Just listened to @thejoshl.bsky.social and Jamie go long on Friday the 13th Parts 1 and 2 on the first installment of their month-long Jason Voorhees @sleazoidspod.bsky.social podcasting extravaganza. Time to rewatch a personal canon film. Had I been on the pod, this would get the 5-stars from me.

Was a pleasure to be joined by @jlalibs.bsky.social of @vinsyn.bsky.social on the pod this week, who showed us a 70s blaxploitation film by Ossie Davis I had never even heard of (Gordon's War) that is basically a Harlem men-on-a-mission vigilante-revenge Point Blank/The French Connection.

Thrilled to be joined by @willowcatelyn.bsky.social to talk about Prince's screen debut in the quasi-autobiographical rock opera/concert musical Purple Rain + his directorial debut Under the Cherry Moon, a strange post-modern pastiche of Old Hollywood rom-coms & European art films.

Someone (aka @theworstnun.bsky.social) finally had us talk about the movie where Guy Pearce & Robert Carlyle want to romantically cannibalize each other as part of a larger horror-western metaphor for America's insatiable manifest destiny greed. Also one of the best (and weirdest) movie scores ever.

An opportunity to share one of my favorite original lobby cards that I own!!! Robert Mitchum drunkenly watching Bobby Orr and going “what a future he’s got, huh?” not knowing what’s about to happen to him makes me tear up.

This week we had @slimyswampghost.bsky.social back on the pod to discuss a pair of disgusting 1980s Video Nasty slashers that are at times also relaxing, slow-burn remote island travelogues. Pretty hard to scrub the image of George Eastman tearing a fetus out of the womb & chowing down on it after.
