuring those two as hapless songwriters who end up wrapped up in international intrigue in the middle east, it had a famously messy production but is it as bad as its reputation? Or as good as its revised reputation? Also, did you know Carol Kane is in it? SHE IS! But first we have to chat about the 1986 Cinemax comedy sketch special from Bob Goldthwait called DON'T WATCH THIS SHOW, with Whoopi Goldberg, Tim Kazurinsky, Dee Snider, (an uncredited) Robin Williams and - of course - CAROL KANE! It's AWFUL! All this and the latest CK news so LISTEN!

Stuffed with great character actors (Jean Smart, Justin Long, Fred Willard, Mary Kay Place, M. Emmett Walsh), its episodic format takes some getting used to, but it's much more interesting - and stranger - than the marketing would have you believe. Also, Steve Buscemi is in it (as Michael Cera's father!). All of this and the latest Buscemi news, and all for FREE! You can't pass up that deal.
- [Episode 262 - We Do Our Own Stunts - Wheels on Meals (1984)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-262-we-do-our-own-stunts-wheels-on-meals-1984/) - Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan are headed to Barcelona, Spain in the 1984 action-comedy spectacular WHEELS ON MEALS, featuring Jackie and Yuen as food truck operators and Sammo as a hapless detective.

We dive into the background and even spend some time chatting about Jackie Chan VIDEO GAMES. Lots to discuss, so let's get to it!
- [Episode 261 - George Kennedy is My Copilot - Uninvited (1988)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-261-george-kennedy-is-my-copilot-uninvited-1988/) - On this long-awaited return of GEORGE KENNEDY IS MY CO-PILOT the gang are joining Alex Cord, Clu Gulager and - of course - George Kennedy on a beautiful sea voyage only partially spoiled by the presence of a genetically modified cat that spits up a weird gremlin thing that is killing everyone. Uh oh! There's murder, mystery, insanity-due-to-hunger, ankle-biting, finger munching and a bevy of horny teens because, heck, why not? All this and a look at George's time as a pitchman for Schaefer Beer! JOIN US!

It's been a fine few years, and what better way to round things out than with an all-timer exploitation classic starring Pam Grier and Margaret Markov as two women chained together and making their way through a peril-filled "South American" jungle. Add in a truly demented Sid Haig performance and you've got a recipe for (filthy) fun. And of course we have a tremendous Vic Diaz performance as the sleazy drug dealer Victor "Vic" Cheng! Let's end this thing with a bang!

It's fascinating stuff, with a controversial element that we'll get into during our spoiler section (don't worry, we'll warn you!). We also chat about the recent passing of David Lynch in the opening segment, so get ready and LISTEN!
- [Episode 258 - Further Reeding - The Brood (1979)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-258-further-reeding-the-brood-1979/) - CANADA! DIVORCE! Are there any two sweeter words in the English language? I can think of one: CRONENBERG! On this episode of FURTHER REEDING we're getting personal with the 1979 David Cronenberg-directed horror classic THE BROOD starring Art Hindle, Samantha Eggar and - of course - OLIVER REED! It's a film full of complexity, autobiographical elements, (possible) misogyny and killer mutant kids so you know it's right up our alley. Listen and hear some THOUGHTS!
- [Episode 257 - Wild in the Streets - The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist (1977)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-257-wild-in-the-streets-the-cynic-the-rat-and-the-fist-1977/) - On this episode of WILD IN THE STREETS, Maurizio Merli is (former) Inspector Leonardo Tanzi, a retired cop constantly disciplined for his unusual (brutal) methods, which in this case involves faking his own death so he can take down the psychopathic Luigi 'The Chinaman' Maietto (Tomas Milian) and master criminal Frank Di Maggio (John Saxon) in Umberto Lenzi's THE CYNIC, THE RAT AND THE FIST. Full of two-fisted action, and a "laser" wall you have to see to believe, there's plenty to like - and be confused by - here, but is it any good? We talk about the good, the bad and the ugly (and try to decide exactly which character is meant to be the cynic/rat/fist) and will let you know. Enjoy!
- [Episode 256 - How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? - Hotel Transylvania (2012)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-256-how-do-you-do-fellow-kids-hotel-transylvania-2012/) - What better time to watch a computer animated feature about monsters than.. uh.. January? Well, we're doing it anyway! On this episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? we're watching the Sandlerverse-adjacent animated comedy HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA and it's.. actually not too bad. Featuring the vocal talents of Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez, Andy Samberg, Kevin James, and - of course - Steve Buscemi, it's about a bunch of monsters in a hotel or something. I don't know. Just listen to the thing. Thanks!

With Elliott Gould, Howard Cosell, Bob Uecker, Bill Macy and CAROL KANE! It's plenty odd. Then we look at an episode of the 80s comedy crime series CRAZY LIKE A FOX /w Jack Warden and John Rubinstein, featuring Carol Kane guesting as a beleaguered secretary. Then it's time for the main event, the Penny Marshall directed comedy-thriller JUMPIN JACK FLASH starring Whoopi Goldberg and a slew of famous faces in supporting roles- including Carol Kane!

Then we finish off with the devastating Romanian drama R.M.N., about the xenophobic fallout when some Sri Lankan workers are hired at a Transylvanian bread company. It's a very special episode so why not send the kids to bed and listen?

We start with a rare oddity, the Paul Bartel-starring sex comedy(?) UTTERLY WITHOUT REDEEMING SOCIAL VALUE from 1969, also featuring Don Calfa and a guy who makes robotic art. FUN! Then we're finishing up with the totally bizarre, totally tasteless Police Academy.. uh.. spoof? from 1988 MORTUARY ACADEMY, which reunited Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov! How do we feel about it? It's complex! Listen!
- [Episode 251 - We Do Our Own Stunts - Project A (1983)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-251-we-do-our-own-stunts-project-a-1983/) - A seismic shift in Hong Kong filmmaking occurs on this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS with the release of the legendary action-comedy PROJECT A in 1983. Directed by (and - of course - starring) Jackie Chan, alongside his Peking Opera classmates Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, it's a raucous, often hilarious and stunt filled thrill ride packed with pirates, pratfalls and one infamous fall from a clock tower that has to be seen to be believed. It changed filmmaking forever and sent Jackie's already ascending star into the stratosphere. But does it hold up? Let's check it out!
- [Episode 250 - Eric Roberts is the Man - Runaway Train: or, The Story of My Life So Far (2024) (/w Will Sloan)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-250-eric-roberts-is-the-man-runaway-train-or-the-story-of-my-life-so-far-2024-w-will-sloan/) - It's episode 250(!!) of Cinema Smorgasbord, and what better way to celebrate than a brand new episode of ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN covering Eric Roberts' recently released autobiography Runaway Train: or, The Story of My Life So Far, as well as the slew of media Eric has been doing around it - including appearing on Dancing With the Stars!

First up are two episodes of the TV show CLUELESS, based on the popular 1995 film starring Alicia Silverstone. This 1996 series is a cut above the sitcoms of the time and brought along a surprising amount of the film's cast, and not only has Paul Bartel behind the camera.. but in front of it as well, playing a crusty old principal in one of the episodes! Then we talk about an interesting rarity; an episode of the British alternative comedy anthology series THE COMIC STRIP PRESENTS directed and co-written by Paul Bartel called DEMONELLA, starring a whole slew of familiar faces in the realm of UK comedy, including Adrian Edmonson, Jennifer Saunders, Robbie Coltrane and a beardless Paul Bartel playing Oscar Wilde!

