On the latest PRAISING KANE we’re diving into the fraught history of the two Coreys (Haim and Feldman) with the 1988 teen comedy classic(?) LICENSE TO DRIVE, featuring car chases, a hip drive-in restaurant, scary driving tests (/w James Avery), Richard Masur, Billy Ocean’s “Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car” and OF COURSE the wonderful Carol Kane. We also chat about the upcoming short documentary CAROL & JOY which should be available to watch RIGHT NOW on the Criterion Channel. Enjoy!

On this episode of the podcast, Julie and Nick take a look at Keeper, director Osgood Perkins’ third movie in 18 months, in theaters now. They also suggest some more weird stuff in the woods and talk about what foods they’ve eaten because of their Midwestern upbringing. Plus, the pair discuss trailers galore for Rufus, Return to Silent Hill, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, and more (all of which you can check out in the show notes), while showering love and affection on Sarah Sherman. All this and Nick tells the tale of Popeye’s Freddy Fazbear meal.

Cinema Smorgasbord – Wild in the Streets – Weapons of Death (1977)

Cinema Smorgasbord, Podcasts on November 25, 2025 0Comments 0Likes

We’re getting WILD IN THE STREETS with Henry Silva (/w some other guy’s voice) in Mario Caiano’s WEAPONS OF DEATH from 1977. Trying desperately to seem like a sequel to the previous year’s VIOLENT NAPLES, this one has Leonard Mann as Commissioner Belli, a cop on the edge trying to track down rogue mob boss Santoro (Henry Silva) while also helping out a precocious/annoying kid named Gennarino. Thankfully this one has a trick up its sleeve: EXTREME VIOLENCE (thanks to Fulci makeup favorite Gino De Rossi), and a few solid action scenes (car chases! Pool hall fights! Piano wire decapitation!) to keep things moving. It’s not bad, but is it.. good? Listen and find out!
