Shame List Picture Show S9E1 – ROCKY II (1979) feat. Austin Proctor

Welcome to Season 9 of the Shame List Picture Show! In this episode, we’re diving into Sylvester Stallone’s electrifying sequel Rocky II. Joining me is Austin Proctor. Many of you know him from Frightmares and his past guest appearances on our show, but now you’ll be hearing his name a lot more as he’s officially our new Executive Producer and Editor. We’re beyond excited to have Austin on board and to help him cross Rocky II off his shame list!

Cinema Smorgasbord – Wild in the Streets – The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist (1977)

On this episode of WILD IN THE STREETS, Maurizio Merli is (former) Inspector Leonardo Tanzi, a retired cop constantly disciplined for his unusual (brutal) methods, which in this case involves faking his own death so he can take down the psychopathic Luigi ‘The Chinaman’ Maietto (Tomas Milian) and master criminal Frank Di Maggio (John Saxon) in Umberto Lenzi’s THE CYNIC, THE RAT AND THE FIST. Full of two-fisted action, and a “laser” wall you have to see to believe, there’s plenty to like – and be confused by – here, but is it any good? We talk about the good, the bad and the ugly (and try to decide exactly which character is meant to be the cynic/rat/fist) and will let you know. Enjoy!

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!
