It’s the 300th(!!!!) episode of Cinema Smorgasbord! Now, normally we would do a big, special celebratory episode, but.. uh.. I forgot it was coming up so instead we’re back with those pervy Lucky Stars goofballs as they travel to Thailand for some trademark misadventures/sexual harassment. Thankfully these sequences are intercut with some of the most incredible action sequences of the era featuring (naturally) Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao (and also Andy Lau, Richard Norton, Lau Kar-wing, Dick Wei, Philip Ko, and Yasuaki Kurata!). Michelle Yeoh even pops up briefly. It’s a tale of two movies in 1985’s TWINKLE TWINKLE, LUCKY STARS. Enjoy!
On this episode of the podcast, Julie and Nick take a look at Frankenstein from director Guillermo del Toro, a new interpretation of Mary Shelley’s horror classic, now streaming on Netflix. They also suggest some more Gothic horror and talk about what other classic literature they love. Plus, the pair discuss trailers galore for the final season of Stranger Things, Savage Hunt, Man Finds Tape, and more (all of which you can check out in the show notes).
On a returning HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? (the world’s finest Steve Buscemi-themed podcast) we’re heading back to the past with Bill Sherwood’s gay romantic drama PARTING GLANCES from 1986, featuring Steve Buscemi’s breakout performance as Nick, an HIV-positive rock musician. Two straight dudes talking about a pioneering queer work? It happened! Now you can hear it and all the latest Steve Buscemi news. Enjoy!
It’s the 2025 Cinema Smorgasbord HALLOWEEN HORROR SPECIAL and as usual we’re taking a look at two underloved horror (or, in this case, horror adjacent) films that deserve a little more attention. We start with the Serbian 2023 socio-political satire WORKING CLASS GOES TO HELL from LIFE AND DEATH OF A PORNO GANG director Mladen Djordjević about a group of exploited workers who turn to Satan for some help battling corrupt businessmen and political leaders. We follow that up with Scooter McCrae’s BLACK EYED SUSAN, which features Yvonne Emilie Thälker as a sex doll designed for punishment, and tackles some iffy moral questions about the future of artificial intelligence and.. Hey! This isn’t very spooky at all! Oops!

On this episode of the podcast, Julie and Nick take a look at R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead from director Jem Garrard, a brand-new piece of gateway horror, now streaming on Tubi. They also suggest some more kid-friendly horror and talk about whether they’ve ever tricked instead of treated. Plus, the pair discuss trailers galore for the second season of The Creep Tapes, the Silent Night Deadly Night remake, Mimics, and more (all of which you can check out in the show notes), while also loving just how good the sponsored horror shorts we got this season were after checking out Hatch’s Goodnight, Phone. All this, and director/film publicist Ted Geoghagen (Mohawk, We Are Still Here, and Brooklyn 45) joins us to share some stories and how he came to horror in the latest installment of The Gate.

On the last stirring episode of GEORGE KENNEDY IS MY COPILOT we covered the first half of the George Kennedy-penned mystery novel MURDER ON LOCATION and on this episode.. WE REACH THE END! Who is the killer? What is their motivation? Does George Kennedy get an Oscar? All will be revealed! And then we talk about the odd disaster movie/jingoistic action movie hybrid THE DELTA FORCE from 1986 starring Chuck Norris and Lee Marvin (and also George Kennedy). ENJOY!
