Cinema Smorgasbord, Podcasts on April 11, 2026 0Comments 0Likes

We’re selling out again.. and much faster than usual! On this explosive episode of CINEMA SMORGASBORD SELLS OUT we’re surviving on wild boar and coconut water with the help of Sam Raimi in 2026’s SEND HELP, his return to low-budget thrills starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien! That pair got stranded on a deserted island after a (appropriately violent) plane crash, but here’s the twist: O’Brien is McAdams’ overbearing, piece of garbage boss and McAdams is obsessed with survivalist books and TV shows. The pair learn a lot about love, friendship and MURDERING EACH OTHER. Did we like it? I dunno. Let’s find out!

On this episode we’re SELLING OUT FOR THE LORD as we tackle Norman Jewison’s adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice rock opera JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR featuring (wussy) Ted Neeley as Jesus and (bad-ass) Carl Anderson as Judas. Doug asks Liam all sorts of uncomfortable religious questions. Y’know, for fun! We’ll talk the history, the performances, the accusations of anti-semitism, all that stuff! Also, what is the DEAL with this Jesus guy? Listen and find out!

Cinema Smorgasbord – Wild in the Streets – Young, Violent, Dangerous (1976)

Cinema Smorgasbord, Podcasts on March 18, 2026 0Comments 0Likes

Three well-to-do young men go on a crime and killing spree for KICKS while Tomas Milian is.. uh.. kinda on their trail in Romolo Guerrieri’s YOUNG, VIOLENT, DANGEROUS from 1976! Milian is sort of wasted, but the trio are a hoot (and there’s plenty of homoerotic under(?)current as well, because of course there is! There’s blood, murder, and a tremendous car chase. Who could ask for anything more? We also discuss our favorite trios for some reason. ENJOY!

Cinema Smorgasbord – We Do Our Own Stunts – Heart of Dragon (1985)

Cinema Smorgasbord, Podcasts on March 6, 2026 0Comments 0Likes

Before we get to the sublime (POLICE STORY) we need to experience the ridiculous, and it doesn’t get much more ridiculous than 1985’s HEART OF DRAGON which features Jackie taking care of his developmentally delayed brother (played by Sammo Hung) even though he really just wants to be on the SWAT Team.. or a police officer.. or a sailor. While sometimes a total disaster (the Sammo antics are NOT GREAT) it also features some extraordinary choreography (from Yuen Biao), particularly in the Japanese version we watched for this episode that has TWO extra fight scenes and closing credits outtakes. Hear some conflicted opinions on this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS!

Cinema Smorgasbord – You Don’t Know Dick – The Trip (1967)

Cinema Smorgasbord, Podcasts on January 21, 2026 0Comments 2Likes

We’re going GUESTLESS and UNTETHERED on this episode of YOU DON’T KNOW DICK, and what a long, strange trip it is! We’re checking out the Roger Corman-directed 1967 film THE TRIP starring Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern and Dennis Hopper – and written by Jack Nicholson – and it’s full of surreal visuals, mind-expanding dialogue and hippy nonsense! Roger Corman went on an LSD trip as prep for the film, and he imbues it with plenty of independent energy (helped by Fonda and Hopper filming guerilla style on the streets of LA), but is it consciousness expanding weirdness or boring nonsense? Let’s find out!

Cinema Smorgasbord – How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? – The Impostors (1998)

Steve Buscemi.. the CROONER? It happened! In this episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? we’re checking out Stanley Tucci’s throwback comedy THE IMPOSTERS from 1998 where Tucci teams with Oliver Platt as a pair of struggling actors/con-artists who find themselves in the middle of MANY plots when they accidentally stowaway on an ocean liner. I’m laughing already! And you’ll be laughing(?) alongside an all-star cast that includes Alfred Molina, Tony Shalhoub, Hope Davis, Lili Taylor, Richard Jenkins, Allison Janney, and – of course – Steve Buscemi as “Happy” Franks. Also Woody Allen shows up. Anyway, all that and the latest Buscemi news. Stop reading this and start listening!

Cinema Smorgasbord host Liam O’Donnell is an anime/manga-loving man in his 40s while his Cinema Smorgasbord co-host Doug Tilley is an anime skeptic (and grumpy old man). On DO YOU OTAKU? Liam is going to force Doug to watch popular anime TV shows and movies and RECORD THE RESULTS. On this PREMIERE episode Liam makes Doug watch the 12-episode first season of the comedy/romance/sci-fi/horror anime DANDADAN, where two high school students encounter monsters, aliens and maybe – just maybe – learn a bit about love. It’s better than that sounds. Always curious about anime but have no idea where to start? START RIGHT HERE, BOZO.