Tony years for a relaxing life in Brazil but gets on the bad side of the mob, while Ric wants revenge for the murder of his father, which means they have to stay one step ahead of baddies as they play pool, have group sex and get themselves in deeper and deeper trouble. It's fun! All of this and a little introductory summary of our experience with Italian crime films over these last few years. Check it out!

Starring Jeff Goldblum and Ed Begley Jr. as two hapless tabloid reporters forced to go to Transylvania to work on a story about monster sightings, the film has supporting performances from Joseph Bologna, John Byner, Michael Richards, Jeffrey Jones (ugh), an extremely underutilized Geena Davis and - of course - Carol Kane! Directed by frequent Mel Brooks collaborator Rudy De Luca and bankrolled by the Dow chemical company (?) it's plenty weird. How weird? Let's find out!

On this episode, our chronological look at the career of the wonderful Carol Kane continues with 1979's LA SABINA, a José Luis Borau film that is only partially available in English.. but we watched it anyway! It's a drama filled with infidelity, regret, and a mysterious dragon lady that threatens to devour us all. FUN! But that's not all! We decided to BEEF things up by also watching OUR FATHER'S HOUSES, a filmed version of Eve Merriam's play adapted from actual letters by women in the 19th century. I know you're quaking with anticipation, so it's time to listen right... now!

Diaz's Satan has brought John Ashley's Joseph Langdon back to life to do his evil bidding, and also every so often he turns into a strange Wolfman-esque creature who lusts for blood. HUMAN BLOOD!

Of course, before the quake hits there's plenty of melodrama and complex relationships (script by Mario Puzo!), but once the earth starts to move things get properly apocalyptic. Our EARTHQUAKE talk is preceded by a short chat about a late-era episode of the television sitcom WINGS featuring George playing a put-upon version of himself! ENJOY!
- [Episode 240 - Further Reeding - Women in Love (1969)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-240-further-reeding-women-in-love-1969/) - You can't have an Oliver Reed-themed podcast without eventually dipping into the works of the legendary Ken Russell, and we stick our toes in for the first time with his 1969 melodramatic adaptation of D. H. Lawrence’s beloved - and controversial - 1920 novel, Women in Love. Starring Reed alongside Alan Bates, Glenda Jackson and Jennie Linden, the film examines love, sex and death in all manner of permutations, and manages to fit in some notorious nude man-on-man grappling just for fun. We go deep on the film's explicit queerness, the difficulty of working with temperamental actors (and directors) and so much more. ENJOY!

Starring Aaron Pierre as a marine facing off against the corrupt law enforcement of a small Louisiana town, it's not quite the FIRST BLOOD-riff that the initial trailers suggested, but its mix of crooked cops, a righteous cause, racial politics and a dynamite performance in the lead creates something very special. On this episode of CINEMA SMORGASBORD SELLS OUT we restrain ourselves from delving into spoilers while discussing the film, responding to some of the critiques we've heard since its release, and so much more. Check it out!
- [Episode 238 - Wild in the Streets - The Suspicious Death of a Minor (1975)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-238-wild-in-the-streets-the-suspicious-death-of-a-minor-1975/) - Claudio Cassinelli plays a man on the edge in Sergio Martino's unique eurocrime oddity THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A MINOR which mixes comedic elements, the elaborate (and stylish) murder sequences from the popular giallo films of the time - including a knock-off Goblin-style score almost as good as the real thing - and the usual Poliziotteschi trappings of the era to create something a bit scattershot, but totally unique. Filled with odd flourishes and bizarre choices, it's equally confusing and enthralling - just like our hosts! Check it out!
- [Episode 237 - You Don't Know Dick - The Wild Angels (1966) (/w The New World Pictures Podcast)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-237-you-dont-know-dick-the-wild-angels-1966-w-the-new-world-pictures-podcast/) - On our first episode of YOU DON'T KNOW DICK since Roger Corman's passing at the age of 98 we've brought in those ringers from The New World Pictures Podcast to help us discuss Corman's lasting legacy, their favorite Roger Corman-directed films, biker gangs and biker movies, and - specifically - 1966's THE WILD ANGELS featuring Peter Fonda, Nancy Sinatra, Bruce Dern, Diane Ladd and - OF COURSE- the legendary Dick Miller. Check it out, you squares!

(the world's finest podcast devoted to "the Filipino Peter Lorre" Vic Diaz) we're checking out the oddball 1971 (though filmed in 1965) B&W sorta-spy horror film BLOOD THIRST featuring a wise-cracking cop in a foreign land, a monster that looks like a diseased testicle, many legitimate - and accidental - red herrings and, of course, the legendary Vic Diaz playing a rare good guy. It's pretty entertaining with some nice photography, and also consistently strange for its brief 75-minute run time. We also chat about diseases, FLETCH, and SO MUCH MORE! Check it out!

We (being the hosts of Praising Kane, the world's most beloved Carol Kane-themed podcast) do! On this episode we're doing a FULL CORT PRESS with not one but TWO Kane/Cort pairings (and some bonus Bud in the news section). We start with a spooky episode of 80s anthology favorite Tales From the Darkside putting Cort against Kane in a light-hearted magic battle. Then we move onto the startlingly unfunny 1984 comedy THE SECRET DIARY OF SIGMUND FREUD featuring Cort as Freud, Kane as his (eventual) wife and some of the most disturbing IMDB trivia involving Klaus Kinski you're likely to ever hear! Can you resist listening after all that? NOPE!
- [Episode 233 - How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? - The Listener (2022)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-233-how-do-you-do-fellow-kids-the-listener-2022/) - An episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? without Steve Buscemi?! Well, not quite! Though Buscemi doesn't appear in 2022's THE LISTENER, which concerns a help line worker (played by Tessa Thompson) dealing with the trials and tribulations of (unseen) callers in the time immediately following Covid lockdown, it's directed by the man himself! It's a unique film, and we go through its strengths and weaknesses and if it feels tied to a very specific period in history. We also discuss all the latest Buscemi news, including TRANSFORMERS ONE! Check it out!
- [Episode 232 - We Do Our Own Stunts - Fearless Hyena 2 (1983)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-232-we-do-our-own-stunts-fearless-hyena-ii-1983/) - One stage of Jackie Chan's career comes to an awkward conclusion in FEARLESS HYENA 2, with producer Lo Wei taking old footage (from the first Fearless Hyena, along with some bits from Spiritual Kung Fu) along with some a few new scenes filmed before Jackie's controversial move to Golden Harvest to create something predictably incoherent. Filled with actors doubling Jackie (in disguise), pieces that don't quite fit together, and the introduction of Austin Wai as Tung, a mechanical genius with an automatic house, it makes for a bizarre and often baffling viewing experience without ever becoming entirely unwatchable. Have a listen and see if you agree!
- [Episode 231 - Wild in the Streets - Rabid Dogs (aka Kidnapped) (1974)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-231-wild-in-the-streets-rabid-dogs-aka-kidnapped-1974/) - In 1974 Mario Bava was struggling after a series of financial failures and decided to turn towards a genre completely new to him: Poliziotteschi! Adapting a crime story by Michael J. Carroll, he was almost finished filming when the producer filed for bankruptcy, leaving the film to sit on a shelf for twenty years (well after Bava's death in 1980). On this episode of WILD IN THE STREETS we take a look at the revived film RABID DOGS, which exists in FIVE different versions - most notably an unfinished workprint version and a re-edited version with new sequences filmed by Lamberto Bava retitled KIDNAPPED! Was it worth the wait, or should these dogs be put down? LISTEN AND FIND OUT!

