Podcasts, The Shame List Picture Show on June 26, 2023 0Comments 0Likes

On today’s episode of the Shame List Picture Show, Michael is joined by Niko Aldrich. Niko Aldrich is not only a friend of Michael’s but a former guest, and also a skilled editor and filmmaker. Niko joins Michael to discuss William Friedkin’s controversial yet transgressive film CRUISING. A film that was wildly misunderstood back in 1980, CRUISING is being re-evaluated in the last couple of years as one of Friedkin’s most interesting pieces of filmmaking.

We’re getting WILD IN THE STREETS with Henry Silva and Woody Strode in Fernando Di Leo’s THE ITALIAN CONNECTION from 1972! Starring Mario Adorf as a Milanese pimp wanted by the mob for a crime he didn’t commit, it takes its time getting going, but eventually turns into a story of violent revenge, including one of the finest chase sequences you’re likely to ever see! We discuss some of our other favorite chase scenes, Liam’s crime connections and SO MUCH MORE. Check it out!

Cinema Smorgasbord – Whatever Happened to Vic Diaz? – Raw Force (1981)

Cinema Smorgasbord, Podcasts on June 12, 2023 0Comments 0Likes

On this high kicking episode of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VIC DIAZ? we’re setting off with a nudity-filled sexploitation comedy mixed with a martial arts action film featuring a dash of the living dead, cannibalism, Nazis, explosions and a heck of a lot more with the wild 1981 mashup RAW FORCE from director Edward D. Murphy! Starring Cameron Mitchell, Geoffrey Binney, Hope Holiday, FIRECRACKER’s Jillian Kesner and – of course – Vic Diaz, this one is goofy as hell, and occasionally lives up to its extra lurid poster art. We also discuss cult film revivals, what it means for a film to be “trash”, the definition of exploitation and all sorts of other heady topics. CHECK IT OUT!
