Another week, another double feature! Mixing up the magnificent bastard double this time just a little and adding a twist in there. This time we bring you what was originally a Lance Henricksen Bad Guy double, but we decided last minute that it’s really a Lance Henricksen hunting people double feature!

First film we discuss is John Woo’s American debut… Jean Claude Van Damme and Lance Henricksen in 1993’s HARD TARGET

Next is a quieter Lance in a much quieter film… Jim Jarmusch’s DEAD MAN from 1995 also with Johnny Depp!

Music this week:
The Sword – Fire Lances of the Ancient Hyperzephyrians
Jimmy McGriff – Spear For Moondog, Pt. 1
Mike Watt – arrow-pierced-egg-man

Kind of somewhat maybe a request show again this week, we tackle a couple blaxploitation films made after the heyday of the early-mid 70s…. the glorious 80s!

The first film is ONE DOWN, TWO TO GO, starring a grand foursome of names in the genre and pulling more from the genre than it is an 80s film. Fred Williamson, Jim Brown, Jim Kelly, Richard Roundtree… oh my.

The second film we review is 1988’s ACTION JACKSON… more an 80s action film with blaxploitation sprinkled all throughout.

I had no idea what music to use this week, so some miners picked random shit for me

Music this week:
Rocket From The Crypt – On A Rope
Ariel Pink Haunted Graffiti – Kinski Assassin
Shinehead – Billie Jean (Michael Jackson Cover) Reggae Cover

Even though both came before the Running Man movie….

Yeah…

The first film we review is Joe D’Amato’s ENDGAME – more Mad Max than Running Man, but at least featuring some televised violence with George Eastman!

The second is our second Lucio Fulci film on the show… this time sci fi (the first was a western)… NEW GLADIATORS. Also from 1984, this one has some Fred “The Hammer” Williamson action for ya!

Loaf and Zom are joined this week by the one and only Jake McLargeHuge, from the fantastic Asian film podcast Podcast Without Honor and Humanity, who dropped by to play with us and review a couple films about dudes not quite in their right time.

The first film discussed is a Terry Gilliam film from fairly early on in his post-Monty Python career… one appealing to young and old alike… 1981’s TIME BANDITS.

Next we jump ahead a decade to a quite different film starring Sly and Snipes, the at times over the top DEMOLITION MAN from 1993.