Despite a plot structure that (loosely) copies The Dirty Dozen, FANTASY MISSION FORCE throws in amazons, Nazis, vampires, ghosts, Brigitte Lin, musical numbers, Mad Max-style cars and lots and lots of explosions. There's even a few kung fu fights for good measure, It's far from boring, but is it any good? Let's find out!
- [Episode 221 - George Kennedy is My Copilot - Demonwarp (1988) (/w Anders Landby)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-221-george-kennedy-is-my-copilot-demonwarp-1988-w-anders-landby/) - On this very special episode of GEORGE KENNEDY IS MY COPILOT we're joined by the Swedish writer and George Kennedy-enthusiast Anders Landby to discuss his work covering the career of George Kennedy, his Instagram page devoted to George Kennedy, and the proper way to pronounce "Smorgasbord"!

Born out of a stage-play by stars O-Lan Jones, Andrea Stein, and Jim Turner, Bartel turns it into a wildly visual phantasmagoria of rituals, re-enactments and hormonally confusing games, with a typically wicked sense of humor. Check it out!
- [Episode 218 - You Don't Know Dick - The Student Teachers (1973) (/w Scott Drebit)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-218-you-dont-know-dick-the-student-teachers-1973-w-scott-drebit/) - On a brand new episode of YOU DON'T KNOW DICK (the world's finest Dick Miller-themed podcast) we're joined by A CUT BELOW: A CELEBRATION OF B HORROR MOVIES, 1950s-1980s author Scott Drebit to discuss the sexploitation comedy/thriller THE STUDENT TEACHERS from 1973, with Susan Damante, Brooke Mills, CHUCK NORRIS(?) and Dick Miller!!

Featuring Gastone Moschin as Ugo Piazza, a small time gangster fresh out of jail being hunted down by his former associates for stealing $300,000 that he swears he doesn't have, it's tough as nails and features a memorable jazz-flute tinged score by Luis Enríquez Bacalov and the Italian progressive rock group Osanna. It also features the great Mario Adorf in a gloriously unhinged performance as Rocco. CHECK IT OUT!

The result was plenty of bumps, bruises and 1982's DRAGON LORD, which serves as a transitionary period between the old-school kung fu films of his past and the stunt-heavy films (with higher production value) that would define his work in the 1980s. In this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS we break down the good and bad of DRAGON LORD, its two cuts, and the two bravura sequences within. LISTEN!

Since we started in 2020 we've created over a dozen sub-podcasts devoted to such diverse topics as the careers of Paul Bartel (Bartel Me Something Good), Dick Miller (You Don't Know Dick), Steve Buscemi (How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?), Jackie Chan (We Do Our Own Stunts), Oliver Reed (Further Reeding), George Kennedy (George Kennedy is my Co-Pilot) and many more, and we can't thank you enough for joining us on this wonderfully strange trip. On this episode we decided to do something a little different, starting with a lighthearted chat about our thoughts on the podcast as a whole over these last few years, before discussions on two of our favorite, formative films from the 1980s; starting with Martha Coolidge's brainy comedy REAL GENIUS (picked by Doug) and ending with the Tim Burton-directed delight PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE (picked by Liam).

An episode of Praising Kane where one host NEVER FOUND HER in the film! Admittedly, tracking down Carol Kane in CAN SHE BAKE A CHERRY PIE? is a bit of a feat, especially when she's competing with the talents of Karen Black and Michael Emil at the core of Henry Jaglom's odd 1983 romantic comedy. Somehow she's in it less than both Larry David (who has a memorable scene) and ORSON WELLES, who appears on a television screen in some old footage. What did our hosts make of the film? I GUESS YOU'LL HAVE TO LISTEN AND FIND OUT. Bonus: All the latest Carol Kane news!

Now he's talking them STRAIGHT TO HELL! On this episode of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VIC DIAZ we're getting properly post-apocalyptic with Cirio H. Santiago's Mad Max-"inspired", giant gun classic EQUALIZER 2000 starring Richard Norton (/w frosted tips), Corinne Wahl and a VERY young Robert Patrick in only his second ever role! There's lots of gunfire, explosions and - blissfully - almost no plot to be concerned with, and it delivers the promise of a very big gun that mows down tons of faceless bad guys. HOORAY. We also chat a bit about the long tradition of post-apocalyptic films and some of our favs, and - of course - we dive into an appearance by the legendary Vic Diaz. CHECK IT OUT!

We investigate what all of this could mean, while digging deep on all the latest Jodorowsky news. CHECK IT OUT!

With a bonkers all-star cast (including Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, Chloë Sevigny, Selena Gomez, Austin Butler, Iggy Pop, Carol Kane, RZA, Danny Glover.. and STEVE BUSCEMI) the film was received with confusion upon release but has a amassed a rapidly growing following.

As per usual, we're BREAKING FORMAT and taking a look at two recently-released horror films, starting with Liam's choice of the dialogue-free sci-fi horror of Brian Duffield's NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU, followed by the creepy mystery of Samuel Bodin's intensely Halloween-themed COBWEB (starring Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr). As is part of our yearly Halloween celebration we chat a bit about some other recent horror films we've watched as well.. just like the popular podcasts do! ENJOY THE SCARES!
- [Episode 191 - Bartel Me Something Good - The Longshot (1986)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-191-bartel-me-something-good-the-longshot-1986/) - On this episode of BARTEL ME SOMETHING GOOD we're off to the races with the Tim Conway-penned and Mike Nichols-produced gambling comedy THE LONGSHOT, starring Conway, Harvey Korman, Jack Weston and Ted Waas! A passion project for Tim Conway (and a work-for-hire gig for Paul Bartel) it's.. a bit of an odd duck, but it DOES have a theme song rapped by Conway AND Ice-T! Enjoy!
- [Episode 190 - Further Reeding - Castaway (1986)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-190-further-reeding-castaway-1986/) - On this episode of FURTHER REEDING, Oliver Reed and Amanda Donohoe have only gone and got themselves stranded on a desert island and have to survive, but - GET THIS - they did it on purpose in Nicolas Roeg's CASTAWAY from 1986. Based on a bizarre true story, it involves a whole lot of nudity and Oliver Reed acting like a maniac so you know we had to talk about it. Sadly, it's a bit hard to track down (unless you write the title and year of release into YouTube), so you'll just have to listen to us describe it and try to use your imagination to picture all the nudity. ENJOY!
- [Episode 189 - George Kennedy is My Copilot - Tick, Tick, Tick (1970)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-189-george-kennedy-is-my-copilot-tick-tick-tick-1970/) - On this episode of GEORGE KENNEDY IS MY CO-PILOT our merry trio is diving into the fiery drama TICK, TICK, TICK from 1970 starring Jim Brown, Fredric March, Clifton James and - of course - George Kennedy! Brown stars as the newly elected Sheriff of a very, very racist southern county, while Kennedy is the now ex-Sheriff who is semi-committed to keeping him alive. Spoiler: it's not easy! Before that we discuss another George Kennedy commercial (for California-based tech company TOTLCOM), and try our darndest to make it interesting (did we succeed? listen and find out!)
- [Episode 188 - Praising Kane - An Invasion of Privacy (1983)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-188-praising-kane-an-invasion-of-privacy-1983/) - On this jam-packed episode of Praising Kane, our chronological look at the career of Carol Kane continues, starting with brief discussions about a mid-70s Dr. Pepper commercial, as well an early 80s adaptation of Irwin Shaw's The Girls in Their Summer Dresses featuring both Carol Kane and Jeff Bridges! After the break we turn our attention to the surprisingly star-studded drama AN INVASION OF PRIVACY from 1983 featuring Valerie Harper, Richard Masur, Jerry Orbach, Jeff Daniels, Sarah Michelle Gellar (in her screen debut) and - of course - Carol Kane! Some darker subject matter, but a unique episode. Check it out!

