This week we decided to pay homage to Mr. Charles Napier, who passed away about a week and a half ago on October 5, 2011. Napier was quite a well known character actor (and chin) in the genre community, acting in loads of television and films over the past 40 years. Blues Brothers, Rambo, Russ Meyer flicks…

We chose a couple films at random that Napier starred in to review

The first was a 1992 crime film directed by Umberto Lenzi called Hornsby e Rodriguez, or MEAN TRICKS. I feel like someone played a mean trick on us.

Then we redeem ourselves by covering a Russ Meyer film from 1970 called CHERRY, HARRY, AND RAQUEL, but probably just end up stuttering and talking about tits through the whole review.

As always things completely fall apart by the end and Loaf sings Cher.

Apologies to Maurice for missing your email this week. We gotcha next week though

Every week on Silva & Gold, it seems some form of racism always appears in the films we watch and review. We figured we should just go ahead and cover a couple that tackle such themes head on by dressing people up in ridiculous costumes, throwing pies, inflating giant dragons, etc. Just your run of the mill, everyday spoofs!

First we discuss DARKTOWN STRUTTERS from 1975. Imagine an episode of Fat Albert, only the problem the kids have is a Colonel Sanders look-alike villain who has pig henchmen and a giant KKK biker gang at his disposal.

Next is a war/imperialism/USA/capitalism-protest film from 1969 called MR. FREEDOM, a “a pro-American Right superhero who fights for God and country by beating, robbing, and killing anyone who looks like they might disagree with him.” And by look, I’m sure that means “not white.”

We fall off the tracks perhaps more than usual this week, so get ready for a long mess.

Hey, it’s free! What can you do?

In a slight change of pace, this week the guys from Outside the Cinema chose two Japanese cyberpunk films that may just leave you scratching your head.

The first is an 16mm film from 1988 called Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Yes, a giant drill dick does make an appearance.

Then we try our damnedest to bring it all back around with a review of Rubber’s Lover from 1996. The name pretty much says it all, although this is not a porn! Unless screaming counts into that determination.

You can only imagine the tangents we go off on when the regular subject matter of the week is already out there. Zom may be coming to chop both Bill and Chris after this one.

Enjoy!

So there’s this guy. Zom loves ‘im. Loaf’s never heard of ‘im.

His name’s Paré.

Michael Paré

And he has rocketed into our collective psyche through a couple films by the name of

Eddie and the Cruisers

and

Streets of Fire.

Two films that we have tossed around for the past month or so that we figured we damn well should do official reviews on.

Zom’s a little sick… Loaf’s a little…um…who knows what Loaf is.

But at some point, smashing feces through a Play Doh fun factory is discussed.

Kisses!

Once you get past all the ums we throw out there this week from our apparent lack of rest and possibly lack of preparation (heh), we might just interest you with a royal double feature… The movies themselves have no royalty so to speak, but rather are just named as such.

Before he was Perseus, Harry Hamlin was in this movie called King of the Mountain from 1981. If Hamlin doesn’t tickle your taint, what about an early 80s Dennis Hopper who may or may not have even read the script before acting in it. Or was he acting? Racing on Mullholland Drive… Atari playing… Styx and a leather Member’s Only jacket…

Then we cover a film that seems like it should be bigger than it ever was, King of the Gypsies from 1978, starring a very young Eric Roberts, Judd Hirsch, Susan Sarandon, Shelley Winters, and a woolly bearded, scene chewing Sterling Hayden.

Oh, and our usual banter and off-topic ramblings…

Stinky people and shotguns… it’s what we’re all about here.

It’s time once again for your favorite show and mine, Silva & Gold!

This week we thought we were simply covering two films each with a group of four individuals wandering in a desert-like setting. What we discovered is that we had a double feature of two movies with characters earning some sort of redemption after a trial in the desert.

The first is one of Lucio Fulci’s few spaghetti westerns, the 1975 film Four of the Apocalypse starring Fabio Testi and Tomas Milian.

Then we discuss Johnnie To’s near-western from 2006 called Exiled. The Gentlemen’s Guide to Midnight Cinema covered this many moons ago. Alas, I cannot remember if they covered Four of the Apocalypse.

We also manage to talk about smelly balls, smelly breath, Fabio getting peed on, and Andre the Giant’s peculiar sex habits.

I’m confused too.

Wow, three weeks in and we’re already releasing epic episodes!

Join us for our near three hour monster where we run the gamut from coal mining to New Jack wrestling at a shitty bar in Georgia.

We also somehow manage to cover Martin Scorsese’s Boxcar Bertha from 1972. He calls it his exploitation film.

And just for good measure, we throw in a little bit of Hobo With A Shotgun from 2011. Spoiler alert…. one of us is pretty pissed about having to watch this one!

So if you have a nice commute ahead of you, or need a sleeping aid, we’re with you for hours on end doing what we do at least somewhat decently I suppose. We’d love to hear from you: feedback to silvagoldpodcast@gmail.com or voicemails to 206-339-1600.

Time for a brand spankin new episode of Silva & Gold. This week Zom and I review two films loosely related by their inclusion of a Hollywood staple, the redneck lawman.

First we discuss 1976’s Jackson County Jail with Yvette Mimieux and Tommy Lee Jones, a cult film produced by Roger Corman.

Next up is 1985’s Final Justice with the legendary Joe Don Baker playing the rather comical Deputy Sheriff Thomas Jefferson Geronimo III.

And it’s pronounced HERonimo.

Because he’s Apache

Yeah

So join us on a magical journey into Southern justice.

As always, feedback us at silvagoldpodcast@gmail.com or voicemails to 206-339-1600.
