This week Zom returns and we dive headfirst into some now considered classic baseball films. Will Loaf manage to keep from getting over-sentimental?

First we review FIELD OF DREAMS from 1989, then A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN from 1992!

The one constant through all the years has been baseball….

This week Zom had some technical issues after someone in the dungeon tripped over some important cables while trying to escape, so Jake McLargeHuge of Podcast Without Honor and Humanity stepped in to fill his wrasslin trunks… i mean boots… and review a couple JCVD flicks with Loaf

The first is the JCVD directed THE QUEST from 1996 also with James Remar and a shriveled Roger Moore playing a pirate pirate.

Then we review 1995′s SUDDEN DEATH with hockey, mascot murder, and helicopters. Wee!

Music this week:
Led Zeppelin – Sick Again
The Knife – Heartbeats
Queen – The Night Comes Down

After much begging and pleading by our most prolific celebrity feedsacker, we decided to finally cover a couple Sly films. While we weren’t quite ready to jump to Magnificent Bastard status, (and as ol Russ was given this honor last week), we did find a tenuous link between two early-80s Sly flicks… him with a blonde!

The first film reviewed is NIGHTHAWKS… a smaller film with Rutger Hauer that fell between the now behemoths Rocky 2 and First Blood. Then we confront the harder to find romantic(?) comedy RHINESTONE with Dolly Parton.

We’re inducting another Magnificent Bastard… this time a gentleman by the name of Russ Meyer.

We chose a couple later films to review (his final two, actually!) If you want an overload of jiggly, busty nudity, look no further.

We review UP! from 1976 and BENEATH THE VALLEY OF THE ULTRA-VIXENS from 1979.

This episode is a hard-R… possibly NC-17. Our mothers would be proud

Music this week:
Megadeth – Sweating Bullets
MF Doom – Hey!
Araby – Minks

A few months ago we covered a couple blaxploitation films of the 80s… certainly the tail end of the heyday. This week we go to the opposite end of the spectrum and cover a couple earlier entries that have quite a different feel.

First we review TRICK BABY from 1972, then cover ACROSS 110TH STREET also from 1972. Both of these films have higher production values, budgets, acting quality, etc. than what you may be accustomed to in the genre. What do we think about them?

Music this week:
The Left Rights- LITTLE HARD ON’S
David Bowie – Hearts Filthy Lesson
Judge Dread – Big Six

Last week we thanks CDR, and this week we thank Red Waffle Paul for helping with our top 30 show! Similar in feel at times, but perhaps on the complete opposite side of the globe, we cover a couple northern british films with some less fortunate individuals.

The first film reviewed is a sex-comedy type thing from 1986… divisive in the group and probably controversial upon its release… RITA, SUE, AND BOB TOO

Then we change gears and get a bit more serious with the Ken Loach drama about a dad saving money for his young daughter’s dress in RAINING STONES

Music this week:
Mac DeMarco – Freaking Out The Neighborhood
Ghost B.C. – Secular Haze
DJ Deeon – Gimme Head

As a thank you to CDR of Mill Creeps fame, we wanted him to program a double for us to review. He chose a couple films showcasing a more rural lifestyle in feudal Japan… a once upon a time in Japan double feature

The first film reviewed is considered a modern classic, the sometimes funny, sometimes touching BALLAD OF NARAYAMA from 1983.

Then we give the samurai their due and review the sweaty drunken RONIN-GAI from 1990.

Music this week:
Queen – Gimme The Prize
s.o.d.-pre-menstrual princess blues
Finntroll – Jaktens Tid

Mattsuzaka from Chuck Norris Ate My Baby programmed a double for us this week of unconventional love stories.

The first film review is an artsy horrory comedy type thing from 1994… CEMETERY MAN or Dellamorte Dellamore

Then we discuss a Iim Ki-Duk film from 2001 about forced prostitution and sunshine and happy faces… BAD GUY

Music this week:
Chemlab – Exile on mainline (NYC Mobile Unit demo)
HTRK – Rentboy
Love Machine – Wham!

Friend of the show Cody requested a double this week focusing on a city cop taking on a group of backwoods criminals… and of course had to keep it classy in the 80s!

First we review some sweat and some hair and some more hair and Lorenzo Lamas in SNAKE EATER!

Next is a lesser (?) known film starring James Remar from 1986… taking on some vicious pot dealers in QUIET COOL

Music this week:
Mickey Avalon – My Dick
Scorpions – Rock You Like A Hurricane
The Blues Brothers – Rubber Biscuit

Josh from Capn Howdy’s Blogorium programmed (get it?) a double for us this week… one proooobably more suited to Loaf’s tastes over Zom’s. Two films about creepy shit coming out of your television.

The first film we review is the very colorful very zany TERRORVISION from 1986 about a mutated alien zapping into the lives of a bizarre fifties/eighties hybrid family.

Then we discuss the low budget zombie flick THE VIDEO DEAD from 1987, with an apparently possessed television.

And Zom groans

Music this week:
The Cramps – TV Set
The Misfits – TV Casualty
the Stooges – T.V. Eye