Starring Buscemi-verse regulars like Seymour Cassel, Mark Boone Junior, and Rockets Redglare, you also get memorable supporting performances from Danny Trejo, Mickey Rourke, Tom Arnold(!) and.. wait for it. Steve Buscemi! Listen to us talking to it, ya sick twist!
- [Episode 186 - Wild in the Streets - Syndicate Sadists (1975)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-186-wild-in-the-streets-syndicate-sadists-1975/) - On this episode of WILD IN THE STREETS, Tomas Milian is RAMBO in Umberto Lenzi's spaghetti-western influenced SYNDICATE SADISTS from 1975! After Rambo's friend is brutally murdered, he takes it upon himself to go up against two criminal gangs (one led by Joseph Cotton's Paternò), while also rescuing a young boy who has been kidnapped. Does he manage to embarrass them all while everyone gazes on him in total awe? Yep! Check it out!
- [Episode 185 - You Don't Know Dick - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine "Past Tense" (/w Adrianna Gober)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-185-you-dont-know-dick-star-trek-deep-space-nine-past-tense-w-adrianna-gober/) - On this episode of YOU DON'T KNOW DICK we're boldly going where no podcast has gone before with Dick Miller in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine two-parter 'Past Tense'. Wildly considered one of the best (and most prescient) episodes of the series, it looks at the state of cities in the far off future of 2024 and how struggling people are carted off to walled off 'sanctuaries', and one of the people guarding these sanctuaries is none other than Dick Miller. Joining us on this trek across the stars is our Bartel Me Something Good podcast co-host (and Trekkie) Adrianna Gober, who makes the case of DS9 being the best of all Star Treks, and is utterly baffled by the choice to watch a Rod Stewart music video (also featuring Dick Miller). A good time was had by all. CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 184 - We Do Our Own Stunts - The Big Brawl (1980)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-184-we-do-our-own-stunts-the-big-brawl-1980/) - Jackie Chan in AMERICA! On this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS Jackie makes his first American excursion to star in the Robert Clouse directed comedy-action vehicle THE BIG BRAWL (aka BATTLE CREEK BRAWL). Despite Jackie knowing very little English (and having to promote the film on American television) and working a very different style than he was used to, the film is actually a ton of fun - as long as you don't go in expecting the acrobatic fighting from his recent Hong Kong films. We also chat about the recent RIDE ON controversy, Jackie's appearances in HIDDEN STRIKE and TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: MUTANT MAYHEM, and SO MUCH MORE. Check it out!
- [Episode 182 - How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? - I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-182-how-do-you-do-fellow-kids-i-now-pronounce-you-chuck-larry-2007/) - We tried. We tried our best to find some small piece of enjoyment in Dennis Dugan's bafflingly misguided I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK & LARRY, a film about two straight firefighters (played by Adam Sandler & Kevin James) who decide to get married in order to deal with some uncomfortable pension-related paperwork. Overstuffed with pitiful racist, sexist and homophobic stereotypes, it's - even worse - completely unfunny, and has a horribly confused message at its core. Yeesh. Anyway, we get angry about that, but there's also plenty of chat about the ongoing writer/actor strike, and - of course - all the latest Steve Buscemi news. CHECK IT OUT, JERKS.
- [Episode 181 - Bartel Me Something Good - Lust in the Dust (1984)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-181-bartel-me-something-good-lust-in-the-dust-1984/) - Yee-haw! We're going back to the wild west on this episode of Bartel Me Something good with Paul Bartel's 1984 comedy western LUST IN THE DUST starring Tab Hunter, Lainie Kazan and the legendary Divine! Originally envisioned as a John Waters project, Bartel ruffled against making a Waters-style film and instead brings his own wild and unpredictable sensibility (while still not skimping on the bad taste). It has musical numbers, butt tattoos, Cesar Romero, death via oral sex and so much more. Check it out, jerks!
- [Episode 179 - Further Reeding - The Three Musketeers (1973)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-179-further-reeding-the-three-musketeers-1973/) - On this swashbuckling episode of FURTHER REEDING we're diving into Richard Lester's incredibly entertaining 1973 action comedy THE THREE MUSKETEERS, starring Michael York, Frank Finlay, Richard Chamberlain, Raquel Welch, Christopher Lee, Charlton Heston and - of course - Oliver Reed as Athos. Playing a character who is a heavy drinker and fighter might not have been a stretch for Reed, but he still got up to plenty of trouble on-set and we go through some of the more memorable stories and incidents that occurred during filming. We also chat about sword-fighting, blunderbusses, the origins of the term "musketeer" and so much more. CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 178 - JodoWOWsky Part 12 - Moon Face (1992), Angel Claws (1994), Son of the Gun (1995)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-178-jodowowsky-part-12-moon-face-1992-angel-claws-1994-son-of-the-gun-1995/) - JodoWOWsky returns with a trifecta of Alejandro Jodorowsky-penned comic work from the 1990s, starting with the fantastical (and very odd) MOON FACE from 1992 (illustrated by François Boucq), then moving into the playfully erotic Angel Claws from 1994 (with explicit illustrations by Jean "Moebius" Giraud), and finishing with the western-tinged action-filled redemption tale Son of the Gun from 1995 (illustrated by Georges Bess). We also check out all the latest Alejandro Jodorowsky news, as well as the recent music video by Adanowsky (with Beck) for the song "Chain Reaction", directed by Michel Gondry. Check it out!
- [Episode 177 - George Kennedy is my Copilot - Wacko (1982)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-177-george-kennedy-is-my-copilot-wacko-1982/) - We're getting silly on a brand new episode of George Kennedy is my Copilot with Greydon Clark's Airplane-inspired horror spoof WACKO from 1982 featuring Joe Don Baker, Stella Stevens, Julia Duffy, Andrew "not yet Dice" Clay and - of course - George Kennedy as the kinda creepy Mr. Doctor Graves! It's full of sight gags, puns, Hitchcock references and not a heck of a lot else. We also fit in a discussion on the Clint Black video for "Summer's Comin'" which features a lovely George Kennedy cameo (amongst a slew of other celebs). CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 175 - Wild in the Streets - The Italian Connection (1972)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-175-wild-in-the-streets-the-italian-connection-1972/) - We're getting WILD IN THE STREETS with Henry Silva and Woody Strode in Fernando Di Leo's THE ITALIAN CONNECTION from 1972! Starring Mario Adorf as a Milanese pimp wanted by the mob for a crime he didn't commit, it takes its time getting going, but eventually turns into a story of violent revenge, including one of the finest chase sequences you're likely to ever see! We discuss some of our other favorite chase scenes, Liam's crime connections and SO MUCH MORE. Check it out!
- [Episode 174 - Whatever Happened to Vic Diaz? - Raw Force (1981)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-174-whatever-happened-to-vic-diaz-raw-force-1981/) - On this high kicking episode of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VIC DIAZ? we're setting off with a nudity-filled sexploitation comedy mixed with a martial arts action film featuring a dash of the living dead, cannibalism, Nazis, explosions and a heck of a lot more with the wild 1981 mashup RAW FORCE from director Edward D. Murphy! Starring Cameron Mitchell, Geoffrey Binney, Hope Holiday, FIRECRACKER's Jillian Kesner and - of course - Vic Diaz, this one is goofy as hell, and occasionally lives up to its extra lurid poster art. We also discuss cult film revivals, what it means for a film to be "trash", the definition of exploitation and all sorts of other heady topics. CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 173 - How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? - Reservoir Dogs (1992)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-173-how-do-you-do-fellow-kids-reservoir-dogs-1992/) - We've waited a long time to get into it, but on this episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? we're finally checking out Quentin Tarantino's breakthrough 1992 crime drama RESERVOIR DOGS, starring Harvey Keitel, Michael, Madsen, Tim Roth, Chris Penn, and - of course - Steve Buscemi as Mr. Pink. We discuss its triumphs and controversies, as well as how our feelings on the film - and Tarantino - have changed over the past thirty years. We also discuss Pete Davidson's new sitcom Bupkis, the live action Little Mermaid and SO MUCH MORE. Check it out!
- [Episode 172 - Praising Kane - Norman Loves Rose (1982)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-172-praising-kane-norman-loves-rose-1982/) - On a very uncomfortable new episode of PRAISING KANE - the world's finest chronological Carol Kane podcast - we look at the incredibly bad taste Australian comedy NORMAN LOVES ROSE from 1982, featuring a young boy's fascination with his sister-in-law evolving into a sexual relationship that ends up with her pregnant. Yeah, it's bad. We also chat about all the latest Carol Kane news (Star Trek! Taxi!) and question our life choices. CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 171 - We Do Our Own Stunts - The Young Master (1980)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-171-we-do-our-own-stunts-the-young-master-1980/) - On a landmark episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS, Jackie Chan has signed a huge contract with Golden Harvest which promises creative and financial freedom, and he kicks things off with the 1980 kung-fu comedy THE YOUNG MASTER! While at the same time his old boss Lo Wei wants his now-bankable star back and is willing to work with Triads to make it happen. UH OH! It's a perilous time in Jackie's career and will soon push him off to America for a while, but in the meantime we can enjoy this enormously entertaining, fight-filled film which features Yuen Biao, Tuen Fend, Hwang In-Shik, and Shih Kien! CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 169 - You Don't Know Dick - Chopping Mall (1986) (/w Christine Makepeace)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-169-you-dont-know-dick-chopping-mall-1986-w-christine-makepeace/) - On this episode of YOU DON'T KNOW DICK (the world's finest Dick Miller-related podcast) we're joined by writer/editor Christine Makepeace to discuss John Mellencamp's cover of Van Morrison's "Wild Night" (/w Me'Shell Ndegeocello), music videos, mallrats, late stage capitalism and Jim Wynorski's CHOPPING MALL from 1986 featuring Kelli Maroney, Barbara Crampton, Paul Bartel, Mary Woronov, and - of course - Dick Miller! Robots go berserk, paint stores explode, in-jokes abound and a good time is had by all. Join us, won't you?
- [Episode 156 - How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? - Barton Fink (1991)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-156-how-do-you-do-fellow-kids-barton-fink-1991/) - I'M A WRITER, YOU MONSTERS! On this episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? we're getting down with The Coen Brothers' Cannes-dominating pitch-black comedy BARTON FINK from 1991. Starring John Turturro as a Hollywood neophyte struggling with writer's block (and everything else), it's filled with dynamite supporting performances and feels a bit more personal than the Coen's work up to that time, while also being filled with wild, surreal touches. All that, and Steve Buscemi is there as well. Listen to what we think, buster. And that's an order.
- [Episode 157 - Bartel Me Something Good - Eating Raoul (1982)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-157-bartel-me-something-good-eating-raoul-1982/) - On this episode of Bartel Me Something Good we've reached Paul Bartel's Criterion Collected classic EATING RAOUL featuring Mary Woronov, Robert Beltran and Paul Bartel himself as Paul Bland. A darkly comedic social satire (/w cannibalism), it remains a gem in the Bartel filmography, and we're delighted to be joined by EATING RAOUL's editor Alan Toomayan to discuss his work on Bartel's films, including LUST IN THE DUST and SCENES FROM THE CLASS STRUGGLE IN BEVERLY HILLS. Alan also regales us with stories of his early work with New World Pictures, the guerilla filmmaking that went into Eating Raoul's production, and his transition to becoming an editor of film trailers and featurettes. CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 158 - We Do Our Own Stunts - Dragon Fist (1979)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-158-we-do-our-own-stunts-dragon-fist-1979/) - After a lengthy, contentious working relationship, Jackie Chan's time with Lo Wei finally comes to an end (sort of!) with 1979's DRAGON FIST, a film that had been sitting on the shelf since well before Jackie's SNAKE IN THE EAGLE'S SHADOW kung-fu breakthrough. The film features a very stoic Jackie attempting to get revenge for his master's death, which all sounds awfully standard, but the plot gets a lot more twisty as it goes, including Jackie reluctantly working for a group of bad guys before going BER-ZERK in the final ten minutes. We also chat about some of Jackie's complications with trying to get out of his contract, and his upcoming excursion to America. CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 162 - Cinema Fantastica - Big Bad Wolves (2013) & Almost Human (2013)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-162-cinema-fantastica-big-bad-wolves-2013-almost-human-2013/) - On this episode of CINEMA FANTASTICA were traveling to the 2014 edition of the Panic Film Festival in Kansas City, Missouri!

