Description
The podcast for the website B&S About Movies. I own too many movies and too few people want to talk to me in real life about them, so what if you listen to me -- in bite-sized chunks -- tell you why I love or hate a movie?

For the hundredth episode, I had to think: what is my favorite movie, really? And the answer, as always, is Flash Gordon. He's just a man, with a man's courage. You know how it is.Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing.Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.Important links:Theme song: Strip Search by Neal Gardner.

In a Mexican convent and orphanage, a new girl named Justine arrives. She becomes close with another orphan named Alucarda, who was born in a mysterious barn and may be evil before this film even starts. In fact, she often appears in the film out of the shadows, filled with menace and questioning everyone’s faith.

Yes, I did a show about Academysploitation, but part of me wanted to talk about every movie in the series and no one else in my life wants to discuss these movies, so I am ready to share my love for Tackleberry, Zed, Hooks, Hightower and more.Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing.Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.Important links:Theme song: Strip Search by Neal Gardner.Visit B&S About Movies and email me at bandsaboutmovies@gmail.com.

Adam Hursey is our guest this episode, a pharmacist specializing in health informatics by day, but his true passion is cinema. His current favorite films are Back to the Future, Stop Making Sense, and In the Mood for Love. He has written articles for Film East and The Physical Media Advocate, primarily examining older films through the lens of contemporary perspectives. He is usually found on Letterboxd, where he mainly writes about horror and exploitation films. You can follow him on Letterboxd or Instagram at ashursey.Adam is defending the 1978-made, 1983-released Mardi Gras Massacre. This was a fun episode and I really loved discussing the movie with Adam. He'll be back soon!Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing.Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.Important links:Theme song: Strip Search by Neal Gardner.Visit B&S About Movies and email me at bandsaboutmovies@gmail.com.

I love Pittsburgh — a Rick Sebak doc will move me to tears in seconds — and I adore giallo. So together? Well, that’s like putting fries on a salad, which is pretty much Allegheny County’s major contribution to the world of cuisine. This is a list cataloging the movies that I deem to be Yinzer Giallo.Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing.Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.Important links:Theme song: Strip Search by Neal Gardner and Theme from New Wave Hookers.Visit B&S About Movies and email me at bandsaboutmovies@gmail.com.

Bill Van Ryn is the master of all things Groovy Doom and Drive-In Asylum. The Bat People is a movie that he loves and it's so awesome to hear why it's one of his obsessions.

Kurt Brown, also known by some as Vandal Drummond, introduced me to so much. I look at him as the older brother I don't have and thank him for driving me all over Hollywood to show me some amazing places. He's also the executive producer and researcher of Out In the Ring, a documentary you can get from Vinegar Syndrome.In this episode, we go deep into Skidoo but go off on several tangents, which include Johnny Legend, pre-1970s wrestling all over the world, including Titantes en el Ring, Dr. Jerry Graham and much more. This is one of my favorite episodes because it captures a true conversation between us, two friends who haven't spoken by voice in years.

This week, Police Academy, which gives way to the genre known -- at least by me -- as academysploitation. It's cops, it's a bit of Animal House, it's slobs vs. snobs. This episode has Vice Academy, Moving Violations, Fast Food, Hamburger: the Motion Picture and Stewardess School.Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing.Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.Important links:Theme song: Strip Search by Neal Gardner.Visit B&S About Movies and email me at bandsaboutmovies@gmail.com.
