HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH! (Episode #7)

"Mrs. Voorhees, we're ready for your close up."

Break out the hockey mask and machete to celebrate yet another Friday the 13th!  We've decided to dive into a solid horror movie for this month's episode (and we had so much fun expect a Friday the 13th Part 2 review in the nearish future).  We've also decided on a post-WrestleMania episode set to air two days after the WWe's biggest event of the calendar year.  Other projects in the future beyond our monthly episodes include special DVD audio commentary track episodes for THE ROAD WARRIOR (May) and MEATBALLS (June).  Don and I are having a blast with the show and we're keeping our fingers crossed that word-of-mouth spreads and perhaps we can get a few 5-star iTunes reviews to help us in the rankings!  Thanks for listening!

FRIDAY THE 13^TH (1980)

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Highly recommended read for fans of the series.

Happy Friday the 13^th!  Don and Friend are back to dive headfirst into two huge topics.  Things start off to a rollicking start as the current state of the WWE Network is reviewed along with their recent pay-per-views.  Then it’s movie time as the 1980 original FRIDAY THE 13^TH is watched with an appreciative eye (non wrestling fans can look for the review to begin at the 38:00 minute mark).  So sit back enjoy singing a bit of Tom Dooley while you’re playing a game of Strip Monopoly with your closest friends but be sure to check the pantry for Crazy Ralph before any shenanigans begin.

Get the 'E' out.

Verdict: GUILTY! (Episode #6)

You are all GUILTY!
Guilty of loving this podcast!  That’s what we’d love to hear.  Remember you can contact us through the Twitter link on the side of this very page!  Until then, sit back and enjoy a huge helping of all things “Guilty Pleasure” as we carefully avoid all the sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll and stick to the kinds of movies you may not openly embrace in front of strangers.  There are plenty of fast cars, road rage, Stallone, Dr. Jones, Carradine, Lee Majors, and Flash Gordon to keep this show rocking for over two hours!

DEATHRACE 2000 (1975)

Episode Summary:

Don and Friend spend over two hours discussing cinematic marvels that truly own up to the title of Guilty Pleasure.  Which movies do our podcasting duo favor?  You’ll have to listen to find out but expect to hear revelations about boxers, sharks, New York gangs, fast cars, Stallone, Earth’s Truest Savior, and of course…the Beastmaster!  All of this plus we delve back into the catalog of Roger Corman for his guilty pleasure on wheels spectacle DEATHRACE 2000!

TAKING A SPLIT! (Episode #5)



And the Academy Award goes to...



ENTER THE KUMITE!
IT LOOKS FUN!

Happy 2015 and to celebrate Don and Friend learn about the Kumite, the Dim Mak, and do the splits with Jean Claude Van Damme...far too many times to count!  Yes, it's our first reminiscent movie as the podcast returns to a film that we have not seen in over twenty years.  How have the decades treated BLOODSPORT?  Hint, hopefully better than Chong Li treats Jackson.

There's plenty more to delve into as both hosts discuss books and documentaries that have been keeping us entertained over the past weeks.  Naturally things immediately drift towards the topics of Arrow and Flash as Don desperately tries to prevent the show from turning into just a monthly update on two of the better offerings on television.
