Special Guest: Bob Koherr Guest Co-Hosts: Chis Gore, Mike Sullivan
Based loosely on Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary’s indie darling, Plump Fiction (1997) stars Paul Dinello and Tommy Davidson as a salt and pepper hit man team. Dinello has been asked by his boss to take out the boss’s wife, Mimi Hungry (Julie Brown) to show her a good time. Their adventure brings them in contact with a handful of other Tarantino films as well as other independent movies of the day.
Mike Sullivan and Chris Gore stop by to discuss Plump Fiction, Chris's film My Big Fat Independent Movie and more. Writer/director Bob Koherr provides some history and behind-the-scenes stories of making the film and what it did for his career.
Special Guests: Myrna Sokoloff Guest Co-Hosts: Mike Sullivan, Rob St. Mary
We’re looking at the Conservative comedy, An American Carol2008. The child of Charles Dickens and Bill O'Reilly, the film tells the tale of Michael Malone -- a stand-in for filmmaker Michael Moore (Kevin P. Farley). He's a liberal know-nothing who’s inflamed hate against the Land that We Love and is visited by four ghosts -- well, three ghosts and a contemporary country singer -- to try and convince him to love country music and stop complaining about gun control, global warming, unjust wars, and other bleeding-heart liberal causes.
Directed by David Zucker (Airplane!, Top Secret), the film was co-written by Myrna Sokoloff, as a reaction to Hollywood intolerance.
Rob St. Mary returns to the show along with Mike Sullivan to discuss the film, satire, and falafels. This isn't a podcast, this is The Flintstones.
Note: The Thomas Jefferson joke is from Joe Machi.
For our third anniversary show, we're taking a look at Black Dynamite (1999), one of the baddest muthas to ever take down kung-fu treachery. Our guests include director/writer Scott Sanders and writer/actor Byron Minns (Bullhorn).
You will believe a pie can fly after we talk about Superbman: The Other Movie, a parody flick from the early '80s. Rob and Mike also discuss parodies, fan films, and other cinematic tributes.
This Italian film will curl the nosehairs on a dead nun. It's a "parody" of Jurassic Park but with chickens. Funny, no? No. Chicken Park comes to American shores courtesy of Jerry Calà, a national treasure in his homeland and scourge of anyone with a funny bone in the U.S.A.
Co-hosting this week is Mike Sullivan of Shock Cinema, Paracinema and Cashiers du Cinemart (among other things).
Mike and Mondo Justin get wacky with the whacked-out comedy Wacko from Projection Booth favorite Greydon Clark. Live from the floor of HorrorHound Weekend we talk to Clark about the making of Wacko, the early days of Andrew "Dice" Clay, and his friendship with Joe Don Baker.
Mike also talks to Zack Carlson about the book Destroy All Movies, the definitive guide to punks on film.