First up is the darkly comedic Israeli thriller BIG BAD WOLVES, and then we go deep on Joe Begos' directorial debut, the John Carpenter-influenced sci-fi horror ALMOST HUMAN. WHO REIGNS SUPREME? Listen and find out!
- [Episode 163 - Wild in the Streets - Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man (1976)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-163-wild-in-the-streets-live-like-a-cop-die-like-a-man-1976/) - On this episode of WILD IN THE STREETS we're going long with the late Ruggero Deodato's one and only eurocrime film, the absolutely bizarre buddy-cop action classic LIVE LIKE A COP, DIE LIKE A MAN. Featuring plenty of homoeroticism, quarry target practice, straight up murder and EXPLOSIONS, it takes the template set by earlier European action films and goes completely overboard, with two lead characters who flaunt conventions (and legality) while mowing down anyone who gets in their way - sometimes before they even commit a crime. CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 166 - Further Reeding - The Assassination Bureau (1969)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-166-further-reeding-the-assassination-bureau-1969/) - On this premiere episode of the world's greatest Oliver Reed-themed podcast FURTHER REEDING, host Leslie Hatton helps Liam and Doug break down their individual Oliver Reed fandoms, ponders a world with Oliver Reed as James Bond and goes deep on the campy 1969 action film THE ASSASSINATION BUREAU /w Diana Rigg, Telly Savalas, and - of course - Oliver Reed. Join us on a new adventure following the career of the notorious hellraiser through the highs (and lows) of his illustrious career!

