On today’s episode Michael is joined by Nick Richards (former co-host and co-creator of SLPS) to discuss BLADE RUNNER!
In 1974 Mario Bava was struggling after a series of financial failures and decided to turn towards a genre completely new to him: Poliziotteschi! Adapting a crime story by Michael J. Carroll, he was almost finished filming when the producer filed for bankruptcy, leaving the film to sit on a shelf for twenty years (well after Bava’s death in 1980). On this episode of WILD IN THE STREETS we take a look at the revived film RABID DOGS, which exists in FIVE different versions – most notably an unfinished workprint version and a re-edited version with new sequences filmed by Lamberto Bava retitled KIDNAPPED! Was it worth the wait, or should these dogs be put down? LISTEN AND FIND OUT!
What? We’re back with another CINEMA SMORGASBORD SELLS OUT already?! When the wonderful Luke Higginson (director of the terrific RELAX, I’M FROM THE FUTURE starring Rhys Darby) reached out to see if he could hop back on the podcast to help promote the DVD special edition of his film, we dropped everything and put together an episode devoted to another Canadian film classic: Bruce McDonald’s legendary punk mockumentary HARD CORE LOGO from 1996. We chat about the state of the Canadian film industry, and the difficulties with Canadian film distribution, Canadian punk music, working with Julian Richings and SO MUCH MORE. It’s our punkiest episode yet! LISTEN!
Michael is joined by screenwriter, podcaster and cinephile Joe Randazzo to discuss John Ford’s epic film THE SEARCHERS.
After a 23-year hiatus away from directing (and with an assist from the Jodorowsky’s Dune documentary) Alejandro Jodorowsky returned to filmmaking with the autobiographical fantasy (based on his own book) THE DANCE OF REALITY in 2013. On this episode of JodoWOWsky we break down all the latest Jodorowsky news (including Julia’s experience attending some recent screenings with Jodo himself!), take a look at the Adan Jodorowsky-directed short film THE VOICE THIEF (based on his father’s short story) and – of course – going deep on THE DANCE OF REALITY!

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VIC DIAZ is BACK! On this episode Tom Selleck is an American museum curator in the Philippines who becomes obsessed with a painting of three witches being burned at the stake when he notices one eerily resembles his young wife Chris (Barra Grant) in 1972’s DAUGHTERS OF SATAN. What follows is SATANISM, witchery, a demon dog from HELL, and lots and lots of day-for-night filmmaking. Also.. the wonderful Vic Diaz as the fiendish antiques dealer Carlos Ching! Let’s explore it together, friends.
Hot diggity dog! On a returning PRAISING KANE we’re committed to giving you the best possible value for your ears, so not only are we going over the latest Carol Kane news, we’re also discussing both an episode of the beloved sitcom CHEERS (featuring Carol Kane as a woman who catches Sam’s eye before he discovers she was previously in a mental hospital), and we also go deep on the Barbara Mandrell-starring TV movie BURNING RAGE from 1984 featuring Tom Wopat, Eddie Albert, Bert Remsen and – of course – Carol Kane for some reason! The film has Mandrell trying to convince a small southern town to move away from their dangerous, combustible mines while she’s being wooed by Tom Wopat’s and being chased (and threatened) by money-obsessed psycho Eddie Albert! LET’S LISTEN!
On today’s episode of SLPS Michael is being joined by podcasters Austin Proctor and Katie Kadaver to discuss WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY.

We also chat about our own limited experience as making movies and talk about why some find the film inspiring, while it’s scared others from the movie business entirely! CHECK IT OUT!
