Shorts for the Masses: Four Short Films From The 1950's

For a change of pace, instead of watching a movie, we watched four short films from the 1950's. One was about IBM computers at the Roper Corporation. We learned about how to build a bomb shelter in your basement. We also learned how to make a disgusting 1950's sandwich and what to do in our leisure time. Commentary tracks for all these will be available shortly, as well as on our YouTube page.

Outtakes: We Pitch A Wes Anderson Superhero Film!

I recently watched Wes Anderson's new film "The Phoenician Scheme," which led us on a tangent about his movies and ideas for a superhero film. Discussion is already in progress when this recording starts.

Trash for the Masses #21: Strange Invaders (1983)

Want to know how much of an impression this movie made? When I went to edit it, I couldn't remember the title or anything about it! Yet, somehow, we talked about it for over an hour! It's about aliens in a small town in Illinois and features some really odd cinematic choices.

Commentary/Movie Riff of Can't Stop The Music (1980)

This is presented "as is." Apparently, right after we watched this, the movie got pulled from YouTube and is not available on any streaming service I have access to, so I am unable to ensure that this syncs properly. So, if you have it a go, it might require some trial and error.

Trash for the Masses #20: Can't Stop The Music (1980)

It's MLCTF vs The Village People! This "origin story" movie was released in 1980 at the tail end of the disco era. Stars Valerie Perrine, Caitlyn Jenner (still Bruce at the time), Steve Guttenberg, and, of course, The Village People themselves.

Trash for the Masses #19: Dawn of the Mummy (1981)

A generic mummy movie actually filmed in Egypt! Stars no one you'll recognize and features some of the worst acting in history. A real turd!

Trash for the Masses #18: Maximum Overdrive (1986)

We watch and review the 1986 film Maximum Overdrive, written AND directed by Stephen King. There's a reason King isn't known as a director.

Trash for the Masses #17: The Messenger (1986)

We watch a 1986 "gem" starring and directed by b-movie icon Fred Williamson. Co-starring Cameron Mitchell and a bunch of people you've never heard of, this confusing mess of a film is a standard revenge action piece set in Italy and the US.

For our first get together after the Holidays, we had an unscripted (i.e. rambling) discussion about whatever came to mind. Needless to say, it went on for awhile, so here's the first part where we discuss the movie Bad Boys, Sean Connery films, The Rock's Red One, our Christmas presents, Popeye, and more!
