Episode 81: The Last Withnail

What’s the old saying? “Ask and you shall receive.” Maybe I’m thinking of “Be careful what you wish for.” It can go either way this week as you will hear.

First up is our top six list of underused and / or underappreciated action stars.

Then we get into our first review, 1987’s “Withnail and I.” The sociopath drunk junkie, Withnail (Richard E. Grant) and his equally unemployed actor friend I, (Marwood played by Paul McGann) need to get out of their squalid apartment and into better surroundings. They accidentally end up on holiday in the English countryside where they can’t seem to adjust. Hunted (?) by a poacher, stalked by a homosexual “Uncle” (Richard Griffiths) and facing down randy bulls are but a few of the problems facing the pair. A true cult film, it is written and directed by Bruce Robinson.

Next up is the 1982 flick, “The Last Horror Film.” Directed by David Winters and starring Caroline Munro and Joe Spinell, “The Last Horror Film” tells the story of one man’s quest to put his favorite actress in his movie. Or does it? The back-story may actually be more interesting than the plot of the film.

Episode 80: The Detroit Turn On!

We have hit the 80’s!!

Do you remember the 80s? Breakdancing, New Wave, mullets and more importantly, for your intrepid hosts, movies. Nothing encapsulated the teen angst and the hardships of relationships quite like a John Hughes movie. Bill and Chris take some time away from all of their goofball antics to reflect back on how John Hughes affected their lives. Of course, this is done in the form of a top six list.

Mercifully, just before Chris gets all misty, they delve into their first review; Troma’s teen sex romp comedy, “The First Turn-On!” from 1983. Written by Georgia Harrell and Michael Herz, this flick is directed by none other than Michael Herz Lloyd Kaufman. In an anthology style of storytelling, we get to see how each of the main characters lost their virginity.

Then, we move on to 1973’s Detroit 9000. Directed by Arthur Marks from a script by Orville H. Hampton, Detroit 9000 shines a light on the political and social climate, framed around fundraiser for an African American’s Gubernatorial campaign.
