Special Guests: Michael Barrie, Gary D. Rhodes Guest Co-Hosts: Fredde Duke, Richard Whitley, Jamie Klein
We are kicking off Shocktober 2021 with a look at William Beaudine’s Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (1952) which stars Bela Lugosi (as you may have guessed) as well as comedy duo Sammy Petrillo and Duke Mitchell. They’re a knock-off Martin & Lewis team and they’re found on a little island in the Pacific that is populated by stock footage of African animals.
Rich Whitley, Jamie Klein, and Fredde Duke join Mike to discuss the film as well as Fredde's documentary about her father, producer Maurice Duke, Fuck 'Em. Screenwriter Michael Barrie also stops by as well.
Special Guests: Miles Chapin, Alfred Sole, Jamie Klein, Richard Whitley Guest Co-Hosts: Rod Lott, Gary Hill
We’re looking at Alfred Sole’s Pandemonium (1982) which stars Candice Azzara as Bambi, a witness to the horrific murder of her high school cheer leading squad who, years later, fulfills her lifelong dream of starting her own cheer leading camp at It Had To Be University.
Rod Lott and Gary Hill join Mike to discuss the film and other horror comedy parodies from the early '80s. Special guests include Miles Chapin, Alfred Sole, Richard Whitley, and Jamie Klein.
Update: Thanks to listener Matt M. for the explanation of the Blue Grange joke! "Harold Edward "Red" Grange (June 13, 1903 – January 28, 1991), nicknamed "The Galloping Ghost" and "The Wheaton Iceman", was an American football halfback for the University of Illinois, the Chicago Bears, and the short-lived New York Yankees. His signing with the Bears helped legitimize the National Football League (NFL)."
