Join us as we drill deep into the likelihood of a group of roughnecks becoming unlikely astronauts, Ben Affleck, Aerosmith (or – as I like to call them – AeroBLECH), Bruce Willis saving the planet, and ANIMAL CRACKERS. All this and the latest Steve Buscemi news! ENJOY!

On this episode of YOU DON’T KNOW DICK (the world’s finest Dick Miller podcast) we’re going APE with Box Office Gross podcast co-host Rob Stammitti as we check out the Jonathan Kaplan-directed Matthew Broderick-starring chimpanzee science-fiction(?) drama PROJECT X from 1987. 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!

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!

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!

How does this odd-couple road trip hold up, and how much does Carol steal the show? LISTEN and FIND OUT!