Allen plays Lois Thornedyke, a tabloid reporter aiming to go clean, while simultaneously working for the mayor of New York (Luckinbill) who is - wait for it - trying to get rid of "porno papers", like the one she's working at! Naughton plays a hapless bird photographer she hires to help with both jobs. There's animal-themed musical numbers, (attempted) murder, and.. not much more. We also discuss a clip of Sandra Bernhard interviewing Paul Bartel on Reel Wild Cinema. CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 79 - You Don't Know Dick - The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) (/w Scott Weinberg)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-79-you-dont-know-dick-the-little-shop-of-horrors-1960/) - On YOU DON'T KNOW DICK we look at the films and TV work of the beloved character actor Dick Miller! On this episode we're joined by writer, producer and podcaster Scott Weinberg to discuss the legendary Roger Corman cheapie horror-comedy THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS! We look at the history of the legendarily threadbare production, the various remakes and tributes (including the celebrated musical!), and - of course - the flower-chomping performance by Dick Miller! CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 8 - How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? - Film House Fever (1986)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-8-how-do-you-do-fellow-kids-film-house-fever-1986/) - RSS: http://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/feed/podcast/ iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/cinema-smorgasbord/id1495606055 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/36GyQpY4P9HS87wmCKkGKY?si=wfj0g2auRlagZW2Aqx8ZJQ Come follow us on Twitter or Facebook!

FRANKENSTEIN,

Similar in structure to Full Metal Jacker (and featuring R. Lee Ermey in a very similar role), it's a sometimes odd, sometimes hard-hitting look at a controversial war that also includes a whole lot of soccer for some reason. It's pretty good, and very different than the usual fair we cover on this podcast. CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 147 - We Do Our Own Stunts - The Fearless Hyena (1979)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-147-we-do-our-own-stunts-the-fearless-hyena-1979/) - On this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS Jackie Chan's relationship with Lo Wei comes to an end.. sort of.. with Jackie's directorial debut THE FEARLESS HYENA! Filled with fights (choreographed by Jackie), and featuring perhaps his best performance of the era, it's a film that owes a lot to his recent successes (with SNAKE IN THE EAGLE'S SHADOW and DRUNKEN MASTER) but also shows his growing confidence and range as a martial artist and creative force. We trace the film's history, how it affected Jackie's relationship with Lo Wei, and go through what we'll be covering in the first few months of 2023. CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 143 - Praising Kane - Taxi (Season 2, Episode 17) & The Greatest Man in the World (1981)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-143-praising-kane-taxi-season-2-episode-17-the-greatest-man-in-the-world-1981/) - We're DOUBLING UP on this episode of Praising Kane, which features a discussion on Carol Kane's first episode of Taxi (and some very controversial statements from Liam on 80s sitcoms), but also Ralph Rosenblum's 1981 TV adaptation of James Thurber's satirical short story THE GREATEST MAN IN THE WORLD, featuring an introduction by Henry Fonda! Not only that, but we also fit in a discussion on the recent announcement of Carol Kane joining the cast of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS! It's almost TOO MUCH, yet here it is. Enjoy.
- [Episode 141 - Whatever Happened to Vic Diaz? - Spyder (1988)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-141-whatever-happened-to-vic-diaz-spyder-1988/) - On this episode of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VIC DIAZ? we're discussing the obscure - and unreleased in the USA - action film SPYDER from 1988 starring kickboxing champion Blake Bahner as BRAD SPYDER, a cop on the edge who travels to Hawaii to find out what happened to his beloved (and very dead) partner. If that sounds at all familiar, it's because Roger Corman bought the rights to the film and had it re-edited and released as BLACKBELT II! It's an action-packed (and very short) COBRA rip-off. LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.

