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.
