Special Guest: Miles Chapin Guest Co-Hosts: Kat Ellinger, Heather Drain
Heather Drain and Kat Ellinger join Mike to discuss Billy Wilder’s Buddy Buddy (1981). The movie is yet another pairing of Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. This time they’re filling the shoes of Lino Ventura and Jacques Brel in this remake of Edouard Molinaro’s L'Emmerdeur.
Matthau plays Trabucco, a ruthless hitman, while Lemmon plays Victor Clooney, a milquetoast whose wife left him three months prior. Naturally they get thrown together in the unlikeliest of circumstances and hilarity ensues.
The episode features an interview with Miles Chapin and a loving tribute to Klaus Kinski.
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)."
Special Guests: Michael Weller, Miles Chapin Guest Co-Hosts: Gil Kenan, Lee Gambin
Gil Kenan and Lee Gambin join Mike to discuss Milos Forman's Hair (1979), an adaptation of the groundbreaking stage play from 1968.
