On this week’s show, a sleepy Zom and a sleepy Loaf stumble through a couple films about men reaching their breaking points with society. Almost a “Not Quite Falling Down” double feature.

The first film we cover is a Japanese film from 1983 called Mosquito on the 10th Floor. A policeman who has taken to the bottle and to forcing himself on ladies around him.

Then we cover a boisterous Peter Boyle in 1970’s Joe about a blue collar racist and a wealthy man who may have more in common than it first seems.

Music this week:
Al Green – Tired of Being Alone
Eddie and the Hot Rods – Beginning Of The End
Elf Power – The Cracks

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.
