Cinema Smorgasbord – Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out – Dune: Part Two (2024)

We’re back and we’re still SELLING OUT with a rare chat about a current blockbuster: the Denis Villeneuve-directed sequel DUNE: PART TWO. Following the continuing adventures of Paul Atreides and his pals on the sand-covered planet Arrakis (aka DUNE). We chat about the David Lynch (and aborted Alejandro Jodorowsky) version(s), Liam’s experience with the books, what does and doesn’t work, and whether we’re interested in more films/TV in the DUNE universe. CHECK IT OUT!

Cinema Smorgasbord – Eric Roberts is the Man – Master! (2021)

We’re doctorin’ the TARDIS on this episode of ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN with a first for the podcast: an audio drama box-set produced by Big Finish featuring Eric Roberts (naturally) as beloved Doctor Who villain THE MASTER! Helping us maneuver through (relative) time and dimensions in space is author and podcaster Chad Denton, who helps bridge the gap between Eric’s performance in the 1996 DOCTOR WHO TV movie and his surprising return. There’s also plenty of BIG NEWS to cover, including the recent announcement of the upcoming Eric Roberts autobiography! CHECK IT OUT!

Cinema Smorgasbord – We Do Our Own Stunts – Dragon Lord (1982)

After a less-then-fruitful experience in the US (filming THE BIG BRAWL and THE CANNONBALL RUN), Jackie returned to Hong Kong with a blank check from Golden Harvest and a chip on his shoulder. The result was plenty if bumps, bruises and 1982’s DRAGON LORD, which serves as a transitionary period between the old-school kung fu films of his past and the stunt-heavy films (with higher production value) that would define his work in the 1980s. In this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS we break down the good and bad of DRAGON LORD, its two cuts, and the two bravura sequences within. LISTEN!

The Carnage Report Episode 50: Lisa Frankenstein

On this episode of the podcast, Julie and Nick celebrate their 50th episode with a look at the Diablo Cody-scripted, Zelda Williams-directed horror comedy, Lisa Frankenstein, now in theaters and on-demand. Plus, the pair recommend you go watch some coming-of-rage and ‘Savage’ Steve Holland movies, discuss the impending return of EC Comics, and discuss trailers galore for T-Blockers, Easter Bloody Easter, Boy Kills World, and more. Plus, Julie and Nick discuss their moody adolescent hangout spots.

Cinema Smorgasbord – Wild in the Streets – Le Marginal (1983)

We’re getting WILD IN THE STREETS with Jean-Paul Belmondo in the 1983 action film LE MARGINAL (aka THE OUTSIDER)! Featuring Belmondo as Commissioner Philippe Jordan, a tough as nails cop who – wait for it – plays by his own rules, and those rules involve running through traffic, jumping out of helicopters, and just straight up murdering dudes with his car! It’s good, clean, semi-fascistic fun and our hosts feel a bit guilty about how much fun it is. Oh well! Enjoy!