Adapted from a French graphic novel, the film deals with the political maneuverings that kick into gear following the sudden death of Joseph Stalin in 1953. Featuring an all-star cast, including Simon Russell Beale, Michael Palin, Jeffrey Tambor, Jason Isaacs and, of course, Steve Buscemi as Nikita Khrushchev. CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 68 - Forgotten Gems? - Central Station (1998)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-68-forgotten-gems-central-station-1998/) - After that last episode of FORGOTTEN GEMS? we were feeling a little down, so to pick up our spirits we decided to watch a film that is only PARTIALLY miserable: the Golden Bear winning Brazilian-French film CENTRAL STATION from 1998. Featuring death, despair, and - rather improbably - hope, it includes an incredible (and Academy Award nominated) performance from Fernanda Montenegro. BUT IS IT ANY GOOD? Let's find out!
- [Episode 65 - The Films of John Singleton - Shaft (2000)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-65-the-films-of-john-singleton-shaft-2000/) - On the final episode of THE FILMS OF JOHN SINGLETON we're looking at his sequel/reimagining of SHAFT starring Samuel L. Jackson, Jeffrey Wright, Christian Bale, Toni Collette and a returning Richard Roundtree as (Uncle) Shaft! After that we take a look at the career of John Singleton as a whole, and rank his nine film filmography. Check it out!
- [Episode 64 - Wild In The Streets - Bandits in Milan (1968) & Bandits in Rome (1968)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-64-wild-in-the-streets-bandits-in-milan-1968-bandits-in-rome-1968/) - On the PREMIERE episode of WILD IN THE STREETS: A EUROCRIME PODCAST we're looking at the two films which kick off Roberto Curti's essential book Italian Crime Filmography, 1968-1980: 1968's Bandits in Milan, as well as 1968's Bandits In Rome! The first film takes a documentary approach to a real-life incident that took place in Milan, Italy in 1967 while the second film starts John Cassavetes as a bandit with a heart of gold who is locked away while his partner goes on a violent rampage. What did we think? Listen and find out!
- [Episode 63 - How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? - Mystery Train (1989)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-63-how-do-you-do-fellow-kids-mystery-train-1989/) - On this episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? we're looking at Jim Jarmusch's 1989 triptych film MYSTERY TRAIN from 1989, featuring Masatoshi Nagase, Youki Kudoh, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Nicoletta Braschi, Elizabeth Bracco, Rick Aviles, Joe Strummer and Steve Buscemi as Charlie the Barber. The film features three stories that examine the relationship between foreigners and the city of Memphis, Tennessee, as well Elvis - whose presence hangs heavily over the entire film. Let's talk about it!
- [Episode 59 - We Do Our Own Stunts - The Killer Meteors (1976)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-59-we-do-our-own-stunts-the-killer-meteors-1976/) - On this episode of We Do Our Own Stunts we're continuing our look at the early career of Jackie Chan with the Jimmy Wang Yu-starring THE KILLER METEORS, which features the first collaboration between Jackie and Wang Yu (though their fates would entwine a few years later) as well as Jackie playing a VILLAIN! It's a bizarre, and sometimes incomprehensible, high-flying martial arts epic, but it's still a lot of fun. Let's check it out!
- [Episode 58 - Cinema Fantastica - Cold Fish (2010) & Golden Slumber (2010)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-58-cinema-fantastica-cold-fish-2010-golden-slumber-2010/) - We're taking another journey through time and space to the film festivals around the globe on another episode of Cinema Fantastica! This time we're headed to the controversial Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas to check out two Japanese films that played in the 2010 iteration: Sion Sono's COLD FISH and Yoshihiro Nakamura's GOLDEN SLUMBER! Check it out!
- [Episode 56 - The Films of John Singleton - Rosewood (1997) & Baby Boy (2001)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-56-the-films-of-john-singleton-rosewood-1997-baby-boy-2001/) - Our look at the filmography of the great John Singleton continues with two of his mid-period films, starting with the often-brutal historical drama ROSEWOOD from 1997, followed by the coming-of-age comedy-drama BABY BOY from 2001. Also, Liam we had already recorded this and Liam deleted it. HEAR THE WEARINESS IN OUR VOICES. Enjoy!
- [Episode 53 - Praising Kane - Harry and Walter Go To New York (1976)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-53-praising-kane-harry-and-walter-go-to-new-york-1976/) - We continue our chronological look at the career of Carol Kane with the notorious 1976 flop HARRY AND WALTER GO TO NEW YORK! Despite a packed cast that includes Elliott Gould, James Caan, Diane Keaton and Michael Caine the film was a box office and critical bust. But does the vaudeville-tinged safecracking caper have anything to recommend it? Let's find out!
- [Episode 51 - We Do Our Own Stunts - The Hand of Death (1976)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-51-we-do-our-own-stunts-the-hand-of-death-1976/) - On this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS we're taking a step back from Lo Wei's attempts to launch Jackie Chan into superstardom and instead looking at the film that caught his attention in the first place: John Woo's THE HAND OF DEATH! Not only does the film bring Jackie Chan together with the legendary director of THE KILLER and HARD BOILED, but it also features fellow Seven Little Fortunes alumni Sammo Hung (who was also the stunt co-ordinator), Yuen Baio and Yuen Wah! Check it out!
- [Episode 48 - Cinema Fantastica Holiday Special - A Christmas Horror Story (2015) & Good Tidings (2016)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-48-cinema-fantastica-holiday-special-a-christmas-horror-story-2015-good-tidings-2016/) - On this special HOLIDAY edition of Cinema Fantastica we go all the way to Berlin, Germany and the 2016 Weihnachtsfilmfestival, which features a program of Christmas (and Christmas adjacent) films! Our two hosts put the Canadian anthology horror film A CHRISTMAS HORROR STORY against the British killer Santa gorefest GOOD TIDINGS! CHECK IT OUT!
- [Episode 43 - We Do Our Own Stunts - Shaolin Wooden Men (1976)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-43-we-do-our-own-stunts-shaolin-wooden-men-1976/) - Following the failure of NEW FIST OF FURY to launch the career of Jackie Chan, producer Lo Wei took another swing with the Chen Chi-Hwa-directed SHAOLIN WOODEN MEN from 1976. Featuring a story of revenge and intrigue, as well as the titular hallway of chain-operated wooden men, the film - thankfully - strays away from trying to recreate Bruce Lee's persona and we get something closer to the Jackie Chan roles that would launch him to stardom. Closer... but not quite there. Check it out!
- [Episode 42 - Forgotten Gems? - Heat and Sunlight (1987)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-42-forgotten-gems-heat-and-sunlight-1987/) - On this episode of FORGOTTEN GEMS? we're looking at 1988 Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner HEAT AND SUNLIGHT from director/actor Rob Nilsson! It's a completely improvised drama about a former war photographer who now finds himself tangling with complicated feelings about his current relationship and BOY does it swing widely between visually and formally inventive and absolutely tedious. Also, there's FRUITICIDE. Let's check it out!
- [Episode 40 - Whatever Happened To Vic Diaz? - Vampire Hookers (1978)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-40-whatever-happened-to-vic-diaz-vampire-hookers-1978/) - We're still wondering WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VIC DIAZ? and on this episode we're staying spooky.. kinda with 1978's VAMPIRE HOOKERS! Starring John Carradine as a vampire hanging out in the Philippines with a bevy of bodacious lady vampires, it's an extremely silly horror-comedy featuring an incredible theme song and Vic Diaz as a flatulent familiar. But is it any good? Let's find out!
- [Episode 37 - Praising Kane - Hester Street (1975)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-37-praising-kane-hester-street-1975/) - On the latest episode of PRAISING KANE we're looking at the Joan Micklin Silver's 1975 film HESTER STREET, a breakout film for Carol Kane for which she was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar. It's a tale of Jewish immigrants at the turn of the 20th century attempting to adapt to life in New York City, and you can hear Liam and Doug struggle with material well outside their regular wheelhouse! We also chat about Dick Cavett, The Princess' Bride, the Oscar curse and SO MUCH MORE! Check it out!
- [Episode 35 - Whatever Happened to Vic Diaz? - Wonder Women (1973)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-35-whatever-happened-to-vic-diaz-wonder-women-1973/) - We continue to ask the question WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VIC DIAZ? as we look at the gonzo action/exploitation film WONDER WOMEN from 1973, featuring a very sweaty Ross Hagen, a very camp Sid Haig, a very mysterious Nancy Kwan and VIC DIAZ! Featuring cockfighting, buggy chases, mutants, KUNG FU and so much more!
