Junk Food Dinner

Junk Food Dinner returns for our annual holiday celebration and this year we're feeling particularly nostalgic! Up first, The Muppets gang crashes at Fozzy's mom's house for the holidays and they're bringing all their friends, even the Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock crew, in the 1987 TV special A Muppet Family Christmas. Then, we revisit one of Sean's favorite holiday traditions; we see what movies and electronics film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert were recommending folks pick up in the Siskel and Ebert's 1990 Holiday Video Gift Guide! And finally, in the summer of 1992, one of biggest films was the blockbuster sequel Batman Returns. Tim Burton and Michael Keaton returned but this time Batman squares off against The Penguin (played by Danny DeVito) and Catwoman (played by Michelle Pfeiffer). But is it a Christmas movie? You bet your Batmobile it is! All this plus holiday cheer from our buddy Peter, tributes to some fallen heroes, Sean's epic new video mix tape and much more!LISTEN NOW:MP3 Direct DonloydAlso, if you like the show, please take a minute and subscribe and/or comment on us on iTunes, Stitcher, Blubrry or Podfeed.net.

With the violence and practical effects turned up to 11 and featuring Daniel Bernhardt in the titular role and Patton Oswalt providing the voice of his mystical sidekick, can this reboot live up to the original?Next, Andy Warhol scenester Holly Woodlawn stars in the wacky musical comedy Scarecrow in a Garden of Cucumbers from 1972. The film, which has been unavailable for decades and just recently got restored and released by AGFA, chronicles the misadventures of a young woman looking for fame in love on the mean streets of New York City. Finally, a professional special effects artist (Bryan Brown) is recruited by the US Department of Justice to stage a fake assassination of a prominent mob figure in the 1986 thriller F/X.

This month, the JFD gang pays tribute to Christopher Guest with a trio of flicks that feature some level of his involvement. Up first! We were shocked to discover our baby boy Bowman hadn't seen 1984's Spinal Tap, but now he has. Did he like it, though? Next up! We stretch the definition of "involvement" with Mary Tyler Moore's television variety special called How to Survive the 70s and Maybe Even Bump Into Happiness, (from 1978). He's sort of in it, but barely. Finally! Of course, it's 1993's Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman, because he directed it, and that's the only movie he directed that we've heard of. All this plus a traumatic treat-based trick, a cinci cult film screening update, a juggalo gathering update, fourth dimension theatrical exhibitions, the smells of vienna austria, an official update on Kevin's all-important filing status, is free speech overrated?, nerd news and even more!

Your boys are back with some spooky almost-Schlocktober fun! There's an absolutely massive October movie preview with a few of our favorite film makers and a lot of weird nonsense on streaming services. We also talk about "The Long Walk" and some other stuff. Then we finally discuss "Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight" from 1995. The Ernest Dickerson movie brought the Crypt Keeper to the big screen.

  Our adventures with ancient Japanese woodsmen continue with our look at the overlooked Under the Blossoming Cherry Trees, from 1975.

It's not exactly a Niku Daruma, but it's close! Sean and Parker return to discuss some weird things this week. First, it's hate-watching Bill Maher and youtubers and Parker went to see "Weapons." After that, Sean introduces a new game show. Is it "Mike" or "Psych" as Parker is quizzed on how well he knows everyone's favorite Japanese director, Rikishi Mike. Then, the guys discuss the less successful director, Takashi Miike, and his 2014 film, "As the Gods Will." The movie, based on a manga, as is pretty common, features a violent daruma doll, bored gods and a very violent day at school. "> Direct Donloyd All this, plus Junk Mails, Australia, Godzilla Chat and so much more.

  Our adventures with 7th-century Buddhist monks of the Far East continue with our look at the overlooked The Fantastic Magic Baby, from 1975.
