Cinema Smorgasbord, Podcasts on February 4, 2025 0Comments 1Like

The Pope is DEAD and someone needs to replace him in Edward Berger’s unique political thriller/mystery CONCLAVE from 2024, featuring Ralph Fiennes as Cardinal Lawrence, who is leading the replacement process, as well as Stanley Tucci, Lucian Msamati, John Lithgow, and Sergio Castellitto as potential new popes (if they can get the votes). It’s fascinating stuff, with a controversial element that we’ll get into during our spoiler section (don’t worry, we’ll warn you!). We also chat about the recent passing of David Lynch in the opening segment, so get ready and LISTEN!

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, Podcasts on January 27, 2025 0Comments 1Like

CANADA! DIVORCE! Are there any two sweeter words in the English language? I can think of one: CRONENBERG! On this episode of FURTHER REEDING we’re getting personal with the 1979 David Cronenberg-directed horror classic THE BROOD starring Art Hindle, Samantha Eggar and – of course – OLIVER REED! It’s a film full of complexity, autobiographical elements, (possible) misogyny and killer mutant kids so you know it’s right up our alley. Listen and hear some THOUGHTS!

On this episode of the podcast, Julie and Nick take a look at the latest Dark Universe installment, Wolf Man, directed by Leigh Whannell, in theaters now. They also suggest a few other movies which play with werewolves and classic monsters. Plus, the pair discuss trailers galore for Dark Match, Companion, Heart Eyes, and more (all of which you can check out in the show notes at Cinepunx), while speculating wildly regarding what Re-Animator’s 40th anniversary might entail. Also, Julie and Nick discuss how they respond to a full moon.

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

Cinema Smorgasbord, Podcasts on January 20, 2025 0Comments 0Likes

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!

What better time to watch a computer animated feature about monsters than.. uh.. January? Well, we’re doing it anyway! On this episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? we’re watching the Sandlerverse-adjacent animated comedy HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA and it’s.. actually not too bad. Featuring the vocal talents of Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez, Andy Samberg, Kevin James, and – of course – Steve Buscemi, it’s about a bunch of monsters in a hotel or something. I don’t know. Just listen to the thing. Thanks!

Cinema Smorgasbord – Praising Kane – Jumpin Jack Flash (1986)

Cinema Smorgasbord, Podcasts on January 6, 2025 0Comments 0Likes

It’s the first episode of 2024 and PRAISING KANE is packed with wild Carol Kane content, starting with the hour long episode of Shelley Duvall’s TALL TALES & LEGENDS adapting the famous poem “Casey at the Bat”.. sort of! With Elliott Gould, Howard Cosell, Bob Uecker, Bill Macy and CAROL KANE! It’s plenty odd. Then we look at an episode of the 80s comedy crime series CRAZY LIKE A FOX /w Jack Warden and John Rubinstein, featuring Carol Kane guesting as a beleaguered secretary. Then it’s time for the main event, the Penny Marshall directed comedy-thriller JUMPIN JACK FLASH starring Whoopi Goldberg and a slew of famous faces in supporting roles- including Carol Kane! It’s a Liam O’Donnell childhood favorite, but does it hold up? Let’s find out!