- [Episode 34 - How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? - King of New York (1990)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-34-how-do-you-do-fellow-kids-king-of-new-york-1990/) - We're back with another episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS?: THE CINEMA OF STEVE BUSCEMI, and this time we're talking about the ultraviolent Abel Ferrara crime film KING OF NEW YORK featuring Christopher Walken, Laurence Fishburne, David Caruso and Steve Buscemi as (the briefly seen) Test Tube. What did we think? LISTEN AND FIND OUT!
- [Episode 31 - Praising Kane - The Last Detail (1973)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-31-praising-kane-the-last-detail-1973/) - On the latest episode of PRAISING KANE we look at Carol Kane's performance in Hal Ashby's incredible 1973 movie THE LAST DETAIL starring Jack Nicholson, Otis Young, and Randy Quaid, Written by Robert Towne (and adapted from Darryl Ponicsan's 1969 novel), the film details two Navy lifers (Nicholson and Young) bringing an 18-year-old Seaman to a naval prison after he's caught committing a petty crime. We chat about the film, its legacy and Carol Kane brief, but essential, role. Check it out!
- [Episode 30 - We Do Our Own Stunts - New Fist of Fury (1976)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-30-we-do-our-own-stunts-new-fist-of-fury-1976/) - Jackie Chan finally gets his shot at being the new Bruce Lee in Lo Wei's direct sequel to his original martial arts masterpiece FIST OF FURY. But is the oft-quoted story about Chan's failure at becoming a Chinese superman true, or is reality a bit more complex? On this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS we examine how the plot and purpose of NEW FIST OF FURY has been a bit misrepresented, a fact compounded by a 1980 re-edit that puts Jackie Chan front and center. Let's check it out!
- [Episode 29 - Cinema Fantastica - Soo (2007) & Epitaph (2007)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-29-cinema-fantastica-soo-2007-epitaph-2007/) - On this episode of Cinema Smorgasbord presents Cinema Fantastica we travel back to the 2008 Philadelphia Film Festival and two Korean films that played at their DANGER AFTER DARK program. We start with the brutally violent revenge drama SOO, featuring Ji Jin-hee as a mob enforcer who has to pose as his own cop twin brother to track down his brother's killer. Then we chat about EPITAPH, a Gothic anthology horror film from the Jung Brothers. WHICH FILM IS BETTER? Let us know!
- [Episode 28 - Forgotten Gems? - Medicine For Melancholy (2008)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-28-forgotten-gems-medicine-for-melancholy-2008/) - A triumphant return for Cinema Smorgasbord after a week hiatus, and we bring with us both tales of Liam moving his family to a new state, as well as Barry Jenkins' first feature film: the 2008 romantic-drama Medicine For Melancholy. Starring Wyatt Cenac and Tracey Heggins, the movie traces the aftermath of a one-night-stand as two characters wander San Francisco and discuss relationships, race and gentrification. But is it a forgotten gem? Listen and find out!
- [BONUS EPISODE: Horror Business - DARK AGE & ROGUE](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/bonus-episode-horror-business-dark-age-rogue/) - Liam is currently moving his family to a new state (with, presumably, the cops hot on his tail), and we planned ineffectively so didn't have an episode ready this week. Instead, we've decided to throw up one of the fine, FINE podcasts available on the Cinepunx Network: Horror Business - also featuring Liam O'Donnell as well as Justin Lore.
- [Episode 27 - Whatever Happened To Vic Diaz? - Yamashita: The Tiger's Treasure (2001)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-27-whatever-happened-to-vic-diaz-yamashita-the-tigers-treasure-2001/) - On this week's Whatever Happened To Vic Diaz? we look at Vic's final film: the somewhat controversial Yamashita: The Tiger's Treasure from 2001! Enjoy the exciting(?) exploits of Jobert and his grandfather as they track down trillions in gold hidden by the Japanese during WWII, while an aged Japanese general (played by Vic Diaz) is hot on their trail. Except it's much worse than that sounds! Let's check it out.
- [Episode 19 - We Do Our Own Stunts - All In The Family (1975)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-19-we-do-our-own-stunts-all-in-the-family-1975/) - Jackie Chan having SEX! Wait, come back! Yes, it's Jackie Chan's notorious "porno" film, except it's really just a silly comedy that throws a little nudity and light thrusting into the final half hour. ALL IN THE FAMILY has nothing to do with Archie Bunker, but it has a LOT to do with squabbling families, gambling, rickshaw drivers and virginity tests. There's no martial arts, but there IS a bit where Jackie Chan gets a broken sternum due to SEX! Let's check it out!
- [Episode 9 - We Do Our Own Stunts - The Golden Lotus (1974)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-9-we-do-our-own-stunts-the-golden-lotus-1974/) - On this episode of Cinema Smorgasbord we return to WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS: THE WORK OF JACKIE CHAN, and this time we're looking at a true oddity. Based on a legendary erotic novel from the early 1600s, this film features no martial arts, but still includes plenty of action. It's THE GOLDEN LOTUS, a Shaw Brothers production featuring lots of (uncomfortable) sex, murder, intrigue and a very young Jackie Chan in his kinda sorta first role.
- [Episode 16 - How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? - Ed and His Dead Mother (1993)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-16-how-do-you-do-fellow-kids-ed-and-his-dead-mother-1993/) - After the death of his mother, a young, thin, slightly gawky man in mourning suddenly finds her back from the grave with a hunger for human flesh and must keep her out-of-sight while simultaneously trying to woo his new girlfriend in a series of comedic sequences. No, it's NOT Peter Jackson's DEAD/ALIVE (aka BRAINDEAD), it's the sometimes startlingly similar ED AND HIS DEAD MOTHER from 1993, which leans a lot heavier on goofy humor and much, much, MUCH lighter on graphic violence. This one has a devoted cult around it, and stars a post-RESERVOIR DOGS Steve Buscemi, as well as Ned Beatty, an incredible John Glover and Jon Gries in supporting roles. LET'S SEE WHAT WE THOUGHT!
- [Episode 12 - Forgotten Gems? - August 32nd on Earth (1998)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-12-forgotten-gems-august-32nd-on-earth-1998/) - Before Denis Villeneuve made big Hollywood movies like ARRIVAL, BLADE RUNNER 2049 or DUNE, he cut his teeth with this odd, Quebecois film about two people looking to bang in the desert. Well, it's about a lot more than that. There's capsule hotels, and a burnt corpse and an ending you're never going to forget. But is it any good? LET'S FIND OUT!
- [Episode 10 - Cinema Fantastica - The Hills Have Eyes (1977) vs Alucarda (1977)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-10-cinema-fantastica-the-hills-have-eyes-1977-vs-alucarda-1977/) - On this episode of Cinema Smorgasbord presents Cinema Fantastica we travel back to the 1977 Sitges Film Festival and two extreme, and extremely memorable, horror films that played to a jury that included Dario Argento! First up is the grimy Wes Craven family-takes-on-irradiated-cannibals film THE HILLS HAVE EYES, before we pivot to the surreal Satan-loving Nunsploitation masterpiece ALUCARDA. Best of all, you get to decide which film wins! Check out our social media and VOTE VOTE VOTE!
- [Episode 3 - How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? - Trees Lounge (1996)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-3-how-do-you-do-fellow-kids-trees-lounge-1996/) - It's the first episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS?: THE CINEMA OF STEVE BUSCEMI where we'll be looking non-chronologically at the film work of beloved character actor Steve Buscemi. We start our journey with Buscemi's feature length directorial debut: 1996's TREES LOUNGE
- [Episode 2 - Cinema Fantastica - Fist of the North Star (1986) vs. Wicked City (1987)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode-2-cinema-fantastica-fist-of-the-north-star-1986-vs-wicked-city-1987/) - On the premiere episode we go back to the very first edition of Montreal's Fantasia International Film Festival to look at to feature length anime favorites. First Doug puts forward the astrological post-apocalyptic madness of 1986's FIST OF THE NORTH STAR, and then Liam serves up the ultra-violent, ultra-sexy, ultra-misogynistic WICKED CITY from 1987!
- [Episode 1 - We Do Our Own Stunts - Cub Tiger From Kwang Tung (1971) & Master With Cracked Fingers (1979)](https://www.cinemasmorgasbord.com/episode1wdoos/) - It's the first episode of Cinema Smorgasbord, and we're kicking off with WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS: A JACKIE CHAN PODCAST! On the premiere episode we go back to 1971 for Jackie Chan's very first starring role: LITTLE TIGER OF CANTON. Jackie was just 17 in 1973, but already an experienced actor since the age of 6, and had been working steadily as a stunt performer and choreographer.
