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.

In our first real life episode, we tackle a couple flicks handed to us on a silver platter by our big brothers The Gentlemen’s Guide to Midnite Cinema. These reviews are our little dedication to them for everything they do.

Including the oily rubdowns.

In an American Idols double feature, The Samurai gave us 1989’s No Holds Barred starring Hulk Hogan, and Large William gave us 1974’s The Yakuza starring Robert Mitchum.

See the connection??

Eh? Eh???

Rip ’em, daddy-o!

We also got a little feedback and yammer on as usual!

I really don’t want to go through the process of rerizing the animated gif here, so we’ll just pretend it’s oversizedness (I just made that word up) doesn’t totally ruin the aesthetic of this post.

Here is our inaugural episode of Silva & Gold where Zom and I actually record something and talk for awhile on us and what we’ve been watching. This will not be our standard format – we’re just working out the bugs!

Come listen to us figure out what we are going to say on the air! Be amazed at Loaf’s ignorance of an apparent quintessential Walter Hill film and cool/tough guy actor!

I completely forgot in the episode to thank Reverend Scott for our sweet new intro. We have been working on this thing it feels like for so long that the intro didn’t even feel new to us anymore.

Damn my slow technical skills.
